Sequel to Case That Brought Up Jury List Discussion.
 Meriden, May 7.-The replevin suit of I. L. Arlook vs. Adolph T. Duis as deputy sheriff has been settled. This was an action which was the result of suit brought by Daniel Sternberg of New Haven against M. Arlook and A. Arlook, husband and wife, to recover $93 for goods sold to the defendants. Action was brought November s, 1902 returnable before Louis E.. Jacobs in New Haven on November 2S, 1902, and judgment was rendered for the plain tiff by default on December ?, 1902 When suit was brought goods to the amount of $175 were attached and taken from the store, corner of East Main and Pratt streets.
 I. l.. Arlook, father of Meyer Arlook, claimed that he was the owner of the store and that his son, Meyer, was running it for him. He brought an &C., tion of replevin against Sheriff Duis to recover goods which the sheriff had at- tached The case has been pending since that time because the attorneys for Duis asked for jury trial.
 This is the case that brought out the fact that jury trial could not be had in Meriden because of the missing jury list. Slade & Slade represented the plaintiff and Attorney P. T. O'Brien and A. B. Aubrey represented the de- fendants.

OLD CIRCUS DAYS.

A Glance Backward to the Time of Bailey and Turner.
 Golfers Weekly of recent date pub- fishes the following in it's interesting series by Charles Day of New Haven, ''The Old Circus Man"
 The first touring tent-shows in this country boasted of neither bands nor band wagons, the performers parading on horseback in costumes after the manner of the 'mummers' of the stage in the same era. The pioneer Turner's of Danbury, Conn.,, used a band wagon until it nearly fell apart and the musicians, through the economy of Ma poleon B. Turner, were transferred to an ordinary box wagon, much to the disgust of George F. Bailey, who was the active director of the small outfit. This was in the early fifties, and MT. Bailey, without authority, had a band wagon built at Cincinnati and shipped to Frankfort, Kentucky, and placed on second hand running gear. While playing at Washington MT. Bailey did himself proud by sending the band and wagon-to serenade the president. The chief magistrate divided his com pliments between the band and the wagon.
 James Redmond, a successful Am erican manager prior to 1S42, had used two elephants in harness as band team. In 1842 he visited Europe with Carter the Lion King, and on his re- turn organized for the road for the sea- son of 1S43 with four elephants draw ing the band wagon. The pachyderms were named Virginius, weighing $500 pounds; Hannibal, 5000; Columbus, g. 300: Siam, $500 pounds.
 Tn 1857, Tony Pastor was one of the band mounted on an elephant in the parade of Raymond & Warnings men agerie. Antonio beat the bass drum and Bob Hale, the rest of the band, beat the cymbals. One day the lads fell out, and in the way of variety beat each other, making a discord. .
 "In 1S49, Spaulding & Rogers present. ed novel features in their public parade, including the Apollonicon-a musical mechanical organ drawn by forty horses four abreast, driven by one man. During the tour of New England in 1850 the business was so large and the spread of canvas so great that Dr. Spaulding invented the use of quarter poles and was the first manager to put in seats eleven tiers high, with extra front seats running down to the ring.
 Tn 1S47, Seth B. Howes imported a drove of camels from Cairo, Egypt, and they appeared in harness in parade. In 1870, James French, with his Oriental Circus and Egyptian Caravan, made a free feature of a~troupe of performing Arabs mounted on camels. During the seasons of 1852 and 1858 the firm of Seth B. Howes, P. T. Barnum and Lew is B. Lent showed in free exhibit ten elephants and gorgeously carved and painted 'Car of Juggernaut. In 1879, Adam Forepaugh had ten elephants be- hind the first band wagon, and kept in- creasing the number annually in eom- petition with P. T. Barnum until the rivals both advertised and produced lover a quarter of hundred"

SUMMONS

Have ever Gone-the music deep and
strong
Born of the forest when the wind rejoices
With tumult of forgotten, ancient song.
Naught draws me like the smell of the
masterpieces
noon, .
When sunlight overfows the blue air
spaces
And motion fails into magic swoon.
My split sweeps aloft with the great
mountains
And finds in mighty storms a mystic
calm. w
I know the song sung by the hidden foun-
81 tains,
long for the deep valleys scented balm.
Deserts grown gray beneath the suns long
Creating loneliness from morn to morn;
Forgotten paths. through dim, lush mea-
dows twining;
Shores where the sea forever moves Tor
lorn;
Earth.voices, sun and moon and shadow,
Growth Of the spring and summers
dreaming peace;
Tempest and evening hush and soft snow
falling
Immortal voices! never will ye cease
To lead me by strange ways, half-compre-
hending-

Beyond all life and beauty that hath end

Unto that mystery, whence yourselves
We flow.

STUDYING the Birds.

If westudy our wild birds thought
fully ir the nesting-season We shall
soon ct a better understanding OF
their ral nature, and as result
warmer sympathy for the birds them
selves. We shall see many Of thei1
finest tpits-their patience and perse-
veranca their love of home and the
untiring devotion with which in most
instances they defend and provide for
their yong. But to study this side OF
bird life We must not molest the eggs.
Very f.w naturalists collect birds
eggs nowadays; they know that II IS
Of far more Importance to study the
nests il which the eggs are, and the
young lirds which will shortly come
out of tie eggs. All the eggs you are
ever likely to find are already well
known, so that you might collect ten
THOUSAND, and thus kill ten thousand
young birds, without adding one new
fact to the scientific knowledge or
them.
Perhaps you will hardly believe it if
I tell Vol that not one of even our very
commomst birds has had his life-his-
tory thoroughly and completely stud
led. HIRE is a chance for you, then.
