The elephant now goes round
The band begins to play,
The boys around the monkey cage

The elephant now goes round
The band begins to play,
The boys around the monkey cage
They better keep away

AS has been noted by more gifted
pen than ours, every thing goes in
the Chatting Dish" so we have decid-
ed to let her went.
The poetical gem at the head of
this column reminds US of the days of
our youth and the days of our youth
remind US to instruct all parents to
allow their children every facility for
arising at a. m. on circus day. The
unloading is really the best part of
the show and it costs nothing but
little sleep. 1t is at the unloading
time that the boy gets acquainted
with the elephant in a personal and
intimate way. it is then that he can
wonder at the camel's hump at short
range without some grown-up Juggling
at his hand and urging him to "come
along' and to "look OUT and to
sstay close by Mama"
We have mathematical problem
for the readers of the chatting dish.
Chas. Voss, A. F. Boylan, Ray
mond Conner. Leslie Gulick and Lou
Sewell went to Vail last week in
the new REQ. At Vail they found
that they did not have enough gasoline
to get home. Voss went through
his clothes and found that he had
only dime. The other members Of
the party dug up and they found that
the combined capital of the crowd
amounted to forty-one cents. This
was enough however and the suisse
quent Proceedings show that there must
have been master financier in the
crowd. Out of their forty-one cents
they spent forty cents for gasoline
and got back to Denison with two
cents. This is explained by Leslie
Gulick as follows; He had one cent
in his pocket and then-there was the
scent of the automobile.
OF course figures cannot lie. That
is will established fiction. But if
any one will compare the figures of
the Sioux City Journal and the Regis
ter and Leader on the Governorship
problem they will begin to think that
there is prevaricator some place.
Music hath charms to sooth the savage
breast.
If this is true why is it that must
clans have more trouble to live in
harmony than any other class of PEG.

more applicable to bands and orches.
tras than to any one else. 1t must
be that the soothing applies to listen
ers only.
All Denison needs to become ar
ideal residence place is water. If We
had good boating, fishing and bathing
vast amount would be added to oul
enjoyment of life. There is splendid
chance to form fine artificial lake
near the forks of the East and Wes1
Boyers. When the Improvement Com
pany has completed the hotel and the
opera house we would advise that at
tention be directed toward making
Denison summer resort. We are
informed that few thousand dollars
would do it.
The Review has been trying to put
in cement walk this week. The
workmen are ready and the cement is
on the ground but the trouble is with
the grade. 1t is the most delusive
thing we have ever tried to capture.
