Want Police Protection.

The circus people have requested the
mayor, chief of police and city council
to give them police protection during
the unloading of Kongo-the huge ele-
plant just imported from India. He is
unloaded about six O'Clock each morn
ing. Is considered very dangerous, but
if proper officials are present there will
be no danger of anyone being injured.
They have also requested that all traf-
fic upon streets to the circus grounds,
over which ''Kongo" will have to trav-
ell will be suspended during the hours
OF six and seven in the morning. In
the event the big beast would meet a
team of horses, COW, dog, or some
animal not known to him, he might
prove too much for the ten keepers who
are employed to guard and fight him.
He is heavily chained and every pre-
caution is taken with the big beast
Kongo has elephant instinct, however,
and will accept peanuts from menagerie
patrons and is seemingly very happy
when in the menagerie tent with the
other animals.

FLAME THAT is FED BY FOOLS.

At one of the most sumptuous hotels
of the city there was given luncheon
party at which a Pekinese spaniel was
host and seven other dogs of like social
rank were guests. Each was attended
by his "chaperon, lady of wealth.
The repast was prepared by the chef
of the hotel 1t was served by we'll
trained WATTS; was spread upon a
table adorned with every elegance of
silver and cut glass and hot-house
blooms. Furthermore, the reporters of
the press were notified that they might
come and write it up as function of
the first order an event" in society.
This manifestation of degenerate ex-
travagance flares out against the grow
ing discomfort of the time like a torch
in darkness. The very breed of the dog
will help to irritate, for a Pekinese
spaniel is but canine caricature, a
freak of the perverse in nature, help

Of an idle class as incapable of rational
pleasure as of useful employment.
