THE WIZARD

Some years ago an expedition from the
University of Pennsylvania was sent to one
Of our southern states for the purpose OF
observing solar eclipse.
The day before the event one of the pro-
fessors said to an old darby belonging to
the household wherein the scientist was
quartered:
tom, If you will watch your chickens
tomorrow morning you'll find that they'll
ali go to roost at II O'clock"
Tom was. OF course, scepticaI; but at tho
appointed hour the heavens were darsened.
and the chickens retired to roost. At this
the negroes amazement showed no bounds.
and he sought out the scientist
"Perfesser" said he, how long ago did
you know dem chickens would go to roost =

The postal authorities of the United
states. as well as those of Great Britain,
for a great many years experienced great
difficuity with the word only on postal
cards. The efforts to avoid cunsiness and
ambiguity taxed the ingenuity OF the post
office people to the utmost.
The postoffice department made six Mt
ternpts to find a brief, elegant, and unam-
biguous legend for the card.
An early postal card was inscribed;
"Notbing but the address can be placed on
this side" which was neither true nor
elegant. -.
side was more to the point. But as 1T
looked bad to the authorities they next
evolved this legend: Write only the adj
dress on this side.' This was objected to
on the ground that 1t barred the use OF a
typewriting machine. Write the address
oniv on this side, the message on the other"
came next. and was promptly. criticised as
being both clumsy and ambiguous Then
the word ''only' was dropped. but without
much Improvement.
Finally Uncle Sans officials gave up the
struggle to be original. The card then
adopted and now in use bears this inscrip-
ton: "The space below is FOR the address
only."--Harper's Weekly.

THE SHRINERS' CIRCUS

TN HE Shriners' circus is the best
show ever given under canvas,
Il and that is our only quarrel with
lence of the entertainment and its
wealth of special features will make
all future shows seem tame to the
thousands who are enjoying the never
equaled combination of Los Angeles
Ancient Arabic Order Mobiles of the
Mystic Shrine (Al Malaikah temple)
and the excellent Sells-Floto shows.
The entertainment is genuinely funny,
and that is one of it's strongest claims
to popularity and fame. oh, the drear-
mess and WEAKNESS of "would-be
funny" stuntsl But If you wish to see
the real thing" and to laugh as you
have seldom If ever laughed, visit this
circus. If all the other comical features
fail to move yours from their wonted
repose, Spader Johnsons clown band
about the most genuinely mirth pro-
voking musical act ever presented on
any stage is that its effects are last
ing, and for days after you have heard
it the recollection of that weird but
artistic, irregular but well regulated,
paradoxical but practicable disturb
ance of the peace will make you laugh
when perhaps you should be serious.
The $4,000 which the Shriners ex-
pect to raise by the circus is a gift
to the Children's hospital, at Alpine
and Castelar, streets, to be used for an
endowment. This is the only hospital
specially maintained for the needs of
the little ones that Is in existence
south of San Francisco. 1t was in
corporated in 1901. 1t is non-sectarian.
is open TO all doctors and is a purely
charitable institution. 1t is only par
TALLY endowed, being dependent upon
the public for more than half its
monthly expenses. A staff of ply
sicians give their services free. None
of the officers or directors receives
compensation. Many a child is made
well and strong who without the help
of this hospital would go through life
a cripple or sickly and unable to make
a living.
The board of managers asks us to
call especial attention to the fact that
the money raised by the merry Shrlners
is for endowment. 1t will be at least
six months before the hospital will be
benefited by the income from it. In
the meantime the hospital is in need
of money for running expenses. YOU
are urged to contribute You will not
be restricted either to a minimum or
maximum amount. IT you wish to buy
IAN annual membership it viii cost &c.
A life membership costs $50. You
should send checks to S. A. Butler, COL

PROSECUTED PRINCE

YN HAT poor Prince Helie de Sagan.
He is much oppres' and disturb
n by those bette Americans. Rumors
fly to the right of him and to the left
of him. He is surrounded by rumors
The atmosphere is thick with them.
Uneasy lies the head that wears on it's
inside a skillfully constructed plan of
campaign against American dollars.
The bad and wicked malignants are on
the trail of Helie. These vicious
wretches declare that he is nothing
but "vag," that his name is really
Weary Raggles de Sagan, and that he
is first cousin to Dusty Rhodes de
Sagan. Yes. Those indefatigable re-
searchers, the Americans, have allowed
the cat to escape from the De Sagan
bag. 1t is not a beautiful cat and De
Sagan would give all he possesses and
more (mainly more) to recapture the
animal and stife it's yowls. And George
Gould! All. ciel! what a cut of I'M
kindness! That George Gould, far
from behaving like person inflated
by pride of having a fine title in the
family, is doing his very best to make
hot time in the old town for De
Sagan. He hopes that he will make
lew York, and the United States as
we'll, too hot to hold the prince. In
order that the time may be heated to
a red hot temperature. George is fever
ishly hunting up De Sagan's police
record in gay Paris, and is unearthing
enough scandals to turn the stomach
of the Republican elephant, the anil
NAL with the strongest digestion in the
world. De Sagan thinks that the
Americans are too inquisitive. He is
shocked and outraged because they
have not taken him just as he is with
out one plea.
But there is reason for the excite
ment with which they pursue his rec
ord and hold 1t UP in order that the
public may sniff 1T. They are suspi-
cious. They have been there before.
Having been bitten, they are shy. The
dollar is no longer an easy mark. Poor
HeIie! His face is elongated and he is
fallen as to the crest He would give
-ah, what wouldn't he give-if he could
unlive his life and repeat it with more
circumspection and with more regard
for the proprieties with which Ameri
can dollars are at last choosing to sur
round and defend themselves. Eft VOLTA

And millionaires were seen
In every town upon the map
On every village green;
Before we grew SO pursy proud.

A dulcet name and sweet:
| But that was in the days before
| They raised the price Of meat
The name Of Swamp was good enough.
When people rode by stage;
Before we ever thought that art
Our minds would thus engage.
Hells Bend was never frowned upon
And Bigbug yet exists;
Sweetgum and Taffy still are found
Upon our postal lists,
But we have cultivated now
A taste for art and so
HeIrs Bend will shortly disappear
And Bigbug has to go.
The names that freely used to flow
Like liquid from our tongue;
The names that in our poetry
So often have been sung.
No longer will be seen in print,
With them we'll have to, part;
Shinbone and Single must give way
Before the march OF art.
For culture has us in her grip.
Art has us In her clutch;
But, though we lose these freakisn names
We shall not miss them much.
