| their padded feet. The circus hands
had to pull pa out, and it wasn't so bad,
because the crowd remained and they
thought it was a part of the show, and
that the animals were trained to sneeze
that way.
The worst case was the hippopota-
mus. He was so big and had such big
nostrils that 1 laid about half a pound
of snuff on the side of his tank, and
when he snuffed it up his nose he got
it all. I heard howl from the tank
and 1 knew the hippo was getting ready
to sneeZe, and / told pa to come on,
cause Vessuvious was going to erupt.
Pa came on the run, just as he was,
and then the worst happened. 1 think
the hippo went under water when he
found the sneeze was coming, for just
as pa got to the tank the water flew
into the air like torpedo had exploded
under a battleship, and the hippo had
sneezed all right, and pa and the audi
ence which had followed him were
drenched and deafened by the explosion.
The Hippo Also Sneezed
The hippo had blown the water all
out of his tank, and he lay on the bot
tom on his side sneezing little sneezes
pound cannon, and painting for breath
Then he raised his head, got up on his
feet and opened his mouth like a cash
cut in steer by a cowcatcher of an
engine, and he yawned, and 1 guess he
got the lockjaw cause he kept his
mouth open all the afternoon to get the
air, like a soprano singer in a choir who

We went around and inspected the
sneezing animals with the manager.
and he complimented me by saying I
had saved the show from becoming an
aggregation of stuffed animals only fit
for a taXidermst studio, and made
every animal show that he had ginger
in him. He wanted me to try my snuff
cure on the performers and freaks,
cause they were getting to be dead
ones.

Takes a Midnight Ride a Mule
BY HON. GEORGE W. PECK
EX-GOVERNOR Of Wisconsin).

to work on that COW it was simply
scandalous, cause she beloved and
cried and sneezed all at once, and
paved pa. He got up and told me I
was OVERRIDING this waking up act on
the animals.
By that time the cage of hyenas
began to sneeze quartet and fight
each other, and the atmosphere about
that time would be much like cussing
If it could be translated into English.
Pa tried to quiet the crowd and silence
the hyenas by taking an iron bar and
mauling them, but the hyenas just
backed up against the rear of the cage
and howled and sneezed at pa, ana
dared him to come on.
Tore His Shirt Off
One of them caught him by the shirt
sleeve and tore pas shirt off and eat it..
Pa was a sight with no shirt on, and he
ought to have gone to the dressing
room and slicked, but just then the
camels and the giraffes, who had in
hailed their snuff, began to sneeze am!
beg to be killed, and pa had to go over
there and quiet them.
A camel is the solemnesc looking
beast on earth when he tries to be good
natured, but when he is sick and mad
and full of snuff he is a fiend. One
such camel is enough for a man to
handle, but when fourteen camels are
all sneezing at once and trying to
locate the person that is responsible
for their trouble, it is the safest to keep
away, and when pa went in amongst
them with no shirt on and the Arab
keepers had run away in fright 1t was
d dangerous thing to do.
But pa is brave even to rashness. He
went up to Mahcmet, the double
bumped leader of the herd, who was
the leader of the sneezers, and kicked
him in the Stats and told him to hush
up his noise. He dubbed him on the
humps with a tent stake. Then there
was "A rebellion in Egypt, and Mahomet

other camels sneezed all over pa, an

gave me the money and l went and
bought five pounds of Scotch snuff and
divided it up into ounce packages and
started during the afternoon perform
ance at Wilmington, Del, to wake up
the animals.
Animals Are Peculiar
There is something peculiar about
animals, if you try to give them any
thing that they think you want them
to take, you can't drive it down them
with a pile driver, but if you try to hide
something where they can reach ii,
they watch you out of one eye and
when you go away they look at you as
much as to say: 80, you think you are
smart, don't you?" Then they will go
and dig it up and play with it and eat
it if they want to.
1 took my first package of snuff to
the lions cage, and he was the sickest
and most Disguised looking lion you

