A minister on giving up his
charge once said: Brethren, lhave
decided to leave this field of labor.
There are many reasons for this.
In the first place you do not love
me, for you have not paid me a
cent on last years salary; you do
not love each other, for there has
not been wedding in parish for
many, many months. God does
not love you, for there has not

you do not love God, for you are

labors now is expressing itself in
the most costly and longest street
parade that ever passed through
the streets of any city.
The program in the great exhib-
ition tent opens with new specta-
Gle. The acts that follow are all
European and of a great novelty
and variety. Of the 375 perform
ers, nearly 300 have never toured
America before. The climax of the
bill is the most daring and awful
exhibition of nerve and death-dar-
ing ever attempted. The act is
called "Autos that Pass in the Air"
As the name briefly explains. it is
the passing of two automobiles high
above the heads OF the people, while
leaping a SO foot gap. The velocity
is gained by lightning-like dash
down steep steel incline, one ma
chine hugging close behind the
other, A sharp upward terminal
of the track sends the automobiles
up into space. One gracefully ar
ches across the gap to spring
platform, the other turning com
plete somersault around it and land
ing behind it.
The circus this season numbers
1900 people; 700 horses, lo8 cages
of animals, 5 railroad trains, q
camels and nearly all the elephants
in America.
