HERE THEY COME. The Big Show and its Foreign Captives. This year Sells Brothers' amusement holiday for everybody within a radius of fifty miles of MoCook comes early in August and the indications all point to such an influx and mustering of our Btalwart country cousins, their good wives, sturdy sons and rosy-cheeked daughters, as was never seen on such an occasion before. For the glory and profit of their twenty-second annual amusement campaign, the Messrs. Sells have olearly made heiculean efforts to provide any amount of everything to please all tastes. The Big Show of the World will be presented hear in more than the mag nitude and prelection which during the winter months so entirely captivated Australia and won the unqualified ad miration of its press and people; for while abroad most notable additions were made to its attraction by the pur chase in Australasia, the East Indies and elsewhere, of many exceedingly rare and royal wild beasts, birds and reptiles. Conspicuous among them three truely tremendous tigers, as big as cows, and any one of which eould make a picnic lunch of any other heretofore exhibited; a whole drove of giant kangaroos of varied hue, a flock of splendid full grown and baby emus, prodigious constricting serpents, odd apes and gorgeously plu maged, language-gifted birds. To the other novel and varied attractions of the show we need not again make a special reference They are duly and fairly set forth in the flood of advertisements and co nstitute a grand and wholesome exhibit which can not fail to universally please and profit. The Messrs. Sells wish it distinctly and finally understood that their great show is not divided, never was and never will be, but is always and every-where fully,- fairly and squarely presented. They do not pamper New York City and starve all the rest of the land with a cut down, inferior exhibition. On the con trary, they employ for the entire season the great artists which others can only afford to engage for a few days' met ropolitan appearance, and,consequently give the most expensive, brilliant and complete performance of all.

How long could an angel preserve his purity and go in society that some church members consider good. “It has cured others and will cure yon” is true only of Ayers Sarsaparilla. The motto suits the medicine and the medicine the motto. What better assu ranse could you have than a remedy will cure you. than the fact that it has cured such multitudes of others. There are people who never have a kind word to say to the living who are always praising the dead. As a blood-purifier, the most eminent physioians prescribe Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. It is the most powerful combination of vegetable alteratives ever offered to the public. As a spring and famley medi cine, it may be freely used by old and young alike.

HIDING PRETTY HARD. Ad Old Wartime Engineer Telia About na Eventful Railway Journey. Bivouacked- around a campfire one evening were a party of officers busily engaged in roasting goobers in the ashes and washing them down with the con tents of their canteens. “Never heard tell o’ the time I got lost in the moun tains with a engin’, did ye?" asked a tall, lanky, good humored comrade, who strolled up and helped himself to a hand ful of the goobers. Every man present expressed his bit ter regret at never having had the op portunity of hearing the story. “Waal,” said the tall man, seating him self on an upturned bucket, “I mont’s well tell ye, long’s tiler's time afore taps. I war runnin an engin’ fur the guv’ment doorin the war down in Ferginny. She wur an ol hookmotion Rogers an smart enuff to clim’ a tree ef she’d ’a- got toe holt onto it. “I had a nigger fireman as was afraid of his shadder, w’ich didn’t prevent him goin to sleep at any minute, day or night, whilst he war standin up lookin ahead, ’parently wide awake. But I wuz goin to tell ye about gettin lost. Ye see.’twas this way: They started us out one dark night over a branch that we didn’t know, and we had to go to it blin. The track war in turr’ble shape, an ’twould hev puzzled ye to say when we wuz on the rails an when we wuzn’t. I should say we everidged ’bout half and half. We was plowin Tong ’bout so so, when all of a suddent I saw by the headlight thet we was a-goin into a tunnil. “I giv Zeb a kick and hollered, ‘Zeb, is ther’ a tunnil on this line?’ “ ‘Can’t tell for shuah, boss,’ said he; ‘mighty cur us dc in’s these days. ’Twasn’t so ’fo’ de wah.’ “ ‘Waal, keep yer eye skinned fer snags,’ I sung out, an as I wuz sort of sleepy myself I snoozed off an on, mostly on, I guess, fer a spell, till finally the old gal giv’ a snort an stopped dead. We both on us waked up to wunst. “ ’Twas so dark I couldn’t see Zeb to kick him fer goin to sleep, but I cussed him fer lettin us hit a snag. ‘Git down ther’, ye coon, an see if we're on the rails,’ sez L “He took the torch -an clim'ed down an wallered roun awhile. Fust I knowed he wus back ag’in, his face white’s a sheet. “ ‘Well, what’s the matter now?’ I asked him. “ ‘Fo’ de Lo’d, boss,’ he sez, ‘we’s in de tun’l yit, an dere ain’t a rail in sight I’ “Jest ez I was gittin down to ’vesti gate, long comes the conductor. ‘What in thunder do you mean,’ says he, ‘by running this train six miles into a cave?1 “Shore enuff, those JohnnieB had taken up the rails and turned ’em into that cave, and that ol hook motion kept on a goin with ns till we struck the end of it. I ’member thinkin she was ridin pretty hard, but I s’posed she hed got off the ties onto the roadbed, which wasn’t grad ed very well.”—Kate Field’s Washing ton. Artificial Features. Artificial noses are now made of alu minium, and they are so perfectly shaped, colored and adjusted as to defy detec tion. The aluminium is first covered with some light cloth—muslin generally —and is then painted, and the color of the skin is so closely adhered to that it is impossible to tell which is the false nose and which the true until you pull it. The materials formerly used for this purpose were vulcanite, wax, celluloid, wood and porcelain, but for many rea sons aluminium is the superior of them all, it being lighter as well as stronger. Aluminium ears have become quite as fashionable as aluminium noses. There are more of these false noses and ears on the street than one would sup pose until one deliberately looks into the subject. Scores of people wear these de ceptive noses and ears, and so artistically are they made that it is impossible to tell the false with the naked eye. I have said that the best way to tell a real nose from the false member is to give it a jerk. Yet I must admit that if one were to go about jerking the noses of friends or strangers just to detect the false noses life might be made decidedly unpleasant for that one.—Chicago Tribune. — Yankee Sententlou.neu Saving Salt. In our opinion sententiousness is rare ly effective without a considerable dash of humor. How much more telling Em erson’s sententiousness was than that of most of his contemporaries (Goethe, for example, or Carlyle), just because Emer son was seldom sententious without a smile, while Carlyle was most senten tious when he was least humorous. A Yankee, indeed, seldom gives advice without a little irony pointed to himself for giving it, but Germans and English men are sententious in grim earnest and are very apt to be quite as self important as they are earnest. Very few of the so called wise sayings of Goethe and Car lyle are free from this fault of ponder osity.—London Spectator. Steam Vesiel First Used as a Transport. There is a curious fact that may have been overlooked—that troops withdrawn from Canada upon the close of the American war of 1812-15 for the purpose of joining the army intended to crush Napoleon after his return from Elba were transported down the St. Lawrence by a Canadian steamer. This was prob ably the first occasion on which a steam vessel was used for purposes of military transport.—Toronto News. A Sensible Prayer. “And now, parson,” said the editor, “will you ask a blessing before we dine?” “Good Lord,” said the parson, “have mercy upon this man and open his eyes that he may see and understand that greens are not greens without bacon, and that grace without grits is dead!”—At lanta Constitution. , The Beal Mother Goose. “Mother Goose,” who is probably more familiar to children than any other per sonage in story books, was a real person. Mrs. .Goose, for that was her real name, lived with a family named Fleet who cept a little store in Pudding lane,-Bos ton.—New York Sun. The Taste For Display. I am often reminded of how unwisely some wives spend money when shopping, but never more vividly than the other day when I watched a family in a Sixth avenue store. The occasion wa3 impor tant, that was easy to see, for even the father had left his work to take part in the selections. The mother, with a baby in her arms, was poorly dressed and with little attention to details. She wore no gloves, her shoes were slipshod and her choker unfastened. The father led a small boy who was rather gayly attired, but the chief object was a girl of 12 or 14 whom they were fitting out. They had been on the second floor, as appeared in the new drees and new jack et, a very light, delicate affair in the height of fashion, which was bound to show wear very soon unless kept far more carefully than there was any like lihood of its being. Now they were try ing on a bit white leghorn hat turned