The Mighty Haag Railroad Shows
have the most unique trained animal
act ever produced, composed of bears
ponies and blue faced monkeys. Pro¬
fessor Charles Duncan, who has creat¬
ed this act, says without doubt there
is not another act in the world to
equal it. The blue faced monkeys,
which are used in this act, are a great
specimen of animal intelligence, be¬
ing as near the missing link as can be
found. Words will not express the
many remarkable qualities of human
! intelligence that are shown by these
blue faced monkeys. This act is on¬
ly one of the many features with the
Mighty Haag Railroad Shows which
will exhibit at Covington on Sept. 27.
The Tented City.
When most of the town is still slum¬
bering the Mighty Haag railroad
shows will arrive here on their own
special trains and by the time the
town is awake there will be a tented
city complete in itself, having sprung
up in one night.
This tented city is as complete as
j any city of modern times, as a visit
to the show grounds will prove.

NOISES IN VENICE.
The Way They Crash Upon the Nor¬
mal Quiet of the City.
With all the water traffic and with
not a horse or a cab or a wagon to
wake the echoes, the utter silence of
Venice Is the thing that first Impresses
the traveler. Yet because there is no
undertone of city noises in which occa¬
sional noises may merge the Grand
canal at Venice seems to the sleeper at
night the noisiest place in the world,
for every little noise crashes into
one’s sleep, and the most wakeful
hours of our six weeks in Italy were
spent on the Grand canal in Venice.
The bells of the churches probably do
not ring louder nor more frequently
than they ring in other cities, yet be¬
cause Venice is so still these bells
clang through the night like the alarm
of a continuous and ever increasing
fire. The bawl of a lovelorn human
calf carrying home three drinks and
a throbbing heart, a noise that may be
heard by the attentive listener any
place on earth after 11 o’clock. In
Venice becomes Insistent and demo¬
niacal. The common quarrel in the
street enters the bedroom at night
with nerve racking distinctness, and
the morning song of the market gar¬
dener bringing bis wares to town in
his silent boat smites tbe sleeper’s
ears like a call to arms, if Macbeth
really did murder sleep, the crime was
done in Venice.
There are, of course, considerable
acres in Venice—islands- where tbe
streets are paved and where commerce
goes on in the ordinary way, except
that thefe are no horses or carriages
in the narrow ways.—William Allen
White In Emporia Gazette.
ATHLETIC TRAINING.
To Acquire an Excess of Muscle May
Prove Injurious.
Nothing could be more elusive than
the idea that by a period of athletic
training a man can lay in a stock of
health and strength upon which be can
draw later while engaged in a seden¬
tary occupation. Tbe truth is that the
big muscles and hypertrophied heart
of tbe athlete are perilous possessions
for tbe man who no longer has tbe
time or the inclination for using them.
When he stops the exercises by which
be gained them, instead of simply re¬
turning to their original size they suf¬
fer one or another of the many forms
of degeneration and become incapable
of performing their original services.
It is not quite true that ail exercise
for its own sake is harmless, for it is
well to be prepared for the meeting of
life’s little emergencies as well as its
ordinary and daily demands, but it
probably is true that, tbe emergencies
apart, every man does enough in going
about his customary business and
pleasure to keep himself in the condi¬
tion which that business and pleasure
demand and that anything besides is
superfluous or injurious. That athletics
take one into the open air is less a
commendation of athletics than an in¬
dictment of our bouses, offices and
stores for lack of adequate ventilation.
If all the air we breathe was pure air
we could get along well enough with¬
out any open air at all. Any man who
has the muscle he needs for doing the
things he wants to do and should do
has all the muscle he ought to have.
To acquire more is a silly waste of
time and perilous besides.—New York
Times.

Guest—He seems a very nice young
man. What’s bis profession? Hostess

what is that, pray? Hostess—Ob, we
invite him especially to give attention
to our wallflowers.—Boston Transcript.
The Moisture.
“Does your wife cry when she gets
angry?’’
“Yes,” answered Mr. Meekton. “It
isn’t tbe beat of her temper that dis¬
tresses me so much as tbe humidity”
