HONORABLE MENTION We wish to give special mention to James E. Weesner, who contributed a story for the junior Palladium, which we were unable to publish. ,: r

Circus is Comin'! Dull care takes to the brush at the approach of Howe's Great London Circus and Van Amburg's Trained Wild Animals great army of clowns. The undertaker becomes Jovial, the chronic dyspeptic releases the frown from his forehead and holds his sides and the sedate Judg9 laughs immoderately. It is a show in which the comedy element cuts no small figure. Clowns have been gathered from all quarters of the globe, and the result is a well diversified array of droll stunts absolutely new and

funnier thaaever. Public events are travestied, prominent men are impersonated in grotesque caricature, short plays and screaming pantomimes are enacted and from beginning to the end the great arena rings with laughter. The Howe-Van Amburg' show enjoys the reputation of having the world's best clowns on its list of performers and of being the originators of all great clown stunts. Their standing is high and the most up-to-date in 1 m 1c r y is shown. There is a laugh a minute tucked away between exploits of daring and feats of skill, the

great army of jesters filling every pause in the won d e r f u 1 performance with shouts of laughter. It is the sort of nonsense that the best of men relish and are the better for having laughed at it. The combined shows will exhibit In Richmond on Friday, Aug. 6, giving two performances, at 2 and 8 p. m. Doors will open one hour earlier.

HEAR JUNGLE STORIES The jungle stories that please

read-it-again kind of stories told by Rudyard Kipling were read to the children of the Warner school

playground during the past week.
