Ringling Circus. A team of llamas pulling a fairy tableau float, is one of the novel sights found this year in Ringling Brothers' street pageantry. There is also a team of eight zebras, which are supposed to be unbreakable. Six elephants, driven tandem, and hitched to ah immense British Indian chariot of war is still another sight. A team of twenty camels, driven by one man, pulls another heavy art van. From the great golden band chariot in the lead, with its team of thirty horses, to the fantastically carved steam siren wagon on the tall end three miles away, the parade is one long panorama of the wonders of the world. It unfolds itself into startling pictorial surprises before the eyes of Experience Gained. While In The Drug Business I nave Deen trouhiea more or less in the last five years with kidney trouble and from the experience I gained while in the drug business and from different cases where I have sold Swamp-Root with perfect satisfaction to those who purchased it, and as I never had a single complaint regarding the medicine while I was in business, I was in a position to know that it was a great preparation and it did not fail me when I used it myself. It has certainly afforded me great relief at all times that my kidneys' have troubled me and I would not be without it. I always recommend Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root to my friends as I believe it to.be a medicine of great curative value in the diseases for which you recommend it. Sincerely, D. A. KOONCE, Columbia, Ala.

Pour a few drops from the bottle into the little hard rubber pocket inhaler that comes with each outfit, and breathe it four or five times a day. Immediately you will know that HYOMEI soothes and heals the inflamed and irritated membrane. But HYOMEI does more than soothe and heal; it kills the germs, those persevering pests that are the root of all catarrhal conditions. A complete HYOMEI outfit which includes an indestructible pocket inhaler costs only $1.00. If you now own a HYOMEI inhaler, you can get an extra bottle of HYOMEI for only 50 cents at Leo H. Fihe's and druggists everywhere. spectators. It discloses a thousand novelties. Every mile is a mile of wanders, peopled with strange human types from every civilized and uncivilized land on the earth. Over 650 horses and two-thirds of. the elephants in America are shown. Ringling Brothers have surpassed all their brilliant records with this new spectacle. It was built in the foreign workshops of the show in England last winter, by an army of the most skillful of Italian and French artists and originators. It cost the management over $1,000,000. Only the best materials were used. The wagons, dens, chariots, floats, howadahs, rickshaws, thrones, ships of state and palanquins are hand-carved and burnished with pure gold-leaf. The costumes are of the finest silks and broadcloths. Th were designed and woven in France. The flags, banners, scarfs and standards are expensive works of Japanese art. The harness is silver mounted. In the children's section there are pumpkin carriages, golden chariots, fairy river barges, enchanted palaces, floating carpets, diamond grottos, submarine fairy domains and allegorical and child-lore. All the characters of mythology and child-lore. All the myths of Mother Goose's realms are there. The fete-day scenes of quaint countries are depicted. This great parade will begin the day's festivities when the show exhibits in Richmond on Tuesday, May 7. The addition to the regular performance of the $500,000 wordless spectacle, "Joan of Arc," has given Ringling day a double significance. The spectacletin itself is a wonderful power of attraction. There is no stage in America large enough to hold a spectacle of the dimensions of this one. In one big scene, the coronation of Charles VII, 1,200 characters are within view of the audience. Field Minstrels. Stage novelties to thrill or interest audiences are sought but not often found to have the effect hoped for -by produceas. Many elaborate stage productions of considerable merit fall flat because they do not create common interest. Any production .that arouses general interest is always successful. The big baseball burletta presented by the Al. G. Field Greater Minstrels, in which many of the famous ball-toss-ers of both big leagues are impersonated by men resembling the originals with the aid of the art of make-up, is one of the big successes of the season as the impersonations are strikingly real. Not only in appearance do the minstrel men resemble the big men of the diamond but they give excellent imitations of the antics of their namesakes. The preparatory work-out of a big league team as shown is a pronounced hit. Tyrus Cobb, the famous Georgia Peach, Hans Wagner, the ungainly shortstop of the Pirates, Mike Donlin, and Big Ed Walsh, flinger extraordinary of the Chicago Americans, are all impersonated by good likenesses on the stage.' Larry Lajoie, the great Frenchman of the Cleveland Naps, Rube Marquard and Christy Mathewson, the two husky twirlers of the Giants who failed to stop Connie Mack's Athletics in the world's series, and Tommy Leach, are other stars impersonated. Fans will be delighted to see the impersonation of John Franklin Baker, "home-run" Baker, hero of the world's series, whose stick work virtually won the world's title for the Mackmen and proved the downfall of McGraw's Giants. Eddie Collins also has an impersonator in the line-up. Here Thursday night. At The Murray. Graft in matters poltical and the subservance of officers whose authority is a mockery and a sham, is the basis of theme of "The Governor Pro Tem" wtihout a question of a doubt the greatest vaudeville playlet that has ever been seen at the Murray. It was presented last night by Weston, Raymond and Company,-and repeated curtain calls testified more eloquently than words to the deep impression the sketch made upon the large audience. It is a wonderful playlet, this "Governor Pro Tem." In construction it is very nearly faultless, the lines read beautifully and action moves very swiftly. There is not a single instant of the twenty minutes the playlet consumes that your interest is not at the highest pitch. Essentially, "The Governor Pro Tem" is a comedy, there are many legitimate laughs in it which is even heightened by the few minutes of dramatic recital of the wife who pleads for the pardon of her husband from the make-believe executive. While there is much of interest in the act never at any time does it descend to rant and melo-dramatics. Its drama is powerful and its comedy without the slightest tinge of "horseplay." As George Wade, the crook, and "Governor Pro Tem" Burt, Weston does the best thing in his career. He is convincing and clever. Miss Raymond is excellent in the role of the pleading wife.
- DM BEING PUT IH THE WRONG
The Maddening Complacence of the Lofty Ones Who Are Always Putting You Right and Forgiving You for Your Blunders.
BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. To be continually put in the wrong. When, of course, you know you're always right. Is there anything more irritating? "I should say not," said the other person. "Maria is always doing that with me. No matter what or how or where Maria sits aloft complacently pointing out and explaining and forgiving and saying how glad she is that at least you can see for yourBelf how misinformed and pig-headed and obstinate and stubborn you have been." "And how she knows you'll know better next time and not offend again and pursue a different course and mend your ways and be more considerate of others and not forget you're not the only person in the world and " interrupted Sal. "Nonsense girls," said the doctor, "Maria means well. She's merely affected with obliquity of the ego."" "Say that again," declaimed Sal. "I'm lending my attentive ear," cried the other person. "Besides," pursued Sal, "I don't know any class of persons that do more harm than those that mean well." "I'd just as lief be told I had a good heart," said the other person. "Which being interpreted means," deployed Sal, "that you're perfectly safe and eligible for invitations to all your married friends' houses. "I'd hate to be so cynical," said the doctor. "This is a world of facts," replied Sal. "Why its true," said the other person. "Look how popular Maria is. Its just because she isn't regarded as dangerous by the women." "And the funny part of it is," went on Sal, "that she thinks she's quite irresistible." "That's part of her oblique ego," grinned the doctor. "The trouble with you women," continued the doctor, "is your dev confounded inability to get away from the personal attitude the Individual relation." "Is this a lecture before the Green County Medical Society?" inquired Sal. "Or a dissertation on feminine psychology before the Amalgamated Order of Near Scientists?" interpolated the other person. "I'm merely trying to illustrate your peculiar case," growled the doctor declining to be pushed into the offing. "Here you started out on a generality which might be applied to the exploitation of a social problem and narrow right down to lambasting Maria because she's past the age limit and unattractive to the men." "Ha you admit it!" cried the other person and Sal in chortling unison. "Admit what?" "That Maria's not dangerous." "I don't admit anything," said the doctor. "Merely stating a fact." "Better and better!" gurgled Sal. "Oh, poor Maria!" mocked the other person. "You could tell Maria was good by her face," said the doctor. "I always judge a woman by her face." "There's nothing original about that," said Sal. "All men do. And put a woman in the right or wrong accordingly." "I'm appalled by your logic," sarcasticated the doctor. "It's the truth, though," said the other person, "that Maria will put you in the wrong every time. Once I heard Liz Maria's cousin, you know commiserating Maria on the fact that she had been badly used by her sister's husband's people. It is a fact' that she has, too. You know Maria has hardly a thing to live on because when her sister died, her husband's people gobbled up every bit of money her sister had since no will had been made and the laws of the state permitted 'em to do it. , .

