 again"
 What do you think of those acrobats over there?" presently asked the old fashioned dad.
 "Oh they are all right" answered the youngster, looking particularly at one of the ladies, noting that his dad seemed more taken with that species of performers than the others. Just look at that arm. won't you? Gee! She could lick bunch of these white hopes at that"
 The old fashioned dad centered his eyes upon the strong woman, who at that moment was tossing husky fei- low over her shoulder like the ponder ous bundle was made of straW-and In a few moments his attention became riveted on another ring-where a team of clever acrobats and equilibrists were doing the impossible. Fine, ain't they?' asked the old gen. tleman, as the troupe of six ladies and gentlemen did their act high in the air.
 "Uh--Huhw said the kid. and turned his attention to a bunch of cyclists who just at this moment sent off the gi- gantic wheel that set the bunch in mo- tion. Say. dad, my motorcycle could do the work better than that-eh?'' The one subject on which the old fashioned dad and the new fashioned | kid didn't seem to get together at all was the army of clowns. But when the "joyously. jolly, jaunty comedians with their queer antics, and foolish grotesqueries, guaranteed to put the blues to rout," were turned loose on the mammoth hippodrome track i'll spite of their different points of view both found plenty to amuse them. Of course, the new fashioned kid took to the suffragettes and the aeroplane clowns, while the old fashioned dad liked the clown of 50 years ago-the type Of which is nearly extinct at the present writing.
 "Wonder if that's all of them?' P asked the old fashioned dad, as the last one of them tripped out.
 Sure. dad" said the boy, "ain't that enough? There's 20 if there's one. Don't you want to see anything but clownsf"
 "No-o-o," drawled the old fashioned dad, but l missed the clowns out in the ring with the bareback riders-lilSe they used to have when l was boy and where Is the policeman clown? They used to always have policeman clown when l was q youngster.
 But his disappointment in this re- spect was soon overcome, by the ap- pearance of the magnificent horse that was to ascend into the air and have the fireworks sent off when he reached the pinnacle
 As the stunt was pulled off and the fiery steed rose higher and higher, until he was within speaking distance of the top of the tent, the old fashioned dad exclaimed:
 What do you think of that? They never had anything of the sort when was a kid!'
 "Oh I don't know" said the new fashioned kid, as he sat comfortably back in his chair, and viewed the spec tacle with calmness Tt isn't so bad, but wouldn't it be great if they had sent a horse up in an aeroplane?"
 All of which goes on to show that the times have changed-and so has the circus-but 1t made hit, just the same, with the old fashioned dad and the new fashioned kid-so-if you are either-you'd better go today and en- joy it.

Arkansas City, Kan, May 13.-
Army worms are marching in droves
up the valleys in Usage county, Ok
lahoma. southeast of here, where
they are destroying almost every sort
of vegetation in their path. These in
sects seem to prefer tree leaves. but
in their route, where they are un-
able to find trees upon which to
feast, they are taking the cornfields
1t is noticeable in Usage and Grant
counties, Oklahoma, where the worms
seem to be advancing in two divi-
sions, that they are sticking TO the
territory adjacent to the Midland
Valley and the St Louis & San
Francisco railways. The Midland Val

lance between this city and Tulsa

the army worms which have invaded

the fact that they appear in large
numbers and travel in armies in an
irregular line. The worms, or cater

of their march. For five or six weeks
after Matching they continue to de
YOUR the crops. At the end of that
time they burrow into the ground
and form a chrysalis. The destructive
period of their life ends then.
The army worm matches from eggs
laid by a medium sized dark brown
moth, Professor Hunter said. THE
eggs are deposited at the roots OF
stubble or wheat. The Matching oc-

lost political control it was largely be-
cause the Jewish voting population in
creased faster than the Jebusites.
When Joshua was leading the He
brew army and scattering Hittites,
Amorrites, Perizzites and Hivites like
dew before the morning sun, the king
of the Jebusites, Adonilzedek. organ
lied league to discourage Hebrew
immigration. Four other kings joined
him.
The inhabitants of Gibeon, figuring
that it was better to be live prin-
cipality than a dead kingdom had
made peace with Joshua and against
them the Jebusites and their allies
turned at first The men of Gibeon
sent a messenger to Joshua, who hur-
ried down with his army and made
the five kings look like a bob-tailed
flush Their army fed, but they could
MT get away from the avenging army
of Joshua. Joshua called upon the
Lord, the Bible tells us, and God
caused the sun and moon to stand
still, so that there would be plenty
of light by which to kill Jebusites.
The five kings, who had not figured
on a 2i-hour contest. ran away and
hid in a cave at Makkedah, and Jos
hua had a few camp followers roll
stones in front of the cave, so he
could be sure to get the kings on his
way back, after killing off their troops.
Finally the wretChed mOnarchs were
dragged out, and Joshua called all the
captains of his army to put their feet
upon the necks of the kings, just to
show them how uneasy lay the head
that wore the crown. Then Joshua
had them stabbed and killed and hang
ed on five trees.
The Jebusites, however, continued
to live at Jerusalem with members
Of the tribes of Benjamin and Judah.
In two places the Bible speaks of their
sticking proclivities.
As for the Jebusites,' says the fif-
teenth chapter OF Joshua, sixty-third
verse the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
the children of Judah could not drive
them out. but the Jebusites dwell
with the children of Judah at Jerusa
lem unto this day

The pests may be killed in two
ways. If they are in stub5le field
they may be crushed 10y rolling. If
that is impossible their progress may
be stopped by turning up furrow
and sprinkling thereon a quantity of
sand which has been saturated with
coal oil. Coal tar also will block
their progress. Since the insects
travel slowly, and in a line, it is
an easy matter to chad off their
progress by the furrow method"

Bodies of JeDusites were found on

they were conquering Palestine, after
their forty years camping trip in the
wilderness. These Jebusites lived in
and around the ancient city of Jerusa-

benefits of town life, but the Jebusites

The revival of the evening courts
of King Edward and Queen Alexandra

ciety as it is affected by royalty The
drawing rooms" had been splendid,

evening courts combined the stateli-

social brilliance, which seemed more
in keeping with the spirit of the
times.
The change affected almost every
grade of society and led to a greater
amount of general entertaining than
had been known in the country for
several years.
