THE BIC SHOW
IS IN TOWN
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)

Thomases, if indeed there were any,
into ardent believers that the trade
marked title of the greatest show
on earth" is worthily and justifiably
borne by this mammoth organiza-
ton, the peer of all travelling amuse-
ment enterprises.
The circus came here from Okla
homa City, where it exhibited yester-
day, upon its own four special trains
of 50 cars, the first section conveying
the stables, commissary department
and the preliminary essentials to the
circus encampment arriving at day
break closely followed by the re-
naming trains. With breakfast out
of the way this morning the work
Of getting the parade under way
started Meanwhile the streets over
which the cavalcade was to pass were
rapidly filling up with expectant thou
sands, to whom a circus parade is a
joy forever
There it comes!"
The electrical cry worked quickly
of the sailorman's Thar she blows"
Craning thousands listened painful
ly for the first crisp blasts of the
circus bugles. The sound came. A
ripple spread that brought onlookers
on tiptoe
The tune of a measured and ap-
preaching rumble was heard. Some
thing colorful swung into view. It
was the van of the circus parade.
Thereupon, sure of being sated, the
popuace sank placidly back upon
its heels and watched Bands blared
horses caparisoned in crimson and
gold caracoled and danced spititedly
Bedizened riders swung jauntily by
Closely padlocked cages, all gilt and
glitter, creaked past, doubtless car
rying the most ferocious freight. In
fact little Johnnie confided to ma
that he heard teeth gnashing and
flesh from several of the most weird
ly decorated wagons. Then there
were open dens and cages displaying
types of wild animal life, almost
everything of any standing in the
natural history line being in the long
column, either openly displayed or In
closed cages, or moving majestically
under their own steam. The lions
just as tawny as ever, and with
Just as luxurious Dom Paul boards
as they wear in the pctures; the
camels looking as if they were the
remnants of creation; the tigers,
sleek, striped scions of the cat race,
with their insulting. bland stare; the
sacred cattle, bovine, but boasting
generations of the bluest blood and
a unique place in the annals of the
cloven- -hoofed; the genial gnu; the
alert leopard. iaunty iaguar. rabid

| TUNED women rode thoroughbred
horses escorted by gallant cavaliers
Ornate floats sparkling and brilliant
added to the rich display. More or
less clad houris, squatting upon
Olympuses of floats, swayed rythmat-
ically to all that was latest and best
in tango melodies. There were six
bands, including one composed of
women richly apparelled. More ri9
ers, more cages, and squad of
clowns came in their turn. Whole
caravans of knock-kneed camels roll
ed past, with the gait of drunken
saiolrs. And finally, thing of all
things to be desired by the juvenile
element, a clumsy and arid hillock
began to bob up and down in the
distance. Others appeared behind
and beside it. Buildings quaked.
Then, guided by robed Ghurkas with
very emphatic goads. the whole col
ony of elephants swayed past. In
conformity with a custom adopted
when the first circus parade was
staged, each animal clasped firmly
and affectionately the tail of his
predecessor in his flaccid trunk. And
nethermost of the lot came the stri-
dent calliope bringing up the rear
of altogether the best and most sat-
isfying circus parade ever seen here.
The show of horse flesh alone was
well worth while, and the spic-and-
span appearance of everything called
for much praise. The pageant scored
a bulls-eye and was a more effect
i've banisher of melancholia than a
good liver pill.
Shortly before the noon hour a
large number of fathers prepared to
leave their work and office for the
day with the sad news that they
were under the painful necessity of
taking the children to the circus.
They We're commiserated by other
male workers who still like. the cir
Gus, but didn't have the children.

being the same as given /

largest cities of the country where
1t has been acclaimed as the best |
circus ever devised.
The program starts with a spec
tacular prelude entitled The Wizard
Prince of Arabia" a pantomimic
play in which over 1000 persons take
part. including large ballet of
dancing girls trained by Ottokar Bar
tik of the Metropolitan opera house,
The action takes place upon a tre-
mendous stage and the track. Teen

ton, and abundantly replete with re-
gal pomp and splendor, this produc

If you have tried other things by the

will realize this glorious sact.
You probably are tired sticking on
tape that won't stay stuck, plasters
that shift themselves right onto your

die of your toe and press right down

"GETSIT" cl that corn in two sec
onds. The corn is then doomed as

Denver.-Colorado will receive from

gress, is passed. T. J. Ehrhart, state

ance to Commissioner Ehrhart comes
from Chairman Shackelford of the

The measure provides for an expendi-
ture Of approximately SIS an acre for
the maintenance Of ordinary dirt
roads; $50 for graveled roads and $50
for macadam roads. Chairman Shack
iesord told me-" said Commissioner
Ehrhart, that the government used
