and middle aged. Of all the good, old-fashioned, time-worn and staple jokes, the best is that which deals with the father who has to go to the circus to take the children, for there are fathers foolish enough to try to fool their neighbors with the fraud about going to the circus purely to please the children. The more candid frankly admit that they go to please themselves. For love of the circus is inborn; it lasts while life lasts. They have enjoyed it since the days when they used to carry water to the elephants or crawl under the tents to see the marvellous shows of their youth, and catch the circus fever to- day as they did then, even-if they don't gaze with the same open mOuthed wonder that they did in their youth.
 Circus day is always an eagerly anticipated day, and it always will be. There is something about this

sort of entertainment that is differ ent from any other sort of diversion. Perhaps it is wide diversity of the skill shown by the performers, per hapS it is the noise and the hustle and the frank aggregation of the side show spielers; more likely it is little of all. But whatever it is, there is a fascination that catches the imagination of the youth and stays with him through life, and to the red blooded citizen, circus day is, and will always be an event"
 The street parade, which leaves the circus lot at 10 o'clock Friday morn ing will, it is promised, be of an un- usually attractive charac acter. The management the Barnum and Bailey show have, it is said, been Jewish in the expenditure of money and the exercise of care and circumspection, to the end that the street pageant will prove interesting and entertain ing.

TRAFFIC ORDINANCE
 WASTES ENERGIES
 OF MANY TRANSFERS

The a1dermanic committee on ordi- aances took under consideration, last night, several changes in the traffic ordinances after hearing the protests of about 50 teamsters and delivery wagon drivers who appeared before the committee at a public hearing, The teamSterS were represented by Attorney Henry F. Shannon and the delegation was headed by John K Breen- Among those who spoke were Edwin G. Paddock, Herman Landes- man, Jesse Lund, Thomas McNamara and others.
 The principal protest of the team sters was against that section of the ordinance which reads: "A vehicle crossing from one side of the street to the other shall do so by turning to the left, so as to head in the same direction as the traffic on that side of the street"
 Edwin G: Paddock. a grocer. said that he estimated that there were about 15o milk dealers, 160 grocers, 50 or more bakers, and 50 or more butchers who use delivery wagons. He estimated that these teams make 32,000 stops in a day and that one half of the stops came on the left hand side of the street requiring 16,- 900 turns in one day.
 All who appeared said that the ordinance worked hardships in the
 
 only be enforced in the center of the city.
 A draft of an amendment as pro- posed by the teamsters was as fol- lows: -No vehicle shall stop with its left side to the curb or shall turn to gress street and South avenue; Main street between East Washington ave- nue and Gilbert street; Middle street, its entire length; Broad street be- &-A er4v 4 Congress street between Water street and Main street; Gold street its en- tire length; Golden Hill street from Water street to Main street; Fairfield avenue from Water street to Broad street; Wall street, its entire length; street from Water street to Broad street; Gilbert street from Water street to Main street; Stratford ave nue from Water street to East Main mother vehicle, or without giving signal for vehicles following to pass on the right of such vehicle"
 In section 9 of the same the word vehicles to stop near the curb on either side of the street.
 Other changes sought by the team sters are as follows:
 To amend section 4, Article 1, which reads, "A vehicle overtaking another shall pass on the left side of the overtaken vehicle. and not pull over to the right until entirely clear of it, by adding the words at the end unless signalled or directed by the driver of such overtaken vehicle to pass on the right"
 That there be an amendment to Article by adoption of another sec ton which read: Any driver intend ing to stop near the left hand curb of street or a part of a street not specified in section 8, article l, shall

so generally known as the greatest producer of high-grade petroleum that 1t is unnecessary for us to take up much space in describing the geo. graphical construction of the field, or the actual results of operations of the many companies who control proper ty in Coalinga.
 This Company, The Coalinga-Eu- reka Oil Company, Inc, is limited liability corporation, the shares of which are non -assessable, and have par value of $1.
 As development progresses, the price of stock will naturally advance. Even now trading in Coalinga-Eure- ka shares is very active. The limit ed block to be sold at 9 cents per share should, we estimate, be taken up on or before July 16th We have therefore set this as the closing out date for the unsold shares in this Company at 9 cents each.
 This means that it will be impos- sible for you to buy a share in this Company at 9 cents after July 18th, 1910, and we give this notice that the price of stock will be advanced to at least 50 cents on the morning of July 16th. Should there then remain any portion of the book at 9 cents, the same will be immediately withdrawn from the market.

 Our eminent townsman, Elliott w Peck, when last heard from was in Rome, on his way back to America He says he found 1t very hot al Lenox, in Egypt. While sailing in the Mediterranean he saw six whales SpOuting at one time, which proves that possibly whales werein that sea at the time Jonah was thrown over board. The water changed in color from turquois blue to sea green which was delightful to behold. MT Peck was much impressed with what he saw in Egypt, especially in the streets of Cairo. He also discovered that the Oriental is as sharp at driv- Yankee. MT. Peck thinks the ancient monuments and temples of Egypt were erected for self glorification while the Americans of today are more altruistic. Nevertheless the law of self prevails even in America to believe all the stories told by the guides, and took no stock in the place pointed out as the grave of Adam.

A PLEA FOR HOPEFULNESs
Writer Well Describes PessImism az
q Sin and she Pessin1ist a
Man TO Avoid.

Hopefulness is true sign Of great
ness. It means a conviction that we
are greater than our troubles, greater
han the world itself. greater than
death, and can hold our own when
ever it comes, in the universe any
where and through all eternity. Such
conviction makes man a god. II is
better than riches or high position.
1t makes poor man a king A per-
son who constantly fears or worries
is practically an atheist. He has no
faith in himself or any other being.
He does not usually live long. Wor-
ry kills more than whisky; 1t really
hardens the arteries.
No man has right to kill his
friends by sad, morose counte-
nance. A long face is a mark OF re-
ligion. Il IS out Of date just now and
forever sour-looking people should
be shut up in Jail; they are danger
Gus. II is good thing to throw back
your shoulders, walk erect. and be-
lieve that you own the whole city.
You do 1t asfeally as anyone else and
you feel better for the belief. Most
Of our troubles are fear for the future,
only "boeies" which disappear when
you walk up to them. There is a
good time coming. It Is here already,
IL we only knew It.
10 doubt would be dlsloyalty.
Io falter would BE- SIN.
