Bonheur Bros. Golden Mascot Shows.

Comes this year enlarged, inn
proved and bettered in every par
ticular. They have added many
new features that are not to be
seen except at a cost of a trip to
great cities; chief among which
are the realistic, beautiful and
enhancing reproductions of that
awful disaster, the eruption of
Mount Pelee and the obstruction
of the city of St. Pierce on the
isle of Martinique, being operated
and produced by costly and eff
Gent electrical effects requiring
nearly mile of beautifully col
ored films. In the children's
department may be seen the most
beautiful lilliputian ponies in
amazing acts and features; the
cutest dogs in all the world in
tricks that have never heretofore
been considered possible; the
amusing little monkeys with such
expressive faces resembling the
elfinmen of fairy tales and the
solemn faced balloons in reckless
race riding and comic hurdle
leaping on the backs of the pig
my ponies competing with skill
full bare back riding dogs, and
last but not least comes Master
Billie and Mrs. Nanny Goat and
their whole family in a school of
human like capers. This con-
gress of animal wonders and
scientific demonstrations have
decided to give one performance
in Broken Bow on Friday night,
August IS. Admission Is and
IS cents.
Remember only one perior-
nance and. that at g p. III. and
Aug. IS, is the date.
A high dive performance from
a tall Jacobs ladder will be a
free outside attraction before the
show begins. Come to the show
lot at 7:30 and witness this high
dive free of charge. If it should
look like rain do not hesitate, as
the tents are all new and water
proof and ample seating capacity
is provided for all.

Editor The Call: In line with the
agitation toward improvement of the
streetcars of this city a suggestion is
offered to the United Railroads. which,
if carried out in these showery days.
will add greatly to the convenience II
not to the health of the travelling COM
munity.
So far as is apparent no provision
is made by the corporation to remove
the rain which falls on the outside
seats of it's cars, that very necessary
duty being left entirely to the absorp-
ton and natural heat provided by the
tired citizen, who chooses temporary
rest at the expense of a possible cold
and pneumonia. The concave forma-
ton of the seats is peculiarly fitted for
holding the water and about half of
the seating capacity of the car is ex-
posed to the weather.

TO KEEP YOUNG

Keep in the sunlight; nothing beau
tiful or sweet grows or ripens In the
darkness.
Avoid fear in all it's varied forms of
expression. 1t Is the greatest enemy of
the human race.
Avoid excesses of all kinds; they are
Injurious. The long life must be a
temperate, regular life.
Don't live to eat, but eat to live.
Many of our ills are due to overeating.
to eating the wrong things and to ir-
regular eating.
Don't allow yourself to think on
your birthday that you are a year
older and so much nearer the end.
Never look on the dark side; take
sunny views of everything; sunny
thought drives away the shadows.
Be child; live simply and naturally
and keep clear of entangling alliances
and complications of all kinds.
Cultivate the spirit of contentment;
all discomfort and dissatisfaction bring
age burrows prematurely to the face.
Form a habit of throwing off before
going to bed at night all the cares and
anxieties of the day-eyerything which
can possibly cause mental wear and
tear or deprive you of rest.-Chicago
News.

Suddenly the train shot into tun-

down the aisle toward her. His look

ment. He tried to explain, but she
looked steadily out the window and
said in that icy tone of finality, which
is an offended woman's last weapon:
But you have been over the road be-

He pleaded in vain and finally went
back to smoke. No sooner had he
gone than the train entered another
tunnel. He nearly reached her this
time, but daylight caught him again.
Everybody else in the car laughed.
They both looked around in surprise.
Then the humor of it dawned on them
and they laughed, too. He decided not

In the white and gold ballroom of the
st. Francis one of the brilliant private
balls of the winter was given with Mrs.
George Whittell and Miss Florence
Whittell as the hostesses.
The guests were received in the
drawing-room adjoining the ballroom,
where great punches of carnations
stood about in brass vases. Fair, in
all truth, was the young hostess in
fetching frock of white chiffon satin
and gold. displaying a superb poise,
gained, of course, from the big out-ot-
doors-wherein Miss Whitten spends
most Of her waking hours.
The guests, numbering about one
hundred, arrived at the late hour, re-
Gently established as good form. And
It was not until nearly midnight that
the ball was in full swing.
Preceding the dance the hostess en-
tertained thirty friends at dinner,
mostly Of the Burlingame set. AS at
the ball, the dinner was a gay affair
and superb in appointments. American
beauty roses and a wildwood OF fern
graced the table, with a sweet witchery
of light falling from ruby shades.
Indisputably is the whittell affair
the smart affair of the week-almost OF
the month.
Buttercups and daisies. baby-blue-
eyes and whispering grasses, all fresh
from the warm breast of nature,
bobbed and bowed a welcome to the
two fair visitors to California, Miss
Katherine McCann and Miss May
Deering, who gathered yesterday about
the luncheon board as the guests OF
Miss Jennie Blair.
A wise thought, this-introducing to
visitors from frozen-up Gotham these
blossoms that grow wild and unheeded
on the hills about the bay. This
voiceless tribute to the prodigality of
our climate will impress the wanderers
as no words could or would.

THOSE WET STREET CAR SEATS.

The number of cars run is not suf-
ficient to provide inside seats for all
passengers, even though they are dis
posed to ride inside, and they are thus
confronted with the alternative Of sit
ting on a wet and sloppy seat or
of standing. In the case of the cable
cars If passengers elect to stand they
have the added annoyance of having
their collars serve as drain pipes for
what is left of the latest shower.
The matter could be very easily
remedied by the company's instructing
the car employees to clean the seats
after each rainfall. Failure to do so
as at present is simple neglect and
does not show the attention to the
rights of a traveller that it is incum-
bent upon a common carrier to fur
nish. GEORGE DAILY RIDER. :

w lnes morning shs the ssan es~p ras msSs%es-
ped in silence. Far away to
the east streak of gold her
aided the coming day. He paused for
a moment to watch a flock of geese
high above his head. winging their
way southwark and listening to their
hoarse cries drifting down through
the still morning AIR.
The giant pines stood grim and
black against the sky and the little
group of log shelters seemed timid
pygmies nesting beneath them for
protection. There was a touch of
frost in the air which set the mans
teeth chattering. He picked up his
gun and strode briskly through the
underbrush toward the little pond
some rods back of the camp.
1t was an ideal morning for black
duck, and unless he was vastly mis-
taken, he told himself. there should
be quite a flock of them paddling
about the pond. He jammed a shell
into either barrel of the gun and
swapping the breech shut, he began to
move cautiously through the woods,
carefully avoiding the broken twigs
lest the noise of his footsteps should
alarm his quarry.
The last few yards between the
camp and the pond he covered on his
hands and knees, creeping silently for
ward and pausing now and then to
peer through the half light and listen
intently.
When finally he reached the pond
the band of gold along the eastern
horizon had widened and the light
was considerably stronger. There were
the ducks, just as he had expected.
In the middle of the pond was a large
black figures lay quietly on the sur
face of the water.
Very cautiously he raised the gun,
took a long, cool aim at the nearest
birds and pulled the left barrel. To
his unbounded amazement not a bird
rose from the nearest group; the large
flock in the, middle of the pond rose
with a great Tapping of wings and
hoarse croaks of alarm. He fired at
them with the right barrel, but the
distance was too great for the shot to
infiict any apparent damage on the
retreating flock.
He jumped to his feet and stood
staring at the dozen black dots still
motionless on the water. To his in
