Everything vni smooth ailing fur lis, write Jump A. llulley In Success In relating the experience of the cir rus in Europe, except In the nod 111 of I'm nee. In one of the first cities nt which we gave 11 performance, nfter striking south from I'nrls, we pitched our tents n little wuy outside the city limits under the brow of a hill. At 1 o'clock In the afternoon we hud made up our minds that we were icolng to have one of the slimmest audiences In our experience. Things had n very dead look, ltut at half pant 1 the peo ple hegnn to swarm over the hilltop. It Kccins that at noon a half holiday hail liren proclaimed and the citizens had been Mulshing the work of the day preparatory to the afternoon nt the cir cus. The whole population was com ing to see the show. In twenty min utes nil our seat were sold, und yet the people kept swarming In upon us. W e shouted to them that there was no more room Inside, but this made little Impression. They were there to see the show and didn't propose to be disap pointed. They began to get excited. What had been merely a peaceable throw; of meirvmakers was taking on the appearance of a uiob. Our best In-tcrp'-ctcr made 11 speech to them In whirh he nuked them to name one ot their leading men. Full of curiosity, they shouted out the names of several, finally one came forward, and he was requested to select a committee of four who were to go Inside to ascertain for themselves and report to their friend whether or not the tent wns complete ly tilled. The committee was appointed and wan escorted Inside. The men came out In a few minutes, and one of them mounted n ticket seller's stand and announced that it was as we had said. A howl of disappointment went up. A woman with a baby in her arm called out something and rushed past the ticket sellers. This was lu the Joan of Arc country, you know, and this wom an seemed to possess the spirit of the Maid of Orleans. Instantly the mob wiiti surging lu behind her. Many be gan to cut Die guy ropes and crawl In beneath the canvas. The circus was being rallied, and we were very fearful that there might be a panic and great loss of life. Hut meantime one of our men had galloped to the town, and just when tilings were looking most omi nous und we began to be sure that they would pull the tent down upon their hemix half a regiment of cavalry came racing over the hill. With drawn sa bers they cleared out the people who were not seated, and then they sur rounded the tents. Finally, after a long i!el::y, we were ublo to give the performance. That was the most ex citing time I ever experienced lu the show business. To make sure that there might be no repetition of It we hud a detail of 400 soldier around our tents at Jill subsequent performances In the south of France. An Adventnre Im India.

When you remember that gas is itself fine fuel, being used in all the large cities for cooking, heating and lighting, you realize how much is saved if the gas doesn't escape, but is held in the stove and burned. Notice in this picture of Cole's Hot Blast how the draft burns the coal from the top. It discharges a blast of highly heated air over and through the body of fuel, thus distilling the gas from the fuel, oxydiz ing and burning it before its -escape up the chimney. That is why Cole's Original Hot Blast This patented Hot Blast Draft doesn't work in leaky stoves and that is one reason why imitations are failures.

"With charity for all and malice to ward none" these well known word of the great, brave, sagacious Lincoln appear In Urge lettering In the creed of Christ church, Westminster road.

The Knmltr Thnt Hstata Bdtreen Them and the Ite.iaon of It. Why dues the dog hate the cat? Hel en! 1st I. ;ie been hive tilling the en mity between te.'e : n ' ttl:i 1;:. und Illcy believe tl::i the l,i:: i!i"llve hatred which certain beams feel for each other I ilue to Inheritance from uncle:. t times when the auluiiils met In a wild state nnd preyed on ench other. The enmity between cnt:i and dons seems to be due inure to hatred on tlio part of the dog tlvm of the cat. The latter animal apparently lutes dur because dog chase her. while the dog bates the cut because she I n cat. A cat will feed nt a piece where n dog has been without lictiV.ylmr any Blgns of linger, but n doc generally ibe comes excited nnil wild If he seen? i the trail nf a cat anywhere near his food or sleeping place. Now this enmity Is :nt to be ex plained by anything that happen be tween dogs and cuts In doiucst'cily or anything that ever happened between tliem as long ago as human history goes. In all these Ihousands of years doirt and cats have been kept a pets, nml of all animals they arc the two wl irh should be the most friendly. Hut the reverse Is the case. One nat uralist. Ir. Zell, seeks It In the fact that the common cat not only looks like, but smells like, the great cat of prey. And of those cuts of prey there 1 one, much like n domestic cat In ninny ways, which bunts dogs by pref erence. This big cat Is the leopard. The domestic cat and her larger rela tive, the wildcat, have never harmed the race of dogs, but their great spec klcd cousin Is and always has been the most ferocious of dog murderers, and the cat must pay for It. Authorities agree that there Is no animal that tho leopard would rather eat than the dog. As n result there are many villages In the districts In which leopards aro plentiful where nobody call keep a dog. The great cats will not hesitate to break Into the bouse to seize their favorite dish. But, says tho doubter, the modern dog certainly could not hare known leopards In many thousands of years. He has been a domestic pet In region where there have been no leopard luce man first appeared. That Is true, says Dr. Zell. Hut be points to the fact thnt dorrs have a linhlt of turning around several times before they lie down. This, ho says, I due to the fact that when they wero In a wild stato they had to do this to press down leaves and twigs In order to prepare a bed for themselves, and a they have not overcome this habit In all their years of domesticity it Is quite natural that they should still Inherit fierce hatred of any creature that smells like a leopard. Dugs and cat are not the only ani mals that still show Inherited fear or hatred of other beasts which they have never seen themselves. Thus the rhi noceros I frantically In fear of any thing white, nnd naturalist say that this Is because once upon a tlino sumo big white anluiiil hunted him. lint thnt miut have been long ago, for there are no big white animals now where tho rhinoceros dwell. t'b'-ken that have never seen a fox will cackle and run lu fear If they come across the place where the ani mal has passed or where his carcass ha been dragged. If n fox has been anywhere near a cat's drinking dish the cat will not approach It. New York Press. A Spoiled Dinner.

It lias been credited to many writer, but was first told by Rabelais: In Pari at a roast meat cookery of the Petit Chastelet n certain hungry porter wa eating bis bread and at the same time sniffing the reek and steam from a fat goose which was being turned on a spit before a great Ore, thereby gaining savory accompaniment to hi dry ration. He ate very slowly that be might en Joy the reeking, smoking savor a long ns possible, nnd when Ills penny loaf had been consumed he attempted to de part. But the cook wus not of that mind. The master of the shop laid bold upon blm by the gorget, demand ing pay for the smoke and steam of the roast goose. The porter demurred. The cook claimed that a portion of the meal had clearly been made from the savor sniffed up and swallowed. It chanced while the discussion was going on that Beyny Jean, the fool, entered the shop, and the matter wa referred to blm. "Wilt thou submit to the Judgment of this good citizen?" asked the cook. "Aye, by the blood of the goose, that I will," answered tho porter. The story wa then told and the case argued. The fool listened attentively, and In the end he asked the porter to let blm take two pieces of bis money. Tho poor man drew from hi fob two pieces of copper. Beyny Jean took t hem .and Jingled them awhile between bl two hand and then gave them back whence be had received tbem. Then to tho cook he said: "The porter did smell of tby goose, and thou bast heard the Jingle of bl money. Thou bast thy goose Intact, be hath bl money, as seemctb to me right and proper. And now this court doth decree further that every one go about bl own busi ness lest we have too many fools among us." IRVING NO POLITICIAN. nrprlae of the Aathor at ReeelTlaa- Public Position.
