WESTERN CIRCUS MAKES GOOD.
Whst the Campbell srothers Have
Accomplished In the Past
Fifteen Years.

Fifteen Years.
The C>-upbell Brothers Great Coii-
solidated Shows. now the 4th largest
In the world. are to be in Lamar on
Wed. Sept %. A few words IN re-
gard to the start and enlargement of
this sfow might be of int rest to our
many r-aders. Some 15 years ago
they launched small show with the
motto attached. Honorably Con-
Quoted, Truthfully Advertised. ''This
motto has made the show what 1t is
today. Their shows have always
been conducted on a high moral
plan. they never having allowed any
gambling. short changing or petty
thieving In or around their shows.
Being imbued with the spirit Of pro-
gression, after 8 years Of hard work.
and strict economy. they became the
proud possessors OF their first Ele-
the show the next spring was to
them the proudest day of their lives.
From that time on. every dollar mad
has been Invested to the lettering
Of the show; from one they have in
creased their Elephants to a large
herd, also their camels.
To those Of our readers who aehv
aever had the pleasure Of visiting a
circus In Its winter quarters. a des-
-,ription might be interesting. Camp
bell Brothers winter quarters are sit
lated on q beautiful farm, one and
one-hak miles from Fairbury. Neb..
IN the Little Blue River. The first
building to attract your attention as
you approach the farm, Is the NAM
moth horse barn. wherein during the
winter months. are stabbed their $50
head OF horses which are used with
the show. Next to the Barn stands
4 large building. made OF concrete
blocks. known as the Cat building.
which Is the winter home OF their
Lions. tiges. leoparis. cougars. hyenas
monkeys. birds. and SO on. Next to
this comes q large frame buildink

the Shetland pony barn and the ring

Of special interest to any one. as It
Is where the cake walking horses.
the dancing elephants and Shetland
ponies are taught their tricks. and
whore the ladies' and gentlemen rid
ers who appear before you In their
costly wardrobe and pleasing acts,
practice during the winter months.
There are many diffsnent depart
ments with q circus. each one having
its manager and assistants. The bust
ness Is conducted on a plan or sysr
tenn equal to that Of our "UNCLE

THE FIRST INDUSTRY.
Problems of the Farm Curiously is-
nored by tho Ancients.

Problems of the Farm curiously ls-
nored by tho Ancients.
Why agriculture, the first industry
to be learned and so obviously the
most fundamental, was the last to be
developed Is one OF the most battling
mysteries of history. One marvels at
1t afresh as one stands before certain
glass case in the Egyptian quarter Of
the British museum, wherein Is a little
group OF farm utensils-a fractured
wooden pillow, rusted sickle, two
sticks tied together with a leathern
thong and several tassels that had
hung on the horns OF oxen. To be sure,
these implements were used 5000
years ago-they were found in the
tomb of Seti but one remembers
that when Egypt was using these
bread tools. no better than those of the
barbarians about her, she had a most
elaborate government, an army and
navy and art and literature.
The records and relics OF other ma
lions down through history show the
same strange incongruity. For thou
sands of years the wise men of the
world absolutely ignored the problems
of the farm. A farmer remained either
a serf or tenant. He was a stOlid
drudge-"brother to the OK" Even
the masterful old pilgrim fathers had
no plows ut all-nothing but hoes and
sharp sticks-for the first twelve years
of their pioneering.
And therefore for thousands of years
there was hunger.-Everybody's Maya
zine.

Slips CT an Absentminded Dentist In
Simple Arithmetic.
Great scientist though lie was, the
late Lord Kelvin sometimes failed to
do simple addition or subtraction sums
correctly. Once on blackboard at
Glasgow university he made two and
two five and, hearing the delighted
laughter of the class, hastily altered
the five to a three. On another occa-
sion he said, "Seven times nine, Mr..
Macfarlane, are hundred and what?"
(Pause) "But, no." continued the sci
enlist, "seven times nine cannot be a
hundred and anything. for the square
Of a hundred is ten"
How he nearly lost his life through
his devotion to science was told by
Lord Kelvin himself In the house OF
lords some years ago. He was en-
gagged in testing certain chemical IN"
gradients which could be safely mixed
together In particular proportions, but
which became highly explosive mix

UNEARTHING UGLY FACTS.
New Revelations of the Dark Ways Of
Cleveland Municipal Traction.

New Revelations of the Dark Ways Of
Cleveland Municipal Traction.
Every push of the probe into the
affairs of the Cleveland "Municipal'
Railway company reveals new and
unsupported rottenness At recent
hearing it was shown that the books
had been manipulated in various ways.
1t was also shown that many items
listed as assets were not assets at all.
Among these items, which aggregated
many thousands of dollars, were strike
expenses, office rent, salaries, adver-
Using and uniforms, the last being put
in at original cost. although nearly
worn out.
1t is also claimed that 100000 was
wrongfully taken from special fund
and applied to general expenses. The
fund was turned over by the old
Cleveland Railway company as Il guar
antee against damage and other claims
existing prior to the turning over Of its
business to the Municipal" and was
to be used only with its approval. or
$12SOO0 paid out from this fund only
sol 900 is stated to have been so ap-
proved, and the records of the "Mu-
nicipal" show that most Of the re-
mainder was not spent for the purpose
for which the fund was provided.
The nastiest feature of the whole
business is in connection with the sale
and redemption Of stock. This was in
the hands of private stock exchange
managed by one of the directors of the
Municipal" former State Senator
Schmidt. The Municipal advertised
over Mayor Johnson's signature that
the stock could at any time be redeem
ed at par plus per cent interest. The
public was urged to buy this stock as
the safest possible investment up to
the very day of the referendum. Mean
while the insiders were quietly unload
ing. The assistant to the president
disposed of 26J shares In the three
weeks preceding the referendum, and
on the very day before 1t was held the
wife of Senator Schmidt cashed In fifty
shares. Yet when poor washerwo-
man presented her two shares for re-
demption she was at first refused,
though she was finally given the mon
ely for one share. The other she still
holds, the market value being SIS in
stead of $1O2.25. which she was guar
anteed.

Exclusive Force of Water.

Water looked upon as the tamest OF
liquids, is as great an explosive as dy
Mantle under certain conditions. In
one day water breaks up more earth
and rock than all the gunpowder, gun
cotton and dynamite in the world do In
a year. These explosives can be con,
trolled by human agency, but water
does not hold itself accountable to
man. 1t runs into the ground freezes
expands and splits the soil into little
pieces. Finding crack in a huge rock
1t repeats the same process, forcing II
asunder. If frozen in the pores of a
tree it often eXplodes with a report
like gunshot and the force of a dyna.

variably follows pride.
Turning to a bullet-headed. freckle-
faced little boy, whose ears seemed
about to carry off his head like an
aeroplane, she asked him to repeat a
verse from the scriptures, but her only
answer was a vacant stare.
Come, come" said the teacher;
do you mean to tell me that you
can't repeat even one verse;"
