The pleasant country home was beautifully decorated, and everything up-to-date. After the ceremony had ben performed, the invited guests, about sixty in numbers, most of whom were from this city, sat down to a table that was fairly groaning under a load of choice viands and the delacacies of the season, and to which ample justice was done.

Co. Mephisto, the High Priced Feature With the Robi-son Shows. AT WICHITA SEPTEMBER 8. Mephisto's great circling loop act with John Robison's Show's, demonstrates the fact that the man who works the longest does not get the most money. His actual wTork covers twelve seconds a day, six seconds at each performance.

For this work of twelve seconds he receives sixteen dollars. The law of supply and demand is responsible for this one act. Public interest is appeased by its performance and John Robison pays the bill. -This "Riding the Loop" is a marvelous performance, daring in the extreme and nothing like it has ever before been conceived and executed. Seated in an automobile on a little perch at the dome of the arena this dare-devil performer shoots down a narrow incline at a terific speed.

The great momentum sends the auto up into and around the barrel-shaped loop like a flash, and as he shoots around this cylinder, his head hanging downward, while the automobile obeying the law of centrifugal force, clings to ths sufaca. The reserve speed carries him into the arena from the tangent of nis curved course, where bowing and smiling, the audience after a short breath holding spell, applauds this intrepid and skilled artist to the echo, thrilled by the dering nerve of this marvelous performer.
