Tents and Cars

The big circus has been here and
has gone. It came in as quietly as a
morning fog, and faded out like smoke
from an expiring campfire. There was
no noise, no rudehess, no profanity
among its 1865 employees and perform
ers, and there was no tough element Of
thimble-riggers and shell game boost
ers permitted to travel with il. It was
a good, clean, show from start TO finish,
and its management deserves unstinted
praise for the fact. Unless one visited
the show "outside Of the tents" full
knowledge Of its immensity could not
be gained. A few figures will, in this
connection. prove Of interest. There
are 1865 people on the pay roll, and
these are all fed in a big tent capable
of seating 500 at once. There are used
each day 2000 pounds Of meat, 25 bush
els of potatoes, a barrel Of grain cof-
fee, a caddy Of tea, three barrels Of
sugar, and vegetables by the wagon
load. One would not look for much OBJ

FATALITY AMONG HORSES.
"Pink Eye" Killing Many Valuable
Work Horses All Over the West.

DIR. t. J. Lloyd, the veterinarian
who has been over Umatilla county
thoroughly during the past week on
professional business says that the
"pink eye" or epizootic cellulitis
which is now killing many valuable
work horses in this county is also
raging in different parts of the West
with terrible fatality.
The disease affects different horses
in different ways. Some horses are af.
fected in the limbs and joints, some in
the back, some in the eyes, and others
in different ways, but finally the disease
ends in congestion Of the lungs which
is the fatal phase Of Il.
1t is aggravated by heat, dust and
overwork, and many horses in seem.
ingly good health drop dead in the har.
ness from acute congestion Of the lungs
after suffering with some other phase
OF the disease for several days without
showing many signs of illness. Horses
that are well kept and in fairly good
health will often work without Iagging
until ready to drop. Such cases are
invariably termed "overheating, but

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-12-14

"One night, when the October moon was at it's best this man, in the absence of his younger brother, was attacked by a caller, and killed by repeated blows from small ax. The next day, after the autopsy, all the curiosity seekers followed the detectives about as they were Investigating clews. and was asked to remain on guard until re. lieved.
 The room, which was on the first floor, had two windows, both opening to the east; and sat on a sofa be. tween them with the mutilated body of my old friend lying on an impro- vised table at distance of about four or five feet from the windows. The novelty of the situation caused me a little uneasiness at first, and I. gath cred and laid within reach two or three weapons, including the fatal ax. Presently I heard low caterwaul just outside the window, and visions of these pets mourning over their dead master passed before my mental sight.
 These romantic reveries were rude. ly shattered by mad rush. In through the windows sprang five bristling, ravening incarnations of hells most fiendish spirits. Three bounced upon the body of their late beloved CD master, fairly clawing one another in their fury to get at the head and neck, the seat of the worst mutiliation. Of the other two, one de. voted his attention to getting shreds from saw which had been used by the physician, while the other pro. ceeded to lick blood from cracks of the floor.
 This was time for action, but no sooner was the room cleared than in through window or door q could not bring myself to close them) would dash cat, which, driven out at one place, sought another entrance. For about an hour, stick in hand, was obliged to fight the brutes."
 It is quite unnecessary for anyone to explain that the cat is not to blame, either because It IS a carrier of disease or because 1t is carnivors ous in its habits; of course it isn't. Neither is rattlesnake to blame for injecting deadly venom into ones blood, but that is no excuse for go ing to bed with rattlesnake. It ia not a question of blame, it is ques. tion of fact and 1t seems to be fact that, in spite of the cats admitted value as destroyer of rats and mice, it is constant menace to health, a source of dreadful anxiety to those who are so unfortunate as to have death in the house, and at all times a cruel and deadly enemy of every song bird which seeks our companionship or our hospitality.

The Sunday Editor
 and the F polish Limerick
By s. E. RISER

c HE entered with a swish and smile. O A faint. delicious perfume found it's way to the Sunday editors nostriis as she approached him. and he looked into her beautiful face. with glad antieipa- ton.
 She has a society note she wants pub Iished." he thought. How gracefully she carries that splendid little head of hers"
 With a dainty, gloved hand she reached into bag that she carried. and then hesitated. looking at him as if she were not quite sure that it would be safe to try his patience.
 Excuse me: is this the Sunday edi- tor?' she asked.
 Her tones were full of soft music She was the most lovely creature the Sunday editor had ever seen. The realization of this came 10 him when she spoke He forgot that he had an engagement with an artist in % minutes, forgot that he had to rewrits an article which he had depended upon as prin- eipal feature: he forgot everything but that she was standing before him smiI- ing eoaxingiy and that he was never be- fore % glad to bs the Sunday editor

catchers considerably. What ought to be built are stone bulkheads."
 But historic Cape Cod is not the only coast line which has to fight with the relentless ocean for existence. II seems that Great Britain Is constant. ly suffering from erosion by the sea, and that her island domain is con stantly growing less. There is some. thing alarming in the thought, but the statements of engineers that it takes hundreds and thousands of years tc make any appreciable difference in the coast line is reassuring. Wherever oceans or lakes roll their waters, or rivers flow, there is steady alteration in the contour of the land. Some years ago the people of the middle lake states. and especially the territory in and about Chicago, were startled by the declaration of some wise man that eventually the waters of Lake Mich igan would sweep over its present boundaries and engulf everything be, fore it, for it is declared that there is a gradual tipping of the land in such 8 way as to in the far distant future SC

Then why write poetry?"

