Yankton Press: A Sioux City mar
recently visited his country cousin
over in Union county. The man from
the city, wishing to explain the joys
of metropolitan life, said: 1--WE have
certainly been having fun the last
few days. Thursday we autoed to
the Country club and golfed until
| dark then trollied back to town and
danced till morning" The country
cousin was not stumped in the least,
so he began telling of some of the
pleasures of the simple life: 1--WE
had pretty good times here, too. The
other day we buggied out to Uncle
Ned's, and went out to the back lot
where we baseballed all that after
noon. In the evening we sneaked UP
to the attic and pokered until norm.

listening, and not to be outdone, took

Bros. CIRCUS
WILL APPEAR IN MADISON MON
DAY, MAY %, IN ALL
THEIR GLORY.

Gollmar Bros. circus will appear in
Madison Monday, May rs. An inter
esting feature of the show is Capt.
Kent's trained seals.
Nature has apparently not provid-
ed them with symmetrical limbs,
with which to move upon land, nor
has she endowed them with the adj
vantages possessed by many sea-liy-
ing creatures, yet this seemingly al
most helpless beast is one of the most
capable of the lower animals as is
most surprisingly shown by the mar
.~velously exact difficult feats of Jug
Cling, balancing and catching, accom-
plished by the members Of Captain
Kent's troupe, while their conception
of comedy is plainly shown by the
many funny situations presented in
their human-like exhibitions, in
which they enact actual comedy
plays. That they enjoy music is be-
yond question. Captain Kent has
among his troupe a number of seals
who actually approach a melody in
their songs, while their performance
on musical instruments, though not
rivaling a Maestro in a musical sense
still shows them to be interested il
producing sound. Captain Kent il
the originator of this special class Of
trained animal acts. While IN {
cruise i'm the sea- of the far north
a number of years ago, Captain Ken
was ice-bound for a number %
months off the northeast coast o
Greenland, and here, far away from
the civilized world, home and friends
during the long sunless days of al
: Arctic winter, the first troupe of per
forming seals was perfected. With
score of these furry-coated pets as hi
only companions, save his ships com
pany of hardy sailors, he was givel
an opportunity to study their nature
and possibilities, of which he ha
taken full advantage in p~erfectini
them in their Astonishing perform
ances. While it is true that other
have since attempted to initiate hi
accomplishments, though with les
than Indifferent success, he is tn,
originator, and SO far the only reall,
successful trainer of seals for exhibi
tional purposes, and his act stand
today alone, the most unique traine'
animal show the world has ever seer

WHAT'S TO BECOME OF THE
DRINEER2

One hundred and twenty-six men
were recently discharged from the
employ of the Pittsburg and Lake
Erie railroad for drinking. The COM
pany had warned all employees that
they would either have to stop drink
ing or leave the employ of the COM
.pany.
Surgeon General Maus Of the Unit
ed States army recently recommend
ed in a public report that mo one
who uses alcoholic beverages should
be appointed to any important posi-
ton, civil or military, to the COM
mand of military or naval forces, or
for any other position of importance
and responsibility"
At a recent meeting of the Trans
portation Club of Toledo, Ohio, one
of the speakers said: THE trans
portation interests of this country
demand men with clear brains and
steady nerves. A great railroad had
a bad wreck not long ago. Upon in
vestigation it was found that the en-
gineer had been on a spree. The
company has issued an order forbid
ding any of its men to visit saloons,
and even a moderate drinker will be
instantly dismissed. What is bad for
the man at the throttle is equally bad
for the man who sits in the directors
chair or at the presidents desk"
A young man lately seeking en-
ployment in a certain city looked in
vain for a job until his father accom-
panied him to one of the proprietors
of a large wholesale house. After
some conversation the proprietor
consented to give the young man a
trial, but turning to him said EN-
phatically, Now. my young friend, If
you want to work here you will have
to cut out booze and e~igarets. We
don't employ that kind"
What's to become of the drinker?
The railroads don't want him. From
the humblest job to the highest there
is no place for him. He is not want
ed for any important position either
civil or military; he cannot be elected
to any high office within the gift o.
the people; the banks do not wan
him; the farmer has no use for him
Who wants the drinker?
The p~enitentiary, the insane asy
lum, the inebriate asylum, the aims
house may receive him in due eours
of time, but who would aim to fl
himself for such a future as these in
situations represent? What's to be
come of the drinker? 1t is a ques
ton to which the youth of today ma,
we'll give some serious thought.-Lo
cal w. G.. t. II.

For Divine Sarah.

Paris, Feb. AT last Sarah Bern
hardt's past has been forgotten, and she
has got the Red Ribbon of the Legion
D'Honneur. The coveted honor was
conferred upon a number OF other
French actresses since Sarah achieved
greatness, and Of course none OF the
other actresses compared with Sarah in
ability and in genius. But they didn t
have past, at least none on which the
Chancellor OF the Legion D'Honneur
could base a protest.
Several Ministers OF Cult proposed
Sarah for the Red Ribbon, but her past
always stood in the way OF fulfillment,
that past being crystallized in sour
rilous book, supposed to be an autobiog-
raphy. The book, entitled Memoirs
Of Sarah Bernhardt," was written by
one OF Sarah s ex-friends, Marie Colom-
bier, with whonl she had quarreled.
Marie got three months in goal for her
pains and Sarah bought up all the cop
les OF her alleged memoirs she could
get hold OF. But she couldn't get back
the copies deposited in the various state
institutions and Libraries, and these cop
les stood in the way of ultimate vindi-
cation. Whenever her name was pro-
posed for the role OF honor, some enemy
Of hers printed few chapters from the
memoirs, or hinted at them. Now that
she has got the red ribbon, the memoirs
and the past will be forgotten; let us
hope so, at least.
