OXFORD EXPLORERS
II CIIIBSL ISEE
Will Go From English Univer
sity to Study Customs' of Na
tions. Headed by David Jen
ness.
London.—An expedition has set out
from Oxford University with Its ob
jective a cannibal isle in the South
Seas, where it expects to spend a
year in studying the habits of the
natives.
The party of scientists Is headed by
David Jenness, the anthropological
expert of Balloil College. The explor
ers will locate on Goodenough Island,
which is situated In the extreme
southeasterly corner of British New
Guinea, Little is known of the in
terior of this island, but it has been
asserted that cannibalism is prac
ticed there on an extensive scale.
Occasionally a government official
pays a visit to the isle, but. being un
willing to provide the native with a
banquet, wisely confines his investi
gations to the coast line. For this
reason the interior remains unex
plored. One or two attempts have
been made to map the inland, but tho
explorers have never returned.
Goodenough .Island, which is of vol
canic formation, is believed to be the
highest island of its size in the world.
It is forty miles long and thirty miles
across, and its highest mountain ex
tends 8,000 feet above sea level.
If you smoke a BINGO your girl will

“SPORTSMEN'S DAY"

COMING OF THE CIRCUS
INTERESTS EVERYBODY
• .
The Big Brand New Forepaugh
and Sells Shows in Augusta
Tuesday.
There is a sort of mystery about the
dircus and its wonderful power On old
and young. It Is an indefinable some
thing which cannot be explained and
still exists in nearly every heart.
This feeling is much in evidence jbst
now, as the Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers Big United Shows are oom'ing
next Tuesday. Last night a gray-hair
ed man of eighty years was seen exam
ining the .bills untjer the glare of the
electric lights and manifesting more In
terest in them than he has In anything
since Dewey captured the Spanish fleet.
"Are you going to the Show?” asked
The Herald reporter. “Ah no,” he re
plied, ”1 am too old for that My son
has been after me to go and Willie (his
grandchild) seems determined I must
take him to see the animals, but I don't
think I can go," This grand old man
possibly does not know it hUmself, but
the reporter hasn’t the least bit of hesi
tancy In saying the Adam Forepaugh
and Sells Brothers Circus will get some
of his money, October 17.
The coming of a circus turns the most
prosaic business man into a boy of ten.
Were it not for his position he would
run after the band wagon, carry water
for the elephants and steal his way un
der the canvas. No matter how imprt
ant the deal he has on for show day, he
will find time to see the parade and
the engagement will indeed be import
ant which keeps him from the afternoon
or night performance of the Adam Fore
paugh and Sells Brothers Shows.
Ev e ry body is talking about it--the
BINGO.