Pa was so frightened he couldn't get
supper, and everybody talked about
cats of nine tails and how prisoners
were cut to pieces, and every time pa
saw a jay with a SLOUGH hat he thought
it was a constable after him.
After dark he put on an old suit of
clothes and said he was going to Wash

ed at the depot, so pa put a saddle on

he bought oats of farmers to be deliv-

La Posta, One of the Campo Indian
Reservations
BY WayIand Smith, Secretary of the
Sequoya League

Asst week Senator Flint Mr.. Lum-
mis- and I went over the Campo
Indian reservations as well as
some of the other Indian reservations
of Southern California. Senator Flint
has been familiar with the Indian stu
alton for good many years. He may
have something significant to say in
the next session of the senate on the
subject, and he wanted TO see with his
own eyes just how things are on these
reservations. Many of the reservations
he has visited before, but the Campo
trip was a new experience
We had never seen anything so re-
mote and barren as that region, about
60 miles east of San Diego, where the
five Campo reservations are scattered
among the powders. The little patches
of tillable land on these reservations
are not irrigable so that even with
seed, good rains and a good start the
crops are more than likely to be burned
up before they can be gathered.
1t had been nearly a year since
had been on these Campo reservations
on the relief trip in which | took to the
starving Indians the help that had
been so generously given by Los An
geles and indeed by all of Southern
California. The improvement was
marked.
Last year these Indians had been sup
piled with seed grain. They had
raised crops of barley, wheat, oats and
beans. The unusual rains of last win
ter had promised we'll for results. But
in some cases the crops and even the
thin. coating of soil over the rocks had
been washed out by the torrents, and
as they could not irrigate some corn
that had started finally refused to ear
out at all. The fact is, as Senator Flint
clearly said, there is no future for the
Campo Indians until they are put on
d new reservation where it will be pos
stble to get living from the soil by
working it.
Cared for Last Winter
These Indians were supplied last
winter with plenty of good clothing by
the Sequoya league; the aged and iu-
firm of whom there are many, have
been supplied with rations. and three
devoted women, one white and two
Indian, have been working as matrons.

Well, before the day was over at Will
mington, Del, pa was scared worse
than he ever was in all his life before.
The state of Delaware is the state that
Furnishes criminals by tying them up
and whipping them on the bare back
with a at-o-nine-tails, and all our
men had been warned to be good while
they were in Delaware, cause if they
committed any crime there was NJ
power on earth that could save them
from being publicly horsewhipped. Pa
himself impressed it on the men to look
out that they didn't get into any
trouble. Gee, but the fear of a public
whipping makes men good.
Twenty years ago some hold-up men
from New York robbed bank in Della
ware and were caught and given fifty
lashes apiece on the bare back by big
negro, and there has never been "A bur-
glary in Delaware since. We thought
we would play a joke on pa. so the
manager told pa that constables were
looking for him to arrest him for cruel
ty to animals for kicking a camel in
the stomach and hitting the camel with
sn iron bar, and that if pa didn't want
to be publicly horsewhipped on the bare
back he better skip out for Washing
ton, d. c., where we would show in
couple of days and wait for us.

wy ELL, I spose 1 have done it,
wv now, and it would not surprise
me to be killed and fed to wild
animals. The manager of the show was
talking to pa and me, before we left
New York, about the condition of the
show. Its finances were all balled up
on account of settling with people who
pretended to be injured when the tent
blew down at Poughkeepsie and the
hands and performers are kicking be-
cause we are month behind on sal
aries. and they get drunk whenever
any jay will buy for them. Everybody
gives passes to everybody that wants
to get in the show, so that the box
office man has a sinecure, and people
chase us from town to town for money
for board and hay and everything.
All through New Jersey we showed
to claim agents and creditors, and
didn't take in money enough to buy
meat for the animals. He said the ami
mails had all taken cold, and lay around
dormant, and didn't take any interest
in the business and the manager told
pa he must think of something to wake
the animals up. Pa said he would
leave it to me to wake 'em up, and get
some ginger into them. I told pa if I
had five dollars ia spend l could make
