Daddy: Bedtime
Windows
That Are Hard
To Break.


@ACK had broken d window playing ball, and, according to his mothers
3 rule, he had to buy a e pane out OF his spending money. So Jack
was really sorry and meant to be very careful not to play near the
- house as he had been forbidden to do.
They don't have glass windows in many houses in the Philippine islands"
daddy remarked.
Their houses must be very dark" Evelyn said. ~
# "Oh, no." daddy disagreed. THE houses are beautifully lighted They
have lovely windows, but you will never guess what they put into the panes.
"They use the shells Of little fishes. They take the shells, which are fiat
and OF good size, and polish them until they are transparent. Then the shells
are fitted into little frames and placed in the. windows.
"These windows are often very pretty in shape Some OF those ia the old
churches are charming. aw
with these there isn't 81 much danger OF the little Filipino children get
ting into trouble Of account OF breaking windows. for these shell panes are
really quite strong.
Thousands Of the little shells, which the Fnipinos call kapas, are gathered
by the fishermen. The shenfsh, whose houses they are live in the
water OF the ocean around the Philippine islands and are something like oys-
ters, except that they are much fatter. They fasten themselves TO q rock Or
to some other shelhsh and sit and dream away their little lives until the net
OF some fisherman gathers them In. and their little house OF shell is torn from
their back and polished to make tiny wtndoWpanes. #
"n hot countries like the Philippines windows are not really needed They
are perhaps more for show than for use, since TOR COMFORT windows must
generally be kept wide open 5## -

Herds Of elephants, ,camels, zehras,

You must go early to the circus, this
year, for, besides the yaks and the Cir
affes to be looked at in the cages, there
are h freaks. They will all be there,
from the lady in pink-who weighs
more than TOO pounds and is not even
trying to reduce-to the littlest person
in the world, Princess Wee Wee II
you accept the facts and figures of the
thoroughly honest-looking lecturer,
whose wife charms the snakes over in
the corner next to the giraffes, you will
set down the princess Us having at
tanned the stately height of nineteen
inches, and she looks precious little
taller than that.
Then there is a marvellous pair Of
African pygmies; there are the tatooed
men; there are the giant and giantess
and the India rubber man, and, above
all, the bearded lady, whose son is a
midget of 81 or thereabout, smoking a
huge cigar and looking down from the
platform in a very superior manner on
his father, who strolls around admir-
fngly among the spectators. But the
freak who will be watched with the
deepest interest by the old folk among
the circus-goers is Zip, P. T. Barnum's
original What is it?"-that amiable
grotesque who has been with the cir
Gus for fifty years. He has come
back" and there will be gray-haired
men who swear they remember Zip

The circus, performance will be

at 8 o'clock at night. The spacious
entrance of the tents will be open an
hour earlier to receive the crowds
eager to view the Barnum & Bailey

the most complete and. accurate in the
since the last visit of the circus here
two years ago. Around the big
esplanade will range cage after cage
OF strange creatures from every
hemisphere. The CRATES, so rare that
only two Of the municipal zoos Of the
country now contain specimens, the
"blood-sweating'' hippopotamus and
the tWo-horned rhinocerous will at
tract most curious attention.
The spectacle Cleopatra" is the
most striking department of the circus
programme and it Is expected to
duplicate the sensation. it has created
wherever the show has appeared this
season. 1t takes you to ancient Egypt
without moving a muscle. All you
have to do is to sit in your seat, eat
popcorn and peanuts, and Egypt will
come to you. Five hundred horses, a
ballet of 400, and a chorus ever larger
participate in the gorgeous historical
production. Its action takes place on
a mammoth stage which occupies al
most one entire side of the tent. 1t
marks the advent of a new circus, in
which the hands, of a trained and i'm
aginative stage director; the musical
composer and the maitre de ballet are
received.
Assurance is given that the ensuing
entertainment in the rings, on the
stages, in the network Of aerial rig
ging and on the hippodrome oval will
introduce only masters and mistresses
or athletic and equestrian activity.
Victoria Davenport is the undisputed
champion girl bareback rider of the
world. Her companions, men and
women, follow closely in skill, nerve
and daring.
The, jlu jitsu experts display tricks
OF strength and agility that submerge
the minds of beholders il flood of
l~ncredulous amazement. They are
making their first tour of the country.
"A baseball game played by elephants
Will evoke wonder.
The circus will offer it's audience a
splendid chance of studying China,
the form of wrestling and self-defense
peculiar to the people of Iceland,
Johannes Josefsson and his troup
from the far north make their first
American appearance and what they
don't know about the gentle art OF
self-defense isn't worth knowing. The
lcelandic wrestlers rely largely upon
their foot work for overcoming ar
antagonist n contend that their
system is far and away ahead of that
pfactlced by the agile jiu jitsu gentle
AASii AIySdAtnSmum Island.
And so from wonder to wonder the
show will progress. Never before, the
Barnum & Bailey management is
sure, has the circus so triumphantly
justified it's t~ime-honored and uni
yersally bestowed title, THE Greatest
Show on Earth
For the convenience Of all who
desire to avoid the crowds and clamor
at the show grounds, tickets will be
on sale for both performances all day
tomorrow at Fout & Porterfeld's drus
store. The prices will be the same
as at the same as at the regular
ticket wagons at the scene of the
circus.

years 1t had sold at 200 and above and
paid 8 per cent dividends; under the
methods Of Mellen it dropped below
par and the dividend was cut TO 8 per
cent. These things and the others we
have mentioned brought about the un-
doing Of Mellen because the public,
which has the most vital interest in a
safely managed road, demanded It.
The incident may well serve as a
warning to other men of MelIen's cal
iber and methods. And there are these
others, as everybody Is we'll aware. ,

TRADE EXPANSION ERA.

Boosting parties usually go from
tory, seeking to advertise a community
and it's products, but these efforts to
boost trade are not necessarily con-
fined to ones own country.
3 It is an illustration Of the trend of
the times, a hint of the coming in
crease in world trade that will make
the America OF the future a beehive
OF industry, that a delegation from
the Boston Chamber Of Commerce,
has just returned from a booster trip
to South American countries where
they went to promote trade relations
with the great republics to the south
of us.
The visitors were much impressed
with the possibilities offered by the
South American countries and by their
reception in the chief cities. Every
where, they report, was found a
friendly feeling for the promulgator
OF the Monroe doctrine to the north.
A degree Of progress in a material
way, which can hardly be realized in
this country. was found, with splendid
modern cities, comfortable modes Of
travel and wonderful emery.
On their return the visitors decIar-
ed that South America is the natural
outlet for surplus products of the
United States, and that the merchants
of this country have needlessly per-
mitted millions of dollars worth Of
trade to be appropriated by foreign
countries. The completion of the
Panama canal. permitting a closer re-
lationship, and greatly facilitating the
shipment Of goods, was believed to
open up a new era in commercial re-
l~ations, if taken advantage of rightly.
For many reasons South America
would be a most desirable absorber Of
American surplus goods. The con-
tinent is nearer the feeling is, or
should be more cordial and the ma
tural are greater than else
where, and the trade of these southern
republics will expand for genera
lions.
This country has been busily engag-
ed in developing its own esources to
devote a great deal of attention to
securing the trade of South America
territory. But now it is the opinion
of The Forum that a new era Is about
to open for the United States. This
will be known as the era of the
development Of foreign trade.
The new tariff will be one of the
mean of bringing this about. The
Panama canal is another. The man
with a prophetic vision can see great
things in store for America in the
immediate future.
