Coup in the Saturday Evening Post for April 14 interesting facts are told about moving the big show. The following tells of the first time it was tried by train: "Previous to 1872 the 'railroad circus' was an unknown quantity. Like all other circuses of that day, the big show of which I was the manager traveled by wagon. During our first season our re­ ceipts amounted in round numbers to $400,000, exclusive of side shows, con­ certs and candy stands. Of course we showed in towns of all sizes and our daily receipts ranged from $1000 to $7000. Finding that the receipts in the larger towns were frequently twice and three times as much as in the smaller ones, I became convinced that we could at least double our receipts if we could travel only from one big town to another. This was my reason for deter­ mining to move the show by rail the following season. "To this end, therefore; I at once telegraphed to the superintendent of the different railroads asking if they could accommodate us and guarantees to get us to the various towns in time. "After a great deal of correspondence I went to Philadelphia and interviewed the officials of the Pennsylvania com­ pany. I finally made arrangements With them. "After much preparation we eyent- ually fixed upon New Brunswick, New Jersey, as our first loading place. We were new at the work and so com­ menced loading at eight p. m. and finished the job at eight a. m. with no extraordinary incidents except the breaking of one camel's back--the creature having the misfortune to slip off the 5*runs.' From New Bruns­ wick we went to Trenton, where I had hired Pullman cars for our performers and band, and eheaper cars for our laborers and attaches. ' 'It was quite laughable, during the season, to watch the expression on the faces of our performers when they came on to join us and were shown the Pull­ man cars which were to be their homes for the next six months. 'It is too good to last,' remarked one. 'The expense will break the show,' said another." In almost every neighborhood there is some one whose life has been saved by Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar­ rhoea Remedy, or who has been cured of chronic diarrhoea by the use of that medicine. Such persons make a point of telling of it whenever opportunity offers, hoping that it may be the means of saving other lives. For sale by Julia A. Story. BAKKKVLLL.E.

An important change, and one of special interest to the magazine publish­ ing fraternity, is the resignation last week of Captain Henry Drisler from Harper & Brothers, where he has held positions of trust and responsibility for nearly a quarter century, the past ten years having been advertising manager of all the Harper periodicals. Captain Drisler's wide circle of friends in the publishing trade will be pleased to know that he has purchased a sub­ stantial interest in Frank Leslie's Popu­ lar Monthly and the other properties of Frank Leslie's publishing house. He has been elected a director and treasurer of the Leslie house, and will, in con­ junction with Mr. Frederic L. Colver, the president, .manage the company's affairs. A continuance of the remark­ able progress of Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly as a ten cent magazine is assured by the new connection, and Captain Drisler's added experience bids fair to further the line of advancement. Mrs. Frank Leslie remains as editor, with Mr. Henry Tyrrell as managing editor, Mr. H. M. Eaton art manager, and Mr. Charles Schweinleras mechani­ cal superintendent. Mr. F. C. Jappe, the secretary, and Messrs. Chas. D. Spalding, Robert C. Wilson and Robert Frothingham, the advertising represen­ tatives, have each acquired an interest in the stock of the company. » SPRING <|ROVJE, . v Robert Eshwas a Visitor in Chicago Monday. \ School election next Saturday night; April 21.

The ut­ most sympathy from their former neigh­ bors is extended to them in their sorrow. Remarkable Care for Rheumatism. KENNA, Jackson Co., W. Va. About three years ago my wife had an attack of rheumatism which confined her to her bed for over a month and rendered her unable to walk a step with­ out assistance, her limbs being swollen to double their normal size. Mr. S. Maddox insisted on my using Chamber­ lain's Pain Balm. I purchased a fifty- cent bottle and used it according to the directions and the next morning she walked to breakfast without assistance in any manner, and she has not had a similar attack since.--A.

During the later years they have come to the front as a big yielder. Prof. W. A. Henry, of the Wisconsin Experiment Station, says of it in Bulletin 16: "For productiveness and stiffness of straw and thinness of hull the White Shonen stands at the head of the list." We have raised these elegant oats for three years. Last year we threshed 1528 sacks <of cilEs averag­ ing 85 lbs. to the sack from fifty-five acres, or an average of 73 bu. per acre. It surely pays to discard your old run out and mixed oats and get an oat with new vigor and productiveness. We pay the greatest attention tp our seed oats and know what we offeris the pure and genuine White Shonen. These oats are grown on our farm and are free from foul weed seed. We offer these oats at 35 cents in 1 to 80 bushel lots and 32 cents in larger lots. Oats delivered at C. N. W. Ry. at Ringwood, free of charge.
