Mr.. McCuno has been away on a vacation
because Of illness and dropped into Omaha
last week to recuperate. The engagement
was offered to him by Charles Allison, gem
eral manager OF the wild West show. and
Mr.. McCune accepted on the spot. No con-

"It has Buffalo Bits circus away to the

Colonel Cody a full set Of pictures showing
the general plan OF the circus in the hope
that he may get some suggestions from the

Mr.. McCune says he could take the kid
circus on the road and give a better show
and make more money than the average
wagon show made during the nineteenth
century. He regards it as a better paying
proposition, considering the money invested,
than the Buffalo Bill show and may get
the colonel to appear at the Omaha wild

WORK ON LEVI CARTER PARK
Preliminary Improvement VIII BE
Done This Year IL Plans Can
he Completed.

Preliminary work of Improvement will be
done in Levi Carter park, surrounding Sa-
lima Sea, this year, providing w. A. Adams,
superintendent of parks, can perfect his
plans in time. Title has not been secured
to any of the land. but the money is avail
able and payments will probably be made
soon.
At the last meeting of the Board Of
Park Commissioner Superintendent Adams,
who is a landscape architect, was in
structed to begin work on plans at once.
The first plans to be drawn will be for
a boulevard to the park, the preliminary
plans to be for a boulevard on Grand ave-
nue. or Brown or Fowler streets. The board
will meet again next week and select from
the preliminary plans the best for a boule-
ward and designate which street to be
used as the main driveway to the proposed
park.
'If It can possibly be done the board
hopes to get a boulevard In shape this
year." says President Bergman of the
board. Even though the park is not a
park as yet, the lake is there and the
first thing to be done Is to build a boule-
ward to the lake so people can get to it
without crawling between a number Of
freight cars and over railway tracks. The
Improvement of the park will come next
Mr.. Adams says 1t will take two or three
months to complete the plans for all the
improvements to be made in the new park
and that it will take years to accomplish
| everything needed. The board intends to
make Levi Carter park the most popular
resort in the city.

SHEATH TROUSERS FOR MEN

by Mans Misfortune.
Sheath trousers for menl

Sheath trousers for men!
II women are to wear sheath gowns"
why should men not wear sheath pants"
trousers or whatever they call them?
This was the question which more than
1000 persons asked at 10 o'clock Wednes-
day morning, when Athern Ager, driver Of
a delivery wagon, was thrown from his
wagon and his trouser leg ripped up above
the knee.
Dazed by a fall to the pavement, young
Ager stood at the Paxton hotel corner for
ten minutes wondering which wa to start
for his runaway horse.
Now, that fellow has started a fashion"
said Head Clerk Sherman. THAT is, he
has started a fashion In Omaha, but as a
matter Of fact sheath trousers are a very
old fashion in many parts of the world.
Take Spain and Mexico. for example.
There the trousers worn by the vaqueros
are slit and laced from the knee down
and flare out at the bottom, just as the
e~xpressman's do.
a lot OF fuss over a very old idea, but
sheath trousers for men will never be very
popular In the United States. The main
reason is that a nan legs do not COM
pare favorably with those of the Venus
OF MILO. Then when a man does anything
It is not by halves. II the sheath pants
become popular, take it from me that men
will return to satin breaches and white
stockings like our friend George wore"
