CIRCUS IS COMING

Here he is-Josephs, tho Welshman. who explores the far corners Of the earth in order that Sels-Floto circus may have the pick of wild animal specimens for exhibition and training, although this year his orders were to secure only beats fitted for higher arena education. He did just that, and the Sclls-l'loto lion, tiger. leopard. polar bear, grizzly and puma acts show that he did his work well.
 Josophs is a mighty interesting talker, and he has much 10 talk about. He headed caravan of 75 camels in 2 trek across 500 miles of desert last fall. and he had cXpcri- cnccs. A delayed steamer on route to Straits settlements saved him from paying 5000 pounds for a huge ba- boon, for the beast took sick the last cay before the boat anchored at it's port. It was the most wonderful ba- boon in the world, but it died two hours after Josephs landed.
