most famous fires In history-the
burning OF the big steamship docks

that the vast general public would
rather see a fire than witness any
other kind Of spectacle that might be
offered them in the line of a catas-
trophe or calamity. This is evidenced
at every ringing of the fire bells,
which bring spectators from Car and
near to "see the machines run" and
to witness the work of the fremen
after the scene of the conflagration
is reached. When the spectacle,
Fighting the Flames" was produced
some years ago by Claude Hagen, the
well-knewn purveyor of public amuse-
ments, it was thought that the acme
of realism in shows of this kind had
been reached. But it seems that
there was room for even greater
spectacular effort, and again it is Mr..
Hagen who has discovered this. His

The Farmer and Wheat.

Fairly authentic statements
to date indicate one of the
largest wheat crops ever har-
vested this year. 1t is esti-
mated, however that the yield
will be about 80, 100000 bush
els less than in 1909. Logic
ally the price ought to be
higher now than it was then,
yet it is about 10 certs lower.
The pulchriutudinous Pat ten
and other spectators pardon

made the farmers believe last
year that the bins empty and
the crop short and promised
two dollar wheat. AS a mat
ter of fact the man behind the
pillow got about half that and
incidentally Manipulation Pat
ten benevo'ently assimilated
a few paltry millions of dol
lars. This year he and the
Chicago clique tried the game
over again. The last gouglng
made the farmer somewhat
more wary however, and the
corner failed, and wheat for

Patten transferred a million

there will be a midget circus, in
which all of the fifty performers are
Liliputians. and even the ponies and
dogs are ofethe smallest size obtain
