Being wounded, they cannot move, and so they aie killed in their beds or in the air as their beds are blown out from under them. "Gott being with us, let us blow up all the Red Cross hospitals we can." So the "Greatest Mother in the World" remains a shining mark for the "Superbedst's" efficient elimination of his enemies.

Welch, publisher of the Stillwater, Minn., Messenger, has recalled to 1 r. M. ii. Welch incidents of olden days when he was well acquainted with noted circus men. The son had just visited Die Mingling Mios. show. lr. Welch as a small Ooy was a bare back rider with Han Costello's famed show. He knew well Han Mice, who once gave out a newspaper story de claring that electric lights endangered the lives of those who used them. A portion of the recent letter follows : "Dear Had Well, 1 was over to see the big show Monday and 1 had a right good time. They surely have a big show. The day was ideal, hot too hot. After waiting around for about an hour I finally saw Charley Mingling. He ,is grey, anil much heavier than when 1 met him last, !." years ago. Alt'. T. is not with the show any more. He has not been traveling for some years, living in New York. Charley, Mingling told me that he was over to Stillwater the previous Sunday. I told him 1 wished 1 had known he was com ing. We did n ; -1 have very much tunc to visit, as he was busy, had tu go down town in response to a telegram, Put he invited me to lunch, and so i had the pleasure of eating in the b.g airy outdoor dining ten. The folks all looked alike and Jt st like other folks. They had a rooster and lien helot g :ng to the show that got a living trom the tallies. Rather a unique idea. We had frankfurters and potato salad, fruit, bread and butter and coffee. They have dinner at .1 p. in. ; this was only lunch. 1 had quite a visit with the boss of the cook house. He has a little cflice tent, and was just sitting there doing nothing. He lias been with the show 21 years. His name is Webb, lie said they are g. It ing along o. k. on the food administration order. They have a lutle less than 12tKi people with the silo. The bunch is a little short on account of the war hard to get work ing men. My, they surely have a big outfit M cais back with the show, just ti'iirik of it: There are big dressing tents along side the big top, where the ballet master and the chorus dress. They have a big spectacle "In Days ol old," and it is very good. They have ,"i(M) people in this, and use calcium lights to get the effects. They have two big electric light outtits run by gas engines. The baliet master has a little tent of his own, too. 1 did not get down to see the horses, as the horse tents were two blocks away. Charley Rooney is the new man in charge. Delevan is dead, as you told me, " Clarence Brown (lets I uicue Relics While in Portland last week Clarence Mrown purchased from an old Confed erate soldier, whose name he.dul not learn, newspapers published before and during the Civil war.
