AN INSTRUCTIVE
ZOOLOGY DISPLAY

The menagerie and wild beast ex-
hibit offered by the Sun Brothers
Worlds Progressive Shows this season
is distinct departure. Here will be
seen on exhibition the choicest selec-
tions of the zoolcgic creation. They
are all exhibited in massive and COM
modious cages and so arranged that all
visitors to the shows can get an unob.
structed view of them.
Uniformed keepers will be in attend
ance to explain the different chaIac-
teristics and habits of the animals.
The wild beasts are looked after with
tenderest care, both on account of their
extraordinary value and the fact that
few can be duplicated at any price.
This exhibition is not a collection of
wild animals such as are commonly
seen in geological displays. Each is, a
splendid speciman OF its kind and
treated with the utmost tenderness and
care.
The performing section of the Big
Top performance rs it is known in
show parlance, is all new this season.
An imperial program lasting two hours
in duration is offered by artist of int9r-
national reputation, including ring per-
formers, clowns, aerial artists, sonsa-
tional specialists, performing horses,
trained elephants, acrobatic dogs, edu-
Gated ponies, trained lions and leopards
and various other features of human
and animal nature, some familiar but
most exclusive. The Royal Court Jap
anese Acrobatique Company; the re-
nowned Cevene Troupe; the E!ectii-
que De Ramos, the Mexican Juan De
Zamora Aerial Troupe, from the city
of Mexico; the Great Barnetts; Miss
Adele Dutton, The Equestric Queen,
are among the star headlineys in this
big diversity of good things.
This show will spread its tents on
the grounds at Johnson City, Monday
Sept. 16. one day only, afternoon and
night.

THE SOLDIERS ARE
GIVEN THIRD PLACE

TIE agony is over and the pennant

got the bunting but it did so by defeat
ing other teams than Johnson City.
In twenty-five games played between
johnson City and Bristol Johnson City
won fifteen. But the race is not al
ways the swift and therefore Johnson
City is in third place in the official
standing, with the best team in the
league. Manager Taylor has reason
to congratulate himself on the way his
team has responded to his manage

II is an assured fact that there will be
professional baseball here next year

DEMOCRAT FOR CON-
GRESS IN FIRST DISTRICT

From the KNOXVILLE Sentinel.
"Democrats OF the first congressional
district should by all means run some
democrat for congress in that district
in the interst of the national ticket
SO that full vote will be polled on
the democratic side. Republicans have
two candidates and every republican
Will be brought to the polls, said a
well known upper East Tennessee
democrat who is here attending SUI
preme court.
"Who do you think would be good
man to run?" asked reporter for The
Sentinel.
The gentlemen replied; "There are
100 in the first district, any one of
whom would make good race and if
elected would make a good congress
man. We cannot tell what might
happen. If you wanted a candidate
from SEWER county, there is John b.
Brabson,. better known as "Farmer"
Brabson, who is a sure enough farmer
and would make an able congressman.
Then there is w. o. Minis, of Cooke
county, who is an able speaker and a
brilliant young lawyer. He could go
hunting for both bull moose and white
elephant. In Hawkins county, there
is S, l.. Chestnut. In Hancock is
Robert Coleman. In Washington is

there are number of available candi-
dates, Hugh II. Gouchenour, who at
one time reduced the Brownlow ma
jority to 1900 and also Oscar M. Dug
ger, Luke Trim, and a number of
others. In Garter county is Dayton
Hunter. In Unicoi is l.. II. Berry. In
Sullivan Judge G. j. st. John and
Judge Robert Burrow and J. Harry
Swan, the boy orator, and Others are
available. In fact the woods are full
of good men. In the past we have
been allowing the republicans to run
two candidates and the vote goes to
the republican ticket, many democrats
not taking part. Democrats will make
a mistake if they don't put out some

why Cinnamon Arc Poor Soldiers.

why Cinnamon Arc Poor Soldiers.
The Chinaman Is a poor soldier. Not
that he Is lacking in courage, for on
occasions he cheerfully sells himself
as substitute and goes willingly to the
executioner's Ak In order to provide his
parents with the small sum necessary
to support them through life. The
strength Of an army Is in team work,
and here is where he fails on account
Of his aversion to being ordered. This
Is found in his domestic and industrial
work. A general line Of policy or de-
sired results can be laid down. and he
will faithfully work In accordance
Herewith. but he dislikes to be follow
ed up through the details OF the work
with frequent orders. He will produce
excellent results, but they must be &C.
complished In his W way; hence the
essence Of good militarism-prompt
and unquestioned obedience-comes In
direct conflict with his nature and
makes him a poor soldier. However.
this trait is not entirely wanting In
other ~nationallt1es, as every business
man knows to his sorrow, and the diff
fculty of getting employees to do a
thing in the prescribed way Is n Of
the constant anxieties.-H. n. Windsor