Then why write poetry?" | "Well-you-you see, don't really have to write. Only hoped you might find at least one of these good enough to publish, because-because-"
 Because what?" "Oh, it was awfully foolish, I know, and you will say that have no right to think of such a thing, but there was a challenge in it."
 Some one had told you that you couldn't get anything printed, sup pose" the Sunday editor said, noticing how beautifully rounded and how soft her chin was
 "Yes," she answered, taking care not to look into his eyes, ''and-and I'm afraid it's going to be very serious for me if you refuse toto reconsider the matter"
 They looked at each other, then, for long time without saying anything. The Sunday editor was the first to speak.
 "If it is going to be as serious as you look" he said, I'm afraid I'll have to break our rule" Her face was suddenly transformed from a picture of despair to one of glad hope. and the Sunday editor told him. self that he preferred her happy express sion.
 Cant you tell me what the conditions of this affair are?" he asked.
 "It's the silliest thing in the world," she answered. No, really, should be ashamed to do SO"
 But the Sunday editor was persuasive 1 young man and persistent. wherefore he learned that she had merely out of pique ! agreed to be the wife of somebody whose | interests did not appeal to the Sunday editor. If her literary efforts proved to be unpromising.
 You see" she explained, q have al- ways had an idea that wanted to be in- ! dependent. and he has laughed at the idea and made SO much fun of my pre- tensions that just got angry and told him that I would stake my poems against him and that if they were reject ed he might hope"
 The Sunday editor reached gently over to where her hands rested upon the man. uscripts in her lap. and when she was leaving she turned at the door. 10 smile sweetly up in his face and say:
 "Yes. truly. will make him accept the terms. When I can show him my name in print under poem I will have the right 10 tell him that he needn't t hope any more"
 When the Sunday editor was repri- manded a week later. for having given space to poor little limerick for which he had selected special type and fancy border. he was in no wise cast down. He merely said it would not occur again. and walked hack to his desk. where he took a letter from his innermost pocket aud pressed it 10 his lips.

alter the present relations of land and lake as to cause the latter to empty its mighty depths upon the land. Nc sand catchers" or stone bulkheads would avail in such a case, which re. minds us that notwithstanding the fact that the engineering skill can in large measure overcome and nullify the destructive forces of giant Nature still after all man is but puny and helpless before the disintegrations and constant decay of the elements. Man may wiE temporary victory only to come face to face with conditions be. fore which he is absolutely helpless. The sand catchers" along the coast oi old Cape Cod may stay the inroads of the ocean for time, but who can know what changes in the map will be wrought in the centuries to come The geographer of the year 5000 may look at the atlas of to-day and marvel at what he may consider the inaccu. racies of the map makers of to-day. But it is comforting to think that dur. ing the present generation at least we shall keep Cape Cod with us.

STAYING GREEDY SEA
10 STOP EATING AWAY OF MAS
 x sAoHUsETTS COAST LINE.
Government Experts at Work Con structing Sand Catchers" to Pre-
 vent the Total Destruction of the End of Cape Cod.

When the mighty forces of nature combine to rob man of his heritage, the latter sets his skill and learning to work to stay the relentless destroying hand. There is a heroic battle on at the present time away down on Cape Cod, and as to the outcome of the strug- gle with the mighty and relentless ocean one can only conjecture, but, as human skill has so often conquered na- ture before, it is more than probable that in this instance the government engineer in charge of the work will be victorious. Storm and tides have re- peatedly swept through the sand dunes, and have already made an island of that part of the tip end of Cape Cod between Abel hill and the Point light, and where the destruction will stop if something is not done is hard to tell. And not only is the land being swallowed up, but the heading waters are carrying the sand and depositing 1t in the harbor at that point.
 In view of all this the government has large force of men, under the di- rection of Edward Atkins, of the United States engineers office of Bos- ton, constructing sand catchers" to hold the shifting soil in its place. Ever since the memorable gale of November, 1898, when the sea broke through the beaches at Abel hill, the need of the sand catchers" has become more and more apparent. esa ..
 These sand catchers" are construct ed of heavy planking. bolted together and laid in the beach in such way as as to prevent the waters lifting the sands and carrying them off. It is ex- pensiye work, even with planking, and already over s5,o0O have been ex- pended in the work and only begin ming has been made. The sand catch CTS" are placed about 25 feet apart from low water mark to the sanA dunes, and along the shore great boxes 90 feet in length of varying width are built and filled with sand. This makes quite a solid bulkhead and the boxes being practically water tight, the sand cannot escape. In speaking of the work, the engineer said that the only permanent way of doing the work was by constructing stone bulkheads.
 It seems that the ice of the winter causes the greatest amount of trouble Forming on the shore as it does, il cuts great holes in the beaches when 1t moves with the tides, and the sea then continues the work of destruc ton by boring under the sand dune: and washing them away. The higf tides then rush over the beaches. g channel is quickly formed and thou sands of tons of sand are carried to the low lands and the harbor beyond and deposited there. ...
 Engineer Atkins is not altogether certain of the wisdom-of building th' bulkheads of wood, for says he: ,s..
 The heavy seas kicked up by th' winter gales, together with the grea mountains of ice which pile up alonl the coast, damage the wooden sant
