proper presentation Of the exhibition
rather than to divide the forces into
parade groups and take them away
from the places where they are most
needed BY eliminating the street cav
alcade the riding stock and performers
are fresh for their important duty OF
giving q high-class entertainment, en-
listing the best OF their ability and re-
turning to the public the full benetit
OF their talents, to which they are en-
titled
S,ill another factor which has been
considered by the management is the
inconvenience Of the merchants OF the
various cities visited by Colonel Cody
and his cohorts. Street traffic is de-
layed and business generally is discom-
,noded and upset. Municipal govern
nents have, in many cases, recognized
this fact by either refusing to give IL
cense for parades or by making the tax
prohihitive. Many other reasons could
be advanced, but it seems the best
established fact that the public is more
entitled TO perfect performance than
1t is to witness a street pageant.
1t must be remembered, however.
that the movement OF the parapaer-

BUFFALO BILL WILL NOT PARADE
He Will confins Himself to Giving .
Perfect Performance,

The announcement Is made that Buff
falo Bills Wild West and Pawnee BiiTs
Far East will not give street parade
on the day of exhibiting in this city.
Aug .. There are several reasons Tor
this decision, but the principal one is
found In the fact that horses and men
give an improved performance when
they are not compelled TO parade in the
hot sun or disagreeable rain for a
couple Of hours. It is furthermore adj
vanced that delays in transporting an
organization OF the magnitude OF the
exhibition often prevent the organiza-
ton from arriving IN town until late,
and the work OF transferring the para
phernalia to the show ground requires
the united forces of the company in
order that the afternoon performance
may not be delayed.
1t would seem, in that event, that 1t
would be more advisable to care for a

Use Of Needless Words.

Not a day goes by when one may
not see in book or newspaper an utter
~ needless use of the word purpose
says Rossiter Johnson. author Of The
Alphabet of Rhetoric" It is one OF
those words that are often necessary
in asking a question, but superhuous
IN an answer or a declaration. If one
should ask, What is the purpose of
that fuel?" the common answer would
be, 1T is for cooking purposes" We
might ask, who wishes to have his
purposes cooked?" 1t was enough to
say. 1T is for cooking" a certain book
