A WONDERFULLY
FRROClOUS ANIMAL
Captured In the Jungles Of South
America Brought. to
Wahpeton
And PLACED ON EXHIBITION
a Large Crowd Pays to SEQ a
Show that Fails to
MatorlaIizo

Last evening, shortly after dark
there trudged into Wahpeton from
the direction of Fairmount, a pair
of horny-looking people, who lost
little time in making it known a
mong boys and young men in whis
pers that they had with them a
strange and terribly ferocious
beast that had recently been cap
tured in the jungles of South Am
erica, and that if a suitable room
could be obtained they would put
it on exhibition.
They described the animal as
one that until recently was not
known to exist and the most fer.
ocious beast that inhabits the
earth. 1t had been found in the
region of Roosevelt's Lost River
along a branch of the Amazon,
and was indeed a most remark
able animal not for its size, but
for its wonderful strength and
agility. It had been named eli
asticutis," and for the small sum
of dime, or only ten cents they
would exhibit this animal and per-
nit the spectators to witness
some of its wonderful feats.
They could give their exhibition
only at night, they said, and with
out knowledge of the police, as
the animal they had was so ter
ribly ferocious that they would
not be permitted to exhibit it in
daylight, or at any time, if the po-
lice had knowledge of it, since il
it should make its escape it would
destroy everybody in the neigh
borhoOd before it could be dis
patched. Thus were the boys all
cautioned against giving out any
information about the show until
it was over, as it might leaC
to their arrest for even patroniz-
ing such a show.
This request of. secrecy only
served to whet the curiosity of tho
boys all the more in this strange
and ferocious animal, and in q
short time large building haG
been secured and every boy in
town who had been lot into the
secret was on hand for the show
Those who had no dime of theil
own managed to borrow one from
a more fortunate companion, and
the yard in front Of the building
secured for the show was soon fill
led with boys and young men
from all over the city.
The show1nen had taken tlle
Jiasticutis into the building
through a rear door and had il
securely chained in a smal! side
room just off the main floor, wher
the front door was opened aid the
boys and young men began to llc
into the room. Their admission
fees, being paid the crowd soon
became impatient to see the VOL
derful animal, and the exhibitor
soon appeared in another door,
where he delivered such hair

ASHAMED OF HER
BAD COMPLEXION

Many an otherwise attractive
girl Is a social failure because OF
a poor complexion. If your skin
is not naturally fresh, smooth
and glowing, or has suffered from
an unwise use of cosmetics, Resi-
mol Soap and Resinol Ointment
will almost surely clear 1t in a
normal, healthy way. 1t Is SO
easy too.
Just battle your face for sew
eral minutes with Resinol Soap
and hot water, working the
creamy lather into the skin gently
with the finger-tips. Then wash
off with more Resinol Soap and
warm water, finishing with dash
of clear, cold water to close the
pores.
Do this regularly once or twice
day.. occasionally spreading on
little Resinol Ointment for ten
or fifteen minutes before using
Resinol Soap. and you will be
astonished how quickly the heal
ing, antiseptic Resinol medical
ton soothes and cleanses the
pores, removes pimples and black
heads AMI leaves the complexion
clear, fresh and velvety. Resinol
