The Sells & Downs circus
showed at Newport Tuesday and
proceeded to rob the people right

greatest gang of grafters,
thieves and sure-thing gamblers
of any circus in the United
States.—Poplar Bluff Citizen.

PECK’S BAD BOY.
Coming, the funniest troupe of
fun makers on the road, in that
famous old farce comedy Peck’s
Bad Boy, at the opera house next
Wednesday night. You saw it
when you were children and
laughed. Why not let your chil
dren see it and laugh, too? Miss
Padline Seldon will act the part
of the bad boy, the part for
which she was born, while Harry
Willis as Schultz can keep a
Dutch grocery better than ever.
Besides all this there is vaude
ville galore. The Bartletts’ mu- j
sical act is rich, while the Grier
son sisters in their unique sing
ing and dancing specialties are
the best on the road. Don’t fail
to see it.
WHEN TOGO WAS YOUNG.
Example of the Japanese Admiral’s
Alertness of Mind Given in
Boyhood Days.
A retired English naval officer, who
when a lad, was on board the training
ship Worcester, at the same time as the
future Japanese Admiral Togo, accord
ing to the Rochester Herald, tells the
following reminiscences:
“Togo was constantly the victim of all
manner of chaff from the young British
ers on board, who called him ‘One-go
two-go-three-go.’ Disliked at first,
perhaps because he was unlike his
mates, he grew in popularity on account
of his remarkably alert mind and agile
body, until at length he became a gen
eral favorite with officers and hoys.
“He stood all chaff with a certain
amount of hravado. unless it touched
on his resemblance to the Chinese. To
one fellow sailor who dubbed him a
Chinaman, he said, with emphasis:
‘When 1 am “the” admiral, I hang you
to the yardarm.’
_ j m—, v.n*3 Via laovn etnnnnd
VJUO --- * -
for some small offense. ‘Liberty boys
to go ashore,’ was piped, and the boys
went up to him and said: ‘Are you to go?
‘No,’ he replied. Immediately the young
sters got around him and pinched him,
for telling lies, shouting at the same
time: ‘You are Togo.’
“His praenomen being rather difficult
to pronounce, Togo was told by one of
the boys to shoot his godfather and god
mother on his return home. ‘We do not
shoot gods in Japan.’ was his reply.”
OUR neTohbor’s motives.
It Is Better to Bisk Guessing Them j
to Be Good Than Think
Them Evil,
A life is composed of motives as a
sentence is composed of words. Our
neighbor’s life is written in a language
not exactly our own. It is a foreign
tongue, which we too easily flatter
ourselves we understand, and which
we too presumingly profess to inter
pret. But every conscientious trans
lator knows the danger of free guess
ing at the meanings of strange words.
From the context, says the Sunday
School Times, he may guess rightly
four times out of five, and from the
very forms of the words themselves
he may often successfully dispense
with his dictionary. But once in a
while he will be lured into a false
guess that will warp the real meaning
or absolutely invert the author’s inten
tion. So it is with our neighbor’s mo
tives. It is easy to fancy ourselves
master of the language of his life. It
is easy to put many a correct interpre
tation upon his deeds. But guessing
at the secret springs of a soul is haz
ardous business—when the guess is
damaging. Many a life that is strug
gling to do better is crushed and bro
ken by a false guess at its meaning.
If a motive must be attributed to a
problematic action, it is better to risk
guessing it to be good than guessing
it to be evil.

"I have for several years suffered at
times with heart trouble. I got so
bad I could sot sleep half the night,
and had to sit up on the side of the
bed lots of time* to get breath. Three
of my brothers have died of heart trou
ble, and I thought I was going the same
way, but about two and a naif years
ago I got a pamphlet about Dr. Miles’
New Heart Cure and thought I would
try a few bottles. After using them I
recovered, and have had better health
since then than before for several years.
I can heartily recommend them for heart
trouble.’’—REV. JERRY HURT, Pastor
