A wolf WAS kept prisoner ina cage in a park where many people came to look at him and be amused.
 One day it grew very hot and the wolf dug down into his sawdust in search of r3oist earth wherewithal 10 cool himself. But he found nothing better than the metal bottom of his cage, whereat the people laughed. deeming his diseom1ture good sport
 Presently. however, the war brought about shortage of food and another day the keeper opened the door of the cage. Come out" he commanded "we can't feed you any longer and so we're going to shoot you"
 The wolf was glad. "New l know why they call il a war of lfberaton' he thought to himself.

Biz Fall Festival Next Week

Great preparations are being made
by Rescue Fire Company for next
week, when the Polack shows will
arrive in their special train of twen-
ty-five cars, carrying all their para
phernalia for their big show TO be
exhibited in Cambridge, and accord
ing to the interest taken in the event,
the affair will be one of the most
successful ever held here.
The mana cement of the shows
takes special pride in the cleanliness
of the amusement, and the fact that
they cater especially to the ladies and
children, shows exclusively the shows
stand out on their merit alone. Ey-
cry afternoon and evening the all
American band Of 20 pieces, under
the direction of Prof. Chapel, will
hold concerts on the streets and on
the grounds, which is absolutely free,
and the residents are invited TO at
tend. In addition to the band, the
show carries one of the largest or
chestrations in the world. This huge
instrument was built by the BARN.
Organ Company of New York, and
stands twenty feet in height, and is
said to equal a seVentV-man band in
volume.
The show employs about 800 peo-
pie and carries over go amusements,
giving the place the appearance OF
one of the largest circuSes; each
show is the best that could be OBJ
tanned in their particular line, in
Guiding the Whip, the greatest riding
device of the present century, and
many others of equally high stand
ard.
The Polack shows are new de-
parture in the outdoor amusement
field and not to be classed with the
ordinary carnival company. This is
the age of progress, and keeping
abreast of the times. the Poiack
shows represent an entirely new and
different form of amusement. Re-
creation is as vital to the people as
the clothes they wear or the food
they eat.
The public is tired of the old hum
drum carnival show. This company
is not travelling on a past reputation,
as it is practically young organlza-
ton, but is gaining many laurels on
a new one which it is establishing.
In speaking of amuSementS, T. II.
Golden, special representative of the
above shows. has this 10 say:
Il have been identified in various
capacities with number of Anleri-
cas- leading amusement enterprises,
but | am frank TO say that never be-
fore have | been in a position TO
promise and deliver to the people,
entertainment of such peculiar
character as is provided by the bis
Polack shows. Our special train OF
25 ears is fitted up with all modern
coaveniences. No pains or expense
have been spared in looking after
the comfort of tha hundreds of indi-
viduals who appear in our exhibi-
ton ! invite all to inspect ouI

Mr. {. ". BrohaMu. Candidate For

ment i'm Behalf of Candidates For

! Following the example OF my
! friend and colleag que, Mr.. }. Ben
{ Brown, | take this means of making
a statement TO the Democrats ana
voters of Dorchester county.
In the first place | want to say that
! | approve the words of Mr.. Brown.
He and he other gentlemen with u
deserve the cordial support of every
Democrat and independent voter.
: The most of them are seeking sup
port for the first time. As to myself,
| desire to say that, having been
honored by nomination for re-elec-
tion to the House of Delegates, al
most unsought, without opposition,
il is needless to say that | feel Il
greater responsibility TO the people,
. in view of the magnanlmOuS conti-
dence they nave rcpoSed in me, after
having served them in the sessions OF
1916 and 1917. Our county is
great county, second to no other in
the State for the fairness, intelli-
gence and progreSsiveneSS OF its peo-
ole. To be unmindfuI OF such Il re-
afii, med confidence would be nothing
less than il crime. ! feel it my duty
to think better and work harder in
not be misplaced. | am fully awake
to the fact of what d reelection TO
the Legislature means. The people
will expect more and the position OF
the reelected member will be such
that he can do more in the interest
of his county and State. y new mem
mer must learn. an experienced
member must ac, There is much
Il
it all but have gained some impress
sions. to the effect that where mis-
takes have been made, Legislative cor
rectionS should be at once. No man
should be compelled 10 endure an
unjust law any longer 1han II can be
amended or repealed. l have learn
ed that legislators should give ear TO
All classes and conditions of men,no
matter whether they speak as lndl-
yidua!S OF organizations. II Is the
duty OF a dilieent legislator TO thor
Oughly analNse the aims and e11ect OF
any organized effort for SPECIFIC leg
isiation. especially where the masses
Seem TO be silent, so that no man S
rights are Irampled unaWares. W hat
ever is good for the masses should be
good for the few. Legislative pro-
jects are often like baskets of APP
ples-shown with their best sides up.
A legislator should have the nerve TO
kick some things over, before laws
are hastily made. Fairness and JUS
tice should be the ruling principle of
every legislator. and every propOsi-
ton made TO conform TO that prlncl-
pie. no matter who gets hit.
Coming from the common people,
am frank to say, my first thoughts
turn to those from whom | came.
believe with many others that more
laws need repeating than new ones
enacted. | want to say, in conclu-
sion, that if the people re-elect me-
