BARNUM AND BAILEY HAVE
HUNDREDS OF NEW FEATURES

The Barnum and Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth, which comes to At
lantic City on Monday, May 3, claim
to present this year ga Circus of All
Nations" meaning n that is filled
with all new features shown now for
the first time and presented by 48O
world-famed artists who represent
every nation in the world. The entire
world has been secured by special
Barnum and Bailey agents so that
practically all the arenic stars that
are really worth seeing take part.
The ~time-honored custom has al
ways been to refer to each successive
years circus as digger and better
than ever" but the phrase has become
so hackneyed that, this year, Barnum
and Bailey hesitate to use it, despite
the fact that it adequately describes
the entertainment. More railroad
cars are required to transport the
show, bigger tents are raised, more
area is needed to accommodate the
show than ever before. In fact, the
circus has reached a point where it is
the despair of many of the smaller
railroads and taxes their facilities to
the limit, for e~ighty-fve cars are

city from town to town.
There's material enough in this
years circus to make a dozen circus
es of the old days. A "big top" $50
feet long, nearly 1900 employees,
three rings, four elevated platforms,
acres of aerial apparatus, the biggest
stage ever erected for dramatic pre-
sentation, a 110-cage m~enagerie, TOO
horses, forty elephants, a street pa
rade three miles long.
Among the novelties offered this
season are the "Six Riding Hanna
fords," "The Paldrens," balancing,
pyramiding and head jumping on the
tops of burning lamps. "Pallenberg's
Wonder Bears" "Adgie" and her den
of nine performing African lions, Bar
mum and Bailey statue horses, Madam
Bradua's Angel Horses. Three great
herds of wal elephants, trained and
shown by the first and only lady ele-
plant trainers. Besides these, are 60
aerialists, so riders, 60 acrobats and
so clowns.
A wonderful prelude to this great
circus is the presentation of the new,
magnificent, spectacular pageant,
"Lalla Rookh" in which more than
1000 characters take part. Everyone
should get an early start on circus
day in order to be there in time for
the parade which starts at 10 A. M,
and which is said to be three miles
long.

was justly inflicted upon Father Adam
because of his wilful sin; and that his
family die because the seeds of death
are in us from our birth.
From this viewpoint, ours is a world
of convicts under death-sentence. This
accounts for Gods permitting various
death-dealing circumstances to control
famine, pestilences, cyclones, etc,
When we come to see that the same
God who justly condemned all through
one mans disobedienee has made pro
vision for the justification of all
through Christ's obedience unto death.
we see things in a new light.
David must be judged by the Law
under which his nation was placed at
Mount Sinai. The Israelites were in
formed that the Canaanltes had allow
ed their cup of iniquity to come to the
full, and that Israel was given ttat
entire land. David, therefore, was
carrying out the Divine instruction.

the most terrible, and the most foolish,
manifestation of selfishness. Every
one recognizing it In himself should seek

sauI's Jealousy Mas Crafty.
When under control of jealousy,
King Saul is described as having al
evil spirit from the Lord-more prop
erly, an evil spirit opposite from the
Lords Spirit of kindness, justice, love.
Sometimes David could soothe him by
skilful playing on a harp; yet he knew
the kings tr%eacherous mood, and On
two occasions hindered Saul from
throwing at him a %javelin.
Intent upon drawing him into a quar-
rel, the king promised David his elder
daughter to wife, and then gave her to
another. David, however, d~iscreetly
commented that he was neither of a
sufficiently noble family nor financial
ly able to expect such honors. Anoth-
er trap was to betroth to him the
kings younger daughter, Michal. Da-
vid again told of his unworthiness and
his lack of wealth, whereupon Saul
stipulated that her dowry should be
the evidence of the killing of q hum
dred Philistines. No doubt he hoped
that David would lose his life; but
instead, David killed twice the num-
Der and received Saul's daughter.
Finally the king told Jonathan and
his courtiers that David must die.
Jonathan's sentiment was as loving
and brotherly as his fathers was cruel,
Jealous, selfish. 1t was Jonathan who
would lose by David's attainment of
the throne. Hence the love of Jona-
than has become a proverb.
Jonathan interceded with his father
for David. The plea was successful.
David again became a member of the
royal household, but only for a time.
The king was not without noble sent1-
ments, but they were not deep enough
to control his life. He was under con-
troll of a selfish spirit, which is opposite
from the Spirit of God.
Ere long, in a Jealous fit the king
threw his ~javelin with deadly aim;
but David quickly lodged 1t. David
went to his room; but a guard had
been stationed there, instructed that
upon coming forth he was to be killed.
His wife assisted him to escape by let
ting him down out of a window.
Two Hundred Lives For a Wife.
Let us now inquire how David's
course In killing two hundred human
beings for a wife squares with the
principles of Justice, which the Bible
everywhere maintains, First, we must

