One evening as she swayed with

QUALITIES OF THE AYRSHIRE
Animal is Quite Intelligent, Quick to
Learn and of RetentiVe Memory
Easy TO Milk.

The general appearance of an Ayr
shire as you look at her, is striking,
being alert and full of life and re-
served energy. She is healthy COW,
rarely having ailments of body and
udder, and you seldom see an Ayrshire
COW but that has four healthy quar-
ters in her udder and gives uniform
quantity of milk from each. She is
very persistent mixer, giving a
uniform quality well up toward calv-
Ing, and many of them are dried off
with difficulty.
She is very intelligent, quick to
learn and of a retentive memory,
easily taught to take the same place
In the stable and if required to
change, will in a few days readily
take the new place. She is quiet
and pleasant to milk, not easily dis
turbed, and will as a rule yield her
milk as readily to one mixer as TO
another, and does not seem disturbed
by any amount of noise in the stable.
AS dairy COW she is particularly
adapted TO the production of milk for
the milkman and for table use. as her
medium size, vigorous appetite and
easy keeping qualities make her an
economical producer. while her even,
uniform production makes her a reli-
able supply. and the richness of her
milk in total solids places it above
suspicion from city milk inspectors
Her milk is particularly adapted to
transportation, as it does not churn
or sour easily and when poured back
and forth a few times will readily
mix the cream back into the milk,
which will not again readily separate,
giving it a uniform quality until the
last is sold or used 1t has a good
body, is rich looking and never looks
blue. The milk itself being easily
balanced with casein and butter fat,
Is a complete food, easily digested,
nutritious, and is particularly adapted
to children and invalids Stomachs

CIRCUS IS HERE
ON WEDNESDAY
BARNUMA AND BAILEY, THE BIG
GEST SHOW ON EARTH, WILL
PRESENT MANY NEW FEA.
TuRES.

Was there ever a herald like the
man who announces the approach of
the circus? Was there ever a more
grandiloquent utterance than his? Was
there ever herald who was heard more
willingly or who held his audience
more surely? He comes out of tie
winter with superb confidence; he
moves briskly. he talks loudly, he
proclaims the wonders of his tents in
convincing superlatives. Everybody
reads his proclamations and practi-
cally everybody responds with de-
termination to attend. There is in it
a pleasant anticipation for all-for the
young because the experience is new,
and for hose Who are older because
of the memories awakened-the mem
cries of a boy or girl who years ago
stood before the bilboards and mar
veled at the. unfamiliar animals and
acrobatic feats there pictured, who
stood in the trong upon the street
and saw the parade go by and who
later saw the reality from some hard
earned seat under the canvas.
The circus, like loves story, is old
but never new. AS baseball is the
national sport, the circus is the ma
tional amusement. 1t is purely demo-
cratic institution, giving alike for the
same price to the rich and the poor,
and holding them all in the same
thrall of expectancy and wonder. 1t
has gone on so long that there seems
to- be no reason why it should not 60
on forever.

ties of the theatrical season Is a big
dress rehearsal scene which Mort Fl.
Singer has introduced into Miss No
body from Starland," the successful
musical revue which ran for over three
hundred performances at the Princess
Theatre, Chicago. Mr.. Singer literal
~ takes the audience out of their seats
| to the stage and shows them how a
production looks from the other side
of the footlights. This splendid attrac-
ton will be seen at the opera house
ore night only, Wednesday November
9Th. Although there is riotous spirit
of travesty throughout the dress re-
hearsal scene, making it a continuous
series of laughs, one following the 9TH
er at lighting speed, this scene has
opened the eyes Of the public to some
Of the accidents and disadvantages
with which a manager has to contend
when he stages a production worth
many thousands Of dollars. Before the
performance, the stage manager calls
dress rehearsal. Principals, chorus
boys and girls, authors. stage hands
and all the back stage characters ap-
pear busily engaged in obeying the
orders Of the despotic stage manager.
The audience witnesses the despera-
ton of the stage manager when the
actors forget their lines and cues,
stage hands forget to fire the shots in
a battle" and the gaudily bedecked
boat in which the male star makes his
entrance sticks and refuses to ride
the canvas pillows" The elimination
of the stage managers trouble comes
when stage hand forgets to turn on

the curtain descends amid the stage
managers walls of Where in hell is
the rain storm ?" Olive Vail appears
as the star in this production, and she
will be supported by a cast of well
known principals. and a large beauty
chorus. The scenic and costume pro-
duction is one of the most preten-
tious on tour.
