John Robinson's Shows.
Has an Immense Parade.

A distinguished feature of the
John Robinson Shows is the mon
ster free open den street caravan.
Who does not like to see the circus
parade2 Who would not view the
gaily colored cages come along
when Madame Roboske is seen
spanking the nose of large lion
with little whip while cheers
greet the act1 The "Rube" clown,
who gets arrested for blocking traf-
fic OIL the streets, with his mule
and cart, was once a great feature.
He is well known now, but the in
ventive minds of circus men will
have another novelty to replace
him. Another event of moment in
every small town, aud large one
too, for that matter, is the early
one, the arrival of the circus train
Long before the long train pulls in
on the sidetrack near the depot the
crowd is there. There is an army
of juvenile volunteers, who are
willing TO carry water for the ele-
plants just to get free pasteboard
emitting them to admission to the
show later in the day. Men are
thereto see that their boys, who
have passed a sleepless night-do
not get hurt. Even women find
some excuse for going down to the
railroad yards and taking a long
look at the canvas covered cars.
Boys, who have gathered and sold
enough old iron, rags and bones to
get SO cents, enjoy memorable
day, and the streets leading from
the farming district to town are
covered with every imaginable kind
of venicle.
Like the others, the farmers come
to bring the children. The feed
dealer, who supplies hay, oats and
corn for the horses on a contract
made with the advance man, wants
several extra tickets-just for the
children. The same is true of the
butcher, who supplies the meat for
the cook tent.
AS soon as the sun is out there is
hustle and activity every place. If
the superintendent of the public
school is wise he will declare hol-
iday. What boy or girl can think
of geography, spelling or arithme-
tic when there is circus in town?
In the language of the German CO.
median, ut is to laugh" The
circus does a land Office business,
and, as the crowd is pouring into
the circus tent from the menagerie
at the night performance, the army
of employees Of the shows start to
take down the canvas which shelf
ers the cages and the work of load
ing the outfit onto the train begins
Thousands of tired boys and girls
retire, after having seen the show,
peaceful and contented. The fol-
lowing morning the antics of the
clown cause merriment at tie break
fast table, and some youths who re-
side near the circus lot hurry
through their morning ablu:ions
in order to go over near the ring
and see if any change has been
dropped by the spectators of the
previous night. The John Robin
son Shows will exhibit at Blooms
burg, Monday, June 2Ist.

PLANT LICE OR APHIDS ON APPLE

PLANT LICE OR APHIDS ON APPLE
TREES, ROSE BUSHES, ETC.
In answer to correspondent,
writing from Pittsburg few days
ago, as to what treatment to use to
destroy the Woolly Aphis on Ap-
pie trees, State Zoologlst Surface
gave the following information,
which is published for the benefit
of everybody interested: "The
Woolly Aphis on apple trees gen
orally works in spots where the
bark has been injured and can at
such places be easily killed by
painting with a very strong soap
solution, using a paint brush, and
pushing the soap solution we'll into
the cracks of the infested parts If
not treated it keeps the wound sore
and often results in knots, gals or
other kinds of reformation. Where
the pest has spread to other parts
of the tree, such as the leaves, it
can be killed by spraying with
whale oil soap, one pound i'll SIX
gallons of water; or common laund-
ry or other soaps. one pound in
three or four gallons of water; or,
perhaps best of all, with an eight
percent kerosene emulsion. This
emulsion / recommend for all suck
ing insects, such as plant lice, rose
leaf hoppers, young scale insects,
etc. 1t is made by shaving one
half pound of hard soap OF any
kind into a gallon OF boiling water
and stirring it until it is dissolved.
Into this pour two gallons of kero-
sene CATER removing it from the
fire), and beat it or whip it like
teating eggs or better, churn it
around through the spray pump,
about FIVE minutes, when it will as
sumo a thick creamy mass, and
will be permanent stock emulsion
from which you can take supply
to mix in water when needed. For
this take one part OF the STOCK emul-
sion to ten parts of water, and this
will make about eight percent ac-
tual kerosene in the dilute emul-
sion. BY this treatment the kero'
sene loses some of its original quail
tiles. and does not float on the wa
ter, but becomes dissolved or alb
sorbed in it, and does not do the
injury to vegetation that it would
if the pure kerosene were used on
foliage. At the same time it is al
so strong enough to kill such pests.
The Woolly Aphis also works on
the roots, often causing serious de-
lormities or knots, and remains at
such injured places. Whenever
they are discovered they can like
wise be treated by painting with
strong soap solution or by uncover
ing the roots and coating them we'll
with finely powdered tobacco dust,
and then replacing the earth. The
fertilzing value of tobacco dust
will alone be sufficient to justify
this work.

READY-W|1TEO PORTER
HERO OF Org. HOLDUP

Passengers arriving in Salt Lake last
night brought stories OF the attempted
hold-up of the second section 81 u.

colo, Thursday nisht by hve highway
men, and all were unanimous IN nrais-
ing the courage and pluck of George
Alonzo. q Pullman porter According
TO the passengers Alon1o had much to
do with frustrating the plans of the
highwaynlen and preventing tho hold
up.
II. c. Ellis Of Bend. Ore. a passen-
ger on the train. told Of the Pullman
portor's quick wit. We I'm tho Pull
man cars he said, knew nothing OF
tho attempted hold-up until we were
aroused by the dynamite explosion.
At the same time Alonzo came running
through the cars shouting We are
held up. Climb intofyour berths and
hide your valuables As he went
through the cnrs he turned out the
lights throwing the cars into darkness,
and then when he got to the rear end
Of tho train, with presence Of mind he
lighted the red signal lamps that had
been put out by the hiRhwaymen. This
probably prevented a collision as there
WAS a train behind us The fact that
the lights had been put out no doubt
kept the robbers from coming INTO tho
cars, as they would hardly want to
take chances in the dark"
As an appreciation OF the porter
work the passengers prepared and
signed "A letter addressed to WI Tate
