Barnum's Erankness.

On one occasion Barnum had an
elephant engaged in plowing on the
sloping hill where it could plainly be
seen by the passengers on the New
Haven and Hartford railroad, an agri-
cultural innovation that he knew
would get notice of some sort in every
newspaper In the country.
1t was even said that he received
letters from farmers far and wide
asking how much hay one elephant
ate, and if it were more probable to
plow with an elephant than with
horses or oxen.
His replies were invariably frank,
and were Of this purport:
'If you have a large museum in
New York, and a great railway COM
pany sends trains full of passengers
within eyeshot Of the performance, it
will pay, and pay well; but II you
have no such institution, then horses
or oxen will rrove more economical"

THE HEADACHE OF
 NERVOUS EXHAUSTION

A feeling as of 8 tight band about the head is often felt in addition to the pain of headache that is caused by nervous exhaustion. The ache is generally in the back of the head, rarely in the fore head, and is often accompanied by diz- ziness.
 The way to stop this sort of headache is to stop the cause of it. Overwork, worry and failure of tho blood to properly nourish the nerves are the most common causes. Rest and tonic for the blood and nerves will cause the headache to disappear in most cases
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are an effec- tive tonic for building up the blood and strengthening the nerves. They furnish just the elements that the blood needs to build up the nerves shattered by over- work, worry, oycrstudy or excesses. You cannot always rest from school, office or housework when circumstances require but you can always take tonic that will maintain the strength of blood and nerves. Dr. Williams Pink Pills are just the tonic required.
 Mention this paper and we will send you booklet, "Diseascs of the Nervous System" free. Address: Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y. All druggists sell Dr. Williams Pink Pills.

Delaware FIVE IN

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK. Jan. with the reopen
ing of Delaware College ON Monday fol-
lowing the Christmas and New Years
holiday, Coach McAvoy will have the
basketball candidates on the gymnasium
floor every afternoon for practice. The
season opens on January l3, when Tenn
pie University five, of Philadelphia, will
play here.
All of last years varsity five are out
for the team, but there are also several
freshmen who will make a tryOut for
the first team. OF these Donald Horsey,
who had much experience ON the Organ
lied Militia team at Dover before enter
ing Delaware last September, stands the
best chance of getting a.place. Horscy
is handicapped somewhat by his size, as
he weighs but about 1870 pounds lie
proved in the class game, however, that
he is an exceptionally good cage man,
and he will no doubt get chance in
some of the games.
Lacklen and Wcimer, of the 1914
team, will probably look after the for
ward positions again, with Wills at
center, and Captain Cam and Dough-
ertv PLAYING guard. This makes a
strong combination. and the fact that
they played together all of last season
should help greatly with the team
work.
Next Wednesday afternoon the
Freshmen and Juniors win play for the
college championship, each of them
having won their class game.

EIGHT DOLLARS ON season

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Jan. 2-The
cost of running a small town base
ball team is indicated in a statement
OF receipts and expenses issued by
the management of the Allentown Tri-
State club for the last season. The
total expenditures were $25, 1868.
The receipts were S25, 1850, but this
includes the proceeds of a 5000 note
which is still owing. and which out
side of the $S credit showing on the
balance sheet is the deficit At that,
the club did somewhat better last sea-
son than the year before, when the
deficit was S11O0.
The receipts at the gate and grand
stand were approximately $4,000.
The receipts on the road were high
est from Harrisburg. S1.251; the Sec
ond highest from Reading, 1897, and
the lowest from York. $3.50 The
best exhibition game was that with
the Phillies. which drew S302. The
players salaries and those of the en-
ployes. amounted to somewhat more
than $4,000. and the guarantees paid
to S6.426.
It is said the only other club in the
Tri-State that did better than Allen
town was Harrisburg. which was
helped out by the sale of players.
