BRITISH SAILORS
MAKE FUN SKATING

The funniest thing in the world was
to watch the British sailors from the
Bedford at the skating rink last night.
The first huff was there with a clever
outside edge and Dutch roll that drew
the admiring attention of ali the on
lockers. But the fun was to watch
the men.
They tackled ship, jibed, got in stays
and then fOundered suddenly on the
cement floor. After divers had gone
down to stop up the leaks and dummy
scows were warped alongside, they
We're gradually hove above water.
Then they started on another voy-
age. After a time they found that
they could do better under consort.
One deft marine with an ability to
keep his legs from straddling aft I'M
dertook to conduct three tyros. He
conducted for about half a minute.
Then the whole bunch put their helms
hard starboard, tried to make land
ing and subsidized sweetly.
Meanwhile their wise shipmates who
refused to tempt the tickle goddess of
speed on cement lined the spectators
benches and handed out large eneour-
agement. :'BiIl, yer feet is strayn.

"Hi love a schooner no 'er the bar, but

These were just a few of the gen
tie joshings that passed out across the
| floor. Everything was taken in the
best of good nature, and when one OF
the sailors referred to a skater as ga

A BARNuM TRICK.
Getting His Posters Into Canada With
out Paying Duty.

Getting His Posters Into Canada With
out Paying Duty.
One of z. Il. Barnums most success
ful feats OF bamboozlement was played
upon the Canadian customs authori
ties. The veteran showman's tours
were always planned far In advance,
and one winter he made up his nina
to take his great circus aud nenag-
erie through Canada during the sum
mer after the next. This gave him
about two years In which to mature
his plans.
One important item OF a showman's
expenses consists OF his advertising
piacards, and MIR. Barnum was always
lavish with these gaudy prints. He
was aware that the Canadian govern
ment imposed a high duty on this
class of imports, and yet he wanted to
paint Canada red, yellow. blue and
green with a lavishness that no show
man had ever displayed In that coun-
try before.
Now, there was no printing house
anywhere In Canada that could begin
to turn out the kind of work that Mr..
Barnum required either In size, color
or finish. Nevertheless his immense
posters came under the same classl.
fcation as much smaller Autographs
and printed colored matter did. and he
knew that the Dominion custom au'
thorities would not abate one tot of
the full toll, but would rather rejoice
at the opportunity to mulct the foreign
er who would convey so much money
out Of country.
So Barnum studied the question
awhile and finally sent on at once
great lot of circus posters of the most
gorgeous designs whereoD yellow lions
and clawed striped tigers and brown
bears fought with blue APPROPRIATENESS
till gore flowed into beautiful crimson
backgrounds. No agent appeared when
the posters were detained by the Ca
madam customs officers to pay the
duty. They were accordingly held for
twelve months, then duly advertised
for sale for three months more and
finally put up at auction with lot Of
other unclaimed parcels and were des-
ignated In the catalogue merely as
"colored prints"
Nobody took any interest In them
when the auctioneer called for bid.
and finally the whole batch was knock
ed down for a song to secret agent
of the circus who had been sent up by
Mr.. Barnum for that express purpose.

Terror of the Stealth Of the Cunning

One of the reasons given by old writ

that water tortoises. too, eat croco-

real desolator of crocodile homes,

Crocodiles' eggs, however. are absurd
