History of the Class of 1904 IND READER-If you have a few spare moments allow me to conduct you within yon- der pretentious portals. By the emblazoned signs and gaudy posters it is evident that X it is the entrance to a Dime Museum. And this is no cheap affair-O, no ! Witliiii is one of the most wonderful collections of freaks in the world-the class of 1904 of the Hill School. Dangerous, did you ask?

It is a cage, as you see, but be calm, the bars are strong. The terrifying shapes within are two Central African gorillas, nicknamed Flapper-face and Pincer-facef' Observe how they play together like the tiny II
