PAINT THE BABY ELEPHANT
According to veracious Press Agent
Circus Men Get Into
Trouble.

Tody Hamilton, the greatest Of all
circus press agents, is perturbed over
the new Virginia law, which makes it
IN offense punishable by a fine of $500
for any circus to display posters of any
feature which it does not actually ex-
hibit. says the New York Sun. Mr..
Hamilton is aging rapidly over the
thought Of what might happen if the
law should spread to other states.
IT hope it doesn't spread. do. for a
fact he said recently, in an alarmed
tone. las it is, the greatest of all shows
will have TO duck Virginia.
The man who introduced that bill
and saw It through must have wanted
a powerful big SO cents worth! Great
Caesar. If they'd fine US only two
cents, instead of S1G9, for each thing We
advertise and then don't show up with,
ii would cost US about 81. 567, 1864, 1875
to put up the tents in every town we
struck.
Circus posters are not meant to be
taken literally. There's bound to be a
certain amount of airy pefsifiage about
them, of course, But they do take the
posters literally in the 'waybaek regions.
Most of the Hey, Rube,, battles be-
tween the merry villagers and the circus
men have been caused by the circus,

day We failed to exhibit the marvellous

plaything of princesses and sacred to the
high priests OF the great temple of La
Loop, the fire king-wIy. there was an
immediate crouch or the part of the
populace Of the little Georgia town that
had dug up their two bits to see the show.
They demanded the white baby elephant
in loud, raucous tones and when the sit

had to appear in the menagerie and at

lIanation.''

After a careful examination of the
damage to the vessel it was evident
that there was no danger and the pres

The lighthouse tender Magnolia

The Magnolia was grounded. The

Nairn is on the right, or west bank
