Tills wholesonio and simple story Is one of the most dollBhtrul plays of recent years. It would be difficult to imag ino a prettier scene than that with which the first act of "roily" closes, it Is there that the young girl of the circus world sets her first Inskht into things that are .higher and better when, as she regains consciousness niu! realizes her helplessness, the minister reads to her, at her reiiuest. those memorable lines from the book of Ruth: "Knlreat me not to leave then; for whither thou goest. 1 will (.(: and where thou lodgest, t will Iodise-." The ( "irtaiu falls and the story is be gun. Pathos 1b mingled through tin! play with no less excellent humor than Polly's slang, when sho first con verses with the minister about his peo ple. Sho eals him a "sky pilot" and, talking of her business as compared with his ministerial duties, says: "One year you give them the rotten est kind of a show and they eat It up: the neNt year you give 'em a knockout and it's a frost," Those arc but ran dom examples. The circus scenes of tho third act are revelations of stage craft. It's all there, the rings, the horses, elephants, the clowns and aero bats and everything and everybody ; else. The setting of the last scene of the third act Is as wonder-j fill 'ns it Is beautiful. The , cir-: ens trains and wagons winding their way up the pathways while Polly re-' mains once more and forever behind with the man after her own hear'. : Taken all in nil. "Polly of the Circus" offers more pure fun and wholesome entertainment than any play lias bad in a long time, hence its success.

"I have attended most of the ses sions of the short course since the first one 15 years ago, and have been much interested in the rapid progress of scientific farming. When I was at Agricultural college teaching was just coming into vogue, and consisted merely of the analysis of soils and cereals. It was considered a great ; waste of time and great follishness to , send u boy to college to lear nto farm.' j Mr. Moses is greatly- interested in 1 the work of tho college, especially j since lie ha stwice filled the. presl- j dency of colleges, once as chief exe-' ciitlve of Wallace Institute at Van Huron.

The acci dent occurred early in the morning while the stock train was a short dis tance west of the summit of the Cas cade mountains. The train had stopped and Smythe and his foreman had gone forward to look at the sheep. When the train tsssasz started forward the foreman rushed back and climbed aboard the caboose but Smythe, who was farther behind, tried to get aboard a stock tar and In some manner was hurled under the wheels of the train. His left arm was cut off just below the shoulder and he received frightful injuries on. his head. He was ruBhed to the Green Lake sanitarium and given surgical aid. For some time his life held only by a thread and It was many weeks before he could leave the sanitarium. Pendleton E. O.
