read Shows.

Next to the Presidential Election,
the greatest occurrence among the
people OF this section this yesr
win be the advent OF S. II. Barrett
& Co.'s Great Show, which will
exhibit at Mexico, on June 2lst.
This monster organization, the fame
Of which extends over two hemi-
spheres, comes to US with the highest
ene,miums favorably given from sill
quarters. We can safely say oursel-
yes that the man or woman who misses
this opportunity of seeing the great
est show in the world (that is what i,
is) will not have our sympathy if the
miss was intentional, because SYM
pathy will be needed and much vain
regret will be in order-after the
shttw has goae-by those who did
not see it.
A few of the important features of
the many hundred new ones added
this year are worth reeapitulating.
Messrs. S. III. Barrett & Co., bring
this year, in connection with the
wonders of last season, a monster
manatee, or sea COW, captured by an
exploring and fishing party off the
coast Of Florida, in American waters.
This strange member of the smphibia
is the only one living in captivity in
the world to-day, and, in fact, the
second one ever captured, the first
having died while ON exhibition in
Philadelphia at the International
Exposition of 1916. This great
show has the largest living elephant
in the world (Xerxes), very noun
tain of flesh. 1t brings Mensgeris
OF 100 dens and cages of living wild
animals. Its ring performances, with
an all-star list of l50 of the greatest
names nown to the profession. Its
Deep Sea Aquarium is filled with
monsters Of the gray old ocean. Mus
cum has wonders from all parts oi
the world too numerous and strange
to be listed and, i'm word, il is
all say it ls-the greatest show IN tht
world.

Of Wincester, Ill.,, the best amateur
club in the central part of the State.
He made more runs during the sea-
son than any player on the nine.
He plays center field for the
browns. His fielding is excellent,
and so far this season has net muffed
a fly. In the two games with the
"Chicago Reserves" he tielasd sew
en- "sky scrapers. Since he has
been playing with the "Browns" he
has never had strike called on him,
and has made hit every time be
went to bat. He is also one of the

and right fielder of the Browns"
was born in Cleveland, Ohio, Feb,
l, '64. He is 5 feet 8 inches in
height and weighs 160 pounds. He
has played with several amateur
clubs of st. Louis, playing short
stop and 1st base, both of which
positions he plays with grace and
ease. He is one of the swiftest and
best base runners on the nine, and
is particularly popular with the
ladies. He has played only few
games with the nine this year, ow-
ing to lame arm, but he gives
promise of playing up to the ex-
pectations of his most ardent ad-
mirers.
The latest and one Of the most val
liable acquisitions to the nine is
CHARLES A. BUCKNER,
who was born at Bowling Green, Mo-
is % years of age, 6 feet in height and
weighs 165 pounds. He has played
with the Browns since their Or
ganiza ton, with the exception Of

with the nine since its organization.
Until this season he has been the
regular catcher. He now plays Gen.

admirably. He takes great interest
in the club and to his vim and energy
the club is largely indeb:ed for its
success.

No betting Or drinking is permitted

have large crowds. These people
have love for their God and their fel-

Christianity i'm Many Forms.

THOMPSON STATION, June Sth, 1884.
Mr.. r. NJ. WHITE-There are
many forms in which christianity is
led by those who claim to be chris
tians. We will only speak of few for
the present. Even in this grand old
county of Audrain, with her prosper
Gus inhabitants, with her fine and
fertile soil in which God has planted
here for his children to inhabit nice
and handsome churches, and placed
in convenient localities. We notice
that every neighborhood has .
church close enough for all to attend,
so that the christian parents can take
their children there and let them hear
the word of God, and learn them the
way to travel through this world.
1t will impress something on their
minds that will never be forgotten,
but many of the people who claim
to be christians stay at home Sun
day after Sunday, and sermon after
sermon has been exclaimed in their
own church and they never attend.
They will let their children grow up
in ignorance to the word of God.
They will never set any example be-
| fore them that a christian parent
should. The people can find time
enough to attend most any other
gathering but hardly ever attend
to their church even once q month.
Is there much christianity III such a
heart? Others can attend even SER
mons and their farmes still remain
where they are. They seem to get
along Just as well as the man who
never attends. They take their fam
lilies and let their children hear
what their neighbo'rs children hard
ly ever hear He set an example
before them that they will remember,
when their heads are gray. Many
of these churches are large and
roomy, we'll made and good material
we'll fenced and everything neat and
convenient, so that the passer b,
can't help but think they have respect
for themselves and God. 1t goe;
to prove that they love their Goo
and their fellow man. We have alsc
noticed other churches equally as
, good placed IN what we would cal
an Intelligent neighborhood, and on'
: of wealth and pride, one that We woult
think had more respect fol God an'
man and others who have gone befor'
them. But there are some churche;
placed in such q neighborhood, vel
built and should be well attended
to, but We can name one or tw'
where the people claim to be chris
tians, yet they will go to thei
church and see it standing in pleas

from the stock allowed to stand 10

My heart at rest.
Long have these eyes seemed blind,
Longing for sight
Of him in whom alone they find
Lovers sweetest light.

To bridgeless space,
If waited there the vision bright
Of his dear face.

Not as will.
