Bronchitis, Try

Countless grave sicknesses are rec ognfzed by the medical profession as having their direct or indirect cause in a neglected cold or r~cough. Kerr's flax seed emulsion, Linonine, is most helpful. Medicine knows no surer healing agent for the inflamed mu- cous membranes of nose, throat and lung passages. Thus while Linonine is removing colds, coughs and bron- el1itis it is also natures chief aid in restoring vitality.
 All druggists-insist on having the genuine--6vc and $1.20.

RAD CIRCUS ELEPHANT
WORSE THAN a RIOT
One Show Had Historic Experience

One Show Had Historic Experience
With Tusker in Kansas City
In the circus menagerie wild ami
mails are always held to be dan
gerous. In the performing area this
assumption is the first rule Of train
ing. No animal can be trusted. The
most tractable and obedient beast
will turn and attack at any time the
mood seizes It. Trainers know this
we'll. and the successful ones are al
ways prepared for sudden spring
or sweeping stroke Of unsheathed
claws. But, until an animal has once
rebelled uccessfully-broken down
mans mastery temporarily is not
"bad" i'm the sense that trainers use
the term. :: - A bad elephant is
ever biding his time to kill, or watch
ing for a chance to lead other ele-
nhants into a stampede. And nothing
in circus life is so fraught with ter
rifying possibilities as an elephant
stampede.
Of all the bad elephants ever in
America, Snyder, the tusker, came
nearest to dying lin character as
theatrical slang has it. For Snyder
died with "his boots on" 1t was at
Salina, Kan, Monday. September 13,
1920. Snyder had done nothing un-
usual since the engagement Of the
circus at the Chicago Coliseum. How
ever, one of his trainers had been
left i'll in a hospital along the route.
The bass elephant man was the day
before called home on urgent busI-
ness. This left a trainer in charge
who had not been with the herd for
three years.
This change made the herd rest
less especially Snyder. After parade
that Monday forenoon, the general
manager of the show ordered a re-
;hearsal of the middle-ring elephants,
among which was Snyder, the pre-
eminent feature. No sooner had
SNYDER reached the ring than he
turned and raced out, with two at
tendants clinging to him with bull
hooks jabbed deep into his trunk.
Out Of the big top into the menag-
erie tent Snyder plunged and shook

NAPOLEON TO JOSEPHINE

From the first Josephine was a
heart breaker. In girlhood she had
one or two love affairs in Martinique.
Then, while still in her teens, she
married Viscomte Beauharnais. The
union was not happy. Her husband
was beheaded during the French
Revolution and she only escaped
through winning the heart Of the all
powerful Barras.
Josephine was 81 years OF age when
she met the young Corsican officer,
NAPOLEON Bonaparte. She was the
foremost love Of his life. He adored
her from the moment they met. She
cared little for him, for there was
little about him to attract women.
But Barras told her the young Corsi-
can had every prospect Of 4 great
career, so with Barras as q So-bctWeen
the marriage was arranged. Bona
Darte at the time was compelled To
be away from Josephine frequently
and for long periods, but no lovesic}l
swain ever wrote more ferVent love
notes than the man who a?l hut con-
uucred the world.
