An extract from one OF the pages Of this al

Howe's Big Shows Take this Town By
Storm many Here,

The Press, Asbury Park, Aug. u, 1908.
With Howe's great London show on the
boards. yesterday was circus day In this city,
and old and young alike spent many happy
hours taking In the various features, 1t was
Interesting TO see the large number OF sum-
mer guests who were present and who ap-
peared to take an interest in the big show,
exceeding that OF their country cousins.
Both afternoon and evening the big main
tent with q seating capacity OF over three
thousand was crowded.
MarionSheredan and her troup OF perform
ing lions proved one Of the pain attractions.
The wonderful control which this pretty
little woman exercises over these sovereigns
OF the forest Is something marvellous. The
feature that undoubtedly was the most en-.
joyed by the youngsters was Prof Buckley, g
herd OF performing elepoants including
Duchess the largest elephant 10 the world.
These huge beasts did stunts OF all descrip-
tions from balancing themselves on barrels
10 playing ring around the rosy.
The shows acrobats proved Mr.. Howe's as

these performers from all nations not TO far
out Of the way and throughout their acts
these performers carried the spectators by
storm and were wildly applauded.

What would you do II your years wages ae-
nendd ON the correct answer to question:
Iike thit:
Find the cost OF 1850
planks 16ft long, SIN.
wide and 3l5ln. thick."
Now seyeral questions would naturally pop
into the moor teachers mind as the perspirs-
ton would lust as naturally pop out on Dis
forhead In examining this question for
proper solution.
First: were these plank sawed irom sone
mighty Seauoia that stood In Caloioln'a

NJ yrtaceous Eucaiyptus that shaded an ao'o

not be thicke er than II is wide.
Third: 10 It possible that this Is the correct
solutions: immagine, thinks the pedagogae

each end drags the ground. But this must be
the solution. The other hypothesis Ia Inn

Fourth: this Is 1t. Each plank contains
five twelths times 16 feet. which 10 twenty
thirds feet. 1850 plank would contain IZso
times twenty thirds which II 1888 and one
third feet. This is 1t, OF course, It is simple
enough. Now, thinks the teacher. III just

so Jessie got on and mamma got pc

and pushed and hit, but it did no good.
He whirled around so quick and start

Jessie got off and we led him little
way, then he was all right. We got on
and rode him one after another. On
the way back we met a mule that
man had turned loose and made him
go to the foot. Mamma caught the
reins and put him at one side, so we
could pass. So on we went to the foot.
We put our burro in his pen and
waited for Carl to come down the trail.
