THE PRoDIcAL GIRL"
Anonymously
Reprinted BY Request.

anonymously
Reprinted BY Request.
Some poets have sung of the beauties of home;
Its comforts, its love and its joy;
How back to the place of its shelterng dome
Is welcomed the prodiga boy.
They picture his father with pardoning smile,
And glittering robes to unfurl,
But never a poet has thought it worth while
To sing of the prodiga girl
THE prodigal son can resume his old place
AS leader of fashions mad whirl
With never a hint of his former Disgrace
Not with the prodigal girl
The girl may come back to the home she has left,
But nothing is the same,
The shadow still fingers DER dear ones bereft;
Society SCOTS at her name.
Perhaps that is why when the prodiga girl
Gets lost on life's devious track
She thinks of the lips that will scornfully curl,
And hasn't the heart to come back.
Yes welcome the prodiga son to his place;
Be merciful gracious and just
But shut not the door in his frail sisters face
Remember, she, too is but dust"

ALL ANIMALS ARE ACTORS.
Every Wild Animal With the Robin
son Circus An Actor.

Never before in the history of the
circus business has such a display of
educated wild animals been exhibit
ed as can be found with the Yankee
Robinson Threc-Ring Wild Animal
circus this season. Animals carry on
almost the entire performance. Not
only are the wild animals displayed
in steel bound arenas i'll the big tent
in all kinds of acts and tricks, but
the performance has lost none of the
old favorite stunts of the circus we
have all visited every year. Clowns
by the dozen, led by such interna-
tional favorites as Billy Jameson,
Freddy Gay, Eddie Dorie, Joe Mar
vello and a host of fun makers who
have no peer, keep the audience in
a continual uproar.
Two trains of cars, a herd of ele-
plants and camels, a complete carni-
val company, a wild animal display
with every animal an actor, a wild
west performance led by Jim Kinney
worlds greatest bucking horse
rider, the finest horses ever exhibit
ed-in fact, the greatest and most
Satisfying performance ever offered,
is the promise of Yankee Robinson.

shows will exhibit here in Santa Fe,
