Alaska a Game Country.

From the Field and stream.
Alaska is big country and 1t has big
possibilities 1t has the biggest bear, the
biggest moose the biggest mountain sheep
and the biggest salmon and grayling In the
world. All of these areapleritiful and can
be taken under United States regulations
Time was when Alaska and Siberia were
thought of by many as synonymous, and
without any idea Of just, what was meant
by either name That has all changed in
the last few years, and now Alaska is not
so very far away from Seattle. Moreover
it has been found to be anything but an un-
inhabited and uninhabitable country. 1t is
without doubt the greatest game country
on the globe today, because 1t is the new
est, and the conditions are right for the
maintenance of game animals and birds.
The biggest mountain on the North Amer
lean continent is in Alaska and is well
named Mount Mckinley. BY the way. YOU
always thought that Alaska was away IN
north,' didn't you? Look on your map
and you will find that vessels leaving Seat
tie for Dutch Elarbor sail almost due west
only slightly north of west--so that In
reality the west end of Alaska is not much
north of the latitude of Japan.

to examine the menagerie and the congress
of freaks. The geological collection Is de-
scribed as exceptionally complete this
year. Among the new additions is q herd
OF four giraffes. The camelopard is ex-
ceedingly rare. and this is the only herd
exhibited in America for many years. A
baby elephant, an infant kangaroo and a
zebu, or sacred COW, born at Madison
Square Garden four weeks ago, are also
attractive features of the animal display.
Among the human prodigies are the Hor-
vath family of midgets, one of the most
attractive features OF this notable display
of odd and curious people. Incidental to
the display there is a series of dances by
troupe of Cossacks from Russia and spe-
cial musical entertainment

vilion opens with a new oriental spectacle.
entitled THE Durbar at Delhi" A triple
ring circus performance follows. Among
the most noted contributors to this part Of
the show are the Imperial Viennese Troupe
of Aerialists the Florenz and Grunaths
families of acrobats, a score of great rid
ers. twelve of whom appear Simultaneous

with their wonderfully trained stations;
the Guilietti Company of menage riders:

arch; Ancilotti. who turns a somersault on

others. A series of thrilling hippodrome
races brings the great show to an exciting

Next week will mark probably the last
American appearance of Merian's dog pam
tomime, the Swiss novelty that was pre-
scented here earlier in the season as the
chief attraction of the famous Orpheum
show. The act then received the utmost
commentator from press and public ana
was hailed as enc of the most novel and
diverting acts ever imported. Its success
was so pronounced that the rule against
repetitions of acts in the same season was
suspended. The canine pantomimists pre-
sent a domestic play entitled, "A Village
Drama which deals with the adventures
Detailing a gay Lothario and firtatious
wife. Each character is sustained by a
dog clad in the Bavarian costume, walking
upon hind legs and wearing tiny wooden
shoes that clatter most human-like upon
the stage. The fact that Merian's direction
is wholly invisible to the audience evidences
the remarkable sagacity of the animals.
Miss Belle Stone is the famous English
hippodrome artistic who is making her first
American tour since the termination of her
long run at the London Hippodrome. Her
hazardous performance consists in ascend
ing and descending, while inclosed in a

He Gave a Test.
To decide those who llesitated st. Louis
imagined a very smooth trick. Christmas
was anproaching. a time when it was the
habit for each noble at court to receive
from the king a suit of clothes or cioah as
a Christmas gift This year the king had
prepared a great quantity of handsome
cloaks with hoods-corresponding to over
coats In our day. They were delivered 10
their owners late at night. after the KING
had invited them to a religious ceremony
at the palace chapel, to take place at day
break.
There were great numbers of important
mobiles at court that Christmas And each
one entered the palace chapel dressed IN
his new cloak. All were asse Tbied, ana
the ceremony had begun. Little by little
the rays of the rising sun penetrated the
stained-giass windows. Day was break
ing And each noble saw. with astonish-
ment that his ne;ghbor tore cross IN
white on his left shoulde-.
The king had cut them out of white TX
and sewed them to the Christmas-gift
cloaks The mobiles, who had hesltateo,
were caught by the pious stratagem, pc
cause to cut off the cross would be neither
decent nor honorable; while to let 1t re-

In the year 124S France had navy. St
Louis sailed for the Holy Land at the mead
of 300 warships and galleys, including
those of his brothers and the great mobiles.
1t is true that in 1854 he brought back only
eight ships and four galleys!

GIANT, DWARF AND PIGMY HORSE
The biggest man in Barnum & Bailey
circus is George Anger. He is close to
eight feet tall, and claims Cardiff Wales,
as his native place. The smallest man in
the show is Paul Horvath. This human
atom is a native of Hungary. He is a
fraction less than twenty-six inches high
and weighs few ounces over fifteen
pounds. Under ordinary circumstances it
would not be supposed that any particular
friendship would exist between two indi-
viduals so entirely different in stature
