The Wonderful sells show.

On Thursday, November q, at FermiiIinB.
vile, the surrounding country will have an
opportunity of witnessing what is uudoubt-
edly the largest. the best, the greatest aud
the purest show ON earth. Honest in its adj
yertising. it exhibits everything itadyertiscs.
Honest in the manner in which it is conduct,
ed, it is free from that obnoxious feature, the
ncaudy butcher" 1t is known the world over
as the most complete show in all It's branches
ever beheld The Geological collection em
braces every beast OF whicA luankind has any
knowledge. The Star Arenic exhibition, or
circus proper beats the world, and consists OF
200 star artists, giving Il wonderful exhibition
in four great circus rings. six acts at one aud
the same time, or q total of more than one
hundred acts, in QUO exhibition afternoon or
night.
What the Minneapolis Tribune Of June 10,
says regarding this wonderful show
1.-THE CIRcUs.--Sue crowd as rushed in
upon Sells Bros. last evening is rarely seen ut
circus, even in Minneapolis. Long before
the performance commenced it was necessa-
nv to close the doors--thera being from IL 900
to 10, 900 people packed ike sardines in d box
inside the tent. The performance was an ad
,nirable one throughout. James Robinson,
who has no equal as bareback rider, Frauk
Gardner aud Adelaide Codons all performed
admirable equestrian acts. Harry Long aud
Frank Gardner proved themselves most Won
derful tumbiers, the Puryis Sisters In q slack
wire and globe act were artistic, the Stlrk
family performed wonders with the bicycle,
and Maggie Claire was a most daring aerial
artist Each feature advertised was present
ed, and nothing was ndiherently performed
The Sells Bros. are justly entitled to the good
name they have won as honest and excellent
caterers to the patrons of the saw-dust arena,
'.We can say from onr own knowledge that
the wonderful SO cage managerie is the great
est geological collection on earth, including
all known quadfupeds, wild and wonderful,
ever classified In zoology. Including IN it's
vast entiretv the only living pair Of hippopo-
tamil ever beheld, and the only giraffes now
on exhibition anywhere. The completeness
Of the show as d whole il certainly unequaled.

THE OAK AND THE VINE.

A graceful oak, with branches broad aud bold,
Lived in forest, gray with years and dim,
And from its roots. with many circling fold,
A tender vine crept to its topmost limb,
And slyly nestled there. What could 1t mean,
Its tendrils toying with those locks OF
green-
Low at its feet the oak FIRST saw the vine,
Cronching for shelter from an April shower,
and when 1t reached around the heart TO
twine,
Itelasped and loved 1t more from hour to
hour;
Nearer and dearer with each rising sun,
Until the surplieed seasons made them one.
An Autumn evening, as the sun went down,
While thunder fingers swept the stormy
It's branches bent beneath The whirlwind's
irown,~
And touched the lightning dreadful tongue
of fire.
The storm passed on; the oak bowed its head,
For, looking down. 1t saw the vine was dead
In time its tendrils loosened, and the cold
Breath of November threw Its pallid spell
Der leaf and blossom, turning them to gold,
And TO the earth the vine, long, lifeless,
But winding round the oak the scars were
Fhenceforth, Of where the tender vine had
grown.
Thus In The path of life-no matter where
In castle or In cottage, we will find
Strong men who in their hearts will always
bear
The cureless wound OF where some vine has
twined.
IL there beyond, where endless daylight
A balm for earthly wound, and heart that
aches? r. ". Ddg9en

If Senator Payne of Ohio lives to
take his seat, next March, he will not
be the oldest member of Congress,
providing Senator Morrill,, of Vermont
lives until that time. Senator Morrill,
was born in April, 1910, and Payne in
November OF the same year. There
are a number of old men in Congress
and they are not the least valuable
members either. General Rosecrans
65, Senator Lapham 70, ex-senator
Eaton 68, Representative Waite of
Connecticut 72, Senator Salisbury
Of Delaware 81, are among the Nestors.
In all there are nearly thirty members
who were born previous to 1920, and
many Of them are among the hardest
working, and most useful gentlemen
at the Capitol,
