NOBLE RED MEN IN WANT ATTRACTIONS OF THE STREET FAKIRS Their Purses Are Empty and Gaunt Hunger Oppresses Them--The Merry-Go-Round Has Undone "Spotted Bear," "No-Neck," and Others--Seductive Peanut Stands and the Plaintive Barrel Organs Lure "Many Knives" to Financial Ruin--"Blistered Heel's Penchant for Posies.
