A circus, as a general rule, is a boy's ideal of what a good time should bo and if they can only join one then the heighth of their ambition has been attained. Yesterday afternoon after school four boys, none of them eight years of age and two but six years of age, all of whom attend the Sixth street school concluded that they would start out in lif j for themselves, and after see ing a little of the world they pro posed joining the first circus they met. They wero the sons of James Riley ,XR. E. Hawley, Mr. Quinn and Frank Golden.

The village authorities at Louis ville are not having clear sailing in the collection of their business on oc cupation tax. It seems that a promi nent merchant of the town relused to pay the tax and the city dads ordered a levy made to satisfy the claim. J. L. Hartshorn was marshal and W. C. Dorsey, clerk. Some nails were levied on and sold, and now Mr. Rochford, the merchant, sues those two officials for $12.00 damages for wrongful conversion of property. The case was caiiea in juage Arcner s court for trial this afternoon. Quite a number of prominent resi dents were down as witnesses, among whom we noticed Miles Drako.presi- dent of the town board; II. E. Pan- konin, Frank Dickson. L. J.

There is a rnmor in Canadian circles that the government of the United States has made overtures to the government of Denmark with the object of acquiring Greenland from the latter country. The Evening News gives prominence to the rumor and says: - "Under ordi nary circumstances, even if true, the report would excite little interest, but coupled with the news of the hoisting of the anion jack over Baffin's land, it becemes of great moment. It ap pears that Baffin's land was never for mally acquired by the English for half a century, Hudson's strait is destined to become part.In the 'uture. of a great grain-carrying route be tween Liverpool and Winnipeg which will be a powerful rival of the Ameri can land routes. The Americans have no port of footing on the eastern shores of thecontinent north of Maine, and if they are to participate in the ad vantages of the Hudson bay route it has been apparently urged that their government secure some land or peninsola without delay." The Evening News adds to this comment an interview wilb unnamed Canadian officials, to the effect that the hoisting of the union jack over Baffin's land was undoubtedly evoked by the report that the United States government had its eye upon that ter ritory. According to the official quoted, there is nothing to prevent the Uniied States purohasing Green land from Denmark. In conclusion the Evening News remarks: 'If the Americans acquire Greenland there will be difficulties nhead for our trims aliantic commerce and international relations. If they have not acquired it already, what is to prevent our se curing it?" Track King Coining.
