Ladies' and gentlemen and little chill
dren,- we have with US tonight the son
OF the famous Puss in Boots, the well
known nursery character, dearly loved
by old and young. Puss Junior Is in
search Of his father, but in the mean
time has consented to join our circus. I
venture to say that no other circus in
the world has so wonderful a cat among
its performers. You will, all be charmed
to see him act His first performance
will! be to ride around the ring on our
beautiful Arabian horse. White Marvel"'
AS the clown finished Puss jumped nimbly
TO the saddle and commenced riding
around the ring as II he had been -accus-
tonIed to. this sort Of thing all his life.
The. children clapped their hands and
the grownups smiled and nodded APPROX
ingly.. The white horse broke into gal
lop, but Puss stood first on one leg and
then on the other. bowling gracefully here
and there Not once did he lose his bal
ance, although he wore his red topped
boots. and to stand on the bare back
Of a horse under such conditions Is not
the easiest thing in the world.
When the clown brought out aNwooden
ring covered with tissue paper the crowd
held its breath. Would Puss Junior dare
jump through It? Around, galloped the
big white horse in swift canter, Puss
balancing himself on one leg. AS he
neared the clown, who stood on big
blue barrel close to the ringside, Puss
gathered himself together for the jump.
Through the tissue paper he went like a
bird on the wing and landed safely on
the horses back. < Z.
A wild round Of applause greeted his
daring deed. The children clapped their
hands and screamed, forgetting In their
excitement to eat their peanuts and the
candy popcorn. The man who carried
the pink Lemonade in funny little glasses
all set in rows in tin tray made espe-r
cially for that purpose stood still to
watch He forgot to cry, Anybody want
seme delicious pink lemonade?" because
no was SO excited over the success OF
the new member of the circus family.
Then all the re.t of the actor folk did
their stunts: the monkeys played baseball
and the elephants had a boxing match.
and when all was over the clown and
the circus lady ran up to Puss Junior
and said: You were the star performer
OF the whole show!" which, Of course,
Pleased Puss immensely. ..

KEEP YOUR HEAD.

When the scourge Of infantile paralysis
broke out In SOME Of the crowded sec
taons of New York city this summer, the
health authorities. after giving all the
suggestions they could a. to the treat
ment and prevention Of the disease. urged
tbs mothers Of the city not to lose thar
heads. They, called attention to the fact
that anything like a panic would be sure
to bring bad results. 1t was necessary
to take precautions. Of course. but 1t was
equally necessary to give all children a.
much of normal life as possible.
1t Is aAtremendously easy thing to lose
ones head. and often diff1cult to keep IT
In an emergency. But keeping 1t IL an
art well worth the learning. And IL you
small emergencies, you will be pretty
sure to keep 1t IL big emergency comes
the sort of emergency when there Is
really little time to think, and when we
act on instinct and, habit
This habit is developed by everyday
actions. H.. when spark from the
cracking wood in the open fireplace hies
out on the best Oriental rug. you simply
step on 1t deliberately, instead Of scream
ing. you have done Just so much to train
yourself for. the big emergency. II. when
Your small son or daughter cuts finger,
you calmly wash and bind 1t, instead Of
weepingly hugging the child and bewail-
ins the cut, you are working In the right
direction. The hugging. OF course. Is
quite all right and, much to be commend
ed. but 1t should come after the calm at
tention of an iunexcited mind has been
given to the cut in question.
Of course some persons are nervous,
more excitable., than others, but really
training and habit lead to GOODNESS and
cslmness of the right sort
1t is an easy matter to train children,
too. to keep their heads. Obedience of
the unquestioning order should be in
stilled as "A first step-obedience that Is
given because the child knows the parent
asks. nothing unreasonable Besides this,
the child should be taught to think quick
ly. for ITSELF And-i 1t should be taught
always to think before It acts" Screaming
the moment, anything unusual happens Ia
undoubtedly sign Of overwrought
nerves, very often, but It Is a habit that
can be overcome by careful training.
Teach the child to stop and think always
before 1t acts on an impulse to do some
thing disagreeable. something of a re-
tall iating' nature. And then teach 1t to
stop and think whenever anything unex-
pected happens. Soon the stopping will be
minimized. and the thinking will be en-
phasized.

