ilmisly guarded as a national secret for over two thousand years, a lull exposition of the art of Jiu-jitsu— the 

 and mysterious physical science in the whole world — will be given to the American public. 



Jiu-Jitsu embraces a system of physical training which, without artificial means, developes every 

 muscle and tissue and strengthens every organ in the human body. '1 he Japanese, though small of 

 stature, possess the most perfect physical development of any nationality, and attribute their wonder- 

 ful strength and power of endurance solely to the practice of Jiu-Jitsu. 



As a means of self-defence, Jiu-Jitsu is as potent at shnrt range as the most deadly weapon. A 

 knowledge of its self-preserving principles makes the timid man bold, courageous, and self-reliant. 

 There are over three hundred methods of weaponless warfare known to the art, any one of which will 

 enable a man of average strength to dispose of the most formidable antagonist with an ease and rapidity 

 which is astonishing. 



When once a person skilled in the art effects one of the Jiu-Jitsu "holds" it is utterly useless for 

 an opponent to offer resistance. It makes no difference how unequally matched in point of size or 

 strength the contestants may be, a knowledge of Jiu-Jitsu will enable a child of fourteen years to over- 

 come and render powerless a man of thrice his strength. 



FIRST LESSON SENT FREE 



Mr. Y. K. Yabe, who has been the most successful teacher of the art in all Japan, has been delegated 

 to give instruction in Jiu-Jitsu to Americans by correspondence. He hasjust written an intensely 

 interesting book which explains the principles of this wonderful system and describes the evolution of 

 Jiu-Jitsu during the past two thousand years. So long as the edition lasts, this bonk together with the 

 first lesson in the art, will be sent free to interested persons. The lesson is fully illustrated with full- 

 page half-tone engravings, and teaches one of the most effective methods known U Jiu-Jitsu for dis- 

 posing ofa dangerous antagonist. 



If you want to learn all the closely guarded secrets of this marvelous science which for centuries 

 past have been locked in the breasts of the Sainuiaii. if you would know how to defend yourself against 

 any form of vicious attack and render helpless your assailant, you should write for this free book and 

 specimen lesson to-day. It will be sent post paid by return mail. Address

PROCTOR'S NEW BILLS. 

 The announcements from the Proctor the- 

 atres are rich in their promise of good 

 vaudeville. Practically all the new acts 

 presented in vaudeville are first seen at the 

 Proctor houses, and the new offerings of 

 the past few weeks have been more than 

 ordinarily successful, including Amy Stone, 

 in a Pinero sketch ; Gustave Kerker's de- 

 lightful travesty, "Very Grand Opera," and 

 other important features. In 2 weeks George 

 Primrose, Will West and the Foley boys 

 make their final vaudeville appearances 

 before heading the minstrel company bear- 

 ing the Primrose name, to be put out in 

 December. Another important offering is 

 the new scena, "Sanka Bamba," which will 

 feature J. Francis Dooley and 12 show 

 girls. The book is by Randolph C. Lewis 

 and Edward McWade, and special music 

 has been written by v Harry Kern, composer 

 of the music of "Mr. Wix of Wickham." 



While a photographer was about to take 

 a photograph some time ago of some dogs 

 at a residence, he had occasion to .go to the 

 rear of the house. When he returned he 

 could not find the bulb and rubber of his 

 camera. Finally he located the bulb stick- 

 ing out of a goat's mouth and found that 

 the animal had swallowed the hose. He 

 pulled it from the goat's mouth, found the 

 material was in good condition and suc- 

 ceeded in making the photograph. — The 

 Photographer. 



"How long have you been out of work, 

 my good man?" asked the head of the 

 household as he parleyed with the rusty- 

 looking caller.
