Circus day is the youngsters’ busy time, the glitter of the spangles is in his eyes just as it was in his dad’s thirty years age when he trudged barefooted to town and carried water for the elephants to get into the show. The circus 1s an instructive instution and has proven beyoud a doubt that athletics and education go hand in hand, that the development of muscle and mind is now a part of the school- ing taught in all the gieat instituuions of the world. Parents should teach their children athletics. A weak body or mind 1s a poor foundation on which to build a good education. It has been proven time and again that a weak body and mind never made an educated man. A clear..demon- stration of all these qualifications can de seen in Gollmar Bros.’ show when they exhbilit here on ‘Thursday, June 29th. 2gth. Gollmar Bros.

Every town has its fault-finder who 1s ever to condemn all amusement } concerns as being immoral. The following from Chas. Dickens would not be out of place here: ‘Actors have faults and foibles I will not deny, they are men and women and _ they have the faults that all men and women have to a greater or less degree, but this I will confidentially amount awarded greater degree than other classes of society, while in many amiable re- spects they can lay claim to a larger | number of virtues.
