advertisement. setting forth the evils
and the dangers of mouth breathing
and providing an infallible remedy
"Snor- o. don't" by name. You bit into

your teeth along with a dollar bill and
received the appliance. This was a
piece of celluloid. which fitted under
the upper lip and completely closed
the mouth. For awhile the device stop
ped snoring by virtue of stopping
sleep, but after while the citizen
reached the point where he slept SO
soundly as not to know whether he
snored or not. He was delighted ana
recommended the cure to his friends.
But one morning when he was III his
bath room he received a shock. Reach
ing up to extract the snorodont he
found that it was not in his mouth!
He returned to his bed to look for it.
1t could not be found. He included
his room in a futile search and at
last he became alarmed.

The other night / boarded at late
hour a sleeper in which the curtains
of the berths had been already drawn,
Seven of them were occupied, the oc-
cupants of six were snoring, four of
them deep-toned, long-drawn, original

three the man was Ak pre-emlnent

peeped from beneath the curtain the
toe of as dainty a boot as ever man
gazed on. 1t must have been an A

mold, its patent leather toe, ridiculous
~ small. The whole was a lovable
promise of the loveliness of the beauty
behind the curtains from whence came
a nasal whine that held its own even
with the thunders from number three.
Several others boarded the car and
we discussed the matter in the smoker.
The voices from the berths reSembled
more than any thing else a frog pond

WORLDS WONDERS.
Ringing Brothers Menagerie is Re-
pIete With All That is Rare in
Animal Life.

The menagerie presented for
inspection and stndy this year by
the Ringling Brothers is the
greatest geological collection
ever brought together. AS an
important department in the big
gest show in the world it offers
not only features of interest and
wonder, but recommends itself
pre- -eminently as superior
source of study and information.
In point of size as well as in rare
and exclusive features it is be-
yond comparison with any other
wild animal show in Europe or
America. 1t possesses SO many
specimens of rare animal life not
to be seen in any other collection
that it is the most distinctive and
valuable menagerie in the world,
and will be seen in it's entirety
when the Ringing Brothers ex-
hibit in Columbus, Friday, Nov.
"a, 1905.
The giraffe, now almost extinct,
is represented by two beautiful
specimens, a male and a female.
The rhinoceros is another feature
that cannot be seen with any
other show. Explorers say this
species of beast has disappeared
with the solitary exception of the
one owned by the Ringling Broth
ers. The only baby elephant
ever born and successfully rear
ed in captivity in America be-
longs to this remarkable exhibi-
ton. A lso an extraordinary
herd offorty full ll-grown elephants.
Naturalists. scientists and stu
dents will find many other spec
linens of almost extinct types of
animals, like the Gland, the only
rhinoceros in captivity. the black
vaark Of South America, the yak
from the highlands of Thibet,
hippopotami as heavy as a good
sized elephant. huge polar bears
all that is rare and interesting
in zoology-is here exhibited.
Some idea Of the immensity and
completeness of the Ringling
Brothers menagerie may be
formed from the comparative
statement that no other menage-
rie contains more than forty
cages, while the Ringing Broth
ers actually possess 1O8 cages,
tanks, lairs and dens containing
three times the largest zoo the
world has ever seen. Nor is the
menagerie the only wonder of the
Worlds Greatest Shows. Ring
ling Brothers have 375 of the
most finished performers known
to the amusement world, a new
and glorious three mile free
street parade, a sublime and
beautiful spectacular production
of "The Field of the Cloth of
Gold,' shown on the largest
stage ever used for exhibitional
purposes the whole being trans
ported from city to city in eighty

carrying capacity to ITO ordinary

London. July 1.-THE demand which
the unemployed of London are making
for chance to'work was reinforced this
morning. in a startling manner, when
600 women from the slums of the east
end marched through the streets of the
city To- the Parliament Hall, where they
applied to Premier Balfour to see that
the bill providing work for those who
are without emyloy ment shall be passed.
1t was a strange procession which filed
through the streets as the women made
their way 10 the Parliament Hall, at
tired in old dresses, ragged and dirty,
which showed the signs of long and hard
wear. Old hats and worn out shoes
completed the costumes. Nearly every
woman carried baby in her arms, and
small children toddled at the sides oil

see Premier Balfour, and Mr.. Balfour
went out to meet them. He promised
them that the bill in which they are in
terested should be passed if he could ac-
complish il.

SEVERAL YEARS ago a number OF
workmen in New York gave dinner ia
which they invited Senator Chauncey
NJ. Depew. He accepted the invitation,
appeared in his dress suit and made one
of his characteristic speeches. He was
idolized by all present and tremendous
applause followed every attempt on The
part of the honored guest to be facetious.
But times change and men change with
them. Just as the delegates of the Cen.
trail Federated Union in New York were
becoming drowsy at the meeting yester-
day series of resolutions were adopted
condemnatory of the Senator, one of
which was as follows:
THAT we express our seserest con-
demuation of the conditions prevailing in
the Office of the State superintendent OF
Insurance at Albany, who withheld from
the public the truthful state of affairs in
the gigantic steal, and that we cali upon
the Joker Chauncey NJ. Depew, as the
represe atative of the Empire State in

Office because of the criminal part he
played in connection with the case. Or
