UNCLE sAM'S WASTEFUL PRINT
 ING OFFICE.

As to the cost of fedzral printing, Mir. Ros=iter estimates thar, if the present rates of increase in Outlav for printing continue during the current decade. the total for the ten years from 1900 to 1909, inclusive. vii exceed s6O, coo. O.OOO-a greater sum than was ex- uended for all federal printing from 179O to 1SSO He shows from statis- tice that the per capita cost of federal printing Ils increased steadily during the century. MT. Rossiter gives a ta.- ble showing the cost of documents, classified by topics, in the years 1870, 1880. 1890 and 1900. The increasc is striking. Thus. in 1870 the printing of scientific and descriptive works for the government cost the sum of S5.514 and in 1900 this item amounted to s362.633 Statistical documents in 1870 cost s3.134 and in IS9O $7S,661. Industrial documents showed an in crease in cost of from S401 to $72,077. The increase in the cost of senate and house documents is from $159,O8s to $976.6S9.
 l. appears that the cost of public printing and binding has long been higher than the charge for similar commercial work. MT. Rossiter de-

A NATURAL CURIOSITY.

Prof D. P. Cropp, of the Uuivesity of Colorado, has invented a machine that increases the height from one to five inches, and the chest girth from one to four inches.
 Tt is amazing" said Prof. Cropp, the ether day, what an interest peo- pie take in any change in their physique-the gain of an inch around the chest or forearm, the loss of an inch in the neck or stomach.
 "I know of a fat woman who spent July at the seashore, taking an ocean bath and a hot bath daily, so as to re- duce her weight.
 "The day she was to leave for home, she entered a butcher shop and told the old man to cut her off twenty pounds of pork.
 He cut and weighed this great lump Of meat and said:
 |" Where, madam. shall I send it?'
 But the woman, as she feasted her eyes on the pork, said:

THE BIG CIRCUS.

The big show comes today-MOuday is Circus Day,
 The sense Of exhiliaratiou that sweeps over the community at this an uouucement is not confined to the small boy, nor t0 the small boys big brother.
 It is a popular and legitimate thing for batter familas to hem" and "haw' a little when asked if he is going to the circus, and finally admit in a half deprecating way, that he twill prob ably nave to go and see-tne animals" But. way down in his heart. unless that useful member is warped and caIlous- ed beyond all hope of recovery. there is a sense of jubuatiOu-a surEing of old feelings and old memolies-a perfect flood or recoUectiOus in which the one ring circus of other days, and Dan Rice, and Jim Robinson, the "ChampiOu rider Of the universe" and a long list of other famous ring celebrities. are photographed upon his mind in a com posite picture of other days. He may possibly say that the circus of these strenuous days, when there is so much to see that the spectator is constantly threatened with strabismus and men tai abberatiOu. is not 10 be compared with the oId-time circus. with a single clown, one elephant and a lonesome family of acrobat=, but, nevertheless. he wouldn't miss the show for twenty times the price of admission. and down in Lis heart he knows that he is a good-natUred hypocrite, and that he would "take in" the circus if there wasn't a boy this side of the North Pole.
 And SO, when the five long trains of cars used to transport the Baruum x Bailey Greatest show on Earth come rolling into the city, one after the oth- CT. the curious army of greeting will not be confined to the small boy. Not much; father will be there, and mother, and the small boys big brother and big sister with few Uucles and aunts, and large contingent of the small boys neiGhbors. Why? Well that's some thing no one can explain. l. is the fas- cination, and that is part and parcel of the circus, and it is all that can be said about it.
 The show will pitch its tents on the Mcrbath property grounds As fast as the cars are unloaded, in the railroad yards the vans and wagons will be transferred to the exhibition grounds and the work of erecting the tents put in operation. This is one of the most interesting features incident to the ar rival of the big show. and always fur nisnes the crowd d great deal to see and marvel at. With the Barnum & Bailey circus this is true to an unusual extent, for the reason that the tents are the largest that have ever been con structed and require the heaviest poles ever utilized in a travelling exhibition. The center poles, particularly. are as heavy as any three poles used by or

