Today we tell of a hippodrome re

of the big John Robinson circus.
Tlllie, the belle of the Robinson ele
phant herd, was feeling Indisposed.
She gave It out good and strong and
In unmistakable language at an early
hour that It was "23“ for her Instead
of a drill down town as" a parade at
traction.
The attendants were alarmed, fear
ing that Tlllie had drank something
that didn’t have the lid on. So Tim
Buckley was routed out of his bed and
hurried to the elephant quarters In an
automobile, for Tim knows acme
things about elephants that some oth
er people dont’ know,
Tim looked at Tlllie and the big
animal turned a half-closed, languid
optic at Buckley and twisted her trunk
toward her Jaw and told him In plain I
elephant language that the old molar I
In her left upper Jaw was troubling
her again.
It was beating like a snare drum or

lie tapped, scraped, drilled and did
things to that elephant's tooth that^ a
steel plllur would have resented, but
Tlllie—proud and brave—she took tt
like a girl accepting her engagement
ring. For Tlllie wanted to head the
Parade *lm m>w goiti in her teetn.
And Tim he completed the Job In
time after resorting to melting a part
of his gold watch to meet the emer
gency.
Tlllie Is tho elephant who shows her
teeth In Hie parade. All who aco tho

Portsmouth, Ohio, who was visiting in

In an extended review counsel de

ending forever the peril of the moral
deflation of her household. He ex
plained the marriage contract

established from tho very beginning,
and stated that domestic difficulties

As a result of this need each state

ON CIRCUS OAY
Except Lunch Stands Will
be Required to Pay a
License,
For several years It has been a cus
tom or an oversight on tho part of
tho officials to allow any ono who de
sired to do so to run a stand on the
streets on circus days for the purpose
ot selling lunches, drinks (soft),
candy, cigars, fruits and the like. Sev
eral of the merchants have complained
and raised an objection on the ground
that the Itinerants sold a great deal
on those days and did not pay any
thing for the privileges, while they,
who pay a regular city license, suffer
from tho Itinerant business. Mayor
Dorsey has decided to require a li
cense on all stands operated next
Monday, which is circus day, with the
exception of strictly lunch stands, for
every stand a license must be paid
the city.
It Is believed that those who patron
ize the lunch stands would not pat
ronize tho hotels or restaurants, as
tho clement will be laigely ot the col
ored population, and the standi would
be a convenience for that class. The
action ot the mayor wilt be endorsed
by the merchants and at the same
time bring a considerable amount
Into the city's treasury.
