One Deer Only.

The Michigan legislature made a
number of important changes in the
game laws, which will go into effect be-
fore the opening of the hunting season
next fall.
The new law provides for a hunters
license. 1t also limits the number of deer
a hunter can kill on single license to
one but it can be either buck or doe.
The present law permits two. 1t allows
nonresident hunter to take his deer
home with him If he lives in another
state. 1t permits the sale o rabbits in
the open market, The present law,
while permitting the shooting Of rabbits,
forbids their sale. 1t fixes a uniform
gun license of 81 for all hunters, except
that nonresident deer hunters must
contribute to pay the old license fee of
$25. Persons who shoot only in the
country where they live are exempt
from the ST license.

Havana, May 19.-In a flight which

BARNUM AND BAILEY CIRCUS
AT FLINT
Great Spectacle of cleopatra" Be-
gins Regular Performance

The Barnum and Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth and newly added
spectacle of cleopatra" will exhibit
In Flint on June 8. The spectacle in
itself is an attraction that should
fill the big tent at each performance
and draw thousands of visitors from
the surrounding districts. 1t Is be-
yond question the greatest prrduc-
ton of It's kind ever seen in America.
The worlds most skillful scenic
atists, costumers, property builders,
chorus directors and stage managtrs
were engage dto mount the produc-
ton. A stage bigger than hun
dred ordinary theaters was built and
made portable so that it can be con-
veyed from town to town and erect
ed each day in the main tent. The
circus proprietors have thus made
it possible for those who live in con-
tributory towns, even farmers and
their families, to see the magnificent
wordless play that is an immense at
| traction in the largest cities. 1t is
enacted with a cast of 1850 actors,
a grand opera chorus, an orchestra
of 100 soloists, ballet of $50 dane
| ing girls, $50 horses, five herds of
elephants, caravans of camels, and a
trainload of special devices, costumes,
and scenery and electrical mechanism
for producing such effects as light
ming, thunder, sand storms on the
desert. volcanoes in action, sunrise,
floods, and mirages.
| The realism of the scenery is per-
/ feet. 1t is as though the audience
was looking into the streets of Alex
andria in the day of Ptolemys. The
streets throb with their strange COS
mopolitan life. In the middle dis
lance flows the Nile, the mighty py-
ramids and the Sphinx looking down
from past ages. Beyond them stretch
endless wastes Of sand. The laure-
ats of a dead race speak from for
gotten tombs. The walls of Time
fall down, and we see The court of
cleopatra during it's years of extra
vagance and revelry, and hear the
story of the betrayal of Rome and
the undoing of Marc Antony, told
lin a wildly realistic way. The in
lcidental music was arranged by Fal-
tits Effendi, late bandmaster o. the
lKhedive of Egypt. The ballet is un-
der the direction of OttoEar Bartik
balletmaster of the Metropolitan
lGrand Opera Company.
The regular circus program is the
finest the BarEum and Bailey man
lagement has ever offered. Thrilling
lacts are presented by Miss Bird Mill
man, the strangest and most beautl'
full woman before the public; Mae
Wirth, the greatest Of all riders, q
company of Japanese wrestlers, ath'
letes, swordsmen and jiu jitsu ex'
perts, the Five Baltons, strong WON
len. There are 400 performers. In
1.-The menagerie will be found the only
baby giraffe on exhibition in the
world. There will be parade al

We've had all kinds of trouble
down at our house lately" said a lad
"You see father has had habit of go
ing into the pantry each night and
drinking up all the milk. Mother thou
ght it was the cats so she fixed up
some flour and water. Father didn' Z
know the difference. He didn't leave
any for the cat, Soon father had a
funny pain in his stomach. He tried to
speak but his lips were sealed. Every
time he moved you could here cracking
noises. Mother got scared and sent
for the doctor. The doctor came and
looked at father and said "stick out
his tongue" but father couldn't. 1t
was " stuck in. Then mother and j
held him while the doctor took a poker
and pried fathers mouth He looked in
and said: Mrs. the mans full of sour
dough! The doctor made us carry father
into the stove. Father got awful hot
and soon he threw up ten hot biscuits,
three pies and loaf of homemade
bread. Father said to the doctor how
much do owe you? The doctor, said
ten dollars. Father still had some dough
so he caughed it up.

WASHINGTON, May Il. Eastern rail-
roads failed to appear to-day before
the Interstate Commerce Committee
with a request for . horizontal increase
In freight rates. President willard Of
the Baltimore ana Ohio. representing
roads IN the ofYiciai classification terri
tory east OF the Mississippi and north of
the Chesapeake and Ohio line. was ex.
pected to present an application In some
form. The roads may have abandoned
their proposed demand In view Of con-
tinued prosperous business and the GER
tainty Of arousing great opposition.
Representatives OF shippers are pre-
pared with figures to show greatly in
creased net earnings of railroads de-
spite increases In wages and expenses.
One statement issued by shippers states
that comparing eight months ending
with February Of the current nscal year
with the same period Of 1910 shows that
the combined roads enjoyed an increase
OF 3 per cent. In net operating income
per mile Of road even with Increased
wages.
Another statement made comparison
Of the ten year period between 1901 and
1910. showing that railroads increased
the gross amount paid in dividends from
$50. 10000 10 s+o6, 900 per year.
also that two-thirds Of outstanding rail.
road stock was paying dividends in 1910.
a. compared with only ons-hak the out
standing stock ten years previously.
II was stated later that an attorney
representing Eastern railroads will ap.
pear before the Interstate Commerce

favor OF per cent. increase In
