have seen. The animals have unique
value and interest; they are under the
careful direction Of Joe Edwards,
former curator Of animals at the New
York Zoo. There is the smallest var
iety of monkey which you never saw
before; there is a real live vllture,
looking just as If he had stepped out
Of a Dore picture; there are beaver
and the most interesting OF all CHM
panzees. Joe and Sallie are in them
selves a decided novelty and worth
walking away out to the fair grounds
to see. There are any number Of other
animals, for some reason, that has
never engaged your attention before in

You must see Random and Serpen-
tina. The one because he is the most
gifted Of all misfortunate people who
have been born without means Of earn
ing livelihood by the use Of either
arms or legs. He is an East indian,
who has worked so diligently to over
come this lack of physical perfection,
that he now uses his mouth for all
necessary duties. He shaves himself,
writes, carves the most beautiful ar
ticles, shoot marbles with perfect ac-
curacy, rolls and lights his own cigar
Eettes and shuffles and deals with the
rapidity Of an old timer. The other
feature, Serpentina. has baffled the
scientist for years. She is a young
lady without backbone who lives ana
enjoys perfect health.
1t was thought by horsemen that

this beautiful horse finds no parallel in
animal history.
In Fair japan one sees the 'cleverest
OF stunts by some twenty Japanese ac-
robats with an added vaudeville bill Of

children are simply wonderful On the

Sisters Martyne, julie Demo in a sing
ing and dancing number, Margaret
Richards in Scotch dances-they are
all good.
There is a trained wild animal cir
Gus offering Carmen and a group OF
educated bears, Captain Hilderbruner
in the most daring lion act ever wit
messed in Fargo, a beautiful group Of
leopards subjugated by Princess Vic
toria, little lady weighing less than
any one of these treacherous cats, and
there are several other thrillers.'
There is a rare collection of snakes

show--but an exhibit really worthy of
attention. With this show is little
Sammy, tiny elephant just 5 months
old. There are two fun shows, styled
the Squeezer and Crazy house that you
must see to appreciate They are
truly houses of thousand pleasures"
There is circus given by some hun
dred feas. If you have never seen an
educated flea, see these. They walk
tight ropes, draw carriages, juggle
small meerschaum balls, waltz and do
other interesting things. Not the least
of this entertainment is the lecture
by the German gentleman who claims
to own the secret to wiring the neck

Great Herman and he Is reproducing
many of this famous magician's best
tricks. The most wonderful of all

prove one Of the taking sensations Of
the week.
There is, OF course, a fat girl and a
tiny little woman in one Of the side
shows, the latter proving quite an en-

laughing hit and was crowded during
the night.

cation is clean. This fact stands out.
