THE SIDE SHOW BARKER"
By A BEANTowN BARDJ
Why don't we have, Just once
again,
The old days Of the side show,
And hear once more the "barker's'
voice
As he lets out roar after roar?
And there were the dime museums,
With all the freaks inside;
You stood with mouths and eyes
open
As the barker bid you inward
glide.
Who remembers the "ossified girl"
Who had a hardened" life!
And Vera, the famous bearded
lady"
No man wanted for wifes
Or the Cfrcassian Sword swal-

Who ate swords as she did
And Enoch. the wonderful "Man
Fish,"
Or Farrogo. the "Iron Skull"
Many times daily they broke big
stones
On .Farrogo's cement skull,
But every time he wore a new
derby
IL gave him a headache, dull.
None Of us can ever forget
The great, original Bosco,"
Who ate young snakes alive.

You hear the barker's loud voice,
Introducing this human freak,
You stand In awe and amazement
As you hear him thus speak:

HEAVY MOVEMENT /.
OF ORE PREDICTED

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 14.-(By the
Associated Press.)-If the ships are
able to obtain necessary fuel the
movement of iron ore from the Lake
Superior district to lower lake ports
this season will be close'to the figures
Of 10000, 900 tons originally esti-
mated.
This is the optimistic announce
ment of railroads engaged in hauling
ore from the Minnesota ranges to
docks at the Head of the Lakes. The
roads are reported to have supplies of
coal stocked In the mining country
sufficient to carry them through the
season.
What delay occurring 81 far this
season has been caused by the rail
shipments strike, the Great Northern
! which hauls to Superior apparently
being affected most.
Should the fuel situation become so
acute hat ore carriers on the lakes
be affected seriously. mining of ore
and shipments to the docks would
continue just the same, it was. said,
n shippers are inclined to believe
! that this alone warrants a good show
ing in shipments this year. They
pointed out that the roads would be
enabled to@geti a sufficient amount. of
ore on$the docks hat when the conl
situation was relieved, the ships could
work at capacity speed. <
Labor conditions are reported as
good throughout the mining country.
This is one thing that has favored
operators since the season opened,
and indications are that there will be
a supply of workers during the entire
season, it was said.
