Its home and its origin are the Ok-

and feature is real, vital and char- 
acteristic. ‘The performers are not 
professionals, but men, won-en and 
children on a ‘‘lark’’ from the 101 
Ranch. Every name is known on the 
ranches of the Southwest for slull 
and daring avocations of the ratiz, >. 
Every champion of the lariat svarp- 
shooter, cowgirl, cowboy, tri¢k rider 
and other participant is permanently 
on the pay-roll of the 101 Raweh. 
Herds of gaunt, long-horned wes!ern 
steers and pure-blooded buffaloes 
are fantastic features. There are 
more than one hundred Indians, 
most of them fresh from the wig- 
wams of the tribes who have their 
liomes on the 101 Ranch Jand 
The 101 Ranch show is toda’ the 
only big, exclusively ‘‘Wild West’’ 
show in the world, and perpetuate, 
@ picturesque, romantic period . of 
American history surviving remote-

morning street parade is a moving, 
living narrative of the early West,

‘‘Saner Fourth’’ Measure Signed tw 
the Governor. 
The toy pistol, the blank cartridge 
and the dynamite firecracker are 
now things of the past in the cele-_ 
bration of the Fourth of July in 
Massachusetts. 
Governor Draper signed the bill 
to that effect the latter part of last 
week. : 
The measure had been in his hands 
for several days, but his signature 
was withheld until he was sure that 
it provided for a safe and sane 
Fourth. 
convinced him that there are no loop- 
holes. 
There are a number of highly — 
dangerous explosives enumerated by 
name, but the nub of the measure 
comes in the few simple words con- 
fining the kind of explosives that 
may figure in the small boy’s pro-. 
ce 
gram to ‘‘anything of a higher ex- 
plosive power than ordinary black 
geunpowder.”’ 
The blank eartridge, toy pistol, 
dynamite, nitro-glycerine and _ the 
picric acid crackers are eliminated — 
specifically, but it is further stipu-_ 
lated that no fire cracker can be sold, 
even when its explosive power is 
light, if it is longer than two inches 
or more than five-eighths of an inch 
in diameter. 
The law goes into effect immedi- 
ately and will probably affect a num- 
ber of dealers who have 
their fireworks for the Fourth.
