500 Indian dogs barking.
Well, pa was the foolishest man in
the lot, cause he had tied the lariat
rope that he held his elk by, around
his belt, and when the elk. went over
the hill pa was only hitting the high
places, and he was yelling for me to

business which he knew all about,
would make money, while the man
who knew about dry goods, but
worked in millinery store or stock
OF tinware, got it in the neck. He
would either get stuck on the head
milliner, or buy stock of tinware
that would not hold water
So a resolution was passed to this
effect that hereafter no temptation
could be great enough to get our show
to go into anything outside of the
business, no matter how good it looked
as get-rich-quick affair. So we gath
cred up our show and played a whole
week in Oklahoma, and had full
houses all the time, and made money
enough to redeem our animals that had
been attached by creditors We have
paid up our debts, and we got out of
Oklahoma with flying colors.
If We had gone right on to Kansas
we would have shown sense, but some
cowboys from the Indian Territory
told pa and the other managers that
il we would take the show to the In
dian Territory we couldn't get cars
enough to haul the money away, as the
Indians had got round-shouldered and

pen. The elephants wouldn't come ou
of the creek, so the boss canyassmar
went over to where there were about
500 cowboys and Indians on horse
back, and asked them to ride into thu
creek and drive the elephants oul
where the rest of the animals were, on
the prairie.
Gee, but that was the greatest mis-
take he could have made. The men
on horseback didn't want any better
fun, so they made charge, in line OF
battle, just like Sheridan's i, cavalry
down the bank, into the creek, yell
ing and waving lariat ropes, and
swapping whips and the elephants got
out of that creek in hurry. The COW
boys threw lassoes over the hind feet
Of the elephants, and tried to hold
them, and the elephants beloved, and
dragged the cowboys and their ponies
right amongst the other animals, and
in about minute, as the boss can
vassman said when he come to, and
they were picking the cactus thorns
out of him: Hell was just plumb out
for noon."
The buffaloes smelled the Indians
and they started to stampede, like they

bow-legged carrying the money they
had made grazing cattle, and the ter.
ritory was full of cowboys that had
money to burn, and they hadn't seen
a circus since the war.
Well, it seemed a shame to go by
the Indian Territory, and allow those
poor Indians to break their backs car
rying money around, and so we sent a
carload of bill pastors into the territory
and billed towns that would hold us
about q week, and we figured that we
would clean up enough money to last
us all lifetime. I wish I didn't have
to write about the result, cause we are
broke up so we can't look pleasant to
have our! pictures taken.
It was a bright, beautiful Sunday
morning that we arrived at Muskoka,
and soon after daylight we had our
tents pitched. AS We had all day Sun
day to rest, pa suggested that it would
be a good idea to take all our animals
that eat grass out on the grazing
ground on the edge Of the town and
let them fill up on the nice blue grass
that was knee-high all over the coun-
try. So after breakfast ws detailed
men to take charge of the different
animals, and herd them out in the tall
grass. It was beautiful sight to see
those rare animals, gathered from all
over the world. eating grass together.
The Virginia enterprise., 1906-04-20

in perfect peace, in this new: country.
The animals that we thought would
stand without hitching like the ele-
phants, were cared for by their at,
tendants, but the animals that might
wander from their own fireside, were
picketed out, or held by long ropes, the
deer, the buffalo, the zebras, the sacred
cattle, the elk, the yaks, the camels
and that kind, were tied with long
lariats, and held by the men detailed
by the managers. For couple Of
hours the animals just gorged them
selves, after they had kicked up their
heels a spell and rolled in the grass.
Then one Of the elephants got up on
his hind feet and held up two toes,
like boys in school hold up two fin
gers wl1en they want to go in swim
ming, and the elephant started for a
creek and went in the water, and the
whole herd followed, and they spat-
tered each other, and ducked and rolled
around just like school boys. The
whole population of the town, whites
and Indians, came to the bank Of the
river to watch the fun.
Pa was holding his elk by ROPE,
and one of the managers had rope
around the neck of giraffe; the
treasurer and the ticket taker, was
leading the zebras, and everybody was
busy with some kind of animal, and
had a rope around an antelope, and
some of our men on horseback were
herding the buffaloes. 1t didn't seem
as though anything wrong could hap

FOUND AFTER FIFTY YEARS
Girl Who Wandered from New York
at Age Of Six Discovered
in the West.

