Sparks Show Made Good.

John Ii. Sparks, SfIow gave two
splendid performances in Henderson,
Friday. Sparks always makes good
and tie reputation established by
the show On previous visits was fully
sustained la fact the show is better
this season than usual if anything.
They gave a clean, first-class per-
forrnance-not an inferior act on the
entire progran-while several very
strong features were introduced.
The opening act was leaping and
somersaulting from an Old fashion
springboard by portion of the COM
pany. This was followed by the in
evitable clown song by Billie Reed
above the age-who did much to
amuse the crowd by his comic acts
and drOll sayings between times.
Taking the program somewhat in
the order III which they came those
deserving OF special mention were the
EIliotts on the triple bars; slack wire,
Alton; balancing trapeze, Mile.
Viola; flying rings, Miss Lizzie Elliott;
double trapeze- kaDell sisters; Mil
lette troupe OF acrobats; head bal
ancing trapeze, Alton; single trapeze,
Mile. Zou; Barbecue, the kicking
poney; elephant Mary and baby; the
educated ponies; Cyclone, the throw
ing mule, and last but not least, Al
Heinze, Edgar Bergar, Billy Reed and
Bert Cole, the cold clowns
1T was "a good show throughout
and the universal verdict was that
Sparks gave his patrons a square
deal
The people connected with the show
from the management down were
quiet and courteous in their conduct,
free from the rough element and graft
characteristic of SO many Organiza-
tions of the kinda fact upon which
Mr.. Sparks prides himself Press
Agent Shay was extremely clever and
made friends for himself and his show
of all with whom he came in contact.
Mrs ID. {. Loughlin and her son
Mr.. Charlie Loughlin, professionally
the Castellos) joined the show here
and it is safe to say that their great
bareback riding acts will be surpass-
ed by no artists with any circus this
season. Master Edward Loughlin,
Familiarity known among his chums
as "Scrubby," accompanied his moth

1t isn't raining rain to me.
It's raining daffOdils
In every dimpled drop see
Flowers on the distant hills.
The murky clouds engulf the day,
And OverWhelm the town:
1t ism t raining rain to me.
It's raining roses down.
1t ism, t raining rain to me.
But fields of clover blooms.
Where every buccaneering bee
May find a bed and rooms.
A health unto the happy,
And a fig to him who frets;

RELIGION IN BUSINESS

Rev. r. l.. Bivins proved a very
pleasant after dinner speaker at
the Board of Trade banquet. His
topic was F'Religion in bust
ness" His thoughts were tersely
expressed, and within the compass
OF few minutes the truth was
driven home that true religion
does not impair the ability of q
business man or interfere with his
prospects of success in commercial
life. The practical application Of
Christian principles, in the admin
istration of business, it was shown,
was not only possible but adyisa
BILE. The professions of religion
can be steadfastly practiced and
success achieved without deyjating
in the slightest degree from The
teachings of Christ.
In day where there is so much
tendency TO depart from the
path ofabsolute rectitude and take
'sshort cuts" TO wealth it is well
TO impress such great elemental
truths on the mind of the business
world. Mr.. Bivin's remarks were
in excellent taste and conveyed
their lessons pleasantly but none
the less forcefully.

RoNILLA WARS IN AUTOMOBILE.
Honduran President Makes Campaign
In Motor Car.

Puerto Cortez, Hondurac, March 8,
via New Orleans, March 13.-Pres-
ident Bonilla, of Honduras, is con-
Quoting operations at the front with
the aid of an automobile. Although
his troops are two days march from
Tegucigalpa, their capitol, the COM.
mander is able to reach it in few
hours.
The strategic positions of the Hon
duran and Nicaraguan armies is de-
scribed as follows in official dispatch
es from Tegucigalpa:
The army of Honduras has taken
position facing the Nicaraguan from
tier, and is deployed in a line includ-
inc five principal divisions, each oc-
cupying a town or important road.
President Bonilla is in Command at one
end of this line, at Choluteca, where
he has nearly 900 men. The STRAIT
egic value of Choluteca lies IN part in
the fact that it is within one days
march from Salvador, and that the
army of Salvador, according to the
terms Of the mutual alliance between
the two countries, is bound to aid
Honduras in case of war.
Nicaragua's line of battle has been
pushed forward past the frontier and
into Honduran territory. 1t has oc-
cupied the towns of San Marcos de
CoIona and Namasigue. Within the
last two days, however, the Nicara-
guans' outposts were driven back from
Namasigue.
Both armies have thrown out ad-
vance parties Of 100 to 800 men each,
and all the encounters reported up to
this time have been between these
small bands The Namasigue fight
was of this character. Exaggerated
reports have termed several Of these
skirmishes battles, but in fact, no
important engagement has yet been
fought
