PLAYS HERE JUNE 3
OLIMPIA'S FIRST SHOW OF SEA.
son HEADED THIS WAY FOR
TWO PERFORMANCES.

Saturday, June 3, will be circus
day in Olympia, for John Robinson's
Ten Big Shows are advertised to give
afternoon and evening performances
on that day and date
The circus possesses an irresistible
charm for old and young, age, sex,
caste, or color. notwithstanding.
Early in the morning the sight of the
huge wagons being drawn by four,
six and eight horses, that carry the
paraphernalia; the ponderous ele-
plants and other strange beasts, as
they are taken from the railroad
trains to the show lot, fascinate and
interest as nothing else can. Then,
when the parade is given, one finds
himself pushing eagerly through the
thronged streets and walks, intent on
catching view of the spectacle.
There is large band, in a lus-
trous, carved, gold wagon, and there
is that about the music which thrills
more than the harmonies of a Sousa
band or Boston Symphony Orches-
ira; lady snake charmer in glass
cage, carelessly playing with the
Shiny monsters, a beautiful tableau
or a den of ferocious African lions;
along comes an elephant or camel
then another tableau, illustrating
Jack and the Bean Stalk" passes,
recalling to mature minds the happy
childhood days spent in the nursery
or on grandma's knee; another band
and more thrills, and then the piano.
rama of pageantry discloses a clown
"a foolish looking fellow, with face
white and vermilion, and peeked cap,
riding a donkey or seated in a queer
little cart and driving the animal
and the old folks laugh at him as
heartily as do the children.
Finally the last vehicle in the pa
rade is passing. A big man, seated
high upon the wagon, beside the
driver, calls out, in 'stentorian tone,
which can be heard above the din
and noise of small boy and his
squawker and the street fakir selling
balloons, Don't miss seeing the
great free show after the parade.
Dare Devil Dewey, in his wonderful
high dive, from an altitude of $50
feet into a shallow tank of water"
The heavy wagons rumble on, fol-
lowed by a crowd of small boys.
Many are drawn irresistibly along
after the departing pageant, toward
the circus lot, for all roads lead to
the circus grounds and eventually all
wend their way thither, drawn by an
irresistible magnet.
Maybe the magnet is child, which
allows the proverbial excuse, II had
to go and take Willie, you know;
or maybe it is "the call of the white
tents" At all events nearly every
one eventually arrives on the show
grounds and helps to augment "the
motley thrOng."

Olympia people should know that a
few doses of simple buckthorn bark,
glycerine, ETC.. as mixed in Adler-i-ka,
often relieve or prevent appendicitis.

Pure Tobacco Flavor Makes

The reason why 80 many keen, ex-
perienced judges Of tobacco are now
chewing American Navy IS that Il gives
them a pleasure and a comfort they
can't get in any other way. When
{. Candy Hopkins. The Cedars. takes
the trouble to write as follows about
American Navy Il certainly must be
a chew worth while:
Il have chewed AMERICAN
NAVY for some time and will say
that the taste Is very satisfying My
brand is AMERICAN NAVY FIRST,
last and always"
Thousands of the men who now speak
so enthusiastically of AMERICAN
NAVY formerly chewed Scrap The
cigar tobacco used IN Scrap" is the
thing that appeals 10 Scrap chcwcrs
Well. AMERICAN NAVY is made Of
the same leaf tobacco used in good
cigars. The big difference is that
Scrap" is made Of cigar cuttings and
clippings while AMERICAN NAVY is
made Of the whole long leaf
This use of the long leaf gives a
product Of much higher grade An
other big point in favor Of AAiER1-
CAN NAVY with "Scrap" chewers is
that AMERICAN NAVY is pressed
into pure, fresh plugs by a process that
saves every drop Of the distinctive and
delightful flavor.
Ask your dealer for American
Navy. See what a big cut YOU get for
