Make No Difference at
Riverside.

"TTHE show must go on" has long
4 been an axiom Of the theat-
rical world, and now Riverside
amusement park has adopted the
thespian motto, with a slight altera-
ton, and declares "the fun must go
on"
Riverside now boasts OF being a
"rain or shine" park, vast roofing
projects having been completed dur
ing the closed season. A careful
survey of the available shelter at
the park was made yesterday by
Archie w. Golfer, manager, and it
was revealed that at least Is 900 per-
sons can get under roof and keep dry
in case of rain at the park.
The greater part of this shelter is
afforded by the roof over the half
mile cement walk that circles the
big horseshoe, and, due to the fact
that practically all the games and
almost all of the other fun conces-
sions are located on this walk, the
fun can go on" in spite Of the rain.
And this vast roofage is equally
advantageous in affording shade
from the hot summer sun.
Riverside will be open again to-
morrow and practically all the fun
devices, including a score of brand
new novelties, will be in operation.

Sunday School Lesson

parable urging the disciples to make
to themselves friends by means OF
the mammon of unrighteouSness.
The professed hatred Of wealth
in itself is apt to become either a
very Jealous and mean-Spirited
thing, or a hypocritical pretense.
Very often the people who profess
to despise wealth and who talk
about the advantages Of poverty
and of plain living are the people
who are themselves wealthy and
who have never known what 1t was
to want anything really important
in the external things of life.
The man who has never missed a
meal can not quite understand the
psychology and need OF the man who
is hungry and without food. Pow
erty is not a blessing any more than
wealth is a blessing. Poverty Is apt,
in fact, to be very real curse. To
be hungry and have no money to
buy food, to be sick and have no
money to pay a doctor, to desire
many helpful and comforting things
in life and not to be able to pro-
cure them, is not in any sense a de-
sirable condition for any man, and
it is false religion that teaches
anything of the sort.
But at the same time it is not only
true that mans life CONSISTENT not
in the abundance of things that he
mans possessions, even if they are
not very extensive, may become an
occasion OF bondage rather than of
freedom and blessing. Every man
must consider in his sould where
his greatest treasure lies, and he
can not make his life great or truly
noble unless he desires to allow the
quest of that treasure to become the
dominating passion of his life.

May 8, that no feminine member Of
that enormous organization displays
her diverse entertaining gifts over
a wider or more varied field than
does she.
Miss Stephens, a miss not tow
ering much over five feet, and with
wealth of dark hair framing a
piquant face, with every outwa i in
dication that she would scream and
run at the first sign of a terrible
mouse, enters the Sells-Floto arena
with herd of mammoth elephants
and sets them through their PAGES
as easily as she would a beyy of

She is over and beneath the mon
strous Snyder, one of the largest

gigantic Trilby to walk carefully
over her and permits Tony to catch
her in his trunk and place here just
where his whim decides.
At other intervals in the Sells

a jumping and dancing horse,
mounts the slender, swinging lad
ders, performs with her leaping
Russian hounds, and from her teeth
permits herself to be suspended in
mid-air during the beautiful cloud
swings. After passing through this
routine twice daily, to the delight of
Sells-Floto fans, Miss Stephens has