up in the back with a ribbon bow. The brim was edged with lace, while two large white plumes ornamented the crown. Never once during the interval of in decision did the mother glance toward the array of black or brown straws. Lizzie must have a big white hat, and of course the saleswoman was only too glad to show the expensive models. The father seemed proud of the new "rig,” and from his foiled and greasy pocket book gladly paid the money for the in appropriate hat just selected. The looker on could not but imagine its condition a few weeks hence, when, bedraggled and soiled, it would look so mean. In fact, there were quite a number of interested spectators slyly watching the scene, doubtless led by the contrast of such finery with the general appearance of ttft family. It seemed such a pity that the sum spent that morning should not have been for more serviceable apparel, but who would venture to interfere?—Brook lyn Eagle._ Seeing the Beautiful. Franklin tells a story of a man whose two legs were very unlike—one hand somely turned, the other deformed. When any one who visited him looked at the ugly leg and commented on it, he held the man to be looking for the bad side of things and folk. But if the vis itor saw his handsome limb and com mented on its beauty he held the fellow to be worth esteem, for he looked at the good side of things and probably’ would see the best in his neighbors and friends. Is it easier to see other people’s virtues than their faults? I have at last come to see that folk are far better than they get credit for being. When Carlyle and Emerson walked London and saw the horror of gin pal aces and the miseries of poverty, the former said, “What do you think now of the Saxon stock?” Emerson answered, “The more I see of the English people the more I admire their power and won der at their progress.” A story is told of Jesus that he was walking with some of his friends when they came on the car cass of a dog. They turned up their noses in horror, but Jesus stooped down, and looking said, “But behold what beau tiful teeth he has.”—St. Louis Globe Democrat. Won His Way Wltli Logan Carlisle. Every official in Washington just now is besieged by people in quest of office, and the treasury department has prob ably more than its share of them. Offi cials know how it is themselves, how ever, and their good nature is almost su perhuman. Among the extra well bal anced ones is Logan Carlisle, chief clerk of the treasury, and to him came a youth from Indiana, who wanted to know about a place that he had in view. “It’s this way,” said the young man after some talk. “I’m like the young man who had his leg cut off by a locomotive.’’' “How’s that?” inquired Logan. “I’m in need of immediate attention. “Oh, in that case," laughed Logan, “you’d better go to the Emergency hos pital." “Well,” exclaimed the youth, making a low bow, “here 1 am.” And Logan agreed on the spot to attend to his needs at the earliest opportunity.—Washing ton Cor. Chicago Herald. Mrs. Stanford's Jewels. Apropos of jewels, the handsomest in Washington is the collection owned by Mrs. Leland Stanford, wife of the mil lionaire senator from California. Her diamonds are second only in valne to the Russian and English crown jewels. They are of all tints—one pink, another yel low, one blue, besides the pure white stones, and the aggregate value is esti mated as being over $2,000,000. In Mrs. Stanford’s safe of steel, with time proof burglar locks, which, as she sel dom wears her jewels, is kept at a safe deposit company, are 50 diamond rings, each worth about $500. She cares for no other stones, so there are only dia monds in her collection.—Washington News. “Assistant Pastor.*' •‘Assistant pastor” is a new title for a woman and seems to be so far held by only one under this name. The pioneer in this field finds her home and work in Brooklyn, where, at a salary of $400 a year, she relieves the pastor of many routine duties that in a large city parish unwarrantably consume his time and energy. The office might better be called “pastor’s wife’s assistant,” for its work is taking a direct burden from the shoulders of those long suffering women. —New York Recorder. An Infantile Philosopher. A pretty little nonentity who has a brilliant mother exasperates her parents almost beyond bearing by such wise re marks as this, uttered after profound re flection upon some case of want and woe, “Well, when one thinks of it, it does not seem, does it, as though riches were even ly divided?”—Philadelphia Press. An Explanation. “I admit that I married for money”— began Hicks. . “Why, John!” ejaculated Mrs. Hicks. “I mean matrimony of course, my dear,” explained Hicks.—Harper’s Bar «*ar. * The Citizens Bank of McCook.
