The two-horned i-hinnoornim was a Dier-eyed statue of stupid ennui, and the little leopards sprawled asleep like so many very nice tabbycats. Every day was circus day for them, and this particular day was sultry, to boot. But the slothful disposition of the big menagerie, when Ringling: Bros.' ticket sellers began their spells yester day, in no wise served to disenchant tha.

It seems reasonable . to assume that the old gentleman would have called the roll for most of the passen gers who sailed for Ararat on the misty morning of the record high water. There were emus, heavily feathered birds who are cousin to the ostrich, and there were ostriches yearn ing for tin cans and oranges. And there was a picket-line of elephants like those Kipling tells about In the Jungle Book great hulking, amiable beggars who shamelessly wheedled peanuts from their admirers. LauicMnS Hyena Won't LidkV. But the laughing hyena wouldn't laugh. Gloomy and restless, he and his family were, mottled dog-beasts that paced Incessantly or sat in silouhettes of desert gray, the unloved and unlov able pariahs of the tent. Restless, too, were Tom and Jerry, whose sweeping stripes of black against tawny pro claimed them of the royal Bengal line. They spat and hissed like disgruntled tomcats of the back alley, while the Nubian lioness In the next cage con veyed her contempt for such manners by a eldewise glance of sleeply superi ority. There was the water-buck that Teddy used to write so casually about, but the dik-dlk was marked by his absence. Yet Africa has dealt liberally with Ringling Bros., for In one somnolent hunk she had bestowed the veritable behemoth of holy writ. The hippo seemed free from care, her back awash in the great tank, and it took a second glance to make sure that the quiet bulk had breath in it. They hated to leave the Jungle-folk, did most people, when the fanfare of trumpets and the um-pah of the band announced the fairy pageant of Cin derella in the big tent. And Cinder ella Mnryrl of Air Perform. Say, did you ever have a fairy story happen before your very eyes? Have you seen the little maid in the ashes, with the cruel stepmother and the haughty stepsisters frowning and scold ing? Before those thousands of delighted folk yesterday Cinderella, of the good, old cloth-covered books, came Into her own. Hundreds of actors and actresses there were, ranks of halberdiers and hosts of velvet horsemen, and knights In armor, and court Jesters past all counting. Be assured that tumult be fitting royal nuptials rose when the little white slipper fitted the foot of the good little girl. And, speaking of royalty, the bluest blood of acrobatic ancestry furnishes the three-ring thfllls that bring amaze to Ringling Bros.' audiences. Lithe they were, and sure of eye and nerve. Under the big top they played dizzily with disaster that never befell. Clomu Parade Ln Profusion. And there was one girl ln blue and silver who left the arms of her trapeze mate in a straight plunge for the massed tiers far below. People shrank from the bolt of her body. And, lo, she was caught ln midair, swinging and smiling. And there a reckless wight who sped down a steep strand of wire on his head. And girls who rode with the sangfroid of spangled sprites, yet whose rounded arms were muscled with the strength of steel. And clowns you couldn't count 'em. Nobody tried to. for that matter, for they raced and tumbled and pranked ln a merry Jumble that was past all understanding. And the boys and girls shouted at them, and quite forgot to watch the gifted chap who was worst ing three men at a time in Jui Jltsu zasnion. Children. Tonic and Old, Agree. Shuffle them all together, then, ele phant Danas ana dog acrobats, mon keys who rode bicycles Just as well their cousins, Japanese Jugglers, and white horses and fearless animal tarn ers, spangled ladles and gentlemen at home on a whirling rope ln the upper air, add the band and the squawking vendors of ice-cream cones and lemo. and you have the three rings ln full swing. But you haven't the circus. If you weren't there. For the circus, as any 10-year-old can tell you, is some ' thing that must be seen to be under stood, and he will add his sympathy for your misfortune. One carries a certain regret away, out of the stifle and hub-bub and Into the fresher air, and carries it with the assurance that some thousands of others are registering the same plaint.

WAR INFLUENCES DANCE UOSE CHRISTEXSEX WORKIXG FOE REFIXED STANDARDS. Harold Kra, Elxkiccath Enclnnn. GRESHAM, Or., Aup. 27. (Special.) M. D. Kern Is ln receipt of a cablegram announcing the safe arrival in France of his son. Harold. The Eighteenth En gineers, of which he is a member, left American Lake, Wash., early this month and sailed from an Atlantlo port about the middle of the month. Mule of Old-Time Tunes to Be Incor porated, and New Steps Will Bo Originated. The vogue of acrobatic dances, of wild gymnastics on. the ballroom floor, are to pass by the decree of the Ameri can National Association Masters , of Dancing, now assembled in convention in New York. First among the crusaders for more refined standards ln dancing is Mose Christensen, of Portland, who Is now ln New York as president of tne asso ciation. Mr. Christensen is the pro prietor and principal of Chrlstensen's School of Dancing in this city. In an interview recently given to the New York Evening Telegram, the Portland dancinc master outlined his views. "There is no question that the people are heartily tired of the slapstick, slam-bantr style of dancing," said Mr. r-hriHtensen. "and are anxious to re turn to something akin to the digni fied steps of the past. We are going to give our united support to this Idea, with the intent of making social danc ing polite, simple and dignified. Of course, the "Jazz band' style of dancing will survive, at least for a time, be cause it Is wanted by certain classes who desire their dancing to be ac companied by noise and excessive con tortions, but ln the ballrooms the ob jectionable style will be taboo. "There is no doubt that the war will have an influence upon the American da.nces for the coming year at least. and not only will some of the music of the old-time war tunes be worKea Into the new dance music, but some or the dances will be given war titles. I understand that many of our teach ers have originated new war nnji. and these will be tried and the very best adopted. The probabilities are that thl3 year the association will standardize at least three dances, which will be taught alike everywhere, from coast to coast. "Incidentally the standardization of the leading dances has been needed for a long time. The name would be the same everywhere, but the teaching would be different in various places. This was confusing to persons who learned the steps of a certain dance ln San Francisco, only to find them selves at sea when trying to do the same dance in New York." The convention met August IS and will continue Its session, trying out new dances for adoption, until Septem ber 2. Mr. Christensen will remain in New York until the close of the ses sion, and will return to Portland with the steps which are to be popularized the coming season. HOOVER BULLETIN OUT FREE USE!

A new Hoover buUetin received by Federal Food Commissioner W. B.

Fortunately, we have for our own use a superabundance of foodstuffs of other kinds the perish ables, fish, corn and other cereals and surely our first manifest duty Is to substitute these for those other products which are of greater use to our fellow-fighters. Our second duty Is to eliminate nmctpa to the last degree.
