Harte’s great book and needless to
say these followers of Harte will want

It is doubtful If among the many
hundreds of stars, mere actors and
would-be-actors in studios today, that
one could be found that would better
fit the manly role of John Oakhurst,
the honest gambler in "The Outcasts
of Poker Flat" than Harry Carey.
This efficient actor by leaps and
bounds has come to top a virile ca-
pable star, and now he lias the tig
role of ills career and no one can
gainsay, after viewing his portrayal
in a single act. In other words—six
times as many of the big-earned giants
than have ever before been seen in
one main-tent exhibition. All else to
be seen is in proportion. The arenie
stars embrace all the world’s fore-
most circus performers. There ate
three hours of novelties and big sen-
sational acts. The menagerie is far
an 1 away the most colossal ever
traveled. For Instance—a herd of
right giraffes are exhibited In place of
the two or three shown in the past.

The consolidation of the “World’s
Greatest Shows” and the "Greatest
Show on Earth” in one circus of co-
lossal size, constitutes the amusement
surprise of the country. Nothing to
approach this gigantic, new circus has
ever before toured America, it has
been formed by merging the pick and
the cream of all that was biggest and
best in the two famous shows, It, produced in America,
would be folly to attempt to enumer- hundreds

Barr, Acord. Wilburn and Harmon,
have Just returned from a trip down
the Bernard to the Gulf in Mr Aubin's
boat on a tour of inspection which
took them to Freeport and along the
Gulf Coast for several miles.
The wrecked condition of the coun-
try shows that that particular part
of the Gulf Coast suffered from the
greatest tidal wave in Its history. The
water stood 2 1-2 feet in the Decroa
home on the beach and covered the
country that deep up to the Aubin
home several miles inland.
At the Allen farm 115 head of cat-
tle were drowned in one pen. The
drift wood in places is piled 8 feet
deep. The Deeros lost 75 mares and
colts, their entire herd They and
the McNeils so far as known lost 60
head of cattle.
Water was discovered Io be coming
in at the Duncan home at 2 a. m. The
I family waded, swam and fought their
| way to safety to the Aubin und Poole
ranch houses, about 3-4 of a mile
At the mouth of the river the De-
[ i ros home and the hotel are the only
| bouses left standing, and the beach Is
j clear of all drift.
The party met Messrs. Joel Bryan
und Steve Perry who lost many head
of cattle. They told them that Ve-
lasco was entirely under water Al)
bridges are out and the cattle appear
to be perishing for water.
The government bridge over the In-
tercoastal Canal was lifted bodily
from its piers and set down near the
ranch house several miles
