Here is the story: An old Indian, .a medicine man, was noted for nla miraculous cures. A tourist presented the old warrior with an old silk bat The "big smoke" always wore tbe bat. and during Its many years of service the tribe knew nothing but good lurk. One day a gust of wind took the old silk "Kelly" and deposited It upon tbe bosom of the raging ('-) Saskatchewan. From that day on bad luck befell the tribe. The management of the World at Home Shows certainly wish that every man, woman and child In that bnrg was the possessor of an enchanted silk "HI Henry." They need something, for the bun; Is certainly on the "blink." To make matters 'Worse old J.

' This agent deposited this big exhibition down lu this Impossible place for three days. It Is a mighty good thing for all concerned that the "bank roll" Is healthy and ample, for unless I miss my guess, we will tap It considerably. The Lord loves a cheerful giver.

Akron, C, July 15. — The Con T. -Kennedv Sbows are enjoying a very good week here, ami, like Toledo, where they played last week, the attendance has been excellent and the patronage of the different sbows is good. This is the first time the Kennedy Shows have been here, and the natives have taken to it like a duck to water, as it Is far and away better than anything that has ever played this busy town before. Promoter R. C.

HARRT COPPING SHOWS. The Harrr Copping Shows were In Plttsbargb laqt week, about ten blocks away from where the Arena Amusement Company was playing. Business was fair. The outfit is not in very good .trim, things seemingly having bopn thrown together. Those connected report business as havlDC been fair so far this season, but are in hopes of finlah- ing big before the carnival season Is over. Sev- eral mediocre sbows are carried, and as a whole those connected do not seem to be giving the proper care to tbelr outfits, and it should oe re- membered that cleanliness -will do much to get business, as they do aay that it Is next to God- Uncs!. ■ fVITH THE 'WOBIiD AT DOME.
