THE SHUT-INS
$$ffaWhiIe Being Amused Gain
q" Wealth of knowledge.

Did you eve hear of the Sunshine
Society,"
Such an organization exists and
Its object is to incite it's members to
the performance of kind and helpful
deeds. They also being the sunshine
of happiness to the hearts and homes
Of "shut-ins," or those who through
some unfortunate circumstance are
shut up In the house.
Did you ever notice how the face
OF a child lights up when you smile
at 1t as you pass on the street?
Your smile is a ray of sunshine
for the little one.
There are many kind and helpful
deeds that bring sunshine and happi-
ness to others and usually cost iess
than the gloomy look.
A member of the Sunslin Society
recently got several copies of the IL
Illustrated Bible which the EVENING
NEWS offers to It's readers. She said
she wanted to present them 10 some
little ''shut-ins" who would be anus
ed by the beautiful pictures distrib-

New York, April 1S:-The S66
passengers taken from the Titanic's
l~ifeboats r aboard the Cunarder
Carpathia, which is headed for this
port and should arrive Friday.
Among the 318 passengers in her
first cabin list and 259 occupying
the second cabin were persons noted
all owe the world as fnanciers, So
ciety leaders, transportation mag
mates, literary celebrities, journal
lists and business men. Perhaps the
best known of those believed te-be
lost was Colonel John Jacob Aston.
Frank D. Millet, the artist; James
Clinch Smith, New York society
man, and Major Archibald Butt,
President Taft's aid, were other ce-
lebrities. An idea Of the size of the
Titanic may be had by comparing
her with other noted structures. AS
shown in the cut from left to right
they are; Bunker Hill monument,
Philadelphia city hall, Washington
monument. Metropolitan building,
in New York; Woolworth building,
in New York; the Titanic, the CO.
logne cathedral, the Great pyramid
and st. Peters cathedral in Rome.

CIRCUS USED
WAGONS THEN

How many of our older readers
can remember back to the days when
all the circus shows travelled over
land, or in other words, by wagons.
Can you remember Of getting up In
the early morning hours and walk
Ing out from town one, two or three
miles to meet the show coming In?
And If perchance you had over
slept yourself how eagerly you
looked along the road for the ele-
plants tracks.
Circuses have changed. greatly in
the last twenty-five years. They
have become much larger and more
elaborate. travel altogether nova
days by rail and do not stop at the
small towns they used to make, but
the old saw dust smell remains the
same. The same stir of excitement
still attends the arrival of the cir
Gus, as In the olden days. You may

The John H. Sparks Worlds Fa-
nous Shows are billed to exhibit
here On Tuesday, April 80, and they
are coming heralded by the most
favorable newspaper criticisms
from many cities and towns where
they have already exhibited. From
the moment of early arrival of the
trains bearing these great shows un-
I'll their departure in the night it
is said that every consideration will
be shown the public. Those who are
interested IN the unloading will re-
ceive an early morning welcome at
the crossway where the work Is being
done, and may view the interesting
operation without fear of unpleasant
experience.
Every employee of the Sparks
Shows, from the highest superinten-
dent to the humblest stake Founders
have strict instructions to be polite
and courteous at all times, and in no
possible manner to offend the most
sensitive either by word of action.
Ladies without escorts and children
unattended are assured respectful
consideration around every depart
ment of the show as every employee
has been constituted a guardian for
their protection. In fact, nothing
has been left undone that would
enhance the comfort, pleasure and
peace of mind of the most aesthetic
patron OF this great circus aggrega-
ton.
