!. Exchanging Circus Rings.

"Circuses," said the old ring master,
'shaye developed, evolved and changed.
From the one ring Of the past they
have grown to- three rings, plus an ele-
waited stage, and there are many other
improvements. But In one particular
there has been no change since time
began, and that Is In the dimensions Of
the ring. A circus ring is always the
same size-forty two feet nine inches in
diameter. Go where you will, you will
never find circus ring with different
dimensions from that.
A bareback rider can ride best in q
ring Of this size. All riders train in
such ring and all horses are trained
In such ring. There would be trouble
for horses and men If the size Of the
ring should be changed. It would b
like changing the size Of the baseball
diamond, only worse" Minneapolis

%'Push things" is a good motto
Tor any boy to adopt. 1t is the man
who pushes things" in the business
world who succeeds, not the one
who waits to be pushed. If your
wagon sticks in rut, put your
shoulder to the wheel and push it
vout; don't climb on the wagon and
wait for someone to come along
and push it for you. You may wait
in vain. If things don't go, push
them, and push hard. Keep on
pushing. All things are possible to
the boy who pushes. No difficulties
can brighten him, no obstacles can
daunt him, no failures can dis
courage him. Success is as certain
ITO follow him as night and day.

Ants, Cow Sheds.

One Of the most interesting studies Of
insect life is the relationship between
ants and plant lice, or aphids. These
plant lice. supply honey dew from the
Juices which they take as food from
plants. The ants are very fond Of this
sweet substance and care for the
aphids In a manner that seems to "
surprisingly intelligent. They some
times carry them bodily to, Q. better
feeding ground and drive away csxtain
Of their enemies. It Is claimed that
they even build sheds Of mud in tho
crotches Of shrubs and small trees. o.
account Of this insect relationship one
may truthfully call the ants farmers

mud cases "cow sheds."-St. Nicholas.

DON'T KNOCK; BOOST.

A community is not a mere G. l.
lection of houses and people that
Happened to come together in the
same general neighborhood. 1t is
vastly more than that. 1t is some
thing with individuality, with its
good points and it's bad points,
something to love, to be proud OF
and to work for. It's individuality
rs the sum of the characteristics OF
it's environments and of it's con-
stituent humanity. Whether that
individuality is good or bad depends
upon whether it's elements are good
0r bad. Every good element tends
to make good town, and every
weakness tends to make the town
weaker.
The man that is proud OF his
town and that is willing to work for
its upbu1lding is valuable element,
while the man that sits back and
S'knocks" is worse than worthless.
lie is a traitor to the community
that shelters and feeds him.
But TO crlticise the weak points in
a community and to endeavor to
strengthen them does not make a
S'kn ocker." The best booster is
the one that sees the weak points
and helps to make them right It
us the one that contents himself
with bowling about the bad things,
and that never attempts to improve
conditions, that is the real KNOCK
er."
A real ''knocker'' in a community
lis like rotten brick IN a building.
He is an element of weakness, and
If there are enough like him they
will cause the structure to crumble
away and degenerate into heap OF
ruins.
Boost" but don't ''knock" your
home community.

of 1.-THE little brown man" who re-
CARDS him as more than father and
as little less than creator.
The president is confronted with
grave problem and every loyal
American will trust that the in
finite wisdom may guide him it it's
solution.
1t is indeed unfortunate that the
federal deficit on June 80, the close
OF the fiscal year, should have so
far exceeded Secretary Shaw's es-
innate. 1t amounted to $24, 300, 900,
or IS, 300, 900 more than the secre-
tary had believed was possible.
Every cloud has silver lining how
ever, and it is more than probable
that the president will find the
growing deficit powerful weapon
in his coming fight for tariff read
justment, IN which he is certain to
be bitterly opposed by the stand
patters.
The is no doubt but that the views
of Secretary Hay contributed to the
tenacity with which the president
has insisted that the time has come
for the Republican party to read
just the tariff schedules to suit
changed conditions. Mr.. Hay was
an intensely NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. none
more so, but he believed in customs
duties which would closely equal
the difference between the wages
of foreign and domestic labor, and
in not penny more.
1t is perfectly amazing how ex-
cited some peoplelcan get over little
things. 1t is reportedithat some of
the labor unions are ''up IN arms"
over the Presidents order regarding
the Chinese exclusion law. Can
they not realize that all the Pres
