You call this over exertion. You
cannot sleep when night comes.
Your back aches. Your head
aches. Often you ache all over.

coming down had anything to do with

The Great Barnum . Bailey shows IN All
Their Glory.
Tomorrow the great Barnum &
Bailey slows again come among rs,
pitching tents south of Ninth ave-
nue.. The combined attraction is
bigger, better and brighter than
ever this year with its multiplicity
of new and wonderful features. An
event in connection with show day
is always the parade, and the Bar
mum & Bailey management has been
generous enough to make It more
Interesting and instructive than ever
this year.
The return Of Columbus to the
city of Barcelona after the first voy-
age Of discovery, which triumphant
event took place 400 years ago and
was made the occasion for the grand
est pageant in the history Of the
world, has been seized upon by the
manager of the Barnum & Bailey
Greatest Show on Earth as the sub
ject for reproduction in the great
