would make money, while the man
who knew about dry goods, but
worked in millinery store or a stock
Of tinware, got 1t in the neck. He
would either get stuck on the head
milliner, or buy a stock Of tinware
that would not hold water.
So a resolution was passed to the
effect that hereafter no temptation
could be great enough to get our show
to 60 into anything outside Of the
business, no matter how good it looked
as a get-rich-quick affair. So we gath
cred up our show and played 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.
II 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 out
of the creek, so the boss canvassman
went over to where there were about
500 cowboys and Indians on horse
back, and asked them to ride into the
creek and drive the elephants out
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 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 a 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

they were picking the cactus thorns

The buffaloes smelled the Indians,

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

had made grazing cattle, and the ter
ritory was full Of cowboys that had
money to burn, and they hadn't seen
circus since the war.
Well, 1t seemed 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. / wish 1 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 bright, beautiful Sunday
morning that we arrived at Muskoka,
and soon after daylight we had our
tents pitched. AS we had all day Sum
day to rest, pa suggested that it would
be 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-htgh all over the coun-
try. So after breakfast va 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 wosld, eating grass together

FIRST PASTURE.

Cooking school teachers-this
includes teachers" who have ap-
piled to us for weekly pay if they
would say something nice" about
Grape Nuts and Postum, and when
we have declined to hire them to
do this they get waspy and show
their true colors.
This also includes "demonstra-
tors" and lecturers" sent out by a
certain Sanitarium to sell foods
made there, and these people in
structed by the small-be-whis-
kered doctor-the head of the in
stitution-to tell these prevarica
tons (you can speak the stronger
word if you like). This same little
doctor conducts small magazine
in which there is a department
of answers to correspondents"
many Of the questions as well as
the answers being written by the
aforesaid doctor.
In this column some time ago
appeared the statement: "No, We
cannot recommend the use OF
Grape-Nuts for it is nothing but
bread with glucose poured over it."
Right then he showed his badge as
a member Of the tribe Of Ananias.
He may have been a member for
some time before, and so he has
caused these lecturers" to de-
scend into the ways Of the tribe
wherever they go.

York put the Iron on" to this

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
living relative known to her, has
just been identified as the daughter
CT 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 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.
ties of the animal, the child followed
on and on until the itinerant musician
took her up and made her sing foi
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 Pacific coast.
There she grew up, forgetting her
name and the names of her relatives
and only retaining dim memory OF
the scenes of her birthplace.
Il 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
BIER husband and all of her four chill
dfen. 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 adver-
tised widely in eastern newspapers, de-
scribing the scenes as pictured on her
memory of her childhood days.
The result was letter from Thomas
c. 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 10 the
home of her childhood. She learned
that her parents had been dead for
25 years and that of her brothers and
sisters but one was living. Her rela-
tives in New York are wealthy and
have written Ler that she need have
no further care for the future.

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 nm
gers when 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, cana to the bank of the
river to watch the fun.
Pa was holding his elk by a rope,
and one of the managers had a 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

some of our men on horseback were

A girls school at singora, siamess

A girls school at Singora, Siamese
Malaga, was opened November 9 with
AZ pupils, number which has since
increased to So. Apart from the mis-
sionary school this is the first school
for girls to be started in Siam outside
Bangkok. There is no prejudice in
Siam against education and there Is
plenty Of evidence that all over the
country officials and others in good
positions would welcome any provision
of education for their daughters. The
great difficulty, of course, as also in
the case of boys, is the want of trained
teachers.-Bangkok Times.
