with the first sweet dawn of morning
Came . sunbeam fair and height,
Touching everything IL glanced at
With q soft and mellow light.
Then I watched that lovely sunbeam
AS IL took Its silent way.
Through the meadows sweet with clover,
Past tie reapers making hay.
Saw 1t kiss the golden lily,
Make the roses redder glow,
Stoop TO greet the dainty violet,
Through the long grass gIinting go
And that lovely sunbeam. casting
Every shadow far away.
Filling with its rosy brightness
All the places where they lay.
Taught its own sweet lesson truly;
When the heart is filled with care,
If We open wide its windows,
And let the sun shine there
Though It may not lift the sorrow-
Nav not take away the care

And easier to bear.

WHO WRITES "A WIFE WANTED"
You want q wife
To cheer your life,
And do not care for beauty,
But seek TO find
One quite resigned
To the routine of dutyy
There are some girls,
Made up of curls
And blue eyes softly beaming,
Whose blushing checks
Each lover seeks,
Who pass their life in dreaming.
They read romance,
Sing, flirt, and dance,
With other useless graces,
Trife all day
Their life away,
And never find their places.
But one | know,
oh, suffering beau!
Nor beauty, flirt, nor dancer,
Who could impart
A loving heart,
Ii yours, In turn, would answer
Who is never shrew,
Can bake, and brew,
And buttons keep in order
But say, what have you
To offer her-too;
Say, how you in turn can reward her
Are you faithful, and true,
AS she would be, too,
To-, I,
Not to drink, nor to swear,
Nor to act like bear,
When payday of bills came around
Will you cut no mad capers,
But read her the "papers,"
And act as gentleman should?
If SO, write again
In Il lover-like strain
And perhaps-why them would?

Eorepaugh's SHOW.

rOFGPdOkU . 0UOWs 9E
The Omaha Herald has the follow
ing good words to say of the great
Forepaugh show:
Forepaugh's Circus and Menagerie
entered Omaha yesterday morning
before daylight, in the huge special
trains in which this mammoth organi-
zation makes it's way from point to
point in the country. Thirty-four
cars, each forty-two feet in length
including two sleeping cars for the
benefit of performers--are required
to do this work. With the wonder
full celebrity, which is part of the
circusman's bushes, the miniature
city went up as if by magic, the point
selected being Dodge street, south
west of the high school building
Crowds poured into the city from the
surrounding country, and when,
shortly after s o'clock, the street pa
rade began, the streets were full Of
people.
The street parade was novel and
interesting. The cages sustained Mr..
Forepaugh's old reputation for put
ting out only the best in the business.
One lion appeared unfastened upon
the top of his cage, in care of his
keeper, while another keeper was in
a cage containing half dozen lions
and tigers, the various partitions be-
ing removed. The procession was
headed by an excellent band, riding
in a splendid chariot. Altogether
the street pageant was superb. The
cages, carriages. elephants, camels,
mounted horsemen and drivers,
spread out until it seemed as if the
great show would never pass.
Yesterday afternoon and last even
ing the great tents contained thou
sands of people. Nearly every sitting
space in the vast enclosure had it's
occupant. The menagerie was found
to contain a superb and by all means
the rarest collection that was ever
brought to Omaha. Most important
Of these was the hippopotamus, rhi-
noccros and sea lions, although the
lions, tigers, leopards. African an
telopes etc, POSSESSED a large degree
of interest.
Interesting as were the features.al-
ready mentioned, it is only justice to
the great showman-who in this line is
entitled to more than equal rank with
Barnun-to say that the ring per-
formances are without question the
best ever seen in Omaha. Nothing
was stale, hackneyed and WORKOUT,
but all was FRESH and original. Mel
vile and buttons bareback riding
and Mademoiselle Burdeau's eques-
tricnne performances; Hawley and
Forepaugh on the trapeze, with the
latter's wonderful leap through the
air; Addie Forepaugh, DR., with his
herd of five performing elephants !;
the clowns with Tom Barry at their
head; "Mahomet," the traded horse
Louise Boshcll, on the telegraph wire,
were but few of the attracti ms.
