Sparks circus, second only to
Ringing Bros and Forepaugh' S
big shows, will show at Eagle

twenty car circus of merit new
er before seen in Eagle River.
Almost four hundred people are
employed in the show and they
carry over two hundred animals
both foreign and domestic. A
menagerie of great value is a big
feature of the circus.
1t is a safe, clean show. No
fakirs or gamblers travel with it
and the patrons are guaranteed
a circus that shows in cities Of
much larger population than
Eagle River. But circumstances
give this town a chance to see
the famous Sparks circus.
In order to have the circus at
Ironwood for July 4th, the Bust
ness Mems League of that city
has guaranteed the circus 700
receipts. July 7th they show at
Crandon which leaves July 9TH
an open date. Eagle River is for
tunate enough to be in the route
and the big show will be here en-
masse on the second day of the
three day celebration at this
place. Ordinarily no circus of
this size could visit Eagle River
but widespread advertising and
special trains will make it posi-
BILE for this town to be the cen
trail point for everybody within
a radius of thirty and forty miles.
Among their attractions the
circus carries a baseball team of
which several members are ex-
leaguers. They will play the
local team TulV 9Th.
Sunday, July 9th, Eagle River

NOT HARD TO MAKE A GUESS
Asylum superintendent Does Not Re-

it Lunatle, but We Know it.


The lunatics tore up and down the
white beach; they howled and leaped
in the blue sea, quite like sane peo-
pie.
They enjoy the summer outing at
our shore branch" the superintendent
said. ut does 'em good, poor dubs!
Its, funny thing about luna
tics relatives. There are reliable sta
tistics about the way lunatic's rela-
tives stand by him
THE relative who stands by luna
tic least, who stops visiting him in
the asylum first of all, is a brother.
The next relative to drop OF is a
wife. That sounds hard, but it's true.
Don't count on your wife if you are
going to become lunatic. Next, hus-
bands drop Off A little truer than
wives husbands are, but only little.
Next fathers abandon the lunatic.
Next sisters.

regularly on visiting day, bringing un-
derwear and ties, cakes and tobacco

tics a male. If it's a female this
relative is equally faithful. And even
though, as sometimes happens, the
poor, mad creature hates her, curses
her, tries to strike her when she visits
him, she still remains faithful. When
her visits cease they cease for only
one reason-death.
Nor do l need to tell you which

NO POSSIBILITY OF DOUBT
Why Western Bishop Was Convinced

A western bishop once attended a

was entertained by New England

lovable, lineage. They made no So
cret of a time-won superiority over
any one from the new and crude west,
and cited their Pilgrim ancestors CON
stantly. The bishop was minded to
bear this in Christian humility and
forbearance, and did. But on his re-
turn home, he recounted his experil
ences to the wife; and she, good soul.

of her kind to do, even where mere
man must be silent. M
Il don't believe that their family
is such an old one" she remarked.
Are you sure that their ancestors
were Pilgrims?"

the bishop. This may seem to be
exaggeration, but at times you could
