CHARLIE THE FIRST COMING.
Chin panzee Is the Greatest Circus Per-
former in the World.

former in the World.
Charlie the First, a chimpanZee, IS
one Of the star performers with the
Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on
Earth His close mblance to the
human lifts him into class by him
self. All mans divine gifts, with the
exception of the power Of speech. are
possessed by this strange creature.
Science says there is a link connecting
lower animal creation with that Of the
human race. Charlie the First proves
this theory. Within him is the divine
spark Of human fire. To such an ex-
tent has he developed by contact with
man, that he has become a better per-
former than any man who ever lived.
Charlie the First was born in Africa
about ten years ago. Nothing Is known
Of his antecedents. In 1903 a party Of
scientists came upon him seated be-
meath a tree eating cocoanuts. Instead
OF fleeing, the animal walked up to
them, his arms laden with nuts which
he passed around. at the same time
making motions which plainly said,
These are to eat" The men were
amazed. and taking the nuts were
about TO pass on, when the friendly
creature took one of them by the hand
and tried to detain him. The party
proceeded, however. but had gone but a
few miles when the animal overlook
them; nov carrying pad crudely
woven into a mattress, a club and
cocoanut shell he used as a cup.
For days he marched with the par
ty. sometimes ahead. other times lin
gering behind, but more often walking
with them. At meal times he brought
fruit and nuts from the forest. ex-
he could eat. Seeing the negro servants
carrying wood, he helped them, and
from that on began to make himself
useful An an experiment the scien-
lists placed the animal with the captain
Of a small freigfter. He became useful
from the start. In three days he was
carrying burdens and washing the
deck. week later he astOnished the
men in the galley by putting un an
apron. That day he helped wash the
dishes.
From this on his progress was rapid.
The scheme to let him develop merely
by his desire to initiate was complete
success. After eight months the men
whose hand he shook in the African
| tnicket. took Charles the First to Lon
don for further development. From
this on his history reads Like a miracle.
| Scientists from all over Europe exam
| ned him. Even the king Of England,
| the German emperor and Alfonzo Of
Spain had him brought before them
| There was but one opinion: Here is
the exemplification of the Darwinian
theory or an accident Of nature" DR..
| Buchanan, one of the discoverers Of the
| animal, now brings him to America as
| one of the big features with the Barn
| UNI and Bailey circus.
Everything he does proves him more
human than animal. He dimes with the
use of full table equipment. He sleeps
in bed. He plays on the piano. He
shines his own shoes. He sews on his
own buttons AS a performer he excels
man. He Is an accomplished bareback
rider. He is a skillful trapeze artist, a

= German laborer employed with the
county bridge gang. oppman was
locked in Jail over Sunday and the
marshal lugsed away in triumph the
pony" while thirsty friends, who were
awaiting Oppmann's arrival with the
keg, Went away with cracking lips and
parched throats
The officer had watched Oppmann
while ne drove out of the avenue a
short time before in an empty vehicle.
Clark remained until Oppmann re-
turned with the keg and started up the
stairs. when he was arrested.
In the mayors court this morning
the officers filed two charges prepared
by County Attorney A. G. DAILY, charg-
ing selling intoxicating liquors and
keeping with the intent to sell Before
being arraigned Oppmanns attorney
