Dr. Yeu Ses she Elephant

Sparks circus is clean and inter-
esting as ever or more so. 1t de-
serves a good patronage.
Sparks circus is one show that
the ladies and children can 90 to
with impunity. The parade Tuesday
showed a long line of brand new
equipment, fine horses, pretty wo
men, a good menagerie and withal a
a "glittering line of march" The
stunts by the educated lions, the
strong men, the Wire walkers aud
the ring and trapeze work were all
good, while the good natured clowns,
the big elephants and the ponies
furnished plenty of variety. The
Jap was not a girl but a 20-year- old
man, although about every one
thought otherwise.

The Street Railway lnjunc-
ton.

There were only two arguments
submitted before Judge C. c, Lyon
Monday afternoon in the case en-
titled j. A. Turner and wife, Fannie
A. Turner, against the City of High
Point, North Carolina Public Service
Company and Carolina and, Yadkin
River Railway Company. A B. Kim
ball presented the first argument, on
behalf of the plaintiff, contending
that the extension of the street rail
way system in High Point by the
Public Service Company for the pur-
pose of affording freight traffic SER
vice between the terminal of the G..
and Y. r. Railway and the various
manufacturing plants of the city
would be converting these thorough
fares to a purpose not intended and
not compatible with public policy.
He asked, therefore, that the order
restraining the defendants from fur
ther work on this extension be made
permanent. He was answered by A.
L. Brooks, of counsel for the defense,
who contended that such an eXten-
sion is in line with the very best pub
lie policy for the city of High Point,
and that the use of the streets for
freight traffic, in the manner pro-
posed by the Public Service Com
pany, is entirely within the bounds
of restriction for the use of public
thoroughfares of the city.

CORDOYA TO REGULATE
 ITINERANT MERCHANTS

Under an act passed by the terri torial legislature the city council in municipalities were granted authority to license peddlers and itinerant mer chants.
 Before there was some question whether a federal license gave ped dlers the right to sell their wares in any city in Alaska without regulation from the city councils.
 AS soon as a copy of the new law is received by the local city council that body intends passing an Ordi- nance covering the licensing of these itnerants and it cannot be fixed at too high a figure to Suit Cordova mer- chants.-(Ex)

Homemaking.
From the Youths Companion.


A home is not merely a house: it is
an atmosphere, feeling. 1t is a place
OF beloved associations. where you can
thoughts and hear familiar voices
without hearing them. You can he
happy there, and be comfortably un-
happy. be thoroughly unpleasant even.
and know that those you love will thin
no worse of you than they do already.
Luxury cannot make a home, nor can
books or pictures. or rugs, or bric-a-
brac. cat, a canary, two geraniums.
Bible and an old rocking chair may
make one of the loveliest homes in the
world. At the same time. home is not
necessarily happy because it is the
house Of poverty. as some would have
US believe.
The art Of creating home atmosphere
Is wholly the art OF woman, and she
has none more charming. Mere care

tidiness; indeed, those things some
times work the other way. The love of
prettiness will not do It; good cooking
will not do II. although il is a might y
help. Even being gay and merry and
kindly yourself is not quite enough.
although II helps even more than the
cooking. Success in home making, as in
everything else. requires that you shall
feel q real Joy In your work. II II Is a
drag, II II is an irxsome duty. If your
mind is on a thousand outside things
that are not home, you cannot make
home maker should think OF nothing
else. That is neither desirable nor pos
sible. But the woman whose first
pleasure is to create that beautiful
thing, home. will be precious and per-

family, but to all her household. to all
her guests. to the whole community in

Dwindling Captives.

Prom the Chicago Journal.
Most creatures that have been tanned
by man have gained in size during
their long captivity. but there are sew
eral notable exceptions. The cat is one;
our house pussy Is q smaller and far
feebler thing than the wildcat from
which she Is descended. Sheep and
turkeys are other instances of degen-
GRAFTON. The wild gobbler is consider
ably larger than the tame Thanksgiv-
ing bird. A full grown wild ram of
the Rocky mountain species seldom
weighs less than 400 pounds, and the
wild sheep Of the old world are said
to be of equal size; while a tame ram,
even of the mutton breeds, is doing
well II he scales 200 pounds.
When the world settles down to rea-
sonable living conditions again II
should be worth some ones while to
see II wild standards in development
cannot be restored. The Eskimos and
Indians of the far north cross their
dogs with wolves to secure the wild
hardness and endurance. Why should
not some Burbank of the animal world
try similar plan with sheep? The
difficulties in the way of making the
experiment are no greater than those
which mechanical inventors encounter
daily as a part of their business. and
success would mean moro to the world
than half the devices described in
patents.
