There are many housekeepers who
work sixteen hours a day, while
three or four healthy, active boys
stand around and watch her. They
cannot help her because housework
is girls work" I" and they cannot
lower their standard of American
manhood. A little reform would
work for good in more ways than
one in all such cases.

and then sit down and wait for the
lining to reveal itself. We can if

will, control our moods, shake off
depression and drive away the
blues" Think Of the good the
gods give and be happy.
The family sitting room should
be the best and most luxurious room

The old fashioned way of putting
the best and prettiest of everything

Wild Animal Actors Jump Thru Burn

Shows.
There have been marvels thru all
ages. and the seven wonders OF the
world have been known for centuries
to the entire civilized universe. but
1t has remained for the Hagenbeck-
Wallace shows, which exhibit here
June 8, to produce others as equally
we'll worthy of recognition. Jungle
melodies and scenes from the immense
steel grit arena that would have held
a Pharaoh spellbound. are reduced to
perfect harmony, and sets the blood of
the onlooker to dancing in the veins.
as they witness the disciplined submits
sion of the flercest and most ferocious
African lions and Bengal tigers, with
other wild animals, as they obey the
will of man. and at simple and quie,
direction perform the most marvellous
feats. Fire, the most terrifying of ella
ments to the beast creation, is encoun-
tered without hesitancy at simple
word of command Unleashed in the
great steel ribbed arena big African
lion springs like a wild cat to the back
of his intrepid mount and with all the
grace and dexterity of riding rivals
performs feats that are almost incred-
ible. Hoops of fire have no terror for
him as he leaps thru them with all
the abandon of finished artist. Then
there are fearful foes brought together
in perfect amity to present in conjunc-
tive harmony spectacular perform
ance, the like of which the world has
never seen or even thought within the
range of possibility.

DOGS ARE CIRCUS STARS.
Hagenbeck- Wallace Shows Have Cam
ines That Are Expert Bareback

Every one likes a dog. especially if
the dog be a cutie; intelligent little
fellow. When the white faces of four
little dogs are seen on one side of a
swiftly flying horse while they are
Iscrambling to maintain their places on
It's sleek back, the large crowds at
tending this circus are sure to rise en-
raptured with the remarkable act.
One of the many European novelties
with the Observation-Disclosures Shows is
the Thalero dog aot. Two horses are
brought into the ring, each bearing q
medium sized dog on its back. The
ringmaster soon has the horses gall
looping around the ring, when at a. Civ
en- signal the dog on the rear horse
leaps from his horse to the back of the
horse ahead of him, and as he does
that, the dog on the front horse turns
backward somersauft from its horses
back to the horse from which the first
dog leaped, thus accomplishing an ach
that but very few men have been able
to do. The Hagenbeck- Wallace Shows
