POETRY
TO CERTAIN IRIsH-AME,RlcANs,

 Friends of Erin! Not today
 Must you brood on ancient wrong. Feuds must all be put away
 That our army-front be strong. Each vindictive word you speak. Hatred of a brave Ally. Helps to make our forces weak
 Helps the foe to victory. All together, or we fall,
 Side by side with Brita3n's men, Brave and generous one and all, Strive and hope-and strive again. Friends of Erin! You must walt Prussia batters at the gatei
 If it falls, what hope remains? Where were Freedom. if she won? Where were Peace should she pre-
 vail?
 For her "places in the sun"
 Would be every pleasant vale! Oh. forbid that one. should bind Ireland-pious.. true. and kind.
 Must hate the Wolf with bloody jaws!
 Who can doubt the day Is near
 For which the friends of Erin long? But we first must scotch this Fear. This Murder and this Force Of o be patient, strong. and wise. Generous in these generous timesi But one foe before your eyes, Prussia with her load of crimes! -Abbie Farwell Brown.

Sig. sauteie's Circus in Jewett City
 Today.


 One of Americas oldest tented or Eanizations. the Sig Sautelle Big Overland Show, is coming to Jewett City May 2s. MT. Sautelle has been catering to the circus going public for 70 years and has always given them a performance that was above the average and one that gave entire sat isfaction. This year he has endeavored to excel all previous efforts and has gone back to the old-fashioned one ring show, which gives the audience an opportunity to see every act in its entirety without straining their neeks trying to look at two or three acts at once. Besides that it stimulates the performers to put forth their best ef- forts, as they know the entire au- dience has centred their attention on the act they are doing: it also as sures a better performance. as each performer must be an artist in his or her line in order to hold their own In SO big a collection of acts that it lakes to fill out q two-hour perform snce. Among the feature acts to be seen are such well known artists as Violet and Lewis aerial celebrities: Madame Irwin and her troupe of 20 trained dogs, the Cycling Reynards, .n marvellous trick cycling act-they VIII dtso oe seen Tn clever juggling act on the slack wire: the three De Romans. acrobats par excellence. in 7 unioue chair balancing act: Hel- liott's five comedy bears, that give an exhibition of bicycle riding, waltz with 8 lady. wrestle. tumble and several other tricks that are really wonder ful. Then there is the Renos double trapeze performers: Madame Ir1yin's educated pony, an irfon jaw lady. fly ing ring acts, and the famous Le lair Ponies which is conceded to be he best troupe of trained ponies now
