CARNIVAL IS
BEST FUN

kind of lions and sat on the back of
one and stood on his back and
opened his big massive jaws with
her bare hands.
A minstrel show of pretty girls,
an armless man who could shoot
with his toes as straight as die,
the midgets and their baby, the tall
man. the cannibals that slashed
each other in their fighting, and the
crazy house were all there.
And such crazy house! When
l got out of that place my head
was still going round and round and
my feet wouldn't walk straight.
And l can't tell you about all
the fun we had. You'll just have
to go and see.
The first days attendance at the
carnival showed S72O paid admis-
sions. The queens highway was
thronged with sightseers until a
late hour, and merry, tinkling
laughter, the shouts of the show
men, and the noises of the animals
mingled together into a truly ex-
hilarating medley.
The queen, Miss Anna Tretner,
and her two maids Of honor, Miss
Mary Lynch and Miss Cress
Koontz, were the admired of all
observers"
The big show at the armory is
we'll worth seeing, and it is a real
education to see what the Inland
Empire has to sell and what the
travelling men are selling.

Hurray! I've been to the circus
Yes, stree, it's simply a hummer.
There was a tiny little girl got
in a cage with seven or eight big
snarling, kissing leopards and lions
and she made 'em do tricks! Two
or three times they struck at her
with their big sharp claws, but she
never moved, no. sir, just kept at
the brutes until they moved. One
big fellow actually laid down at her
feet and let her pet him and to cap
the climax she sat on him.
And the seals! They were the
cleverest little seals I ever saw.
When the owner threw a big ball
toward Dick, the trickster, he
caught it right on the tip of his
nose. Dick repeated this on top
of horses back and never once
did he let the ball fall! And every
time Dick got his lump of sugar the
other little seal would clap his fins
so hard and he kept it up until he
got his lump, too.
Caesar Wallace, the untamable
lion, was in big cage and he
roared and snarled and fought at
his keepers. In the midst of his
raging man stepped into his
cage! AS soon as the lion saw
him he made for him, but the man
was behind the iron bars just in
time.
And there was another girl who
went into a cage of those same
