DUMAS AUDACITY.
A Unique Literary Scheme of the
Great French Writer.

Sreat French Writer.
American readers are accustomed
to surprises in their newspapers,
but imagine their astonishmcnt
should some favorite journal pub
hsh in good faith, in daily INSTALL
mcnts and adapted according to the
notions of some staff writer,
classic such as, for example,
Dante's "Infcrno" Yet the aston
ishment so excited would not be
without Il parallel in the annals Of
newspaper management, inasmuch
as Homer once figured as a feuille-
toniste for Partisan newspaper,
When Dumas the elder was edit
ing his journal, lie Mousquctaire,
Urbain Fages, one of his assistants,
who was an exceptionally fine Greek
scholar, was one day enthusiastic
ally eXpatiating upon the beauties
of the "Gliad" and the "Odysscy."
Dumas grew most interested.
! "If only you could read them in
i the original" sighed FACES.
"Why not?" asked Dumas.
"But," exclaimed Fages, "my
dear fellow, you don't know alpha
from omegay
"Will you translate for me?"
asked Dumas eagerly.
Accordingly FACES undertook the
task. Beginning with the first
book Of the "Iliad," he would read a
line Of the Greek and then give a
literal translation. Dumas quickly
caught the spirit of the epic. As
FACES read he wrote a translation
and signed it.
"In the name of all the ancients,
NJ Dumas" exclaimed FACES, "but
you are signing your name to the
Tliadp"
"CertainIy," responded Dumas,
"that is, to my version of it. 1t
will appear as feuilleton in lie
Mousquctaire."
Fages was filled with dismay, as
he aftorward related, but before
such audacity and naivete he felt
helpless. How was he to convince
writer accustomed to every tri-
umph that he was too bold?
And so the next day an install
ment of the "Iliad," as rendered in
half an hour or so by a man who
could not read the Greek alphabet,
appeared at the bottom of the page
of lie Mousquetaire, with the note,
"Continued in our next"
This enterprising bit of journal
ism raised such storm of criticism
that Dumas was persuaded to dis
continue it after the third install
ment, though it was doubted that
he quite understood what was the
trouble.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

BIG CIRCUS AT OMAHA

Barnum and Bailey to Exhib=
it There OH Tuesday July l3
The Barnum & Bailey great
est show on earth is to visit
Omaha on Tuesday July 10.
Never since the beginning of
time has an amusement enter
prise so tremendous in size Keen
organized as this one. It's mag
nitude is almost beyond belief.
All America, together with ev-
cry foreign country, has Eeen
secured from end to end by
agents of this big show in
search of novelties and the re-
Esult is a performance brim full
of sensational acts new to the
circus world. In the big Bar
mum & Bailey show are nearly
400 arenic stars, most of whom
are seen now for the first time.
A new sensation will be seen
at every performance in "Jupi-
ter the balloon horse" This
remarkable animal with its
fearless rider ascends to the
dome Of the circus tent in a
balloon and decends to the
ground in a shower of firework
Nearly 1000 animal wonders
are to be found in the big 108
cage menagerie, 8 herds
of elephants, including one herd
that actually plays upon must
cal instruments in time anc
tune. A group of giant gil
RATES., monster trained hypo-
potamus, only living bi-horned
rhinoeeros and hundreds Of
other strange beasts. Barnum
& Baily's big, new, free street
parade is the most gorgeous
professional display ever at
tempted in the history of cir
Gus business. Its tremendous
size and wonderful length cal
orIy be believed in the aetua
seeing. 1t is natural to expect
this big circus Is lead all other
in qualitysand quantity of its
street spectacle as we'll as il
other departments of the biz
show, yet never in it's splendid
j. history Of nearly half a centur.
has it displayed such extrava
gance as is shown this year.

studying the alternating habits of

one OF the objects OF the expert
mental work was to find out how
many OF the boil wcevils could be
gotten rid Of by destroying the cot
ton plants at different times in the
fall. To secure this information
cages were made Of wire cloth. each
cage being SKIS feet and 6 feet high.
In these cages were placed piles of
trash. leaves. moss, stumps. etc. TO
form winter quarters for tho boil
weevils such as they would fnd out
of-doors.
on September IS. 1905. a lot Of
live and active adult boil weeyils
were gathered in nearby cotton
field and placed IN ono OF these caEca
and the cage securely locked. No
growing cotton VAS IN any Of tho
cages. Thus these wecvils were de-
prived OF all food from then on. Had
the cotton plants IN the field been
destroyed on September 2sth tn"
wccvils there would likewise have
been deprived Of food. Therefore