COMMISSION TO CON.
 DUCT OPERATIONS
Declared Himself Opposed Com- pulsory Service, and Express ed hope That Plan of Lord Der by Will Succeed.

London Nov. 2.-The prime minis ter, MT. Asquith, in the House of Con- mons today delivered before the lar gest assembly of the year, his widely heralded and much discussed state ment on the progress of the war. The premier's speech was charac- teristic one. His most important de- claratlon was that the war would be conducted by cabinet commission of from three to five members, which will consult with the full cabinet on ques- tons of the most serious nature. It was taken for granted Premier As quith, Lord Kitchener, Secretary of War, A. J. Balfour, first lord of the ad miralty will be the members of the council. The plan was expected and seems In the nature of a compromise to meet the criticism that a cabiet of P members is unwieldy.
 With respect to the Dardanelles op- erations the premier isisted upon talk ig his full share of the responsibility but he gave no indications of what the future policy would be on this impor- tant section of the war front. The op- inion in the Hobbies of the house ac- cording to some reports is that it is not supposed to abandon the Dardan- elles operations.
 Sir Edward Carson was listened to with almost as great attention as was MT. Asquith with the expectation that 1t would throw more light on the req sons for his resignation. Those who awaited his explanation were not dis appoited. Sir Edward declared that the cabinets slowness in deciding upon the policy of aiding Serbia was the main reason for his disagreement. Premier Asquith's speech was re- equalization of what the government had accomplished in the past year in organizing great army.
 On the vital question of compulsion Premier Asquith expressed optimism that Lord Derby's scheme for re- cruiting would succeed and said he was opposed to compulsion because it would endanger national unity but was ready to adopt some form of compul- sion if the voluntary enlistment sys- tenn failed.

How He Cured Himself of Poor
 Memory.

In the November American Maga- zine a new department is started called Habits" which is to be devoted to facts, ideas and stories of personal experiences that will contribute in an entertaining way toward showing readers how they may acquire better physical mental and moral habits. Fol lowing is an extract from one of the articles contributed to this new little department:
 "Well, I went at it, hammer and tongs. When customers came in I made it my special business to devise ways and means to remember them. 1 tried and discarded lots of foolish little schemes. finally came down to the habit of the closest possible ob- servation of a customer, and concen- tration on his identity. Then as | looked at him | said his name to my self over and over, sometimes twenty or thirty times. When he left 1 would follow him to the door. continue to say to myself, over and over: There goes Mir. Patterson, Mr. Patterson, Mr. Pat terson.' Then, outside of business, l practiced remembering people, tried to remember as many as possible, devel- oped a sort of pride in it, made it a kind of game.
 "Work on yourself! Work! Work. Don't expect that your deficiencies will disappear by chance. Nothing will happen unless you make it happen.

How to Free The Place of Rats

"When I was boy our farm was alive with rats,' a contributor tells in the current issue of Farm and Preside
 "We noticed the rats were eating the grain and water of setting hen in a corner of the barn. So when the hen matched and was moved we put strychnine in the water, and the first night killed 23 rats and the second 19.
 Besides this a good many more went away to die The best way to get rid of rats is to make them accus- toned to drink at one place and then poison the water"

The Germans have evidently failed to make any further advance near SOs sons since their success there some days ago.
