she does all this by signs from her
trainer. This is mistake and will
soon be seen to be incorrect when
her performance is witnessed. She
can tell, in answer to question, the
number of women in the audience,
the number of little girls and OF
men She can readily tell the color
of a hat, waist or skirt.
Simple mathematical sums are
also quickly mastered by this won
derful horse. Trixie also operates a
cash register, makes correct change
and registers sales correctly. This
is almost beyond belief but is never
theless a fact. She can give the cor
rect change for 1t dollar as quickly
and readily as man.
Among the many things this in
telligent animal does is to pick out
any coin from number at the call
of some stranger in the audience.
Mr.. Barnes throws a number of coins
on the ground and then asks anyone
in the audience to tell Trixie what
coin they wish to pick up She does
it as quick as flash. There were
quarters, hnlf-dollars and dollars in
the pile, and after the halves had all
been picked up, person in the audi
ence asked for another half dollar.
Trixie shook her head at once There
were no more halves. She tells the
time of the day by any watch and
registers it on a number rack.
These are but few Of the many
things which the horse does. She is
a nervous, high strung animal and
is quick in action. Mr.. Barnes drives
her about the streets without lines
and bride TriSie goes through all
the high school gaits and does many
other stunts in the shafts. Those
who have failed to see this horse
should take advantage of this oppor-
tunity before she leaves the city.
She will surprise and educate you
and convince the most skeptical that
a horse can think and reason.
Trixie has been across the Allan
tic twice, to the Pacific coast twice,
in England, France and Germany
and has been in nearly every state
in the United States.

A Horse That Can Think And Count,
And Almost Talk.

w. A. Barnes, the owner of the
Princess Trixie, who performed on
the streets of Manchester Monday,
and who is being seen each afternoon
and evening at the Central Opera
house this week, was born in this
city, being the son Of Ed Barnes,
who will be remembered by num-
berof our readers.
About the Princess Trixie the
Webster City Journal Of last Friday
said:
This wonderful horse, which is
spending the week in Webster City,
is really native of this locality.
Her mother came from Humboldt.
Her mothers name was Gypsy Queen
and she was owned by Prof. w. A.
Sigsbee, of that town. She was a
famous trick animal and travelled for
years. Trixie's father was Boniveta,
Barnum's famous imported Arabian
trick horse. With two such famous
parents i. is no wonder that Trixie is
highly intelligent. Mr.. Barnes
bought Trixie when she was four
years old and paid the sum of 49,.
600 for-her. She is now ten years
old and has travelled constantly dur.
ing those six years.
Those who witness the perfo M
ances Of this animal can see that
contrary to the general impression
horses can think and reason. Trixie
displays extraordinary intelligence
| She shows that animals have more
sense than they are generally credit
ed with. Trixie proves that horse.
can reason. Although naturally in
telligent and quick to learn, hel
training began early. She was
trained exactly as athletes are ant
| she does contortion acts similar t
those Of mon.
4 Trixie has mastered many word
! of,the English language and ca.
count to twenty and also tell colors
These are astonishing things an
many people are Of the opinion tina
