After having been buried in Il grave
in WOodlaWn cemetery, at Lexington,
Ky, for three days while hypnotiZed,
according to the dispatches from that
city, 16.ycar-Old Maude Mathews was

1t has been agreed that newspaper
subscriptions are an infalliable test of a

later discover the man. If he is dis
honest he will cheat the printer some

was lost-will take the paper and not
pay for it on the ground that he never

Democrats used to say that Europe
would not buy American goods if we
barred out European goods by pro-
tective tariff. In the 1895 fiscal year,
under the Wilson bill, Europe bought
from us to the extent of S634 900, 900.
Last year, under the Dingley protective
tariff, Europe's purchases amounted to
1859, 900, 900. The balance to the credit
of the protective tariff was 1920, 900, 900
last year in our trade with Europe
alone.

Harry D. PriestIey.

Again the dark shadow has fall
len on US: again our hearts are
sad. Another friend has been
called beyond the gates and
we who loved him have only a
memory of his presence. AS we
advance down Life's pathway,
more and more of those who erst-
while walked with US grow weary
and stop to rest. We realize
that in little while we too will
tire and seek rest where only it
can be found. But a little while
till we shall join them, and yet
our burdened hearts, bowed
with grief, find the waiting long
when no longer cheered by their
presence. The evening shadows
finger longer, the winter days fill
so much of the year; the robins
note has touched a minor strain.
How still the empty room! How
we listen for the we'll known foot
step. Lonely hearts have no
where for their rest since he
went home.
1.-The old glad songs breathe but
a sad refrain,
And laughter sobs with hidden,
bitter pain
Since he went home.
Such loyal, loving friends as
Harry Priestley are rare indeed,
and his place in our hearts can
ne'er be filed.

FOR? SMITH
TURNS OUT.
Sells and 0ray's Great
Tented Shows
An Attractive Street Parade This
Morning and an Excellent
Performance This
Afternoon.

From Fort Smith (Ark.] Daily Record:
Sells & Gray's show arrived in
the city this morning giving the
customary parade which was a
most pleasant surprise. The
hundreds of people who lined
the sidewalks were very free in
their expressions of delight at
the exhibition made of show ap-
pointments and declared that the
sights were the most brilliant and
satisfying they had ever witness
ed in that line.
Especial comment was made
concerning the fine condition of
the horses and the magnificence
of their trappings. The animals
appeared to appreciate the hon
ors conferred upon them, and
with heads high, stepped lightly
and gracefully along the route.
1t is not an exaggeration to say
that the parade presented by
Sells & Gray is the cleanest in
every respect ever seen on the
streets of Fort Smith and this
feature is characteristic of every
thing connected with the show.
An hour before the performance
com menced this afternoon, Prof.
J. 8. Hale's silver cornet band
gave a most delightful concert
which embraced both classical
and popular music, playing to an
extraordinary large audience. The
concert will be repeated from
seven to eight O'Clock this even
ing to kill any monotomy ex-
perienced by those who are wait
ing for the show to begin.
The performance this after
noon was enthu siasm creating.
There was an entire absence of
tedious waits; and halts and hest
tancies. The program moved
along like clock work and eye
and ear were kept busy keeping
up with the Kaleidoscope changes
which were continually taking
place, but not so quickly as to
prevent their grandeur from be-
ing fully appreciated.
A truly remarkable feature OF
the performance was the back
ward somersault of little Edna
while the horse she was riding
was going at full tilt around the
ring. The feat is a marvellous
one and is not duplicated by any
other equestrienne in the world,
in fact it is such an exception
and 80 difficult of performance
that Messrs Sells & Gray have a
standing offer of ten Thousand
dollars 10 any lady who will per-
form it successfully as it is
always performed by little Edna.
Harry Terry's performing dogs
delighted the ladies and children
and it was noticed that the male
element took great interest in
the wonderfully intelligent feats
of the CANNES. One of them
mounted ladder to the very
apex of the text and at the word
OF command leaped into net
below, a feat which is thrilling
in the extreme. The dog appears
to appreciate the applause be-
slowed upon it.
James H. Gray's performing
horses display astonishing in
telligence. They do almost
everything but talk. They are
all of fine blood aud high in
telligence and the concensus of
opinion was that nothing equal
ling them in perfection of train
ing has ever been seen in this
city. i
The thousands who attended
the afternoon performance had
only one fault to find with the
program. 1t was so intensely
