fruits of his or her own labor, and
to prevent any one from monopolizing
the toll of thousands, was the hope
expressed here tonight by Champ
Clark, Speaker of the national House
of Representatives, in speech at a
banquet Of the Chicago Dental Society.
In lib years our total wealth multi
piled 125 fold, and is now rated at the
enormous sum of $4,000, 900, ,00O," he
declared. This, if equally distributed,
would give S1,132 to every man. woman
and child between the two oceans. But
there is the rub. for, while few are
rich beyond the dream of avarice many
have not the wherewithal to feed and
cloth themselves.

ever, that the hope of better conditions
is not too fantastic for entertainment.

SMALLEST HIPP
Tiny Blood-Sweating Behemoth with
Hagenbeck- Wallace Circus.

Blood-sweating behemoths of holy
writ were once quite popular with
showmen. The tall, slender gentle
men in shiny top boots, who cracked
their long whips behind the rosin-
backs. were once quite enthusiastic
in their praise of the animals who.
according to the Prophet job, drank
up a river and tasted not.
But now that Little George is fair
ly launched upon his first journey
through the United States the guar
anteed blood-sweaters are in the dis
card. For one Baby George-and
there is only one--is worth half a
gross of behemoths.
George will embark from his spe-
cial car in the Carl Hagenbeck-Wal-
lace combined shows trains at an
hour when milkmen are ending their
rounds circus day. He will be trun-
died into a cage in preparation for
