parade will start at lt:30 o'clock. '
Out of the dawn there came to town
yesterday morning, two grreat, creaking
Klaring trains of yellow and white and
red cars and with the arrival men
leaped from their places aboard the
"flats" almost before the grinding'
brake shoes had accomplished their air
pressure tasks: bosses shouted, horses
and "bulls' and draught stock thumped
and trundled down thfr long runways.
great, truckling wagons came down the
chutes from the cars, and almost with
their arrival upon solid ground, started
the long, hurrying journey to the "lot,"
a mile away.
Out of the dawn there came men and
women who piled out of the sleepers to
find the hotels that would be their
homes for three days. Out of the dawn
to rest and to work for the sleep that
Is anticipated in every large city, sleep
unhampered by the noise of grinding
car wheels and tooting engines. Out
of the dawn there came to town yester
day morning the SWls-Floto Circus and
Buffalo Bill for a "Sunday on the lot,"
find then, today and tomorrow, per
formances afternoon and evening on the
jrreat expanse of open territory at
Twenty-sixth and Raleigh streets.
From the indications at the lot yes
terday, it would seem that instead of
having doubled within a year, the
circus has trebled in size. Vast were
the tents In the past but now it seems
that they stretch on unending. Many
were the wagons of the circus of the
past, btit now they are everywhere, for
things have happened for the better to
the Sells-Floto Circus.
There has come the addition of Buf
falo Bill and everything that was good
out of the Wild West show (whlch he
carried to Europe and throughout the
United States for so many years.
While men were working out at the
lot yesterday, there drove through the
downtown streets a white - haired,
strong-bodied, pleasant-faced man, his
jereat arms straining against the pull
of a pair of spirited Arabian horses, his
footman sitting proud and erect behind
him. The Sunday morning strollers on
the streets turned and looked. They
lifted their hats. They cheered, and as
the white-haired man bowed to the
greetings which came to him from every
side, there passed' from person to per
son, a sort of magnetic sentence which
stopped interest in other things for
awhile, the message:
"There he goes that's Buffalo Bill!"
Colonel William Frederick Cody,
Buffalo Bill, was taking his weekly out
ing. He sought out a hotel and seized
an undersized, laughing man in his
arms. Marshall P. Wilder, the comedian.
Lo, Marsh!" he boomed. "Come on
and take a ride!"
The little man protested.
"I've got to go to work," he an
nounced. "My act's on at 4 o'clock.
"Then you get to the theater at 3,"
enme the booming voice of the Colonel.
"Think
"Righto!" came the laughing answer.
T'm on. Colonel, remember that time
when we were in Paris together and
we went Into a barber shop to get a
shave and the barber started to cut
off that long hair of yours? Roar? I
never did hear a man roar like you did.
"Who wouldn't roar?" boomed the
Colonel. "Think I'd spent tf lifetime
growing that hair just to have some
Parisian scissor artist cut It off? Now,
come on. I want to show you this
town."
For those who were not on the streets
yesterday, there will be an opportunity
this morning to see Buffalo Bill in his
spider, driving his Arabians, for this
morning when 10:30 o'clock comes, he
will lead the two-mile long street pa
rade of the Sells-Floto Circus as it
passes through the downtown streets.
It Is also promised that a sample of
almost everything in the circus will be
in that parade, from the two calliopes
to the 40 clowns.
Two performances are to be given to
day and tomorrow. The afternoon show
begins at 2:15 o'clock. The night per
formance comes at S:15.

rikeen, pastor, delivered the address
on the establishment of liberty in Nor

tution. He pointed out that Norway took
her place among the free nations of the
world then when every citizen was

amples of progress and true civiliza
tion. "The ' Norwegian people," said Rev.
Mr. Henriksen, "who have adopted the
United States, are among the best and
must loyal citizens. The percentage of
crime and corruptionamong the Nor
wegians is less than found among any
other nationality which has adopted
the United States as its home."

theran Church. of the Norwegian
Synod, and the United Norwegian Lu
theran Church in one body, an event
