SelS-FlOtO Buffalo Bill
At MedfOrd

Comes now the time when the
small boy dreams of elephants and
tigers and beautiful women in span
giles and tinsel. Comes now the time
OF the flaring barn-sides, for the Sbig
show is on the way. On next Con-
day the Sells-Floto Circus and Buff
falo Bill (himsel) will exhibit in
Medford for one day, and many per-
sons from the surrounding country
are planning holiday that they hay
see the exhibition.
And an exhibition worth seeing it
is, too. Especially this year, owing
to it's doubled size and the added at
traction of Buffalo Bill, his riders and
ropers, his ranch girls, his soldiers
and his Indians, who, under the per-
sonal direction of the famous scout,
will present new spectacle entitled
"Warpath,' in which the progress of
civilization is shown from the time
of the frontier to the present day.
AS for the circus proper, there are
many things of interest. Among the
attractions are Fora and her three
herds of performing elephants; Cap
tain Dutch Ricardo, with his trained
but untamed lions, tigers and leops
ards; Rhoda Royal with his troupe of
high school and tango dancing horses,
the Stickney and Hobson families of
riders, Paulo and Gregg, the tight
rope walking horses; Omar, the bal
loon horse; the five U. S. government
hyneys, forty clowns--and there real
ly are forty-more than a hundred
contortionists, aerialists, tumblers
and acrobats, whole congress OF
pretty, shapely equestriennes, and
many other features.
And therell be parade, of course
1t will come at 1890 o'clock the
morning of the shows exhibition in
Medford and everything will be dis
played. The animal cages will be
open, the nine bands playing their
best, the Vocalina, the Great Seren-
adum and other wonders of the cir
Gus on view; there will be four hun
dred and fifty horses in the line of
the spectacle which will cover two
miles, and the whole great cavalcade
will be led by Col. w. F. Cody, Buff
falo Bill, himself.
However, in spite of the fact that
the show this year is double the size
of other years, the price has not been
changed. 1t still remains 25 cents
general admission.

EXHIBITS OF BAD TASTE.

There is being conducted, at the
"modernist studios in New York,
what is called an exhibition of bad
taste" 1t contains typical styles Of
house furnishing of twenty-four or
more years ago. There are shown
horsehair furniture, wax flowers,
homemade paintings, ornate china,
eccentric statuary, God bless our
home" notices, etc.
The preceding generation had
many very grotesque ideas about fur
nishing n home Yet many people
who laugh at these peculiarities may
select home setting that will seem
just as ridiculous in another quarter
century.
Possibly our children will laugh
at the fake oriental rugs that many
wealthy people are now spreading on
their floors. The idea has gotten
abroad that anything bearing the tai
ismanic name of some Persian or
Turkish city is blessed by sweet and
flowing harmonies OF color.
AS fact, the oriental rug busi-
ness is very much commercialized to-
day. Many of the older rug makers
had wonderfully true sense of color
harmonies. They produced an article
thta had artistic feeling and also wore
a lifetime.
Now the rug makers are running
workshops and making rugs for the
wealthy American homes to order at
high prices. The most garish and
strident combinations of color are
hashed together. Very likely the
product will wear no better than
well-made American factory rug.
There has been a violent fluctua-
tiOn of furniture style from the
scroll-saw period to the angular Sc
verify of the mission type. On the
whole, the change to simplicity was
welcome. But it has made many liv-
ing rooms look as bare and angular
as a business office.
If furniture is simple, 80 as not to
catch dust, and If it is comfortable,
inviting and honey, the modern
lists" will never get much chance to
laugh at it. One good test of the
good taste of a purchase is whether
you make 1t to use or to look at.

1t can no longer be taken for
granted that women are destitute of
business ability, and the man who
looks with contempt on her as ad-
wiser and helper is getting away from
the path that leads to peace and
plenty-the path that we designed
for them in the beginning when it
was given to the man and woman
together to have dominion over every
living thing that moveth upon the
earth

A good example is the best teach
er. Precepts are useless if contra
dicted by our daily living. If we are
slaves to our evil passions, how can
we teach our children self-control?
If we sometimes speak or act an un-
truth. we cannot expect them to be
truthful. Do not scold; do not use
harsh words; for they will surely be
reflected in your children.

