In their large booth (formed by the display of corn and various other things) they have a small " theatre ", so- called, in which they put on a screen moving stereopticon pictures, that attract immense crowds. ? The pictures illus- trate various agricultural scenes, such as making and stacking hay, rounding up and branding cattle, etc. And everything is in motion, even the attempted riding of a bucking broncho pony. It is all done to advertise Nebraska, and surely succeeds admirably. It was the only time we ever saw Dr. Miller in a " theatre "! But as his good wife was along, we didn't worry any about him 1 But we think it was no worse than walking down into the Grand Canyon and up again on Sunday, and A. I.

Attempts at them are too frequent to expect anything approaching perfection or real satisfaction in that line. His "Honey
