THE CIRCUS CAME
 AND IS NOW GONE
Great Crowds Witness Fine Per- formanCeS Afternoon and
 Night-JOIly Day

Yesterday was circus day in Birmingham, and the young and. old. enjoyed the sight of big elephants and the taste of red iemon- ade and candied popcorn. John Robinson's 8 show was the attraction, and both day and night ,performancess-were excellent.
 Crowds began coming into the city early in the morning to get the benefit of the free parade and have plenty of time to take in the main show and all the side attrac- tions in the afternoon. There were side at fractions and lots of them, and stream of dusty, sweating humanity at the instance of the loud-mouthed spielers passed in and out the small entrances for several hours.
 When the time for the main performance arrived the circus tent was well filled with persons who had come there to enjoy an old-fashioned circus and munch peanuts. They did both. The performance was con- ducted in most orderly manner, the only interruption being the announcement of the approaching concert. This, as usual, came before ''the show was half over" The an- Eouncer was eloquent.
 The bareback riding was the best seen in Birmingham this season, and one feature which can be especially mentioned was the tight rope walking by youn man clothed in white tights. The clowns were funny and the crowd laughed No better praise could be given
 As a whole the John Robinson circus, though not on quite so large a scale as one or two others, is good. It is three-ring circus and in every one of these there was something interesting yesterday.
 The concert was like all circus concerts

If you toot your little tooter and. lay
aside your horn, there's not a soul in
ten short days will know that you were
born. The man who gathers pumpkins
is the man who plows all day, and the
man who keeps humpin' is the gent
who makes it pay. The man who ad-
vertises with a sudden sort o. jerk, is
the man who blames the printer be-
cause it didn't work. The gent who
gets the business has long and steady
pull, and keeps the local paper for
weeks and weeks quite full. He plans
his advertisements in thoughtful,
earnest way, and keeps forever at it
until he makes it pay. He has faith
much in the future and can stand q
sudden shock, and like the man in
scripture, has his business on rock.

parents, William and Maria Paxton,
were Friends, who came at an early
day from Pennsylvania, and the child
was reared in the quiet and beautiful
atmosphere and method of Quaker
home. She learned in her childhood to
love flowers, to be interested in living
creatures, and to cultivate a cheerful,
hopeful and contented spirit. She was
educated in the public schools and also
had some training in seminary. Early
in the ''fifties," she married William
Pennock. To them was born a daugh.

in widowhood, she married, January 4,
1859, William A. Funk. Their one child,
daughter, is Mrs. Anna Maud Mekeel,
wife of Chas. II. Mekeel, of St. Louis.
Soon after their marriage they united
with the Methodist Episcopal church,

moval to St. Louis, in May, 1880, they
became members of Union church, with

ASKED TO SEE GEORGE.

He Did Not Know the President, and
Was Frightend When Told
Who He Was.
Commercial Tribune.

Commercial Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Feb. pa troupe of
Japanese acrobats playing at local
theater visited the White House Tues
day morning under charge of their
manager. The youngest of the troupe,
Master K. Yarkietri, is under Z years
of age. This little fellow hid behind
the manager until the members of the
troupe were retiring, when the Presi-
dent noticed the chap, and, patting him
on the cheeks, asked his name. Master
Yarkietri, not knowing who addressed
him, answered promptly, without en-
barrassment. He then proceeded to
interview His Excellency thus:
'Twant to see George Washington,
the father of this country"
The President, amused at the unex-
pected inquiry, escorted him to the
picture of Washington and explained
that the original was dead.
| "Well, what is your name?' persisted
Master Yarkietri.
my name is William Mckinley"
was the smiling answer.
sWhat do you do here?"
II am the President of the United
States." replied the President, looking
kindly at the Jap, who suddenly col
lapsed on discovering, that he was talk
ing to the President. The manager,
who had missed his little charge on
leaving the room, returned and found
him staring as openeyed as Jap can
stare, in speechless terror, at the Pres
ident, who was smiling encouragingly
as he patted him kindly good-by.

If WE UNDERSTOOD EACH OTHER.

If we understood each other,
How much sorrow we could save
How much heartache, how much trouble;
Trouble deemed by US more grave
Than it would, if clearer vision
To each one were but conferred,
That we might discern the motive.
Which alone the heart has stirred.
o, these bitter, bitter feelings,
Which destroy so much of life,
Formed from small misunderstanding
Ending oft in woeful strife
Can we not such darkness Danish
And all anger cast aside?
Would we not then see more clearly
Through the gloom. which has defed?
And perhaps beyond the shadows,
We would find a broken heart
Basely wronged and torn and bleeding
From the wounds of many a dart.
o, 1 bid you thoughtless wounder
Look ye well both sides to know.
If the fault Is all,thy brothers
Ere thou givest his heart the blow.

Many Coal Miners ON strike.

Pittsburg, April 2.-From 10000 to
10000 coal miners in the Pittsburg dis
trict and 5000 in the Irwin district are
on strike The cause of the trouble
in the Pittsburg district is dissatsfac-
tion over the dead work scale of the In
dianapolis agreement and was entirely
unexpected. All the river mines were
forced to close down by the refusal of
the men to work, and many of the rail
road mines are idle. In the Irwin dis
trict the miners want an advance of 5
cents per ton. Good order prevails in
both districts.
