curious manner The diligent student
is allowed to smoke a cigar during the

a general smoke, and even the little

the schoolmaster himself smokes a
cigar of size and quality proportion
ate to his superior position. But the
scholars are not allowed to drink, this
privilege being accorded to the master

There was an argument on a cricket
field in a village near Nottingham,
England, which interrupted the game
for some time. The match was being
played between the local tradesmen
of the village. All went well until
the bowler, who was the village con-

ball which bumped up from the
ground and hit the village butcher,

Beer Money and Churches.

In the eighteenth century there We're
no temperance societies or bands Of
hope, nor Rechabites and blue ribbon
army. To be as drunk as lord" was
the height of human felicity. 1t was
the age Of 'three bottle men," of con-
vivial toasts, of drinking songs. Even
the church indirectly encouraged in
temperance There were certain dis
tricts where at Whitsuntide the church
wardens were accustomed to levy con-
tributions of malt from the parishiOn-
ers. This was brewed into strong ale
and sold in the church. The Whitsun-
tide topers had, however, pious
method in their madness.
The money spent on the beer was
expended by the churchwardens in
church maintenance, and the muddled
rOisterers no doubt believed them
selves to be pillars of the church even
when, under the influence of the alco-
hol, they rolled upon its pavement.
They thought themselves supporters OF
the church when they wanted 9'sup-

SATURDAYS CIRCUS DAY.
Sells-Floto Shows Will Be Here In
Its Glory.

Saturday May 90, is circus day at
Twin Falls and MIR. Foto wants our
people and the surrounding country to
be prepared to see one of the pref
tiest and cleanest tented shows that
ever came this way. Many who are
unacquainted with the Sells Floto show
seems to labor under the impression
that it is small affair. This is a mis-
take. 1t is one Of the large circuses of
the world, and requires a train of
twenty four sixty-foot cars to transport
it from town to town. Five years ago
it would require twice this number OF
cars to carry show of this size, but the
circus people of today have the system
OF condensing circus paraphernalia
down to fine point, everything being
built to pack closely, and without any
waste of space.
The Sells-Floto show comes honestly
by Its title 1.-THE circus beautiful Its
fine thoroughbred horses and ponies,
with their beautiful trappings, and the
gold chariots, dens and tableau cars.
the most costly ever turued out in a
cirrus parade, make it all that they
have claimed. The menagerie is one of
the most complete and valuable in the
world, the large herd of well-trained
elephants alone being valued at S75,-
900. The mammoth tents are water
proof, and by the slight dropping of the
side walls can be made cool and com.
Portable on the warmest day. Even
the lemonade stands are nickel-plated,
which goes to show how particular the
Sells Flotc people are to have every
thing harmonic.
The Sells-Floto show carries no graft
ers or fakirs. 1t is the only CIRCUS that
does not carry a privilege" car, where
the canvasmen exchanged their wages
tor bad booze. The public is charged
a straight price OF admission. There
are no scalpers on the ground charging
ten cents extra for tickets before the
ticket wagon opens up, Further, the
ticket wagon opens Immediately after
the parade, which does away with the
usual scramble for tickets when the
doors open. The gorgeous street pa
rade takes place at 1:30 a. m. rain or
shine, which will give country people
ample time to reach the city and see 1t
in all It's glory.

FIGHTS DRY FARM BILL.
Senator Hepburn Talks Arm off Arid
Land Bill.
Washington, Tuesday, May 10.

NdsulnBtoH, tuesday, May IL.
If Senator Hey burns strength holds
out he intends to talk to death the 800
acre dry farm homestead bill. He so
stated in the senate today when the bill
was reported from the conference com
mittee this morning with Idaho in
cluded, as in the house bill It was found
the conference had stricken out the
words "arid and semi-arid," which
had been inserted in the senate on mo-
ton of Senator Borah. This ammend-
ment was intended to cvnfine the oper-
atlons of the bill to precisely such
lands. For some reason not explained
these words were left out and Senator
Borah with Fulton and Flint entered
prot st. Senator Borah served notice
that unless these words were restored
he would not support the bill, but he
further announced that If these words
are reinstated he will vote for the bill
and urge its passage so as to apply to
Idaho as well as other states. 1t was
the opinion of Senator Borah and others
that with the words 'ard and semi
arid left out, any agricultural lands
coGld be entered in 320-acre tracts I'M
der this bill, but as it is designed to APP
ply only to dry lands he says there is
no justification for dropping his amend
ment. He Is in favor of charging the
homestead area N dry sections but not
in sections where ordinary agricultural
conditions prevail.
Senator Hepburn discussed the bill
for an hour assailing it from every
quarter. He repeatedly declares it
was land grabbing scheme and said it
contained joker. He argued that 1t
would permit spectators to acquire
large holdings in prospective irrigation |
districts, thereby enabling them to hold |
up irrigation companies or prevent de-
velopment. He said he would not
even support the bill if Idaho is again
eliminated, but will fight it clear up to
the time of adjournment unless his
strength gives out. After he had |
talked an hour the senate got tired of |
the discussion and Senator Smoot was |
prevailed upon to Withdraw the confer
ence report. An effort will be made to
have the conference committee reasore |
the words ''arid and semi-arid," for if
this done it is believed the bill can be
passed oyer Heyburn's protest.-states-