Albuquerque, N M.-Hester Ann
Alexander Smith, for so years a wan
derer on the face of the earth, without
a living relative known to her, has
just been identified as the daughter
Of the family Of Paddocks, wealthy
farmers living near Warwick, N Y.
who for half century have been look
ing in vain for the missing daughter.
The story of Mrs. Smiths wander
ings is a good deal stranger than fic-
ton. Fifty years ago, while a child
Of six years, she followed a wandering
hand organ man away from her home
one morning. The hand organ man
had a monkey and, attracted by the an.
tics Of the animal. the child followed
on and on until the itinerant musician
took her up and made her sing fol
him as he toured the country.
The whole country aided in the
search for the child, but without re-.
suit. With the hand organ man she
| travelled westward and finally found
her way to the tactic coast.
There she grew up, forgetting her
name and the names of her relatives
and only retaining a dim memory of
| the scenes of her birthplace.
1t was this dim memory which has
finally restored her to her relatives.
who have never forgotten the missing
child. Mrs. Smith has been twice mar
ried.
| In 1884 she came with her family to
Silver City, N. NJ, where she buried
her husband and all of her four chill
dren. Feeling the years creeping on
she longed for more knowledge of her
own people. Three years ago she
came to Albuquerque and began the
search for her relatives. She adyer-
tised widely in eastern newspapers, de-
scribing the scenes as pictured ON her
memory of her childhood days.
The result was letter from Thomas
G. Paddock, of Vernon. N. J., her cous-
in, and another from her brother.
James Paddock, of Warwick, N. Y,
who is still living at the old home
stead. Correspondence began at once
and Mrs Smith is soon to. go to the
home of her childhood. She learned
tnat her parents had been dead Tor
rs years and that of her brothers and
sisters but one was living. Her rela-
tives in New York are wealthy and
have written her that she need have
no further care for the future.

What has previously been said Of
permitting the child more freedom
with the symbol forms may now be

not avail itself of the liberty to devl-

the less talented will work by ths
forms, while the most talented will

the cultivation of talent, observation

- Modifying Picture Forms.
The same would hold Of any sym.
Dol, and especially that Of the human
figure. As soon as a man can be
represented by an arrangement of par
allelograms it is natural to try to so
modifr the latter as to approach the
complex1ty of rounded forms. The
teacher may permit and even encour-
age this where the effort seems built
upon careful observation, but should
not insist upon It. The danger lies

ton needs constant supervision, and
the teacher should constantly turn this
instinct to observation j instead of mis-
taken practice. Have the child take
notice Of the larger details of charac-
ter in forms, without fofgetting the
big general form. If its@has always
been made to reduce complicated forms
to the most simple ones, as has been
the practice, instead Of seeking to elab-
crate the simplest forms given, it
may have cultivated simplihcation to
the point where it can be permitted

in the stress the child will place upoa
such details of form to the loss of the
greater form, and the complete for
getfulness of the purpose OF the pic
ture, which is to present an idea in
an agreeable arrangement, and not TO
exhibit limited knowledge of drawing
in the objects which are but it's COM

occupied with the putting of whiskers
and buttons on its drawing Of a man
than upon the man taking his proper
place in the picture it's effort is worse
than wasted, because in losing sight
of the picture purpose the ultimate
good effect of such training as this on
any future artistic work is lost.

is man and boy coming home frorn

the close adherence to the rigid SIM

than is employed in the combinations.

be made less stiff and more rounded.
the bodies less squared, the distant trees
given a freer outline, and so On
within the knowledge OF the child.
The teacher should call attention to
the action of the figures and poin7
out the angles made by the legs IN
walking. The man ami boy are tired
and their legs drag after them. Try
to Illustrate this by the stick rgures,
calling upon the observation OF the
child and comparing this action witA
other walking figures it has drawn.
Note the proportions of the three pic
lures and see how the long horizontal
panel with greater length of horizoc
gives more the feeling and poetry Of
the idea of coming home from tha
fields at evening than does the up
right panel with its closer proportion
A little color has been suggested, bit
more may be used; tone might b.

The other subject is Gathering Ap-
ples." The first combination is given
with the plain forms, the other two
with more freedom of line and the
picture at the bottom OF the page is
quite free in its use of the forms.
Study the action by the stick figures
as before. Note where the shape be-
comes more flexible by fleer treatmen.
while it still conforms to the original
FORMS
The last picture shows a knowledge
gained by the right understanding OF
the use of the symbol FORMS Struc .
turally it is the same as the first
blocked out combination, but in mod
flying the hard structural form. the
knowledge of observation has been
added. All elaboration is with due
regard and in proper relation to tho
whole. 1t is not given SO much as an
example to model after as an instance
of the permissible and desirable car
rying OF drawing beyond the first
symbol stage when the ability is with
the particular child.
