Under existing law any national bank can,

with the treasury, withdraw the bonds held az

An Iowa lawyer made bold stroke to
remove great public evil, but, sad to
relate, he scored most lamentable fail
ure. For several years he had noted the
increase in exaggeration on the face of
circus posters and the decrease of lneri-
torious features in the ring, until his
heart became heavy, and he grieved
sorely over the deceit of his fellow men.
He loved truth, despite his much abused
calling, and this love induced him to
attempt a reform in circus management.
When the last circus visited the town in
which he resides, he had, from its adj
vanced posters, made a careful list of
every bird, beast and arenic feature adj
vcrtised, and when he attended the ex-
hibition he checked off what was actual
ly exhibited To his surprise and indig-
nation, he found that not one-half the at
fractions were checked from his list, and
he at once fastened INTO the courts and
sued the manager of the show for not
showing al he promised. But he recov-
cred nothing. The court decided that
no circus ever did give all it advertised,
and if O man was so fresh as to expect it
he deserved to lose his money.
