ROBBINS CIRCUS
A Splendid Performance To Delighted
Audience

Frank A. Robbins circus and ME.
nagerie arrived in the city on Sun
day morning over the B. & o. rail
road from GAINESVILLE and immediate
ly the tents were pitched on the show
grounds in South Vernon.
The Robbins show is on its thirtieth
annual tour, but this is its first visit
in this section of the country for six
teen years.
The street parade Monday morning
was witnessed by large concourse of
people who had assembled along Main
street and all were pleased with what
they saw. The parade was large
one, embracing numerous tableaux
cars, animal wagons, band wagons,
elephants, camels, and gayly caparis-
oned knights and ladies on blooded
horses.
The afternoon performance was wit
messed by large audience in the
huge tent, which has a seating capac-
ity of $500. The performance was
one of the best ever seen in this city.
1t embraced fifty feature acts, among
which were the Miles Orton family of
six acrobats and the Dave CASTILLO
family of three bare back riders, who
featured horizontal bar act on their
horses. The act, however, which at
tracted the most attention was that of
La Belle Clarke with her dancing
horse, Grand Duke, around which hoy
cred a bevy of trained doves.
There were several other acts
worthy of special commendation, and
altogether the show made good"

in 1892 has ever been regarded as the
turning point in his political career.
Had he succeeded in that contest For
aker, instead of Mckinley, might have
reached the White House which was
his ultimate ambition.
The selection of Laylin for cam
paign chairman, one who had an ac-
tive part in thwarting Foraker's poll
tical prospects in the days of his vim
and vigor must, therefore, be a bit
ter dose for Forakers loyal friends
to-day to swallow. And for that
choice to be made by Harding, in
whom the reviving hopes of the "Old
Guard were reposed at the time of
the convention, is like adding a full
measure of worm-wood to an over
flowing measure of gall to compound
the bitterness of the dose.

PINE FORESTS AT THE POLE.

Professor David, who occupies the
chair of geology in the University of
Sydney, and who accompanied Sir Err.
nest Shackleton to the Antarctic, has
been making some interesting re-
marks on his discoveries there, says
the Westminster Gazette The fossil
woods he had found showed that pine
forests had fiourished in the vicinity
of the south pole at remote geolo-
gical epoch. The coal seams he had
discovered suggested the same con-
clusions. At that time there was
more or less continuous land from
Australia to the south pole The cli-
mate all over the world was at that
period probably much milder than at
present.

WOMEN IN SCOTCH PRISONS.
New York Press)

Totally rough ignorant women COM
ing into a Scotch prison, sent up for
reasonably long time, leave there
with some useful handicraft at their
fingers end, even such arts as the
fine Oriental rug-making, skillful
needlework and professional cookery
being some of the many money-mak-
ing, self and demonstrating trades
and things there taught. Glasgow's
prison permits no degrading sense Of
being spied upon and watched and
driven by a harsh, bulldozing jailer
all the time. The best dog, to say
nothing of man or woman, can have
his character and self-respect des-
troyed by being constantly overseen,
browbeaten and bounded by a low
human character. Glasgow's system
compels prisoners to forget for
while the soul-destroying degradation,
Of the prison, and even makes the on
locker think he is in busy, happy,
first-class factory.
Women in the prison of the great
Scotch city are encouraged to look
and feel their natural best, to hold up
their heads and make the most of
their figures and appearances. Ugly
khaki garb has been discarded for
woman's wear in prison, with neat
and becoming gowns. Their hair is
dressed simply and naturally to suit
the contour of each face. Every wo-
man has her own looking-glass. Calls
thenic instructions in Glasgow's Jail
teach women how to walk gracefully
and hold up their heads. How is this
for Classy tolbooth? But Tip is no
bawbee or gaberlunzie lad to find
fault, but it seems long way from
the old "double-jougs' and "cuck
stool to looking-glass and walking
masters.
England is following Scotland. By
recent order of the Home Office the
Scotch system is to apply to all fe
male prisoners between the ages of
of 16 and %, of whom, in England,
there are nowadays far, far too
many. Starting out, large number
Of the offenders and unfortunates are
to be sent to Alyesbury Prison to
learn some of the arts taught in the
Scottish prisons, such work as knit
ting, sewing, dressmaking, housekeep-
ing and cooking.

WORLDS RECORD
Held BY ThOS Cox In High Run Of
Balls In Pool

The gentleman who was mentioned
several times in last weeks papers as
having defeated both Leopold NAM
bourg and Claude Woodward at billi-
ards and pool, respectively, at the City
Cigar Store, holds the worlds cham
pionship for a high run of balls in
pool. The gentleman is Mr.. Thomas
Cox. His home is in Norfolk, Va, and
he has been in the city soliciting or
ders for aluminium ware. At Norfolk.
on November "a, 1906, Mr.. Cox ran 40
balls while in a contest. This run
was unfinished as the requisite num-
ber of balls to win the contest was
pocketed by Mr. Cox. OF course it is
hard thing to guess how many more
could have been amassed, but after
pocketing the 10th ball, Mr.. Cox was
not at his strings end" and could
probably have continued.

