Ries Some gDod and timely reading is

affirmed at the meeting lat year.

of sensational acts, the largest and
the only complete zoo in America
and a three mile parade. This par
ade is veritable worlds fair and
panoramic history of the earth from
the days before the flood to the last
tick of the clock.
This great circus is fifty years old.
1t has always stood at the top among
all the amusement enterprises of the
world. This year it returns bigger,
better and more attractive than ever.
On its list of performers there are
$50 names. These great stars have
been gathered from European arenas.
Among them are the three Tybell
sisters, who present a Human
butterfly" aerial spectacle which
electrified all Europe last winter
Karl Handley and his company of
German acrobats; Paul Alvarez, of
Spain. the greatest head balancer on
earth; the 'Avalons from England, the
best of all high-wire artists; Captain
Webb and his two troupes of trained
seals; Nellie WEIGH of Australia, the
| only woman somersault equestrian in
the world; Ada Bell Edwards, the
worlds strongest woman, and the
wonderful Alvo family of aerialists
from Italy. The greatest trained
animal act in all history is presented
by sixty-one horses. They appear at
one time in one ring. There are also
the fifteen best educated elephants on
earth. They perform in company with
three companies of trained dogs.
| In the menagerie there are 780 wild
animals. Scarcely one of them has
ever been seen in this country before.
The menagerie alone represents an
expenditure of a million dollars in
money. When it comes to the street
parade a description is impossible.
The great free pageant must be seen
to be appreciated. 1t is natural to
expect this circus, above all others,
to present the best open-air spectacle.
Never in its splendid history has il
displayed such an extravaganza as il
shows this year.
The organization now numbers ], ZOO
employees and has 900 horses. II
travels on train over a mile ir
length. This train is divided into
several sections. When under canvas
the show covers ten acres of ground
Its many tents and grounds are lighted
with 1900 incandescent lights anC
arc lights. The circus carries it's owr
| lighting plant.
! The greatest holiday of lifetime is
near at hand. Without a doubt many
from this city and it's vicinity will see
the newly organized Adam Forepaugh
and Sells Brothers shows.

Don't ask the publisher to publish a
list of wedding gifts.
Don't add to the terrors of death by
tacking several stanzas of doggerel to
a death notice. Don't crowd the
mournerS.
Don't lug old clippings into a news
paper office and tell the editor that
you have brought him something to
fill up with. - Take him a cabbage: he
can fill up on that.
Sitting in the end of a church pew,
don't get up to admit others. Move
along.
Don't kick a man when he is down
unless you are sure that he will never
get up again.
Don't put lard on a mans shoes
when you see him ''going down
hill. " They are already creased for
the occasion.
Don't pray with the hungry unless
you have given him something to eat.
Prayer without pork availeth not.
