CIRCUS PARADES AND
EXHIBITS TOMORROW

Sells-Floto circus now combined with
Buffalo Bills Wild West Show rolls
into Ell Centre with the dawn for one
day engagement.
There IL be lots to see in the Sells
t'loto street parade, From the "blood
sweating behemoth - to the last clown
ear; from the tableaux floats to the
kangaroo den with the baby kanga
roos doing "Kellerman s. into theil
mothers poumches); from the blaring
bands to the hotting, footing calliopes
the parade will be offered to please
Every cage will be open, so that the
crowds along the curbs may have an
animated geological treat.
And the performance will be notable
in the number of well known families
and troupes on the big show roster
There are "Poodles Hanneford, the
greatest riding clown of all time and
the riding Hannefords; the Nelson's
flying return acts; four great troupes
of Chinese aerial sensations the Hod
gins, the Hobsons, riding acts; the
Hamido Madri Arabs, the La Pearls
the Steiners, the La Fieurs, the Otta-
wagas sensational stage and ring fea
lures: Berta Beeson, the ''Pavlowa OF
the high wire, - the Kremka troupe, the
Marinellis, the Harris, the Lindsays
the Luckeys the Hamiltons and Others
in novelty offerings and score of ami
NAL, aerial, riding acrobatic and gym
nastic displays, not forgetting Victoria
lovely aerial wire artistic.
The riding Hannefords, featured
among many notable acts with the
Sells Floto circus, are best known as
well as the highest salaried equestrians
in the world. For over II months they
appeared at the New York Hippo
drome, and not act offered in that
mammoth playhouse ever caused SC
much comment or contributed so poten-
TALLY to attracting the public. There
are many circus acts that are highly
meritorious, but which cannot be cred
tied with increasing the revenues of a
show. The Hanneford riding act is,
however, so unsuai that it becomes
the talk of the town. wherever it is
seen and is a distinct factor in helping
to crowd the big tents.
The Hannefords not only perform
all the equestrian feats accomplished
bv other clever riders but they also in
troduee feature stunts in their riding
that are entirely new to the circus.
With this, Poodles' Hanncford, the
irrepressible riding clown creates a
comedy element that is as original as
it is funny. Podoles' rides on, over,
under and back of horse, and his burl-
esque equestrianism gives merry con
trast to the often thrilling riding ex-
ploits of the other members of the fam
ilv. Then Hannefords viii surely be
one of the big hits of the Sells-Floto
circus when it exhibits here.

Mrs. j. l.. Brackeu, club leader of
iowa. asks these questions in Club
Woman, and answers them herself
with positive affirmative.
She saws that membership in a fed
Grated club is the biggest investment,
making the largest returns, for the
smallest outlay of money that she
knows about, and hundreds of clubwo-
men will agree with her.
The disposition to criticise and poke
fun AT women's clubs, is Il thing OF
the past, aud no modern community ex-
poets TO grow and prosper where its
women are not organized. The towns
of Imperial County all have live clubs
of women, federated with state, district
and county organizations, and every
one contributing lhNdtudDic ScfNice "
the community in which it works. The
home department Of the Farm Bureau
takes the place in a way of clubs, in
rural districts, although the work Of
this department is primarily education

designed to promote home life on the
farm and make of the members more
expert homa makers. But they study

other subjects whiah engage the atten-
tion Of federated clubs. And best of
all, they serve to promote a community
life that brings the women together in
a most delightful way, and affords op-
portunity for exchange of ideas and
social intercourse that is proving its
worth 70 the country.

