world, says Traveller
who went around the
world a few years ago to
engage representatives of strange
tribes for show purposes, "are the
jungle jugglers Of India. These peo-
pie are entirely different from the
jugg1ers Of the Indian cities, whom
one may see everywhere.
They are more than half savage
and miserably poor and they venture
out of their jungles with shyness
mere like that of animals than Of men.
They have no apparatus of any
kind; they perform their tricks on the
ground with spectators crowding
around them in circle and looking
over their shoulders.
They do not ask anyone to keep
his distance, but permit the onlooker
to approach them as closely as he will
| Indeed, they will let him squat right
alongside while they perform.
In their case it is absolutely the
quickness of action that enables them
to do the tricks, for they have no aid
of any kind They have not even
sleeves to help them, being half naked.
Many Of them wear nothing except a
gauzy pair of drawers, being bare
from the waist up.
yet these jungle jewellers will per
form all the famous tricks of India
right before your eyes and fool you

performed by the same man at least
five hundred times and | cannot even
form an idea yet as to how he does it,
except that | know his fingers are SO
wonderfully quick that my eyes can
not catch their movement.
There is nothing supernatural or
even mystic about any of these famous
Indian tricks They make the mango
appear to grow from the ground sim
ply by managing with wonderful deft-
ness to introduce a growing mango
plant into the soil right in front OF
you without your being able to see
them pass it.

trick. The woman in the basket is sc

The High School auditorium was
crowded last night at tho lecture
given by DR.. Byron King. DR.. King
held his audience spellbound from the
moment he started to speak until lie
said Good night" with a sweeping
bow, nearly two hours afterwards.
DR.. King announced his subject as
"Eyes that See Not aud Ears that
Hear Not, or What Fools these Nor :
tails Bel" He gave several experiences
in his won life, illustrating the first
part of the title, showing how people
are liable to listen to music without
appreciating its true value or to gaze
ut a great painting without seeing it
fully. He painted n number of beau-
tiful word pictures, charming his
hearers.
1t was the second appearance of
DR.. King in this city. The lecture last
night was under the auspices of tho
Young Mems Forum and the financial
results were very satisfactory. DIR.
King was introduced by Rev. s. r.

Lewis the Winner.

The big wrestling match at the

fall won by Lewis gave him the con-
Test.
The affair was under the supervi-
sion of Mr.. Harry Stoney, who made
of it thorough success. Anexcelent
crowd witnessed the contest, and but
for dissatisfaction with the second de-
cision, the bout was very pleasing.
Lewis and Linde went into the ring
weighing about 10 pounds, the former
short and stocky, the other taller and

Graeco-Roman style, after twenty

awarded the next fall, catch-aS-catch-

The third fall, of tie same kind as the
second, was won by Lewis in nine and
half minutes. Lewis apparently vas
the stronger man, while Linde dis
played quick action. Linde feels sore
