Animal Trainers Win Fortunes.

Since the beginning of time mankind has been amused by attribvting human faculties to animals, and wherever one of the lower creatures has shown signs of intelligence, public curiosity has run high. We have long been familiar with the elephant which stands on q ball and does similar feats; but the first elephant to accomplish these things was a seven-days' wonder. One of the most unique novelties ever offered to the public was the first batch of trained seals. brought out by Captain Woodward. Their ability to play mu- sica; instruments. throw ball about. and so on, captured the fancy of the nation and made their owner rich. Another novelty of this kind brought wealth to Leoni Clarke, who taught a cat to go up in balloon and dc scend by a parachute.

Purest Irish Blood.

The purest irish blood is not to bs found in Galway proper, for the town was long held by the English, and cen- turies ago it did an immense trade with Spain that resulted in mixed mar riages, producing sundry heads of black hair and black eyes. But across the little river, by the bay, is fishers colony where the oldest Irish blood is still pure. This little group have mar Tied strictly among themselves, and their stock is said to go back to Irisb natives who even antedated the Irish Celts. They are still recognizable as slightly different type going about the streets of Galway selling their fish, as they and tbeir fathers before them have done for centuries.

The circus is almost here.

Elephants, 15 of them,. giraffes, lions, bareback riders, clowns, brass bands, calliopes and everything. Three long trains loaded to the guards with the circus paraphernalia and equipment of the John Robinson Shows, the pioneer of all circuses, will arrive in Pine Bluff early this morning in anticipation of two per- formances here Monday.
 The usual reception committee of little kiddies and bia kids lis ex- pected to be on hand to greet the incoming showmen, 1000 strong. By 8 o'clock the first section of the mile long show train will have steamed in and the work of unloading will be- gin as soon as the cars are "spot- ted" at the Walnut street crossing. The dining tents which it conveys will inaugurate the encampment at the show grounds and food will await the hungry hundreds when they reach the "lot." The second section brings the. big show, menagerie, and side show equipment. The third and last section carries the famous John Robinson menagerie and Pullman sleepers aboard which are the four hundred odd performers and mem bers of the executive staff.
 Withing a few hours after the ar- rival of the first section the barren lot at Seventh and Florida will be transformed into hustling, bustling city of tents, with population of 1000 souls. Palaces of canvas will arise in the air with Aladdin-like pre- cision. The first tent to be erected after the dining and kitchen tents are spread, will be the menagerie "top," in order that the rare and cost ly animals be protected from any pos sible inclement weather.
 Observe Sunday as Day of Rest.
 As far as possible Sunday will be a day of rest for the circus folk. The big hippodrome tent will not be nosed into the air until Monday morning. The 300 head of horses and the forty cages of wild animals will be properly fed and cared for after which the circus man rests.
 It is seldom that a circus ever takes any money out of a town" where the organization spends Sun day. It necessitates two days expense (and the daily expense of the John Robinson Circus averages $5,300) With only one days receipts. More

 Even if the Cincinnati Reds fail to land in the first division, Latty's boys are a much improved outfit over 1916, when they finished in the cellar.

 Grover Alexander the Phillies' star twirler, and Pitcher Eddie Cicotte ot the White Sox are running neck and neck for the lead in the number of games won this season.
 Detroit paid $7Oo for Ty Cobb in 1905 and Iris Speaker was sold to Boston for $4O0 in 1908. Will equal value in baseball talent ever be. se- cured for a like amount in the days to come?
 George Burns will not follow the lead of other Giant stars by takink lay-off before the big series. The New York outfielder is anxioous to complete three years work without a single days absence.
 Henry Schreiber, the sensational Eastern league infielder recently signed by the Braves, will report Oct 3 at Cleveland for the National army He did not claim exemption.
 Not a few baseball critics figure that the Giants heavy hitters will slaughter the White Sox pitchers Maybe so, but doping a worlds series before the battle is like drawing num- bers at a raffle.
 In accordance with the established rule several of the recent arrivals in the Giants camp will not receive. a full share of the big spells in the worlds series. Members of the Dodg- CTS and Red Sox should worry. Should present baseball conditions prevail at the opening of next season the salaries of the diamond perform ers will undoubtedly suffer. All along the line from minors to majors, there is talk of a reduction in salaries.
 The Athletics still have chance to 0et out of the cellar before the fall of the curtain. At any rate the Mack men will improve their last years 1lg- ures, when they finished with per centage of .235.
