Pink elephants the hoops jumped through
as damsels fair they rode;
Clowns chanted sacred melodies; while
snakes the mark all toed.
The striped leopards played tune; the
spotted tigers danced,
While all around the dog-faced boys were
putting on their pants!
The hippo swung the high trapeze with
strange agility;
The huge giraffe waltzed with the dwarf;
the sorry chimpanzee
Spoke words Of weight; the hard-head
man cracked jokes OF ancient mein;
The acrobats rode in wheeled chairs
across the vision keen.
Euuestriennes on water wagons nearly
tumbled down:
Hyenas cried in many keys; the juggler
cracked his crown.
The trick mule was so easy for a rider,

That any fool could guess that had just

FOURTEEN LIVES LOST
FIRES TERRIBLE WORK AT CANA
 DIAN CONVENT.
One Nun, Nine Children and Four old Women Perish in FIames-Sis- ter Marie Adjuteus's He-
 rOIc Efforts at Rescue.

Montreal, April 21.-The little will Iage of St. Genevieve is mourning to- night over the loss of fourteen lives in a fire which destroyed the convent or St. Anne there early today. One nun, nine children ranging in age from 10 to Is years, and four old women per ished in the flames. Two nuns were so severely burned that 1t Is feared they will die. In their grief over the ca tastrophe the villagers find some com fort in relating the heroic efforts dis played by Sister Marie Adjuteus. who gave her life, and Sisters Marie The rese and Marie Robertine, who were perhaps fatally burned, in their efforts to save the lives of the children and helpless old women in their charge.
 There Is no organized fire protection in the village. The fire, which started at an early hour in the morning, was beyond control by the time the sleeping people could be aroused. bucket bri- gade was formed, but the efforts to check the flames were futile and the quaint old structure was reduced to ashes. Sisters Marie Theresc and Marie Robertine were rescued with diff ficuIty from the hallway, where they had fallen, overcome by the smoke and flames.
 The following is the revised list of dead and injured:
 Dead. Sister Marie Adjuteus, music mistress, 32 years of age; Amanda Ga raud of St. Genevieve, aged 10 years; Bertha Tesser of Isle Bizara, IS; Mar celine Villemaire of Montreal, Il; Irene Bertrand of St. Geneviere, II; Adele RobttaiIle of St. GenevIeve. 9; Parmelia Dugas of St. Genevieve.

I the college teams this year. In part Bailey says:
 T think will have a pretty fair team when I get through with them. | know that in Sparkman have one of the best college pitchers in the South, and Carroll Is also a good man. I have a good catcher and a pretty good inc field, but my outfield is weak, and the team is little weak at the bat, but is improving right along"
 Bailey will stay with the Sewanee club until May 6, leaving the coIlegians at Nashville, where they play Wander bilt. The veteran pitcher may then go back into the box either in the South ern League or the Cotton States League He has had several good offers and if he is in the condition he hopes for by the time he leaves Sewanee he will ac- cept something perhaps in the South ern League.
 Bailey is developing the spit ball, and in good condition he is still a val- uable man for any minor league.
 Selma fans will observe his move- ments with a great deal of interest, as there was perhaps never a more popular baseball player than Lem Bai- ley.