"It was a shame. "Everybody admitted and knew it "Liz was always indignant about it. She said it was the most cold-blooded steal she had ever heard of. She was
Maria's champion and fairly made enemies when the whole thing happened j by sticking out for Maria and her wrongs. "And Maria turned on Liz and read her the most righteous lecture you ever heard of. "She said that those people had a perfect right to do whatever they wanted to do with her sister's money. "That her sister's husband was a good man and had always been mighty nice to her. "That she never discussed her affairs with anybody and lamented that Liz was so tactless and undiplomatic that she would publicly sympathise with her on a state of affairs when she neither needed nor wanted either sympathy or advice. "She deplored the disposition of Liz to express herself with vehemence on matters about which she was wholly uninformed and advised her to curb her ardent interest in her (Maria), in the future' "Liz was furious," said Sal. "I remember it." "And all the time Liz's father had been sending monthly deposits to the bank for Maria's account and doing it anonymously so Maria wouldn't feel under any obligation and having a pretense made that the resources came from some left over securities' from her sister's fortune." "And Liz was put in the position of a Ineddlesome, officious, tactless per son, when the fact was that she was Maria's best friend." "Liz never spoke to her again," interpolated Sal. Then there are the people who are real pleasant pleasant for personal and financial reasons. They're always grinning and smirking and jumping into the breach and putting you in the position of being sulky, sullen, disobliging and disagreeable by contrast with their excessive amiability when all the time they are trying to put you to the bad by the force of comparison. The more amiable they become, the more disgusted you get with their hypocrisy, this disgust enveloping you with its gloom.

"I remember," said the doctor, "of a position I was placed in once. Our congregation wanted to get rid ot a superannuated clergyman. He had outlived his day but refused to recognize it. He was esteemed, beloved, respected but we needed new blood. "The committee came to me and said that since I had long been a pillar of the church and was highly regarded by our clergyman I was the person to go to him and explain the situation. "I didn't want to do it but was urged and pushed and so insisted upon that I had an interview with the old gentle man. "He was outraged. He said so. He re fused to budge.

"The meeting ended with a general ovation to the clergyman. much backslapping, handshaking and general jollification the while I was shoved into a corner, glared at by the clergyman and grinned at sheepishly and apologetically by the committee. "The whole congregation jumped on me. Evidently, they said, I didn't go about it the right way or he wouldn't have been offended and If I hadnt been so officious and insisted upon do ing it all myself things might have been adjusted so I cut the whole thing. I've never been to church since, said the doctor. "Ever going again?" asked Sat, "Not if I know it," deployed the doc tor darkly. "You cant drive a convict back to Jail." IMPATIENCE. In the impatient mood we are apt to spend far more than is required in the doing of our work, and this excess is lost We cannot estimate the value of the power thus misplaced.
