The fid mission fee of 10. cents was cheerfully paid by a number of persons, who manifested a peculiarly strong - desire to see this very common and villainous-looking specimen of the animal kingdom. But the oddest part of the show to the bj'standers was that one visitor went in to ''tako another look at that wolf" no 1< ss than seven times during tlio afternoon. Tlio secret was at last revealed. After some unsuccessful attempts to start for home, lie approached the tent-door with an unsteady step, and handing his last-dime to the showman, hiccoughed. "T h-boliove I'll take just one more look at that wolf!"
