Selfishness the greatest
Hindrance.

The prosperity of any city or
OF any community cannot be
properly guaged without taking
into account the prosperity of
each and every one of the citizens
of that city or community.
Every resident has to do with
the prosperity of his community.
His individual prosperity, if he is
prosperous, helps the city to
grow and advance; if he is not
prosperous he is dissatisfied and
a knocker'', he hinders the
growth of a city and therefore it
follows that the greater the num-
Der of prosperous men and wo-
men of which a city can boast,
the greater the progress vi that
city. No citizen can be selfish
and care alone for his own indi.
vidual interest or the interest of
particular group or class, with.

jealousy hinders the growth of q
community as much or more than

"FOREPAUGH'S FOURpAWs.

When the writer was a boy. which
hasn't been such a little while ago.
Forepaugh's circus was househ old
term over half of the Union. 1t was
the very first he ever went to, and he
well remembers across the gulf of a
score and a half of years how his very
soul was sbroi1ed on the redhot Goals
of ecstacy as he watched the splendid
show. How dull would King Georges
coronation pageant have appeared in
comparison with the parade, and how
wonderfully were the pages of natural
history verified in the menag erie.
Forepaugh himself, greatest of men,
took the tickets, and the Arabian
Nights seemed to have come to life in
the feats of the gorgeously arrayed-
and rrayed--performers. The music
of the spheres played second fiddle to
that rendered by the band; the topical
song that year was "Over the Garden
WALL and it wasn't rag-time. either.
but such poetry as Tennyson might
have written, and the singers voice
lifted il to the roof and sent it to the
corners of the "big top" with ring
that Nordica couldn't equal now.
Forepaugh has been gathered to his
Iforefathers, with half the people who
thronged his tent that night: the kids
who crawled under the canvas are
middle aged men: all things have
changed, many of them for the worse
but the circus to which the veteran
Snowman gave his name has come
down through the decades with a large
rainbow ring around it and three rings
in it. 1t has combined with Sells
Bros. show. another giant of those
days, and the mammoth aggregations
have grown as well as combined, until
now as a peripatetic amusement fac
tory they have not their equal in the
world.
Forepaugh's and Sells Bros Shows
will be here Oct. ga date that you
want to paste in your hat. and all this
section of the state with be here to
