OF life, and although there is nothing

and the press of the various citieT
where they have appeared. the Wor-
than shows are the acme of clean
liness. an organization that has re-
ceived the endorsement of the COVER
nor OF Texas as the cleanest and best
he has ever witnessed.
Mr.. Wortham has no less than six
teen stellar attractions to present on
the occasion of his visit here. All the
equipment and paraphernalia is new
and up.todate and the class of attrac-
tions on a par with anything that has
hitherto been seen in the city.
There are all classes Of shows, run
ming the entire gamut Of comedy, sen
sation and skill, Clever circus per-
formers are seen in hair raising acts.
no less than nine educated and high
school horses are carried. elephants,
lions. tigers and bears are seen in two
