Oh, say, what is this thing
railed •Fame^and is it worth our
while\\rA;ij.eck it till we’re old
and lanfo, for weary mile on mile;
we seek a gem among the hay,
for wheat among Ihe chaff; and
in the end some heartless jay will
write our "pitaph. The naked
facts il will relate, and little else
beside; "This man was horn on
such a dale, and on such a dale
li" died.” The gravestones in Ihe
honeyaru tell all we shall ever
know of men who struggled pas
sing we 11 for glory, long a->.
They had their iiTidescent
schemes and lived In see them
fail; they had their dreams, as
you have dreams, and all of no
avail. The gravestones calmly
tell their fate, the upshot of their
pride: "This man was horn on
such a date, on such a date he
died.” The great men of your
father’s lime, willi laurel on each
brow, the theme of every pod’s
rhyme—where are those giants
now? Their names are written
in the hooks which no one ever
reads; and on the scroll—where
no one looks—Ihe record of their
deeds. The idler by the churcli
yuio gale this legend hath espied:
"This man was horn on such a
dale, on such a dale lie died.”

Modern Inventions—The Circus.
(By George Filch).
The circus struggled along l'or
several cenuries in a mild florin,
but when P. T. Barnuin took hold
of i| and plastered it over the
billboards of the country, it be
came great.
There are two kinds of circus
es. One is a super-colossal and
titanically tremendous aggrega
tion of the world’s wonders and
demoniacally death-defying dare
devils gathered into one unprek
cedented and unimaginable gal
axy under the greatest canvas in
|ancient history. The circus can
be found on any billboard during
the summer, and draws millions
of eager watchers.
The other kind of circus is
chiefly awe-inspiring for the ease
with which it flits from hither to
yon. A circus carrying a thous
and people and 500 varieties of
tierce and fragrant beasts will
slip Into a town at 0 a. in., and
by breakfast time' will have set
up ten acres of tents and will
have its calliope fired up.
Circuses consist of menager
ies, tile big show and the side
show. The menagerie is carried
for hie purpose of providing an
'Excuse for parents to bring their
children, and thus come themsel
ves. The side show is a method
of working over the tailings, and
gelling such dimes as the big
show Iras overlooked. The big
show itself consists of three ka
leidoscopic rings and two daz
zling platforms, all tilled with
beautiful ladies and lithe gentle
men in pink,, blue, crimson and
green lights, and performing ath
letic feats which have to lie seen
several limes to be believed.
In the big show men perform
feats of agility which make a pol
itician, scrambling from party to
parly, look clumsy, and women
ride galloping horses, balanced
on one toe. I.oop-lhe-loop men
jump half Way down the jaws of
death and then hack out, and ele
phants and seal orchestras play
Wagner. No one has ever seen
all that happened in a circus ex
cept one man, and he died the
next day, from an overheated
bearing in his neck.
Circuses travel from town to
town and eollect each day three
hogsheads full of dollars. There
are a large number of circuses,
and each one js the greatest one
on earth. What is a little thing
like a doe/.n superlatives to a
business which makes a city do
one night stands, and which
makes a fool of the attraction of
gravitation a hundred times in an
afternoon.

NOTICE

east end of town for the recep
tion and disposal of human ex
cretia. All water, water closet
boxes and tanks must be emptied
in the cesspool. When means are
provided for disinfecting the
[sinks will be returned. No garb
age or refuse of any other na
ture should be dumped in. This
