THE GREAT MIDWAY
Sterling List of Attractions at
the Michigan State Fair.

In arranging for its Midway attract
Ions this year the Michigan State Fair
dealt with Herbert A. Kline, who con-
ducts Carnival Company, and who
puts on none but clean cut and inter
esting shows, firing in with the
policy of the State Fair management
Mr.. Kline has a sterling list of at
fractions and the women and the chill
dren as well as the men will seek
the Midway eagerly and find it re-
moved from the center of the grounds
as was planned in the first place.
There are many new and novel shows
this year filling twenty-one huge tents
and including the best only. There are
no moving picture shows, and nothing
is seen that is stale or out of the or
binary. There are animals galore and
many of them are performers. There
are trained fleas and an Indian Will
age, a large case OF Japanese spinning
mice, an inevitable fat woman, merry
eo-round, dancers, an ostrich farm,
and above all "a lot of courteous at
tendants The ostrich farm contains
seven birds which are hitched to
sulkies. Some will cover the half
mile In very near the minute mark.
The London Cakewalk and Roulette
cause roar of laughter all the time,
the Marie us an electrical show, the
Oriental dancers, assisted by Arabs,
are good in fencing bouts. Quincy's
three diving girls, Mills Four-in- One,
the Circling Wave and Jumping Horse
Carousel and other attractions are re-
ported excellent. There is large boa.

zoo contains a great collection of an
imals, Including one or more speci-
mems of every monkey in existence
today. Purple storks, ant eaters and
porcupines are to be seen by those
able tO Withstand the spectacle. In the
wild beast show tiger does a horse
back act. Bonita the horse that does
arithmetical sums, is also a great
drawing card. The Samar twins are
two youngsters joined by nature az The
back. Ruhle's original flea circus
shows what human patience can DO
in training naything. There is also a
dog and monkey hotel with no human
being iintthe cast and the largest piece
of amusement is the Indian village,
several of the Indians being college
graduates from Carlisle Indian School.
These Indians indulge in some of the
picturesque dances of their tribes.

The Other WAY Round.

Child's Fear of the Dark.

If mothers notice that the brains OF
very susceptible organization and the
sights and thoughts from the shadows
OF room more or less dark, let the
light burn brightly To force child
to become accustomed to the darkness
is a grave error, If it's nervous system
is so organized that this forcing is
productive OF fright.
The nervous system of a child is a
very susceptible organization ,ond the
deleterious impressions made upon it
will often make their influence felt
throughout its whole after life. If the
child asks for a light under such cir
cumstances do not refuse 1t.
