A certain preacher, says The Abba
Union, when preaching ON cleanliness,
mentioned that lie had seen brass
monkey, in store, with cigarette in
it's mouth. 1t was automatically ar
ranged SO that when the cigarette was
lighted the monkey would draw in the
smoke and puff it out again. The
works stopped on one occasion, and the
monkey was taken apart ts discover
the cause. The works were found to
be clogged and in a filthy condition.
The moral was drawn by the preacher
thus: "If the smoke Of cigarette
will stop the works Of a brass monkey,
what will it do to you."

up around it and in the ring.
1t was good natured crowd Surging
to and fro as occasion and the order of
the circus programme demanded, the
people passed jokes back and forth.

Two rows Of seats. from top to bottom
of the section of reserved seats were
roped off with bunting for the circus
party given in honor of Mr. John T. Judd
of GuarajuatO, Mexico, and his sister
Miss Grace Judd of Mount Vernon, ILL.,,
by Col. and Mrs George W. Veale- The
circus party was novelty for Topeka
The seats were secured so that each cou-
pie of the young folks were directly in
front of the first couple at the top of the
section. On the top row of seats was
placed an ice water tank to which was
attached a hose which was strung out
over the entire section of seats reserved
for the party. A faucet was on the end
ofsthe hose and glasses were distributed
on each row of seats Suspended on the
end of rubber elastic ribbons from the
ceiling Of the tent were bags containing
peanuts and candy,
The various features of the show
were excellent. Much of the pro-
gramme was entirely new to circus
performances One thing that i'm
presses the spectator is that the va
rious artists are first class in their
specialties-
There were the Earl sisters in the
swinging ladder; Miss Edna. who
turned a back somersault on horseback
the famous Eddy family, which re-
ceived frequent applause in their IA
nous tumbling acts, turning sOmer-
saults from the shoulders of one mem
Der of the family to the shoulders of
another. There were clowns as horse
traders, roller skate performers and
comic acrobats.
their wonderful trapeze performances,
wherein one displayed great strength
in her jaws, holding a trapeze rope in
her teeth while the other performed
thus suspended in mid-air.
One of the new specialties was the
act of Mrs. Tybelle upon a cross ladder
held aIoft in balance by her husband.
Other trapeze performers of excep-
tional merit were Miss Marietta and
Miss Cecil Melrose. Miss Thompson is
the slack wire artist. Some of the
most thrilling performances were those
given by the Reno family, trapeze
specialists.
The elephant was one Of the largest
ever seen in Topeka, and with his
performer gave one of the best trained
exhibitions in this line.
There were the usual ring displays,
fancy riding, drills and jumping over
horses etc.

Publication Of Roots Note Which Hs
Tried to Keep Secret.

Lr1eQ TO Keep Secret

Washington special says: At the cabs-
net meeting on Tuesday of this week
the president laid before his official ad
yiSerS, the most favorable reports re-
ceived from Gen Wood indicating that
Secretary Roots sharp and unambigu-
Gus note of ten days ago was having
the desired effect on all classes of Gu
bans. In this note the secretary said
plainly that the United States would
not be trifled with by the Cuban polite
ian and that until the Platt amendment
without notifications or "interpreta-
tions" was incorporated into the organic
law of the island Cuba could not be-
come an independent sovereignty. 1t
appears from cable dispatches that all
or a part of Mr.. Roots note has been
printed in one or more Havana papers.
1t is not known who gave it out for
publication and the propriety of this
action is seriously questioned by war
department officials. The secretary Of
war has purposely withheld this i'm
portant document from publication in
the United States for fear that public
ity pending settlement of the issues
would lead to embarrassment and it is
likely that when Mr- Root returns to
Washington he win Immediately in
struct Gen Wood to make a careful in
report to Washington, so that the war
department may know in future whom
to trust in the convention at Havana
At the same time it is suggested that
publication of the secretary's note act
ually did good instead of harm, in that
it enabled some of the timid politicians
in the constitutional convention 70

useless longer to obstruct the policy Of

thusiastic if it was little late in getting
started.
