CIRCUS A MEMORY
Always Money for This Show
 Regardless of ihe Times.

The circus has went" and the farmers have all gone home to go to seed until another popcorn, peanut and red lemonade day comes round.
 Although the attendance at the big show was not as large as in recent years, due no doubt to the number Of people out of work, 1t was by no means small. In fact circuses are so
 we'll attended year In and year out, | that the absence of few thousand people on an of year is scarcely no- 1 ticeable.
 The crowd was as "rube" like as ever and in some cases the grass could
 be seen growing out of the shoes Of some of the cornfeds, Barkers ga lore were there to meet you as you started for the main entrance and to
 hear them talk they were around sim ply to accommodate. Once within the main canvas the eyes of the crowd lcentered on the menagerie. There
 was the tall and lanky giraffe who now and then bowed their acknowl- edgements as the peanut shuckers stood in front of their cages, To make them seem even more elongated
 they were placed beside the cage in
 which was "Bess," the baby elephant. There was rumor around that the youthful miss got lost in the morning in the dust along East Main street,
 but this was later found to be untrue. The fondling attracted much atten- tion during the afternoon and eyen- l ing.
 l A young camel with broken leg also was one of the features of the menagerie. While Hump" was be- ing carried from where 1t was in- jured to its cage by six stalwart workers, it sent forth painful moans. The menagerie was one of the most 1 interesting features of the show. The big noise of the circus was the thrilling automobile ride where two machines leap forty foot gap, one of them turning complete somer- sault while in the air The riders are the LaRague sisters and the act Is certainly all that it is cracked up to | be. The machines go down steep 1 incline, leap into the air while going at terrific speed and while one is turn- ing complete somersault the other shoots ahead and lands on the plat form before the other. They land with awful force and the audience l holds its breath so wonderful is the | feat.
 The rest of the big show was much the same as in the past and recalled the old saying that once you see circus you see 1t for all time. The aerial work was rather entertaining, although couple of the troupes did not seem very eager to work, The equestrian feats were as usual one of the main features of the performance and even the final races were much better than the average.
 Danny Ryan, the Waterburian, with the show, was there with the clowns but he did not exert himself last evening. Danny was the catcher with the trio--well you remember the fellow with-the inflated stomach who had such high batting average. We'll Danny was with him during the greater part of the evening.
 Maud" and Flaw Flaw" were there with jingle and went around the course in rather fast time.
 The circus on the whole was all right and run of with smoothhess that was appreciated. Last evening 1t was trife cool at the grounds but this was no fault of the management.

Graduation Gifts

Graduation Is an event in every boys or girls life that will be re- membered always. A gift from father and mother should he of such value as to mark this day forever, something that the son or daughter may refer to all their lives as fathers and mothers graduation present. A diamond ring or a watch Is the gift ideal for the purpose.
 We have a complete line of dia- monds and Watches.

New Orleans, January 22.-Inspeetor E. S. Whitaker. head of the New Orleans police department, tonight offered his resignation to the board of police com missloners. Charges of shooting with in tent to kill and of malfeasance pending against the inspector induced his reslg- nation.
 The resignation was accepted and Capt. William J. O'Connor was elected to the vacancy of the inspectorship. Mir O'Con- nor has been prominent in detective work in this city.

M. Leveque, who had that day published an editorial calling him opprobrious names. The inspector struck the editor in the face and fired two shots, claiming that he thought Leveque was drawing pistol.
