ELEPHANTS HELP TO
SET UP CIRCUS TENTS
BIG PARADE WILL TRAVERSE
STREETS TODAY
Thousands Watched the Canvas City
Arise as If by Magic-First Per-
formance Will Be Given This Aft
ernoon in Prayer Park

"What would we do without the ele
and shove"
II. S. Rove of the Greater Norris G.
Rowe circus menagerie and hippo
drome, has not only his elephants, but
all his other animals trained to a fin
lsh, and this was proved when the big
circus rolled into town early yester-
day morning before daylight in it's
fifty-two big double cars, and put up
or the Southern Pacific siding reserved
for it.
Then it was that the circus boys
got busy" and the elephants too.
Apparently the confusion was just
awful" but that was only bluff,
and every elephant knew his place.
the trained horses almost harnessed
themselves and soon the whole show
was trekking for Prayer park, where
it will be for four days with two per-
formances and a street parade every
day beginning this morning.
The elephants just showed the big
heavy wagons along as though they
liked it, for they knew there was
feed at the end. But there We're
some of the horses who did not have
any work to do, on the contrary they
were cared for almost like babies
These We're the trick horses and the
fine Arabian trained stallions.,
The two beautiful Arabians in the
cut are of high blood and "can do
all but talk" Sitting at ease on one
of them is Ed. V. Hocum, champion
bareback rider. He really seems able
to stick to a horse like a fly to the
wall, only more so, for ne never flies
away.
Thousands of people went to Prayer
park Sunday and watched the big. tents
go up like magic. They gathered
around the cook tent and saw a ton
or two of beefsteak and chops dis
appear. They couldn't see the lions,
because it was their day off, but un-
doubtedly they appreciated their shin
bone menu Just the same. But you
can see the lions any time these four
days as they receive" at Prayer
mark.

RANCHER FLAGS
THE OWL TRAIN
WITH, LANTERN IN HAND HERO
PATROLS TRACK
Mrs. Herman oelrichs Was One OF
the Passengers on the Endan-
aered Southern Pacific Cars
Saved from Wreck

The Southern Pacific had another
very lucky escape from wreck Satur-
day morning when the Owl was stopped
within a hundred feet of a bad wash
out.
The rancher who has charge of the
Tevis ranch, north of Bakersfield, heard
the rush of water and telephoned to the
nearest station that men should be sent
TO investigate the track. He then took
his lantern and walked down the track
md found that the ballast was
washed out from under the track
for several hundred feet, leaving the
rails and ties suspended in the air.
Within few minutes he noticed the
headlight of an oncOming train. ituii-
ming toward the light he succeeded in
tagging the train, which was the Owl,
with his lantern when it was within
hundred feet of the bad track.
But for his timely discovery it is very
likely that the train would have been
wrecked and disaster would have en-
sued. for 1t was closely followed by a
freight train which the brakemen on
the Owl tagged.
The Washout was one and half
miles north of Farmoso, Where the
track runs for long distance through
the Tevis ranch, which is controlled
by the Kern County Land company
The train reached Los Angeles at
o'clock Saturday afternoon, eight hours
late.
On the train were several noted peo-
pie.
Mrs. Herman Oelrichs of the east had
an apartment in the second Pullman
from the engine. Mrs. Oelrichs has re-

Brown, of Orion, Mich, came to
visit us. She had not been able to
dress herself or comb her own hair
for months. A friend of ours came
in and seeing her suffering offered
her some DR.. Miles Anti-Pain
Pills. She laughed at the idea OF
relief from such a source after
doctoring for so long, but took one
one of the tablets with the remark
that it would at least do her no
harm. She took another that
evening, and the next morning she
was so elated that she went to the
druggists and got a package and
took them home with her. Re-
Gently she was here again, and told
us that she continued taking the
pills, and that one box cured her,
and she has not had symptom OF
rheumatism since"

THE theory of natural selection" says G. A. B.
Dewar in Tho CornhiIl Magazine" does not
account for the way in which the care of animals
for their offspring arose in particular 10 the pre-
cautions taken by two insects. sexton beetles and
sphexes for the future welfare of their young.
The case of the various spheXes is perhaps the
most amazing in natural history. but it is by no
means the most touching. The female sphex digs
long passage and forms at the end several
chambers. in each of which she lays an egg. Then
she goes and captures a caterpillar or a cricket
She does not Kill lhe prey outrght-which she
could do with ease-but paralyzes il by singing il
in a carefully selected and non-vital part. In each
chamber she places a paralyzed insect which will
linger alive till the eggs hatch. and the young
sphexes find ready hand. a supply of fresh
meat!

a wave IN pool the song spread throughout
the great auditorium. Then one national air
after another sung. Still the rain beat
upon the roof. The interior of the auditorium
had become hot and sticky. for the doors and
windows had been closed when the shower came
up. On opposite sides of the balcony were the
students of the two collegiate institutions or
Lexington. The closeness of the air had made
them restless. One of the groups started up a
song. The students of the other college tried
to drown the sound OF the rival. 1t in turn
began singing, only to be hooted at by the first
group. The students were bOisterous by the
time the shower ceased, half an hour after IT
began.
The speaker again addressed the audience. He
showed no annoyance at the demonstrations, but
tactfully and goodnaturedlv remarked. II there
are any in the house who desire to speak would
be glad to have them come TO the platform.
The students took the hint, and the speaker
added: Now that the controversy with nature

HIS SENSE OF HUMOR.

Mr.. Ogden's sense OF humor and his resource
fulness give delightful tone to the atmosphere
of these conference and to the many addresses
he makes elsewhere His humor expresses itself
usually in happy characterizations and COM
ments, rather than in stories. although he some
times uses stories as illustrations. This one