Praise your wife sometimes. She
works hard enough as a general
thing with small compensation and
less cheer than any other member of
the family. You like to be told that
you can do your particular kind of
work better than any one else can,
so why should you withhold the same
merited praise from the woman who
makes and keeps your home bright
for you?

Our life abroad is but reflex of
what it is at home. We make our
selves in great measure at home.
This is especially true of women.
The woman who is rude, coarse and
vulgar at home cannot be expected
to be chase and refined in the world.
She cannot shake them off. They
are woven into the web OF her life.

The perfect home is one where no
least detail of courtesy is omitted be-
tween husband and wife, parents and
children, masters and servants; but
where this good breeding is not the
slavish obedience to a set of fixed
rules, but of honest respect for in
dividual rights and heartfelt desire
on the part of each one to be as
agreeable and beloved as is possible.

Learn to keep your own troubles
to yourself. The world is too busy
to care for your ills and sorrows.
Learn to stop croaking. If you can
not see any good in the world, learn
to keep the bad to yourself. Learn to
hide your pains and aches under a
pleasant smile. No one cares to hear
whether you have the earache, head
ache or rheumatism. Don't cry.
Tears do we'll enough in novels, but
they are out of place in real life.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen

Encourage your child to be merry
and to laugh aloud; good, hearty
laugh expands his chest and makes
his blood bound merriIy along. Com
mend me to good laugh-not to a
little staggering laugh, but to one
that sounds through the house; it
will not only do your child good, but
will be a benefit to all who hear, and
be an important means of driving the
blues away from a dwelling. Merri-
ment is very catching and spreads in
a remarkable manner, few being able
to resist the contagion. A hearty
laugh is delightful harmony; indeed,
it is the best of all music.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1914-05-07

Make a home; beautify and adorn
it; cultivate all heavenly charms
within it, sing sweeter songs of love
in it; bear your portion of toll, and
pain, and sorrow in it; coin daily
lessons of strength and patience
there; shine like star on the face
of the darkest night over it. High
on the pinnacle, above all earthly
grandeur, all gaudy glitter, all fam
cied ambitions, set the home inter
ests. Feed the mind in it; feed the
soul in it; strengthen the love and
charity, and truth, and all holy and
good things within it.

JUDGE NAMED TO TRY BANK CASE.
Luther m. Burch, Jackson Attorney,
Has Accepted Wall Win Push
Cases to Trial.

jackson. Miss, Dec. 1.-After
casting about. Brewer announced
this afternoon that he had decided
to appoint Luther M. Burch, u
prominent young Jackson attorney,
to sit as special judge at the trial
of the Brookhaven bankers. Mr..
Burch has accepted the commission.
and will at once enter upon trial
of the case.
This case has caused Gov. Brewer
and those responsible for the pro-
ceedings Of the trial no little
trouble.
In the first place, it was found
impossible to try the cases in Lin
coin County. and so change of
venue was Pranted by acting Judge
Barbour, to Copiah County, where,
according to former arrangements,
they were to have been called for
trial at this term of court. But it
became necessary for Judge Bar
bour to recuse himself from sitting
further in the case, for reasons stat
ed to the governor, and so he has
stepped down and out from the
case altogether.
Since last week Gov. Brewer has
been confronted with the task of
finding another lawyer to try the
case, one which he finds exceed
ingIy difficult. For lawyers, this
is about the busiest time of the
year, and almost all of them are
crowded with work, either in the
chancery or circuit courts or
the supreme court. Today, Hugh
V. Wall. district attorney of the
Fourteenth District, who was at the
Capital, declared that he intends to
do everything in his power to bring
the cases of Becker and associates
to trial at this term. There will
be two weeks left after the present
of the Copiah term, and when once
started the trial will consume all
of that time and may exceed it
Mr.. Wall suggested to the Cover
nor. and to Judge Barbour. that
the latter call in Judge R. E. Jack
son, of the Sixth District. which |
adjoins Judge Holden's. who could
spare the time.
Gov. Brewer was in receipt of a |
letter from Judge Jackson during |
the day that even had he been call
ed in, he could not have acted, ow-
ing to relationship to parties in
volved.