1t was about $50 o'clock in the even
ing. The big tent was all aglow with
lights. A long line OF people reached
from the dusty roadway to the ticket Of
fee. Flaring torches threw strange
streaks Of light over the field, lighting
up the circus wagons with their gleam-
ing red bodies and yellow wheels.
Now and then the roars of the lions
and the trumpetings of the elephants
could be heard. then the music Of the
band, bugle call. a shrill voice, a snap
of whips-all the familiar sounds OF a
travelling circus could be heard as the
evening breeze ruffled the many fags
that decked the great white tent. Puss
Junior stood. by the side. Of the clown in
the tan bark ring and looked about him.
On all sides were eager faces. Hundreds
Of children screamed and yelled as the
clown came forward and motioned for
silence. When the sounds had died away
he spoke, loud and clear:

interesting stories of Spain, although
he always adds: 81 would rather
live in this great America than any
place in the world. In fact, l was
educated here in the American pub
lie schools where the American peo-
pie have always been so friendly to
the Spaniards."
The other afternoon we were talk
ing of Spain and its fete days.
Have you ever seen bullhght?
he asked me eagerly.
I shuddered just a little Bit
could not help it-for the pictures l
had seen of the bulls goring the
poor, unprotected horses had al
ways sent a chill of horror down my
spine.
"Once when I was in Juarez on
the border of Mexico" l told him,
they tried to get me to peek into
the arena for only few moments
to see the most famous bullhghter
in the world-Mazantini. l think his
name was"
"Ah, Antonio Mazantinil" and his
great dark eyes grew round and
sparkling. Surely it could not have
been Mazantini, for it was too many
years ago that he went to Pueblo
in Mexico for his last appearance
on this continent. Tony Mazantini
he was great favorite of Madrid,
Tony ,was-and when, a few years
ago, returned, to Spain to visit my
people, ! was introduced to this

Perhaps it is cruel to you Ameri-
cans" Tony continued to me, but
in Spain it is one of the greatest
arts, this killing of the bull by the
matador, who, with one lunge of his
sword. strikes the vital spot and
puts the. poor, tortured animal out
of his misery"
"And did you 60 to the fete?" l
interrupted him. ...
ITO my regret" he replied. "for
before the eyes of ten thousand peo-
pie, we saw Antonio Mazantini
gored to his death. l, like the peo-
pie, screamed like a madman, but
his sweetheart, who stood behind
me-she was so cold like an icicle.
You see, Miss Mary, it is the way
of the Spanish girl-the Americans
think she is cold and cruel, but it is
because she does not cry with her

Hints Worth Trying.

To prevent runs in new silk
stockings stitch with thread around
leg of the new stockings short dis
lance from the top one can prevent
the dropped thread that so often ruins
a new pair of stockings. The stitch
ing should be done on the sewing
machine with a very fine stitch.
To cut fresh bread-Dip your
knife in boiling water and you can
cut the thinnest slice from a fresh
loaf.

The Proper Time For Dinner.

Some time ago a French scientist
announced the theory that we dine
at the wrong time of the day, says
the Iowa Farmer. He says that
halfapast seven in the morning is the
best time, and not the regular eve
ming hour. The professor has reach
ed this conclusion after prolonged
study of the rise and fall of the vital
energy during the twenty-four hours.
The theory is built on the idea of
Supplying the body with most ener-
gy when most energy is needed. He
says that a heavy meal at noon, or
from seven to eight at night, is pre-
cisely the wrong time, because the
vital energy is then decreasing and
the heavy meal will surely over
charge the liver and remain long UNI
utilized. The principal meal should
be taken when the time for the
greatest expenditure of energy is
approaching. When will we get the
word of authority on this matter
Some urge no meal at all in the
morning is best. Who is to be our
guide?

THE PEssI,usT BREAKS LOOSE

There is land of small delight
Where all we mortals dwell,
Where something posters day and
night
And holidays, as well,
MisfOr5une's ice is spread afar
Wherein each mortal slips;
And those who dodge the motor car
Appendicitis grips.
While shines the sun man maketh
hay
And sunstroke in his gain
He saveth for a rainy day;
And 10 it doesn't rain.
The demon corn gnaws at his feet,
Or pain his eye tooth rides,
Or something that he's had to eat
Disturbs his whole insides.
His wife deletes what ere he's earn.
And buyeth hats galore;
And every time his back is turned,
They raise his taxes more
Almost before he gets to bed
A new day doth commence.
Full oft he'd wish that he were
EXcep. for the expense.
Such is the life we mortals live
A paltry, tiresome task.
All joys are given in a sieve,
Cares in a stoppered flask:
If poor man is thought a Ounce;
If rich, it's called a crime.
Good fortune knocks, It's said but
once;
Hard luck knocks all the time.

TEST EVERY SEED CORN EAR.
Black Hawk County Proposes a New
Crop Slogan. Crib-SeleCted Corn
Not Always Has Strength
and Vitality.

Waterloo, Ia, Feb. 21.-The
movement is on foot to encourage
the farmers to test every ear of corn
that will be planted next spring in
Black Hawk county. A leading news
paper is aiding the plan and it has
received the support of County
Agent Burger and County Superin-
tendent Moeller.
The theory is that testing portions
of each crib or an ear or two from
each bushel is not enough. if every
ear is tested the farmer will know to
a certainty that the seed will grow.
A loss of even 8 to 10 per cent of
that seed through lack of germina-
ton will mean loss of thousands of
dollars to the agricultural interests.
