101 Ranch to Show Id G&ioesvillo
Miller Brothers’ tot Ranch Real
Wild West and Great Far East,
the largest show of its kind in the
world, comes to Gainesville Tburs
day, October 8, and it will present
in the principal streets before noon
that day, what is positively the
largest and most picturesque
parade in this or any other land.
Miller Brothers, owners of the
famous ioi Ranch at Marland.
Oklahoma, which contains nearly
150,000 acres, have a million a
year, each, to spend. This year
the seven figure income of the
ranch’s president, Colonel J. C.
Miller, has gone into the show’s
performances, parades and features
The ranch, as a company, paid for
the trains, the canvas, the wagons,
the tons of equipment. Miller
Brothers have added the Great Far
East #0 that gorgeous pageantry,
elephants camels, reckless riders
of the entire world and exotic
spectacles might make doubly sure
the show’s appeal as a thrilling,
beautiful and dazzling entertain¬
ment. A three-ring circus was
bought outright and merged with
the performance.
Of course, Colonel Miller and
his brothers, Zack and George,
wish the huge tsoupe to be a
mighty success, and they know
this cannot be unless it draws
tremendous crowds, so a stagger¬
ing array of features have been
added—world’s champion cowboys
and cowgirls ; Russian crack Cos¬
sack contingents; Mexican Rurales
South American vanqueros;
Chinese soldier banditti; Manchu
irregular horse; Hindu and Bur¬
mese troupes, crack Zouaves from
Fredch Indo-China ; Arabian tribes¬
men ahorse and Slayman Ali’s
‘■Bine Devil”; DeMott’sTurkestan
bareback troupes—in fact, any
startling novelty offering that Mil¬
ler Brothers’ agents, scouring the
world last year, deemed worthy of
importation for such a show.
Every famous chief and warrior
now living will be seen in the
arena and in the ttreet parade.

It is not known here how the
term ‘‘dough face” originated but
it is supposed that it started several
years ago when face powders were
very scarce and high priced and
whitening was unknown. The
people then used flour on their
faces for it was then only $2.50
per barrel but now they can have
enougli for the inside only. Whet)
they applied the flour on their faces
perspiration soon set in and made
it up hence the name dough face.

There was a man who had a son
who was very fond of strong drink.
So lie bought a barrel of the purest,

him to stay six hours. lie was

by the fluid and had his thirst
satisfied.
