A Funny Man
Gillian who is to lecture under junior
normal school auspices Friday July
20tb tells his own stories many of
which as he says have been originated
by a good many peoplesmce he originated
them reads his own inimitable bits of
original verse that fairly reek with all
that is best in humanity and all that
is funniest in the world talks his own
monologues in the easy interesting
conversational style that makes the
audience forget it is being entertained
and eel that it is having a most delight
ful visit with a marvelous new found
friend who is as ludicrous as he is awk
ward and as wise as he is witty There
is no man on the platform today who
works more individuality into his public
appearances no other man so distinctly
himself or fascinatingly amusing When
he has had you laugh until there are
pains in your sides he turns on the
warmth of pathos to relax the cramps
and about the time you get ready to
scold him for being serious he solemnly
sends a shaft of unexpected absurdtiy
hurtling down the line and upsets you
so completely that you feel like scolding
him again for the suddenness of the
change He sticks so close to nature
that smiles and tears always the sun
shiny optimistic humanizing acheless
tears follow each other naturally and
easily like the emotions chase them
selves through the soul of a new born
babe His work is as clean as your ears
used to be on Sunday morning when
mother got through using that knitted
wash rag

iLL FEATURE CIRCUS
Many Novelties Are with the Great Adam
Forepaugh and Sells Bros Circus
When it comes to a family vote the
circus leads every other kind of enter
tainment and how it has grown in the
last few years This applies not only to
the size of the tents but to the general
tone and excellence of the things it of
fers The Great Adam Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers Enormous Shows United
are a vivid example of this truth It
has grown so big that four special trains
are required to haul it from place to
plaee The big circus tent is provided
with seating accommodations for ten
thousand people Three rings two
enormous stages and a hippodrome track
one quarter of a mile long with a forest
of overhead riggings are used for the
circus features Most of the acts are
new strange as this may sound and
have created sensational interest in
European countries There are more
than two hundred performers in the
revolving bill as many as ten acts going
on at one time Every second of time
counts in the two hours of the ring acts
In fact the frictionless movement of a
tremendous circus program like that
offered by Forepaugh and Sells Broth
ers is one of the very remarkable things
about the big shows and is calculated
to take some of the conceit out of the
average puffed up theater spectacle
stage manager The three herds of
performing elephants with these superior
shows are worth going to see They do
the most unnatural things with the
grace and precision of a trained acrobat
To see the bulky fellows poise them
selves on their beads evolve dancing
figures with regard of tune and chang
ing style and pantomimically enact the
broad humor of a farcical skit is a spec
tacle not soon forgotten and is wholly
unlike any other exhibition of the kind
before the public Captain Webbs
educated seals bring home the fact that i
these small headed beasts are the most
intelligent in all wild nature They
occupy the two great stages and take a
cue with the sympathetic of the most
fervent and cultivated artist They
play musical instruments balance and
tqss balls to each other and juggle
different objects with the most expert
human dexterity It is the most marve
lous exhibition of animal training in the
whole world Circus day will begin
with a street pageant starting from the
show grounds at ten oclock in the
morning This street display is the
most magnificent and munificent ever
organized It will be in many sections
each division separate in feature and
splendor and will be fully three miles
long The open animal cages great
herds of elephants and camels hun
dreds of high stepping horses gaily
gowned equestrians expert horsemen
tableau floats musical vehicles soldier
typesjuvenilo heroesf un making clowns
and so on and so on combine to make
this the most extravagant extensive and
entirely enjoyable pageant ever organiz
ed Will be here Saturday July 14th
