When children laugh all are
pleased. Well and wisely acting
up this axiom, the management of
the grand united Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers' shows, which are
to give afternoon and evening per-
formances at Gainesville on Mon
day, November 15, have made
such generous and commendable
provision for special amusement
of the little folks that they may
be fairly credited wiih having
added a Cbildreu's Day to recrea-
tion's calendar. The gra^d arena
of the great hippodrome, the four
rings and the two stages, are con
verted into a huge arenic play-
ground, filled with fascinating
spectacles Mother Goose pa
geants, and fairyland realizations
Here also are Introduced the
hugest fun-makers, in the shape
of merry-andrew elephants. Capt.
Woodward's only school of edu
cated Alaska sea lions and seals
fairly set the youngsters wild
with delighted wonder. Then
there are ludicrously talent-
ed pigs, tialned pigeons, pretty
and sagacious ponies, clown bears,
balancing goa's, unridable don-
keys, monkey jockeys, wondertnl
dog artists and whole troupes and
families of the most delightful,
quaint, qneerand comical two and
four legged originals. It is all
healthful and harmless recieation,
too, calculated to make happier,
brighter and better boys and
girls.

to tell the true value of good
meat. By good meat we mean
something better than simply
fresh meat. We mean the kind
that makes blood, builds bone and
muscle and touches the hungry
spot. That's the kind of meat we
have to sell you six days every
week.
You can certainly find some-
thing to satisfy the appetite in the
following variety, which we have
in market today:
Choice Beef, Mutton,

A Boston lady stood on the dork of
the little Lump nosed OcklawnLa ste.:m-
er in Florida, notebook and lorgnette in

darky roustabout.
"Is the alligator amphibious?" was
one of her questions.
The darky scratched his head. He
was a bit puzzled, as there had been
more corn pone than dictionary in his
bringing up, but his quick wit and
natural logic did not desert him as he
replied:
'' I reckon he am, miss'. He done bite

Striking I.ffcct of Climate.
Occasionally u;i eloquent testimonial
to tlio virtms cf a "health resort" fails
to lind a place in the printed matter
sent out by the hotel keepers or others
interested in the prosperity of the place.
A railway president who bad gone to
one of the summer resorts of the north-
west to spend a few weeks was sitting
on the veranda of a hotel enjoying the
lake scenery and his cigar when he
was accosted by a resident " boomer"
with the remark:
"You'll find the air here full of or.one,
sir. You'll sleep like a log Before yon
have been here a week you will gain
ten pounds or I miss my guess, and
I'm generally right."
"I don't doubt it," replied the rail-
way magnate. "1 gained eight pounds
the very first day."
"That beats the record," said the
'boomer,' slightly dazed, hut recover-
ing himself promptly, "though I've
known instances almost equal to it."
"Yes," rejoined the other, "eight
pounds. I weighed myself on a nickel
in the slot machine at the railway sta-
tion when I landed here, and the in-
dicator pointed to 157. An hour later
I stepped on the same kind of machine
at the hotel, and the figure was 105.
Gain of eight pounds in 60 minutes,
eir, and I hadn't eaten a bite. Hadn't
done anything but breathe this wonder-
ful air. Never saw anything like it.
Marvelous climate, sir—simply marvel-
ous. And all it cost me was 10 cent*."
