JUST PLAIN GOOD

THAT seems fair Characterization of
our next SUNDAY MAGAZINE; although.
when you come to think it over, it seems
pretty high praise. Anyone Of us, man or
woman might be highly fattered to be SO
described providing, of course. there is no
comma placed between the plain and the good.
So far as our SUNDAY MAGAZINE is con-
cerned it is never plain. There arc times when
a particular number doesn't measure up to
the standard. just as there are times when sew
eral numbers are away above it, although we
know we never can get them good enough.
Perhaps the beauty and strength OF our illus
trations have become SO familiar that you
don't always appreciate how fine they are.

BABooN LoosEA1 FARGO FAIR
Rips Up Church Booth and Is Captured
After Auto Chase.

"Chacama," an eighty-five.pouni
baboon being exhibited at the inter-
state fair at Fargo, broke loose from
his cage and caused a panic among
the hundreds of people on the grounds.
It was only after an exciting chase of
over two miles by armed trainers in
an automobile that the animal was
finally captured by means of canvas
sack.
The baboon first made for the booth
of the First Presbyterian church of
Moorhead. Here he seized one of the
small girls and threw her to the
ground: but did not injure her. He
then overturned the tables in the
place and proceeded to the roof. Here
he tore off shingles, drove away four
carpenters, tore off boards from the
roof and then made across the coun-
try. Automobiles followed and he
was finally captured in greenhouse
near the city.
