HOME AGAIN.
The Greatest Show on Earth Now Greater
than Ever.

The Greatest Show on Earth Now Greater
than Ever
The Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show
on Earth will exhibit at Dubois, Pa,
August 2l. Owing to the magnitude OF
the show the route is necessarily re-
stricted to the large towns, but low ex-
cursion rates and special trains, where
necessary, have been secured in order
to accommodate the people OF the small
er towns who wish to see the wonders OF
this mammoth amusement institution.
The Barnum & Bailey circus returned
to America last year after remarkable
tour of Europe extending over period
OF five years. During the interim the
show has grown enormously ; hundreds
of new and novel acts and big arenic
features have been secured, while the
inherent American love for spectacular
display has been anticipated by the
production OF stupendous moving,
living picture OF ancient Oriental pomp
and pageantry. This resplendent dis
play is, however, simply prelude to
the circus performance, which serves to
introduce 300 arenic celebrities from all
parts OF the world. The performances
they present in the triple rings, on the
stages, and in mid-air, is startling in
its magnitude and daring novelty.
Fun lovers are not neglected and %
famous clowns keep the audience in an
intermittent yhirl OF wonder and mer-
riment. One Of the biggest sensations
OF the year is Cyclic, the Kinetic Demon,
who braves injury and instant death by
sensational bicycle ride on the inside
OF perpendicular circle. The ancient
and modern races and feats of strength
and endurance presented on the hippo
drome track as climax to the perform
ance are thrilling in the extreme.
"Coco," the baby elephant, the two
giant giraffes and the other rare ZOO
logical features in the menagerie are
attracting universal attention, while
the miniature naval display which is
presented in connection with the ZOO,
and the congress OF "livlng human cur
iosities," everywhere arouses the most
pronounced patriotic enthusiasm. This
years street parade is entirely and gor-
geous beyond anything in the process
sional line hitherto attempted. Every
one who attends the Barnum & Bailey
circus is sure of o seat, and every seat
is provided with a comfortable foot rest.
The tents are lighted by new electrical
system.

About a year ago some one, who
might have known better, and who
probably did know better, started the
story that the grange in Pennsylvania
was rapidly going to pieces and that
the State officers we're racking their
brains and doing all they could to save
the organization from complete collapse.
This story was copied in many OF the
newspapers in the State and no doubt
did some Of the harm it was intended
TO do.
The facts are the grange never en-
joyed greater prosperity than it has
done during the last three years. AS
an Illustration OF its growth, dues were
paid to State Grange on 2579 more
members ior the quarter ending March
3lst, 1908, than for the corresponding
quarter Of 1902.

Dog Days.

Dog Days began July IL and are
supposed to last six weeks. Among
other things that are supposed to trans
pire in this period are that snakes and
toads go blind, dogs go mad and people
go crazy. Persons who claim they are
not superstitious believe in the bad in
huence OF this period Of the year, and
always feel relief when the end comes
and the sultry season Of dog days is at
an end. Its connection with dogs comes
from the fact that during this time the
sun as viewed from the earth is
apparently In the constellation which
the ancients named CAMS Major, or the
Great Dog, from its fancied resemblance
to dog in It's outline. Its connection
with the other things enumerated is
probably just about as tangible as that.
