The getting together of a big cir

one that can only be accomplished
by an unlimited supply of money in

by the roster of novelties and per-
formers secured this season. No
expense has been spared to make
the Dode Fisk's great combined
shows one of the very best under
canvas this year. There are other
circuses which are larger, but what
the Dode Fisk shows lack in size is
more than made up in quality, the
very best performers having been
secured for the different depart

A GRATEFUL PATIENT.
The Coin That Was Measured by
Famous Surgeon.

The Coin That Was Measured by
Famous Surgeon.
DR.. Grenfell, an old London hospital
pupil, in sketch Of Sir Frederick
Treves in the Pail Mall Gazette tells
the story of a tiny sovereign gold
piece given by a grateful patient to
the famous surgeon and guarded by
him as a priceless treasure. a sailor
from Norway had been operated on by
Sir Frederick in hospital. His life had
been saved. and he had gone his way.
Late one evening dmid knock
brought Sir Frederick himself at that
unusual hour to his door in Wimpole
street. A tall. gaunt sailor In thread
bare attire asked If this was where
MIR Treves lives. At lis earnest re
quest, tu<e..n sviut " u,;t Uuv-r i-4tcct,
he was allowed to enter. He at once
proceeded to get out jackkn1fe, and
from the lining Of the belt of his trou-
sers he cut out a small gold piece and
offered it to Sir Frederick. On his re-
fusal to accept it the man was so hurt
that Sir Frederick listened to his story.
and an interesting one 1t was.
The man had on leaving hospital
sought a berth at the London docks
but, being a stranger. had been unable
to get one. He had got out of money
and had gone hungry day after day,
though he knew that he had sewed up
in his waistband by his wife in Nor
way the piece Of gold in question. He
had got so pulled down by bad living
that he at last decided he must spend
the money, but that very day he sue
ceeded in getting a berth on a ship.
and his advance had given the food he
stood so sorely in need of. He had
promptly tramped all the way to VIM
pole street. and his bearing was such
that Sir Frederick found himself
blowing into the darkness, holding the
gold piece in his hand and with an
overwhelming sense Of inferiority
strongly impressed on bis mind"

AUTOMOBILE LICENSES.
Owners Getting Now Machines Find 7 That State Has Power Figured Out.

f Some of the owners of automobiles
 who are renewing their licenses are getting various kinds of shocks inst inow. The new law requires that all new licenses shall expire the first of January next. These old ones that expire during the remaining months or the present year are renewed pro rata. The tax is based upon the horse power of the machine the higher the power, the greater the tax Some men who have been talking about the high power of their machines have quit that now, and if they talk about the power at all it is to put it five or ten horse power lower than formerly.
 %. They might just as well continue to talk as heretofore, for what they say does not matter either one way or the other. The state has adopted the A. l.. A. NJ. system of rating and the charges are fixed according to that rating. The state has the record of the size of all engines built and figure out by the A. l.. A. M. system the horsepower that a given bore and a given number of cylinders should de- Velop, and they charge a license fee according to this. With the notices that are sent to holders of licenses warning them that their present li- eense expires on a certain date is a table showing what the license fees Will De Tor all machines from one horsepower to the highest, both for the year beginning next January and Tor the months that are yet to run of this year. They give the A. L. A. M. formula for finding the horsepower of an engine, which is to square the bore, multiply the result by the num- Der of cylinder sand divide by 2.5.
 Some men here who have been driving machines which were rated I<xrrv I1r~ ( T thought were lower powered than even the builders claimed, have dis covered through the state office that their machines worked out on this formula should develop several more horsepower than claimed and have had to pay in consequence a larger license fee than they thought They are paying just the same. because there is no use to kick.-Torrington Register.
