Paris, at least, is enjoying novelties
in the vaudeville line even If other
cities may be bored by stale acts. The
French are leading all other countries
in the production of unique acts.
One of the startling feats accom-
plished by performer has won him
brief fame. He is an acrobat who
after many difficult feats, finally places
a candle on top of table ana stands
upside down with one hand only on
the candle, balancing himself in thai
position.
Three Japanese performers have i'm
proved and maze more daring the old
circus "slide for life" the three coast
ing down a slightly Stacked wire at 9
terrible angle to the stage.
There is an Indian juggler discov
cred by some enterprising Partisan
vaudeville manager, who walks the
slack wire and, while balancing there
performs the most difficult tricks o
juggling-feats which the ordinary
performer would not attempt on thu
solid floor.
But above them all In popular raYo
stands the juggler who is declared Il
be the most wonderful that has ap
peared in Paris for a long time. HI

AHablt to Be Encouraged.

The mother who has acquired the
habit of keeping on hand a bottle OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, saves
herself a great amount of uneasiness
and anxiety. Coughs, colds and
Group, to which children are 'suscept-
ible are quickly cured by its use. 1t
counteracts any tendency of cold
to result in pneumonia, and if given
it soon as first symptoms of Group
appear, it will prevent the attack.
This remedy contains nothing injuri-
Gus and mothers give it to little ones
with feeling of perfect security.

The country at large, understanding
somewhat of the sources OF the current

Presidents policies, will not be surprised
at anything that may be said regarding
what has thus far been done ON the

be asserted: Q) We have entered upon

the President responsible for it; (3) there
nave been no mistakes that need arouse
suspicion or cause anxiety. The original
