Vulnerable details connected with the

1t is really a credit and a benefit
to any community to have a show of
such magnitude and character as the
Gollmar Brothers Circus visit it, and
its coming to this city at an early date
will certainly please the lovers of in
nocent amusements. The fact that the
Gollmar Brothers Shows are in the
very foremost rank of such amuse-

own as to exceptional merit, is sure
to cause an unusually liberal patronage

Gollmar Brothers Circus is one of
the biggest; it is ten-acre depart
ment store, whose wares consist of
amusements. People who patronize

Circus will be able to every act;
but 1T is expected that he will. not
have any trouble to find what he likes
to see. The management has so ar
ranged its programme that acts suit
able to the. great variety of tastes are

COL 0MBIA EMERALD IS BEST
WorId's Supply Of Those Precious
Stones Now Comes from South
r. American Republic.

For its supply Of the precious stone
OF, beryl variety, known as the emer-
cid, the world relies upon the mines
Of the republic OF Colombia. From
these mines the most valuable single
emerald of modern times was OBJ
tanned, now forming one Of the gems
OF the collection Of the duke of Devon
shire. It is perfect hexagonal crys-
tai, weighing eight ounces and eigh-
teen pennyweights. Another fine spect-
men, in the Hope cabinet, weighs six
ounces, while larger but less valuable
gems are in various royal caskets.
The true emeralds of the ancfents
are said to have been obtained from
the workings of Mount Zabarah, In
Upper Egypt, although the reopening
of the mines In the nineteenth century
by Mehemet Ali did not prove COM
'mercially profitable. In this district
was probably mined the jewel adorn-
ing the brsastplate of Aaron, de-
scribed in Mosaic writings and form
ing part, possibly, of the spo1ls car
ried from Egypt by the departing Is
raelites.
The huge emerald used by Emperor
Nero as a corrective for his poor VI
sion; the engraved emeralds set In
gold, presented by Ptolemy to Lucul-
lus on his landing at Alexandria; the
robes worn by Cleopatra and other
famous beauties of the past, whose
enbroideries were interspersed with
emeralds, and the exquisitely craven
seals OF antique workmanship on
viev in museums and private collec-
tions all prove the esteem in which
the emerald was held. Ornaments OF
emeralds have been unearthed in
Theban tombs and excavated from
Pompeii and Herculaneum, and in all
ages. the stone has been classed
among the rarest of gems.

If anybody had suggested to Miss
May Forbes, Of Forbes Manor, that
she wiring the neck Of the parrot she
had had for q pet for the last three
years, she would have given that per.
son q glance so awful that con.
gestive chill must have followed. That
parrot had scream that could be
heard half q mile away against the
wind. She could say that Polly want.
ed a cracker. : She could hang head
downwards from her perch. When a
stranger called. especially subscrip.
ton book agent with large family
to support. she could inquire in ag.
gressive tones what in the devil he
wanted. ~ + 1913
That parrot had q score or more of
cute and cunning tricks, and there
was a bit of sentiment connected with
her besides. A sea captain had
brought her back from a far-off land,
presented her to Miss May with his
love, and had then sailed away again
with a shipload of kerosene in blue
painted barrels and had never been
heard of since. Not a barrel had
come ashore. Not one Of the crew
had turned up on South street to ex-
plain over his beer that the captain
was or was not doing as we'll as could
be expected under the circumstances.
Miss Forbes was not one to crush out
sentiment by wringing q \ parrots
neck. Ea 49,. ss& s;S.
One day, while hurrying home for
fear Polly might be lonesome. the
young lady stumbled over barrel
that some boy had left on the side
walk. She was carried home and the
doctor called. He could flnd no brok-
en- bones, but after long and. serious
thought he decided that she had
wrenched herself and must take the
tenderest care Of herself for many
days to come. And now, while prop

and as they pass singing for rain
the householders drench them with
buckets of water. ''The ceremony"
says DR.. Frazer, regularly takes
place all over .Roumania on the third
Tuesday after Easter, but it may be
expected at any time of drought DUR
ing the summer
There is yet another wetting Rou-
mania custom described in the Cold
en- Boughs. Sometimes when rain is
needed, we are told the Roumanians
make clay figure to represent
drought, cover it with a pail and
place it in an open coffin. Girls
crouch around the coffin and lament,
saying, Drought is dead! Lord
give us rain!" Then the coffin is
carried by the children in funeral
procession with burning wax cand-
lie before it, while lamentations fill
the air. Finally they throw the cof-
fin and the candle into stream or

