ALL OUT FOR BIG CIRCUS

A bunch of brand new babies is due here Saturday morning. These babies are not to be put in any foundlings home because each one is accompanied by. it's mamma, who would make things exceed ingly interesting for anybody who dis turbed her darling child. 1he new babies do not cry at night and they do not eat the paint off their dolls.
 One reason for this exemplary conduct is that they have no dolls, and instead of crying at night they howl. shriek or trumpet as the case may be. Any fla. dweller residing in the same building with them would rather have a whole public school turned loose under the window than single ons of these in- fants.
 They are jurnior members of the Ring ling Bros. worlds greatest circus; they are the -four hundred of the circus menageries on account of the children and are guarded with as much anxiety as is shown for a human baby. They are as hard to get and hard to keep.
 The kitten tigers and cub lions roll and frolic together with the best of good feeling. When they get a little older their savage traits will begin to show and they will go to live by themselves. The little lions were spared the sad fate of two lit- tie ones that came before them, because the keeper took pains to see that the mother lion had as much meat as she wanted every day in the week. When the mother was deprived of meat on Sunday, after the little ones came, she Killed her young.
 These newest baby lions have grown nntil now they are strong enough to make trouble for the old lady if she tried to make a lunch of them. Forty ele- plants, three giraffes. rhnoceros, taplr. jungle and forest creatures are in the Ringing Bros. menageries, but the baby department, with cub lions tigers, hyena kangaroo, llama and elephant, will prob- ably prove the greatest attraction.
 The four special trains conveying the big Ringing circus of 1200 people, 67o horses, 100 animal dens and cages, parade floats and charots, plenty of provisions and endless variety of properties are scheduled to arrive here early Saturday morning. The circus is to be here Satur- day and will give two performances-aft- ernoon and evening. It will also parade through the principal streets in the fore noon.
 The parade will leave the Smith park show grounds Saturday morning at Id 0 clock. There are l2S0 people connected with the circus and nearly all of these will have some part in the procession. Most of the animal dens will be open and the admirers of pedigree horse flesh will find much to please.
 Forty numbering elephants, supporting gaily dressed thrones, 20 numbering camels. richly colored floats and chariots, smartly gowned women riders, squadrons of cavalry, fun making clowns, Algerian musicians, military bands, men riders in bucksliin and satin, the children's me nagerie, fairyland ideals, typical group ings of the nations or the world, and many other features, some familiar and others novel. will be woven into the three miles of circus pageantry.
