the main attraction will be the great

the best trained of any wild animals.
The acts which they go through are
really wonderful as we'll as startling.
Enoch the man fish is another bic

Bob burdette 10 Young Men.

Remember, son, that the world is
older than you by several years, that
for thousands OF years It has been SO
tull OF smarter and better men than
yourself that their feet stuck out at
the dormer windows; that when they
died the old globe went whirling on
and not one man in ten millions
went to the funeral Don't be too
sorry for your father because he
knows SO much less than you do.
Remember the reply OF DR.. Way
land to the students of Brown uni
versity, who said it was an easy
enough thing to make proverbs such
es Soloman wrote. Make a few, ;"
tersely replied the old man. The
world has great need of young men,
but no greater need than the young
men have for it. Your clothes fit
you better than your fathers clothes
fit him; they cost more money; they
cost more money and they are more
stylish; your mustache is neater; the
cut of your hair is better. But
young man the old gentleman gets
the biggest salary, and his homely
scrambling signature on the business
end of a check will drain more money
out of the bank in five minutes than
you could get out withga ream of pa
per and copper-plate signature in
six months. Plain Talk.

PAYING HONEST DEBTS.

Bright sideg Bless your heart, there's
nothing in the universe without;
Massive bars Of surshine's bullion, poorly
hidden, lie about;
Every day we are ignoring opportunities
to smile,
And we frown and weep and worry over
petty things the while.
In our fruit,ess fight for fortune what's
the use to fume and fret
While it's still such worlds of pleasure
paying off an honest debt?
Week by week we see the surplus we had
planned Tor disappear,
And we'fe sure the same conditions must
continue year for year;
Then Despair comes round and taunts us
with a fiendish, mocking grin.
And lie battle seems to offer little chance
for us to win.
Laugh it of and tell Surrender: "Not
quite ready for you yet;
Fcr there's lots OF iov in living-grcat old
fun to pay debit"
lis. no hollow hope I'm holding out, o
brother mino. in song
Since my own life learned the secret I've
be en- singing. loud and long;
Every paltry dime expended TO dispel an
honest need
Is raw recruit en- istcd in the fight
against King Creed
Smile 4 benedicton on it-specd it not
with eyelids wet.
For there is no purer pleasure than to pay
an honest debt.

all his virtues, but on his being re-

One day when she went to the win

waited there quito a while, but he did
not appear. Again and again she went
10 the window but could get no glimpse
of him. She was becoming alarmed
when he returned.
He seemed to be proud Of having run
away, but with the pride there was
also an expression of anxiety. not to
say fear. He did not know what sort
of reception he was likely to get.
His mother sternly asked him where
he had been. "Be careful, now, and
don't lie to me-" she said.
The boys face frightened. "Mam-
ma said he, "did George Washington
ever tell lie:''

you tell me one"
The boys face still shone. "Mam'

They are not only performed by
herself. but by another, who acts

washed Is one Of intense satisfaction.
