When Brander Matthews went to his
club one evening, according to the
Dookman. he Went to the letter box
and looked through the compartment
marked M" and found therein very
peremptory dun from n tailor. Mr..
Matthews was puzzled, as he had had
no dealings with the insiStent tailor,
until he again looked at the envelope
and found that he had unwitting.y
opened letter belonging to another
member OF the club: 50 he put the bill
back III the envelope and returned it to
the compartment. AS Mr.. Matthews
was turning to 90 he noticed the mem
ber for whom the bill was intended
coming toward the letter box. \ min

room, where Mr.. Matthews was sitting

It GAVE GREAT SAT-
|SFACT|ON
\ Show That Gives Every
thing They Adver-
tise

The Great Floto Shows gave two ex-
and gave general satisfaction. They
fulfilled their promises in eve respect
n fact they gave much better show
han was looked for and should they
ever visit this section again they will
e welcomed by large attendances.
The afternoon perfo. nance was
argely patronzed, but the evenings
attendance was not what is should
ave been. A large number stayed
iway under the impression that the
many features would be cut, as is the
general custom of travelling tented
;hows.
A more serious mistake was never
nade. as two new features were intro
iuced and as whole the show was
much better in the evening
Owing to the high wind which pre-
vailed in the afte noon. those In at
tendance missed the tight wire act by
one of the Japanese performers. 1t
was hairraising act and received
nerited applause.
The Great Floto Shows, while not
on as large a scale as many other
companies. is first-class In every re-
'pect. They have with them the great
est bunch of Japanese performers that
ever faced an audience
The ST. Icons. comp ising man and
wife. two daughters and one boy, have
not their equals living.
The trained elephants, under the
management of D. G. Markle. is some-
thing marvellous. and one must see
their musical act in order to be con-
v.nced of its reality.
Another great feature of the Floto
Shows which no other company ha1
ever yet laid claim Is a trained Shet-
land pony that walks on It's hind feet.
The writer has had the pleasure of
seeing every circus that has visited
1an Franeisco the psst twenty-seven
years. but it remained for the Great
sloto Shows to produce this most mar
velous feature
The performance of Davoio. the
Dare Devil Dane. is unquestionably
The most daring and dangerous feat
ever attempted under canvas tent
d on a stage.
The musical ponies, and in fact,
every feature is alone worth the D. ice
of admission.
Last. but not least, IS that daring
title woman who enters the cage of
savage lions and leopards. 1t is a fact
that this same little woman is deathly
afraid of a street car. and refuses in
variably to go in the parade. where
street cars exist, but every day she en-
ters the cage Of these wild beasts and
hardles them with the ease that a
mother would a babe.
Another strong feature of the Floto
Shows and one which was consider
ably commented upon. was the court
eous and gentlemanly conduct of it's
employees. From the management down
to the humbliest attendant, nothing
out prase are due. Should this show
ever see fit TO visit Winnemucca again
they may rest assured of most hearty
and COZ dial welcome.
