Mi?< A. II. l*\ tor vV: ("?>. had the'1

worthy of an admission fee. Ilcuuliful (

effect as to overwhelm you with the
{to genus display of deleeate shapes and
(Iaz'.ling colors. Tiiev nearly always
h ve .'oiucthing new ami unique too. :
This I illicit was the dolls in the May pole
scene. Thev were very pretty, dancing
i "oun i 111'" M iv pole, and each one t its I ("

I>:? 1 you ever hear of a lire l?e- (j

genuine, blaze and coal lire, thai was not b
burning for exhibition or in order to Ik*
put out, but was burning because it
ouldn't help it, and was actually coiisum- p

There was a m ill here tliis wcekoffer!

evidently lielicved that his own extin- .

it out. \
Now that place has lately lteeii the resort
of so many catch-jM'iiny contrivances
dime shows, and patent medicine exhibitions,
that its hard to get a crowd down
there, lhit somehow it got out that it |
was to 1 Mayor Kant's show. Of ]
oiirso Mr. Kant had nothing to do with
it. hut that word was passed around, and >o
jrcat is the popularity of our Mayor, that
the people jlisc I locked to the spot to See
til *show. When we got near the place
WC could see a barrel above the heads of
the jieople and elbowing through the crowd '
we made our way to the center of attraet
on.
It was a little mm with a long can.
a bucket, of water an 1 sono bittles.
There he was, the sole possessor of his ,
secret, preparing to put out the lire which
he would presently build. Alter working
on his machine long enough for a