diuary circuses. while their length is equal to the talest mast of an ocean, going sailing ship. Notwithstanding the great amount of canvas and the inn meuse height of the poles the tents will go up with almost incredible swift ness, and within two hours after the arrival of the first wagon on the snow lot the erstwhiIe barren field will be transformed into a veritabIe city of canvas, with all the life, hustle and novelty Of a great fair. The people who go to the show grounds to see these unWouted scenes. will need a dog en pairs of eyes. Everything is novel and interesting to the uniuitiated the housing Of the hundreds of sleek. we'll groomed horses; the erection of the meuagerie tent to protect rare and curious animals from possible indictment weather. and incidentally the eyes of the crowd; the work of the elephants. which are used to push the great vans and wagons into place; the commissary department with its great ranges on wheels. and it's dining tents with places for over one thousand guests" at a single sitting, the dressing tents. wnere the performers are inspecting their wardrobe and preparing for the exhl- bit.Ons; the mammoth hippOdrOme pa vilion. with it's wonderful seat plat forms and grand stand opera chairs and long rows of boxes. and triple rings and stages. and forest of aerial rigging for the performance of the fly ing meteOrs. Every way the visitor turns. there will be something new to see. and something novel and unex- pected to talk about.
 Everything will be in readiness for the free show which is to inaugurate the engagement. This remarkable ex- hibition will take place on the show grounds between 10:30 and Il a. m.. and will be repeated before the night show, between 5:20 and 6 o'clack It will be worth going miles to see. The Weitzmauns, who give it, have world wide fame.
 The initial performance will take place at 2 o'clock. and the final one at s D. m. X great circus company has been gathered from all parts of the world. The performance is preceded by beautiful spectacle entitled. "The Dunbar at Delhi" Then come the cir GUS members. including the great sen sationaI acts of Mile Mauricia de Tiers, who loops the gap in an auto mobile. and Volo, the Vokitant, who leaps the chasm on a bicycle.
 Owing to the immense amount of parapherualia to be handled in these sensational acts. they will be given in the early part of the program at the nigh, show.
 Reserved seats may be secured down town all day Monday, at the Berryhill Co.'S bookstore, and on the circus grounds at the opening hours.

COIN TO THE CIRCUS.

Coming home from the village one afternoon with his horse and buggy with the lines loose in his hand and lis thoughts fixed on his hay crop. JdOez Parker suddenly ran across something to attract his attention
 Two miles from home. and on a barn by the roaside, two men Were at work putting up circus posters. They had the front of the barn pretty well coy cred, and they finished their work as Jahez sat and looked at them.
 Those Were not the first circus pie lures he had ever saen-not by a long shot-but he realized that they were the first that had ever appealed to him for some reason.
 There were lions, tigers, elephants giraffes gaIIoping horses and what not. with a woman walking a tignt-rope and a clown making everybody laugh, and the good old man, who had never seen a circus in his life, even as a boy, sat there long after the men had de- parted and figured it all out in imag- nation Presently he heard a voice saying:
 'Durn my buttans, but I'm gO.n' to take in that circus or bust
 He reached home to unharness and go to work again, and he said nothing of what was on his mind until supper had been eaten and the milking done. Then, as he sat on the piazza with his old wife, he carelessly remarked:
 Ma, I see that George Williams barn is all covered with circus post CTS"
 And he a Christian man." gasped the wife.
 Wall, you know folks don't look at circuses the way they used to-"
 What do you mean by that, Jabez?"
 Why, a circus ain't considered wicked. I dunno as they ever was wicked, but folks used to think that way"
 q don't want to hear you taIkin' that way Jabez. The circus was al- ways wicked, and always will be. It's one of the broad roads Ieadin' down to perdition. If George Williams has let 'em post circus pictures on his barn. then his wife needn't send here again 10 bOrry my quilt frames or flat ins."
 I've never seen a circus" said Ja- hez after a while.
 And you never wiIl-not as long as you live with me"
 i've often wondered where the Wickedness comes in"
 Then you must be blind. Don't women. or things called women dress up in short skirts and ride hossbaCk and jump through hoops, Can you imagine anything any more wicked than that?'
 What makes you call that wick ed?"
 Because 1t is, and you know it. and there's no use to talk about it any more. If I thought you stopped this afternoon to look at them pictures"
 'I stopped a little while" admitted Jabez.
 "I thought I noticed great change in you as soon as you drove into the barnyard. Jabez Parker, don't you go and let Satin get his claws on you. That's the way he always begins, He
