REMARKABLE LA DV HLKPHANT TRAINER WITH SPARKS CIRCUS I rances Widener of the Sparks Cir cus has perhaps been justly called the most daring woman in the world be cause she is the only woman who has ever successfully trained a large herd of elephants without the aid of man Added to this she possesses all of the control of tho masters of this strange and curious art The Sparks Circus which is to exhibit in Danville on Wed April 9 has always boasted possessing the most marvelously trained elephants on the face of the globe it being conceded by all show men that they work faster than any ever before the public and they are handled educated and introduced by this dainty little woman who as be fore stated is in a class by herself in a small 40 ft ring with half a dozen of these tremendous animals capering about you executing impossible stunts never allowing any of them to miss their cues and making each one perform at an appropriate moment and at tho same time seeing to It that you are not trampled upon maimed or otherwise injured yourself you are accomplishing what any Woman will tell you is one of the most hazardous of all feats because no animal of the menagerie requires more careful or Incessant watching than the elephant Of ccourse there are many other lady animal trainers with Sparks Circus for this season Mgr Sparks seems to have specialized in wild animal acts for instance Madam Dorothy who puts the large and ferocious croup of leop ards thru their paces as nonchalantly and with the same degree of pleasure as the average woman in every day life caresses an ordinarv house cat Both of these remarkable and fearless women will be seen at the perform ance this city on April 9 Seats can be secured Circus day at Stevensons Drug Store same price as at show

and June 10 when the Republican national con vention assembles in Cleveland Strassburger needs no introduction in Pennsylvania his home State where he owns a newspaper at Norris town has a fancy farm in manages a 'fortune of manx millions and dabbles a bit in politics But outside the Keystone State he needs some identification for the role in which he may appear In order that Washington corres pondents who may have cause to refer to him in coming months sliall have full information Strassburgev has just presented each of them with a massive 500 page volume profuse ly illustrated setting forth his gene alolugy and career rom it we glean: That Strassburger is descended from Johann Andreas Strassburger who sailed from Rotterdam for Phila delphia in 17 12 That ho is 41 years of age a graduate of the naval academy served a brief time in the diplomatic corps as a secretary in the Balkan States and in Japan but resigned from the service when Wil liam Jennings Bryan became secretary

Strassburger paid a vi lt to Washington lie had lunch eon at the 'White House And back again in Norristown he issued a state ment saying ho would support Coo lidge this year for re election Now the
