To see the performnnce offered by the Great Wallace Shows is to see the best artl*t? In the ! circus profession that money can secure or | lone years of experience suggest. Is the unl1 versal verdict of Ihose who have been enabled \ I to visit this popular place of amusement during the past dozen years. And this year, the fourteenth successful season, the claim Is set | up that all previous records are overshadowed e I and a program of high-class novelties Is of- t' j fered that outclasses all competitors. Better |< 1 yet, this fact seems to be founded on absolute t [facts, as the press notices In every city In- d | eluded In this year's tour thus far have been t I lavish In their praises. Indeed the universal g I verdict has been "the best circus yet sepn a i here." and when the tremendous strides In F ; this branch of the amusement business dur- s ing recent years is considered, this is exeep- u tionally strong language. "The proof of the |1 | puddiug is In the eating thereot," Is a trite j p ! saying, and the people of thW> city and vicinity will have an opportnnlty to test the worth j e i of the Wallace Shows In the near future.

His paw was banging carelessly out of a ne cage. ioe visitor, in a spiruoi coruiauiy, rasped the proffered band ilke acnndldnte t an old settleis' meeting. Ben, who is the Jeau Brornrael of the menagerie, is an exclu- t.( ive fellow, and he did not appreciate such h inBeernly advances. Mr. Man had not been V ntroduced and was regarded as a decidedly fi iresumptuous individual. It Ben rebuked him by reaching out and gath- v irlng In his back hair; he swat him in the :i tack of the neck and delineated thereon a T allroad map. He stabbed holes in htm and o lid various other pleasantries peculiar to a H iger. When the man was rescued he remem- T >ered that something had happened. He c bund himsell arrayed in a pair ol shoes,a T lecktie and several streaks of gore, but not a ? hing else. It took a surgeon to sew the rem- r< laots together.
