May Find Both North Poles.

An expedition to the north magnetic
pole of the earth sailed from Christiana,
under command of Capt. Amundsen, on
June 16. The route to be followed is one
never before attempted. From King
William Land, on the east coast of
Greenland, Capt. Amundsen will en-
deavor to proceed to Boring strait. This
course would carry him almost directly
across the north pole, so that, if he sue
ceeds, he may find both poles, the mag
netic and the geographic. His ship is a
stout whaler named the Gjoa, equipped
for four years stay in the arctic regions.

When the Circus Comes.

There are pleasing recollections called up
by the tented show,
Memories of youthful pleasures in the
days of long ago;
Nividly again are pictured scenes that
then enjoyed renown.
And the same old thrills we're feeling
when the circus comes to town.
We remember how the urchins then by
scores were supplicants
For the job of Juggling water for the
thirsty elephants;
How they used to gather early and ex.
press their wonderment,
For a palace of enchantment was the
old-time circus tent.
We remember how we struggled for a
seat down near the ring,
To be close to clown and riders and keep
track of everything;
How we watched with wide-eyed wonder
when each daring leap was made,
How we Toasted on the peanuts and tint
ed lemonade.
We remember young ambitions in those
old-time circus days,
When we yearned to wear the spangles
and disport in public gaze;
How we envied all the riders their con-
nection with the show,
And how sadly we lamented when we
saw the circus go.
1t Is not the old-time circus that now
gayly comes to town,
Not the old-time beasts and riders and
the solitary clown;
For by train loads now performers and
accessories are brought,
And the tented show is spreading Ger a
forty-acre lot.
Great and many are the changes since
those happy early days
When the little circus charmed US, and
in wonder we would gaze;
But there comes the same old feeling,
and we simply have to go,
Though there's risk of getting cross-eyed
at the modern tented show.
