According to my views you have to
do more than this to be forgiven. You
have to make amends. Mere talk
does not purchase forgiveness. Where
anything is stolen or got unjustly it
must be refunded before forgiveness
can be expected if the sinner is able

There are the Ty-Bell sisters of

throughout Europe last winter with
their Human Butterfly" act; the
Hippodrome; the Handley company
of head-to-head balancers, from Ger
many; Prof.Arensen, the Norwegian
king of gymnasts; the Hines-Kimball
equilibrists, from Germany; Shumak-

Verazdini, the teacher of elephants
Stobesh, the Cossack rough rider;
Sato, the Japanese pantomimist;
Vault, the famous Jester and clown
who for so many years has been an
entertainer in the royal court at Te-
herran, Persia; Capt. Webb. the Eng
fish trainer of seals; the Jernisen
family, Norwegian aerialists; and the
RIGGS, high-wire acrObats from Italy.
The sensation of sensations is the au-