CHOOSING A WATERMELON.
Chicago Post.) }

(Ch1cago PoSt)
The flavor of watermelon depends
largely upon how you choose it.
If you select it over the telephone
through the mediumship of a grocery
clerk whose clairvoyance is imper-
fectly developed you will obtain a
melon which is beautiful to gaze upon,
externally, but whose interior decora-
tions are unfinished.
There is nothing so dispiriting in
life as to bisect large, emerald
watermelon with blond area on it's
southern exposure, and find the inside
of it a discouraged pink streaked with
white. Such color scheme is fine for
mother-of-pearl knife handle, but in
effective for nutritive purposes.
Another unhappifying feature of a
watermelon is to be compelled to eat
1t with fork and not drop any of the
juice on your napkin. Watermelons
were never intended by nature to be
sliced geom etrically and eaten by
hhOdho VI q lolh. hCy diS uOJ III Ihc
pie class. For that matter, many
good authorities contend that the use
of fork damages the flavor of pie.
Pie and watermelon each should be
eaten by the same method. A con-
venient wedge should be seized in the
hand, the back should be turned if
necessary to avoid shocking onlook-
ers, and then the delicacy should be
bitten off ad lib. The chin may be
wiped dry with the napkin later.
To choose watermelon go to
small town and wait on the main
street until a freckled boy drives in
on wagon load of the dainties.
Thump the largest one, and if it re-
spends with solidly hollow plunk
pay the boy his quarter, seek a Sc
cluded spot, break the melon on a
fence post and let nature take it's
course.

TIMELY hints
FOR FARMERS
SuccuIent Food For Lambs.

Recent experiments at the Iowa ex'
pertinent station show that with corn
at ordinary prices cheaper gains on
lambs may be made with dry feed
than with roots or silage. When corn
and silage are low in price the gains
made with silage are little cheaper
than those made with dry feed.
The largest total gains were made
by the lambs getting sugar beets. and
the finish of this lot was also little
better The lot getting turnips and
cabbage required the largest amount
of dry matter for each 100 pounds of
gain. Silage and dry feed come next.
The least amount of dry matter was
required where. sugar beets and man
gels we're fed. The chief objection to
mangels and sugar beets is the large
Amount of hand labor required to raise

The Ohio State Sanatorium was
founded but a comparatively short
time ago, but its treatment is said to
have worked wonders with cases of
incipient tuberculosis. The Anti-Tub-

to work hand-in-hand with the state
institution. Advanced cases are not
received.
81 don't believe Ohio realizes what
vast amount of good is being ac-
complished there" "O'Neill said yester-
day. 'It's the simple life all the way

Nothing is better than clover for this.

LAYLIN FOR CHAIRMAN.

At Harding's request Laylin was
made chairman of the campaign COM
mittee. Why should Harding choose
Laylin to manage his campaign? Har-
ding who has been for Foraker part of
the time and against Foraker part of
the time has named for his campaign
manager one who has been hostile to
Foraker all of the time.
When Harding was nominated for
governor his candidacy was proclaim
ed as a victory for the "Old Guard"
and was regarded as indicative of a
return of the Forakerites to party
control. 1t was accepted as bow Of
promise that Harding's election would
be followed by the distribution of ia
yors among the loyal followers of a
leader who was ruthlessly eliminated
by Roosevelt and Taft two years ago.
But, since his nomination, the first
thing Harding did after going to Gin
cinnati to consult Cox was to rush off
to Beverly to confer with Taft; then
he sends word back home that he
wants an old time enemy of Foraker
to manage his campaign.
They are many who still remember
vividly the notable contest between
Foraker and John Sherman for the
senatorship in 1892. Sherman was a
candidate for reelection and Foraker,
who had just passed through defeat
for third term in the governors of
flee, opposed him. II was In the Re-
publican caucus OF that memorable
fight that Foraker's highest ambition
was throttled. The Foraker forces
wanted secret ballot to decide the
caucus nomination for senator be-
cause some of the members were
willing to vote for Foraker on Sc
cret ballot who did not want to in
cur the diSpieasure of Senator Sher-
man In case Foraker failed to secure
the caucus nomination. The Sher.
because by that means they could
hold some of the wavering members
in line. The determination of whether
the ballot should be secret or open
was the test of strength, and the Sher-
man forces won by vote of ~ to

the choice Of Sherman and defeat OF
Foraker for senatorship.
1t was in that exciting contest that
