The Sells.FiOtO ShcwS-A Big
Menagerie.

The Sells-Floto Shows carry a
large mount of live stock. Horses
numbering 300 have to be cared for
every day. 1t takes tons of provender
to feed these horses and the menagerie.
The animals of the menagerie are
generally of the most interest. The
hardest and longest lived and most
intelligent is said to be the elephant.
Some of the largest of this show are
used to push the heavy wagons and
cages about the ''lot'' when the show
is setting up. One morning an eleph-
ant became enraged at his driver and
wheeled quickly and struck at the man
with his trunk The beady eyes of the
animal %glistened as he trunpetsd his
anger, the keeper dashed the big brute
with his whip and subdued him without
any damage being done. Had the man
been hit by the blow it would have
killed him. When an elephant gets
so bad that he is dangerous. the own
ers have the animal killed, and a sub
stitute takes its place, although the
killing of an elephant mean Il loss of
several thousand dollars.
The most delicate animal is the
giraffe, they take cold easily and often
die of hasty consumption. Seals are
hardy, but they are difficult to train.
Probably the hardest animal to train
is the wild African Zebra. They will
not give. up to man. They will be
killed before they will obey, Some
times hybrids are seen, and they re-
semble the full-blooded animal.
The Sells-Floto Shows carry every
thing that can be found in a good
sized city. With the aggregation is a
blacksmith, a barber, harnessmaker,
two painters, glider, cook, bakers.
electricians. a minister, the shows
own attorney and its two veterinary
physician.
Not many shows carry their own
electric light plant. This is IL feature
of the Sells. Floto shows, and the big
tent is as light as day within. Line
men are employed to keep the plant in
running order.
No one who is not in touch with the
show can form any idea of the enorm-
ity of it. 1t is a small city in itself,
constantly on the move. but with all
kinds of methodical provisions for its
running.
Two exhibits are given daily, rain
or shine, and in case of Indictment
weather, waterproof tents insure
ample protection and comfort.
The big show will he here in Lafa-
yette Sunday, October 6.

Young Weisgerber has a great deal
of name for such a little fellow. but
he bears It with dignity because it is
the Latin translation Of Flag House. %
He has not yet become a proficient
Latin scholar. but he VIII tell you that
''vexir' means flag" and .'domus'
means 'shouse."
The little fellow is extremely patriotic
and is very proud of his birthplace. He
is much interested in the fine collection
OF Colonial curios which have been
gathered together in the house, ana

GERNANYS TRADE
SHOWS BIG INCREASE
Imports to United States
for Year Amounted to
S43,844, ,495.

According to the recently compiled
records OF the Bureau OF Statistics,
nled In the Department OF Commerce
ana Labor, the commerce with Ger
many this year, both IN exports and
imports, exceeds that OF any previous
year.
The imports into this country for the
year amount to $48,SA, ,4S5, or an in
crease, roughly estimated, of $5,400,O 600
over the amount Of goods sent to Uncle
Sam by the Germans in 1906. The ex-
ports amount to $50, ,S57, ,0o4 representing
a S4,3OOOOO increase over the amount
sent out during 1876. The amount OF
goods sent TO Americans by Germany
has made a greater increase during the
past year than has the commerce going
out, Dut, nevertheless, the exports lead
the imports BY nearly 100000
Everything from automobiles to pig
iron is sent to this country by the wise
and businesslike Germans. Probably
the largest single item on the list Of
Imports IS cement, Of which 81, zoo, 900
pounds were landed on American soil,
Wines and tobaccos form no small
part of the German wares, Two thous-

co in various forms and with various
styles of labels tends TO show that the
American epicure stiIl has a place in
his heart for European delicacies. espec-
tally in questions Of smoking and drink

The Germans chief want seems to be
cotton. One hundred and eighteen mil
lion pounds OF cotton were shipped into
Germany this year. Next to cotton
comes lard, and that commodity is in
turn followed by leaf tobacco. Agrf-
cultural implements valued totally at
$4,000 form no small part of this
COuntry's commerce with Germany.
