L1FEII1 HEALTH SOAP Removes make-up EASILY The Young Buffalo Wild West and Colonel Cummins' Far Bart closed a successful teuon at nooncTlllc, Mo., Saturday, Oct 6. After teeing to It that the paraphernalia of this aggregation was itored away at Peoria, 111., Colonel Cummins, with Col. Ver- non C. Bearer, arrived In Chicago Wednesday morning, 9. In an Interview with, the Western repre- sentative of Tub Nbw York Clifpds, Colonel Cummins said: "The season of 1012 has been an eminently pleasant one, and It Is grati- fying to record that our show has made con- siderable money. My relation! with Colonel Heaver have been moat enjoyable. He has the faculty of surrounding himself with able and loyal lieutenants, and, not to divulge secrets, I am frank to say that we have In mind several novel features for next season, the like of which have not been teen with a Wild West aggregation Id this country." As to his plans for the Winter months, Colonel Cummins said: "I am leaving to- morrow on the Twentieth Century Limited, for Mew York, where I wilt confer, by ap- pointment, with Antonio Publllones, with reference to supplying htm with a large as- sortment of animals for the Publllones Clrco, for the Winter engagement In Cuba. It may Interest you to know I have concluded ar- rangements with Sullivan k Consldine fortho presentation of the Waltcs champion Au- stralian whip manipulators, for a tour of the S. as C.

These acta are under my control for three years, snd will be kept Intact for the 1013 tour of the Young Buffalo Wild West and Col. Cummins Far Blast. Should I effect arrange- ments with Mr. Publllones for Wild West features. It will be the first time that Ameri- can Indians will be exhibited la Havana and on the 'Pearl of the Antilles."

The week ending Sept. 28 will long be re- membered by every one connected with the John II. Sparks Shows, not only by reason of the record breaking business, but through the long series of Incidents and happenings that kept everyone keyed up to the highest possible pitch. Through It all th* general- ship and thorough showmanship of Manager Chris. Sparks was every minute In evidence, and he was able to successfully cope with every obstacle, and hla Indomitable energy and perseverance accomplished seemingly th.e Impossible. Every man with the show was with bun, and now that It Is all over, and It la plain sailing again, who cares for what happened as long as the ebow moved. But to begin at the beginning. Through the ef- forts of the business men of Mt. Aire snd prominent officials of K»» Southern road, the powers that be In Washington consented to haul the Sparks Showa over the mountain branches running out of Greensboro and Wlnston-Ralem, N. C, to Mt. Aire and Wllkeiboro, In the very heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The show was the first to visit the towns In years, and It was an event second only to the opening of the branches and the advent of the first trains. The run to ML Aire was successfully accomplished, thank* to the watchfulnesa of Captain Dufan, the popular superintendent of the Winston-Salem Di- vision, who was with the train throughout the entire trip, it started to rain Sunday morning, and as there bad been no downfall in the region since last May, It made up for lost time, and a veritable cloudburst raged all Sunday and Monday, transforming the show grounds Into a muddy lake. At one time It looked like no show, but the natives came for twenty miles In the storm, some arriving Sunday night and camping out neat the lot It was estimated that 8,000 strangers were in the little town on Monday, and In-' creased by the 2,B0O residents, the streets took on the appearance of a little city.

The show packed the tent at both shows, given with only hslf an hour's Intermission. Thursday's stand wsa BUrlna. and a ten o'clock parade diew a mob to the lot. Three showa were contemplated, but two were given, to tremendous business, especially In the afternoon. A wreck on the road three mllos from Blklna tied the show np till 9.80 Friday morning, and, with a seventy-five mile Jump to make. It looked like no show at Coolomee. Here was a town of 2,000 people, two mllo* up a branch, that had never bad a circus, and, being only sixteen miles from Salisbury, the Winter boms of the show, everyone knew the show and turned out It Is esti- mated that more than four hundred farm rigs were In town at noon, hut as the train did not get to the Junction till 6 r. m„ most of the farmers went home. It was decided to risk sending up the flats over- tho branch, but the stocks and sleepers were left at tho Junction. The town people almost demanded a show, donated enothor lot nearer town, and waited patiently till the doors opened. The side show and s two-pole big top were put up. Everybody pitched In and helped, and despite the two mile haul, the big show was started at 8.80, and the concert finished at 10 o clock. More than 1,000 persons squected Into the top nnd applauded the show. It was smooth sailing to Mooreavllle, Saturday, and another day's good business. Sunday Manager Sparks slept Tate, and so did about everybody else. "Never again," be said, "will I take the chances I did last week." But. to sum It all up the ends Justified the meant, and the Sparks Show proved Its ability to cope with nil emergencies. Last Sunday saw a pilgrimage of the big show performers to Salisbury. Among those who renewed old acquaintances there wcro Bert Mayo and wife, Thomas Patrick Oor man, Bert Andrews, Frits Brunner, Thomas Jacobs and others. A number of Salisbury ale were vlstors at Btatesvllle and Lcx- >n. The city officials of Salisbury have extended the water system to the fair grounds, tilling a long felt want and making is grounds now an Ideal location for Win- ter quarters. Equestrian Director Bert Mayo received the aad news a short time ago of the death of his father. Mr. Mayo was an animal trainer of note, and at one time the pro- prietor of a wagon show. Tit had been as- sociated with nearly all of the old time shows, and spent last Winter In Salisbury breaking In stock. The Crandalls, riders, late of the Campbell Bros.' Shows, are recent arrivals, and were welcomed home by the bunch. Bed and his wife were with the show last season and Jim Jacobs, the u »™*:*™*l£' ?°"? 0,t, ,t made many friends.

About sixty members of the Elks, from the Elks' National Home, at Bedford City, Va., were highly entertained by the Downle & Wheeler Shows, Oct 4.

Downle & Wheeler and their wives, and Manager John V. Stowe and wife visited tbe Home after the afternoon show, together with a number of other Elks, members of the show. Mr. Stowe and Mr. Wheeler made a few remarka to the members of the Home.