Two Malay Natives Who Have Been Taken
from the Villages by Missionaries and
Clothed, and Are Being Educated

cidentally, the journey took us five weeks
and two days
1t was on the road to Malacca, the
"cursed town." that we were conducted
by two Malays to house occupied by
a nice old native. As soon as I crossed
the threshold became aware of a young
girl who was sitting on the raised plat
form which is used as a sleeping place.
At first glance l thought there was
something peculiar. about her. was soon
convinced of it, because she remained
silent, when, as a rule, Malay girls con-
ceive it their duty to welcome guests and
keep them in entertaining conversation.
She was quite a nice looking girl as
Malays go. / suppose she would be con-
sidered beauty among her own people,
but our ideas and theirs in this respect
are as far apart as the poles. What inn
pressed one almost disagreeably about
her was a curious air of detachment in
her bearing.
She saw, but not with an understand
ing eye. She was a physical presence
only; there was no sign of that divine
spark we call the soul. II was evident,
too, that she did not even know her own
native language. l was greatly interested
in her, and I began to ask the old man
some questions about her.
He was reticent at first, but at last he
told me what he could about her un-
canny career. When she was only six
years Of age she was stolen from home

them he simply disappears, and no mort
is heard of him. A mans misdeeds, II
they affect the natives, cost him dear.
Such a man would find it impossible
to bribe the people he has made his
enemies. His fate has been decided by
the natives themselves assembled in
solemn conclave. If he ignores their
warning punishment will surrey be meted
out to him.
remember one young man from the
home country who laughed at the warn
ings. He paid for his bravado with his
life. He had been collecting a special
tax, and had discovered that one old chief
had not been paying it for seven years.
He attempted to strike dishonorable
and he foolishly went over the score in
wreaking his vengeance. He got the usual
three warnings to quit, ignored them, and
disappeared.
His buried body, with spear pinning
it to the earth, was subsequently found,
and stone still stands to mark the spot
where the grim drama of insult and re-
venge was enacted.
have referred to Malacca as the
"cursed town." and strange story is told
about the laying on of the curse. 1t
seems that at one period in the history
of the town it was visited by wandering
priest from India, whom the people openly
despised, and whose message they refused
to hear.
They threatened to cast him from their
city, but the old priest vowed that he
would die in it. They put him on a ship
by force, but every time II set sail with
the holy man on board IL was driven back
to Malacca by adverse winds.
His vow was strangely fulfilled, for
he did die in the town, and on mis- death
bed he laid his curse upon IL, and told the
inhabitants that their city would never
prosper. That prophecy has come true
pretty much, because, whenever Malacca
has had the prospect of great prosperity,
il curiously has never materialized. The
collapse Of the great rubber boom Is just
one instance. ~
In modern days the old priest Is looked
upon as a saint by the natives. They
offer up their prayers at his tomb. II Is
said, too, that they believe his hair and
beard still grow, and twice year they GO
through the ceremony Of trimming them

Of Dahomey there were immense numbers
of gigantic gorillas. Burton found that
the gorillas were in the habit of periodi-
cally raiding the villages of the lowlands
and carrying away all the young women
and girls. The roaring and believing of
the gorillas as they rushed through the
villages in pursuit of their victims were
said by the great scholar to be very ter
rible.
The natives, men and women, were
completely panic-strickcn,> as they had no
adequate weapons with which to, defend
themselves against the man-like monsters.
1t is thought that the origin of the Da-
homeyan Amazon regiments may have
been the desire of the women to band to-
gether for protection against the gorillas.
know that these legends of the attrac-
ton of women for apes are discounten-
anced by modern naturalists. But recall
that when Du Chaillu made his remark
able discoveries about the gorilla, most
of the naturalists of his time asserted
that he had merely seen some chimpan-
gees, and not larger species Of ape.
After my own experience prefer to give
credence to the records Of the ages.
In telling Of my experiences I have
always found that the habits and Gus
toms of the natives invariably invoke
keen interest. Let me tell you of one
of their little ways which at first
thought to be very funny until learned
how serious it really was.
If you were going out there and in
time a native presented you with dog
you would take It as a token Of his
respect and regard for you. His inten-
ton is quite the contrary. In fact,
he would not give you a dog unless you
had seriously offended his kind. II is
his way of indicating that your room is
better than your company.
II the hint Us not taken, then he brings
along a second dog. A man who realizes
the real significance Of this very special
attention would immediately consider it
good for his health to depart quietly. II
he still fingers, third dog Is brought
along and presented in the presence Of a
second native this time.
The marked man has now only three
DAYS left in which to move on. II he
has not the good sense to make use of
