SOME BALD FACTS
 OF sELLs-FLoTO SHOW

Tall and thin he was, and slipped past the officeboy at the door with d sort of sliding, sinuOus gait He took his place by the city editors desk and removed his hat Why he had kept it on at all was somewhat of a puzzle for one hair-count 'em-one, was all that rested beneath It wobbled a bit in the air, as the tall man smiled.
 T call him Napoleon" he announc- ed, "because he grows out of the bony part. See? Bony part-Bonaparte Funny joke. Get it? But, anyway, as 1 was about to say, you wouldn't think I was a press agent to look at me, would you? Well, I'm not. That is, not exactly. I'm just here to pre- sent the bald facts thar! harp about the Sells-F -Floto circus and Buffalo Bill (himself). which is coming to your beautiful luxurious city, on Thursday, April 9
 And he seated himself without being asked-'1 have much to tell. We've got the most wonderful, the most glorious galaXy-.'
 Beg pardon galaxy is an old word. It's been worked to death."
 True. it has. It just slipped by in the enthusiasm of the moment. How ever, you know Buffalo Bill? Of course. He's with us. Personally, too. He'll appear. Something absolutely new, spectacle called 'Warpath, with his retinue of riders and ropers and ranch girls and other experts, in the most extraordinary, marvellous con coction ever before depicted before any aud"
 Slow down on the adjectives please
 Huh? Oh. beg pardon. Certainly. But about the other attractions. There's Fora, the braVest woman in the world. and her three herds of ele- plants, there's Devlin's Zouaves, Capt. Dutch Recardo and his wild animals. Marguerite RecardO and more wild animals, trained but untamed, remem- Der that: the five United States gov ernment hyneys-.'
 The what?'
 "Hyneys. A new beast. And given into the keeping of the Sells-F'loto circus by the United States govern ment But l haven't even started yet. Did I tell you about Bon, the blood sweating hippo or about the Waites. Australian whip crackers or about the hundred aerialists and acrobats and the whole congress of equestriennes- and all of 'em pretty?'
 And did I mention the parade? l should have done so. It's on my mind every minute. Two miles long, you know. with all the cages open, with the nine bands playing. with the forty clowns all there, and the six hundred horses and all that sort of thing. And the Giant Serenadum. too, and the Vocalina. But did you ever see a Vo- calina 9"
 No"
 "Only the bald facts. you see. The Vocalina is a new instrument in the world of music, guaranteed to give forth harmonious sounds that would tempt the angels away from their golden harpS, that would lure the sirens from their perches and make them trail in the wake of it's wonder ous melody like hungry dog after Q bone. that would"
 "P-l-e-a-s-e, You promised no eX- travagance."
 50 I did, so I did. Just one thing more and I cease. Buffalo Bill is to lead this parade at 10:3o o'clock the morning of the performance as spe- cial honor to this city. And more fol- lowing the parade he intends to hold a reception for children at the show grounds And still more, the pflce ol admission remains the same, twenty five cents, with a seating capacity that is tremend-ous And those are only bald facts. Come on, Napoleon And with his one waving hair. the tall man faded from the office.
