The Sparks Shows, which exhibit aere Monday, October 26, will present this year what Is claimed to be I e most wonderful herd of performing Seals ever exhibited to Lancaster county circus going folks, j They walk tight ropes, balancing an umbrella on the tips of their noses. 1 They ride galloping horses while higgling rubber balls and do other stunts equally amazing. The Seal, judged by the expression In his expressionless eyes, has no brain worth speaking about, and yet i they are wonderful imitators and can learn many tricks requiring dexterity with less effort than can members of the human family. Another very interesting thing Eibout these Sea Lions is their voracious appetite. They have to be fed almost entirely on live fish, which are shipped from either the Atlantic or Pacific ocean, and hence In these times of the high cost of living this performance must come at a nrettv hieh fieure. Wo are also told that real live elephants will play baseball to the delight of the kids, as well as ?he Rrown-uns, for as you know the father Is necessarily called upon to take the "children out to see the animals." Of course having this arduous labor to perform for the educational knowledge it imparts to his offspring, he cannot be censured for enjoying himself to the fullest extent, under the Imposed conditions. Let us not waste too much sympathy on him, however. For what purpose are fathers except to play the part of martyrs to the rising generation? Let the fathers rage for the kids will surely rejoice. W. S. H. SUFFERS BROKEN ARM. Willie Marion Reel Thrown Front Horse. While riding a spirited horse late last Friday afternoon. Master Willie Marion Reed, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Reed, was thrown off and suffered a broken elbow Joint. The arm was set by Dr. W. F. Laney, who suggested that as it was broken at the joint, it might be well to have an X-ray examination made. Mr. Reed accordingly took the child to Kook Hill, where Dr. Fennell made such examination and assured him that the hone had been properly set. , Ry exercising the arm as soon as the bones knit, it is hoped that the limb will not become stiff and that Willie Marion will soon suffer no discomfort from the accident. Derailment on L. & C. The westbound Lancaster & Ches-! ter train met with a slight accident j Tuesday afternoon about eight and % half miles from Chester, which re-j suited In the tearing up of the track Tor a distance of several yards and j the derailment of three freight cars. , After a little delay a freight car took the passengers to Chester.

On account of the prevalence during the past month of several cases of diphtheria, whooping cough and sore eyes, in the mill village, the enrollment for September was not quite so good as usual for the first month, but the average attendance has been the best in the history of the school. New pupils are now coming in each week. We are making splendid progress at this time, and indications are that this will be our best year. This year we have added a manual training and a sewing class to our work. The pupils are intensely interested in the work, and are making highly creditable progress. We reauest that the patrons of the mill school visit us from time to time at their convenience for the purpose of becoming better acquainted with us and with the character of our work. J. K. CONNORS.
