THE CIRCUS
BEAUTIFUL
Sells FIOlO SHOW A Great Combination
Of things Beautiful

"The Circus Beautiful Is a popu-
lar title its owners have given the
Zig sells-Floto Shows, which exhibit
in Chickasha, Monday, August 10, and
there is a pretty story as to how the
christening came about.
"A sweet little girl, who had no faith
er or mother to take her to the cir
Gus, and who perhaps wouldn't have
seen one yet but for the generosity 81
the Ios Angeles Examiner and the
Sells-Floto managers, suggested the
name.
When the Sells-Floto show was in
Los Angeles, 5000 poor and orphan
ehildrel saw the show as the guests
Of the Examiner and the circus man
ayers. Among this great crowd one
little girl was unusually interested
and this is how writer for the Ex-
aminer described her:
The last sillIen acrobat had bowed
his way out s. the ring; the painted
clown had rSised his last BIG laugh
and gone away to wash off the chalk
and the band had stopped playing. The
circus was over and 5000 tired little
guests Of the Examiner were trooping
through the exits.
zone little girl stopped to take her
last look at the great gray elephants
looming through the dust Of the me
nagerie tent. She was not a pretty
little girl in a dainy white frock; not
like the little girl at your house. She
was dressed in the gingham Of an or
phan asylum and the touch Of a moth
er's hand was missing. The little girl
at your house never missed a circus;
this little girl had never seen one be-
fore. From beginning to end it had
been a delightful dream; one that
lasted through long afternoon. Per-
haps you remember your first circus
when all the tinseI was pure gold and
the spangles silver.

Telegraph Operators and Companies

New York, Aug. 15.-Both sides
continue to claim the decided advan-

many Of the striking operators have
applied for their old places only to
be refused by the companies, while the
union men at the head Of the strike
emphatically deny that any union men

A Doomed British Naturalist.

Those of us who as boys used to dote
on the Rev. j. G. WOODS Homes With
out Hands" will be sorry for his son, the
Rev. THEODORE WOOD Of W~andsworth,
London, s. w. His fate, however, de-
serves no sympathetic tear. In a rash,
intruding he has attacked the
leading z~oologist, indeed the leading
pantologist OF the world; and we smell
the blood of that Englishman.
Only the other day the leading zoologist,
settling the matter for all time, wrote
with scorn of the tale of a woodcock de
scribed as making a kind of mud splint
for it's broken leg. TheWandsworth vicar,
who imagines himself to be a naturalist,
cites cases, recorded by nj. FATIo and
NJ. MAGNIN, of snipe that have bound UP
broken legs by ligatures Of one sort and
another, and he would argue from snipe
to woodcock. Mr.. WOODS prejudiced
insular u~nscientific method Of thought
may be judged from this distressing
assertion:

man. but the fact that he Is President Of the United

Their comic sbeurdities, their distor-
tons of facts, their deliberate invention.
perversion OF fact, their ignorance and
utter recklessness must be proclaimed
officially by the greatest living naturalist

DesertiOns From the Army.

In his report dealing with assertions
from the Army Major-General A. W.
GREEDY gives ten causes. As long ago
as 1888 General W. Il. SHERMAN thought
it was sufficient to give one. He said
that the day was past when a soldier
was content to live in dugouts on
weighed and measured rations Of bread,
meat, potatoes and "a gill Of whiskey
a day, while the farmer, mechanic and
laboring man had a good house and a
table provided with plain food without
stint. General SHERMAN was speaking
of the soldier on post and frontier duty.
The soldier in garrison has quarters,
but he is often cramped and he shares
them with others. His rations are about
the same as they were in 1883, although
he can add TO them out OF his savings.
His w~hiskey-that is to say, the canteen-
has been taken from him. Concerning
the closing Of the canteens General
GEORGE b. LOUD Of Massachusetts said
the other day:
- believe that when the W. G. T. L. brought
abou, the abolition OF the cAnteen It pretty nearly
wiped out all the great good It had done for years
against the liquor evn."
General SHERMAN's one cause of de-
sertion looms larger than ever in these
fat days Of a two dollar wage for the
unskiiled laborer and from four to six
dollars for the mechanic. As for the
farmland, he is asking from sl.75 to
81 a day and keep" in New England.
General SHERMAE's first great cause, to
which he did not add, we identify in the
first cause of desertion given by General
GREEDY: Small pay, especially for nom
commissioned officers, and high wages in
civil life" Among others which stand
WI sharply in his list are: lack Of can
teen, excessive amount of non-military
work, probable Immunity from punish
ment for desertion, hardships incurred
during long practice marches, isolation
Of certain posts and consequent lack of
amusements.
The canteen should be restored; it is
little less than criminal, it is certainly
immoral, TO deny the soldier light beer
and even spirits under proper ~restric-
tions. Too much non-military work is
required OF the enlisted man. 1t is all
very well to dismiss his complaint by
saying that the work must be done,
but when he is called upon to dig and
sweep, and fetch and carry. and do the
scavenger and hard manual labor of a
post he is momentarily reminded that he
could earn four times az much at such
work Is the Government pays him, and
would have n military duties TO do
besides. The condition Of the soldier
would be vastly improved and his con-
tentment measurably increased, il he
ever feels contented in these flush days,

him by raising his wage to that Of the
unskilled laborer who has no rations and
has quarters provided for him by the
Government, but the pay scale should be
made more attractive to the class from
which recruits are drawn. Practice
marches occur too frequently; il they are
to be continued there should be a reduc-
ton Of other routine work. The SOL
dier's ~recreations should receive more
attention from the War Department.
They order these things better in Eng
land. Having made the service more
desirable and human, the Government
should then make the punishment for
desertion fit the crime. We suspect the
authorities Of half hearted pursuit of
deserters, knowing that there is some
provooation to take French leave. Be-
tween June 30, 1870, and June 30, 1905, a
period Of thirty-five years. there were.
according to Leutenant-Co Colonel H. c.
CARBAUGH, Judge Advocate of the army,
10000 deserters who were never cap
tured, and until 1898, the year Of the war
with Spain, u army consisted Of only
5000 men. There is something wrong
with the army, in spite Of the protesta-
tions, suspiciously fervent. Of a certain
high officer, or one-sixth Of the soldiers
would not leave the oolors every year.
The remedy lies with Congress.
