MEDFIRD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, aLVRCII 5, 1911. PAQEJTIVE -7 rrrr V y iu. hf r t It TRAINING HERE Smallest Circus in World Prepares ..for Summer Engagement at "Nat" Owner Seeks Three Inch Space Wherein to Place "Ring." il , The smallest circus-in tjie vfprld.i in training quarters in Medfotd, an- its hundreds of jiniinnl.s are now be '"iff put through1 f'lieir'.'iiaoeV'rend.x J (or u summer engagement at the Nn ta'torium. f any of the beasts es cape, there will be great oxcitemen' around town and a general hunt in stituted that will only end with th- UIM SHOW IS death of the animal. The owner ol the eireus hope to be able to obtan about three inches as n show vine That is all he needs for his perfor mers are flciia not the common ev ery day product, hut genuine, higu salaried artists. Fleas at this time of the year a.v somewhat out of season. The sum mer is when they are nt their best peek-a-boo waists and open work stockings ofering but slight resis tance. To a reporter who interviewed hiu Inst night, Mr. Alonzo Sloan, the showman was somewhat reticent. II preferred Mo talk "Medford" which lie said"impre..scd him as bein "some town." "Although I ha.ve some (wo hun dred fleas" he said at last, "they an? of course, not nil stars, some of their being only understudies taking then first lessons in the dramatic art. IV perfect a flea performer takes a ver long time as first he must ho brokei of jumping, a habit which they all unfortunately, inherit. This is accomplished by placing r loop of the finest gold wire about their necks, the idea being to him '. him so weighted down at the front end that, when he tries to spring he merely turns a hand-flip. T break a flea of jumping takes about fifteen months. The flens I use, aiv the German, or human, flens. Tlieii average life is about 20 years anf they are so strictly "human" that no amount of persuasion will induce one to eat dog. They multiply verj rapidly, but I never can gather up the courage to kill them, so, when they look like they are .going to be come excess baggage, 1 just turn a t'ow thousand loose wherever 1 hap pen to be. "In my show the star attraction" is the hailet. This consists of twentv five specially selected animals who dance Oriental dances in perfect unison and accord. It .takes about an hour and a half to dress the fleas for this act in the morning so we leave them dressed all day. They are dressed by means of a microscope and a pair of tweezers."

WASHINGTON, 1). (.'., Meh. !. A levievv of the last ac .ion of tho (JlM. congress, which terminated to day, sho(vs that the house has enact ed an unusually largo number of bills of public importance.

Among the measures the house passed was a bill by llobson (demo crat, Alabama,) to prevent disclo sure of secrets of the national de fense. In the senate speeches largely took the plaee of legislation. The Lo ri mer case, the resolution for direct election of senator-, and the reci procity agreement, furnishing good fuel for oratorical revels.
