CIRCUS IN BARRE To- MORROW
Cook & Wilson'S Show at Trotting Park
Afternoon and Evening.

| 1t is this long continued attitude OF
mankind toward the lower animals and
| the questions that have recently been
aroused by scientists regarding their
mentality, that gives the visit of the
Cook & Wilson wild animal circus to
this city on Friday, July 2s, a particu
lar interest at this time. Naturally, the
primary purpose of the Cook & Wilson
show is to afford entertainment for the
public and in this respect this great trav
cling institution is said to stand practi-
cally alone among exhibitions OF its kind
Nevertheless, the question of whether or
not wild animals think is answered to a
great extent by the wonderful perform
ances given by the trained wild beasts
with the show. Those who have seen the
Cook & Wilson animal circus say they
do everything but talk" and presum-
ably they even talk in their own way.
Under the direction of their trainers. IL
gers and pumas go through evolutions
that would be impossible for unthinking
beasts to remember; lions, bears, Jag
uars, seals, kangaroos, elephants, horses,
ponies and other animals, wild and do
luestic, exhibit the most apparent intelli-
gence in their work, and throughout the
of "educst ted" beasts there is
said to be unacceptable evidence of cal
culation and reasoning. The perform
ance is thrilling, but also scientifically
In addition to the trained animal num-
bers, interspersed with riotously funny
comedy by an army of Merry Andrews,
a mile -long free street parade will in
circus day. Performances will
be given afternoon and night.-adv.

TRIBUTE TO VERMONT BEAUTY.
A Visitor in the State Describes 1t in

To the Editor:
A visitor to your state, | have Learned
to love its great natural beauty. 1
seems to me that your people do not ap
preciate the beauty of its hills, rocks
brooks, its wild flowers and the songs o.
its birds.
Every rock, every tree, every wilC
flower and every brook has its lesson fol
him who will read as nature intended
him to read.
If my few lines, which will apply not
only to one brook at Waits River but to
hundreds of others, will help the boys
and girls of your state to love the beat
tiful and wonderful works of nature
about them, shall be more than pleased.
Truly yours,

The Brooklet.
Little brooklet, as you flow,
With a murmur soft and low,
Through the shadow and the light,
Always moving day and night,
Happy, happy, you must be
In your journey to the sea.
m Vermont 'mong hills of green,
Springs to life your silvery sheen;
Only at first little rill,
Tumbling, twisting down hill,
Over dam, under a bridge,
Dancing like a fairy nudge.
Stories many You can tell,
OF woodsey things l love so well;
OF stately pines, of spruce and beech,
OF speckled trout within yeur reach,
OF flowers sweet jim forest glen
Far beyond the haunts OF men.
Of song of bird, sweet and clear,
Echoed back, now far, now near:
OF timid fswn and graceful deer,
Drinking with no signs of fear,
From they motley, pebbled edge
Shaded by the er-sedge.
Little brooklet, best of all,
Though you are so very small,
You are true TO natures call,
And you're happy through it all;
Such's the lesson which you teach,
May it all of mankind reach.
May we all, sweet brooklet, clear,
Though our lives are sometimes dresr,
Look beyond all sordid things,
And as thou, with fairy wings
Strivest, gainst a hidden might,
Nay we strive for truth and right.
