SHOW ATTRACTION.

" TOTO, THE PIGMY."

"Never was there an attraction at » show of such universal interest as Toto Unitene, the pigmy from Central Africa, whose habits and little song and dance hold his visitors with all the charm of the unique and unexpected," says the • Wellington "Post. "Surely never did such a deep voice come from so small a body, or so sweet a smile welcome a continuous stream of interested spectators, while the grip of the small brown fingers (and Toto likes shaking hands, especially with the ladies) shows that there is strength and health boneath his shiny skin. Chanting in his own language, or playing the gramophone, which he accompanies in what he fondly imagines is Englißh, Toto is one of the sights of the Show, which the attendances bear witness to. Clad in leopard skin, waving his tiny spears or bow, Toto seems happy. He will be a ?ich man as wealth is reckoned in his own country, and he will have a lot of fun bartering his herd of cows for fat, youthful wives when he returns to the forests and dons the poison bag on his left wrist once more, ready to anoint his deadly little arrows. Visitors at the Show should not miss seeing the tiny black, states the management.