In unspoiled parts of Russia the
popular methods of influencing the
weather are less funeraal Some
times, for instance, DR.. Frazer tells
us, latter service in church the
priest in his robes has been thrown
down on the ground and drenched
with water by his parishioners. =
In Kursk, a province of Southern
Russia, when rain is much wanted
the women seize passing stranger
and throw him into the river or
souse him from head to foot
II you are going to spend your
holidays in Southern Russia it is as
well that you should know this.
Otherwise you might come away
with the totally false impression
that strangers are unpopular in
those parts-London Daily News.

age turned tails and went the other
way on a record vote.
The record, vote was secured by
Mr.. Palmer through a motion to
recommit the bill with instructions
to the committee to bring it back
with the mileage allowance cut in
two. On this SO members voted yea
and 1923 voted nay. The motion
was lost, but it showed that the
movement to eliminate the mileage
graft is gaining in strength.
A request for an additional $780,
600 for expenses of the House of
representatives, together with the
attempt to cut in two the mileage
of senator and representatives, threw
the House into a debate on expenses
that is considered prophetic of the
sessions that are to come. The
Republican charge that the Demo-
Gratis had lost track of their economy
program brought out reply in the
form of Representative Palmer's
resolution to cut the mileage in
half.-R. F. D. News.

Little Things That Expose
Forged Signatures to Hand
writing Experts.

Forgery has great attraction to
a certain element of the criminal
world. Some are SO skillful in this
line of work as to get past the most
eagle eyed bank teller, but always
when the microscope is brought into
play it is possible to detect the fraud,
or, if not the microscope, then more
modern testing appliances are used.
Here is a secret divulgred by man
who has made study of handwrit-
ing: No person ever yet wrote his
name twice alike In some small or
big detail one signature always diff
fers from another. Therefore when
the same mans name appears twice
alike-as it does in the course of
business events, when the forger gets
after little easy coin-there must
be matter of tracing. 1t stands to
reason that the exact fac smile of
the one has been gained by the over
lay or tracing process.
When a man undertakes to write
another mans name in the free hand
style of Jim the Penman there is
always noticeable to the practiced
eye cramping movement or a radi-
cal departure from the way in which
the name should be written. Such
a small thing as the particular posi-
ton of the dot above the i,'' for
instance, will reveal forgery, or the
crossing Of the ''t'' or the shading Of
up or down strokes. A man will
overlook the fact that the name he is
writing when written by it's owner
always leaves the straight line at
certain letter and returns on another
certain letter. Some business men
place after their signatures on checks
a period, some a comma, some a
rough star, others short or a long
dash, making the genuineness of the
signature depend more upon this
slight characteristic than the name
itself.-New York Tribune.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-01-25
How They Break a Drought in
the Balkans.

The tricks are many and various
by which members of the human
race have tried to bring rain in time
of drought There is village in
Russia, for instance, where three
men used to climb certain fir trees
in seasons of drought, one of the
three having a vessel of water
which he would sprinkle all around.
One of the two others hammered
on a kettle or made some similar
noise in the hope of thereby produc-
ing thunder and the third scattering
sparks from firebrands as a warning
to the lightning to make haste. The
Golden Bough gives a host of in
stances of similar ceremonies as
they have been observed in differ
ent parts of the world.
In Roumania, Servia, and other
countries the charm for rain is more
picturesque. Here troop of girls,
the leader of whom is naked save
for the covering of leaves. herbs and
flowers, goes in procession from
