Last year Ringling Brothers' World's Greatest Shows was thought to have reached the climax of size and tive genius, but this season's display proves this idea to have been fallacious. Not only are there a greater number of imported ring features, and startling home creations, including the spectacular production of Jerusalem the Crusades, but all the other departments of the show life-the menagerie, aquarium and horse fair-. have been enlarged nearly double.

Two giraffes, supposed to be the last of their race, the only rhinoceros in captivity, a real baby elephant, no higher than its mother's knee, and taking nourishment like a human infant, and a seemingly incredible herd of forty elephants, are exclusive features in this remarkable zoological collection. This baby elephant is the first ever bred, born and successfully reared in America. It is a sight of a life time, an object of the keenest scientific study as well as popular delight. The model horse of aristocratic lineage and perfect symmetry is shown with Ringling Brothers' marvelous exhibias seen nowhere else in the world. These horses not only have rare beauty of form, but they exhibit amazing intelligence, and in their graceful and difficult exercises present a feature of indescribable attraction.

Saturday, April 2 is the day fixed for the exhibition of the Ringling Brothers World's Greatest Shows in Decatur. Readers of this paper are familiar with the magnitude and high character of this famous show. No circus has ever reached the public heart like this one. Other exhibitions come and go, but the impression they make is short lived. while the memory of the great Ringling Brothers shows is a lingering pleasure, and makes their return warmly welcome.

Circus ideas that whet public curiosity generally originate with this great enterprise, and whenever copied by other shows never create the same interest or sensation. The reason is not far to seek. The Ringling Brothers not only expend extravagant sums of money get the truly novel in arenic features, but they insist upon securing the ablest known performers to interpret these acts. Each season presents a program of surprising freshness and enjoyment. Everything goes along with the myriad and bewildering bill is finished before the slightest tinge of unrest is felt.

Acts follow each other without the slightest delay, and the delicate heavy properties are arranged without friction or notice. The theater stage manager is made to appear a mnch overrated and puffed-up person after, witnessing the masterly manner in which the immense program of the great Ringling Brothers great shows is handled. This circus is the standard of the world, more than twice as big as any other, and must be copied by all that seek success. LARGEST ON EARTH. Ringling, on Brothers' Saturday, Great April Circus 23.

FIRST SPRING "POME." Charlie Bliss Echoes the Longing of All Mankind. I long for gentle spring time and breezes soft and meller, I long to hear the bull frog and listen to his beller.

I long to see the daisies peep from the mossy glen, I to see the chickens play around the mother hen. I want to go a fishing and spit upon the bait, and stretch out in the sunshine on the creek bank while I wait. I long to see the red buds with scarlet banners hung and smell the fragrant blue bells, while the robins feed their young. I want to pick sweet williams and make whistles for the kids, and help them in the sand bank make their caves and pyramids. I want help them make a swing and see the youngsters climb, and taste the joy that harbingers the good old summer time.

On the second day of April was celebrated the 161st anniversary of Thomas Jefferson. Thomas, or Tommy, as he was familiarly called, was not here to receive congratulations for he is dead already. Tom was born on the second day of April, 1743, and it is claimed that he never regretted the incident. His father's name was Pete and his mother's name was Jane. Little did Pete think when he first saw Tommy on the morning of April 2, 1743, that the boy would grow up to write the Declaration of Independence and marry a widow with 40,000 acres of land and 135 niggers.

But Tommy did, and never had to milk or split the kindling after that. Tommy prided himself on being one of the common people and refused to associate with the aristocracy. When a mere boy he was sent to the William Mary college and he showed his "contempt for the sovereigns of England, after whom the institution was named. by calling it the Bill and Mollie college. Even after he elected president of the United States Mr.

Jefferson used to eat pie with a knife and pour his coffee into a saucer and blow it to show that he was a true proletariat and was not stuck up. The man who ran for township clerk and got it in the neck wit homeward creep with leaden step, a sad and mournful wreck.

The Illinois Manufacturers' Associa- tion is arranging for a general meeting of manufacturers and shippers in all the territory covered by the official classification with a view of protesting, against the new bill of lading which the official classification purposes to put into effect on October 1.

It appears that under cover of a uniform bill of lading the railroads purpose to make the snipper pay for protection against loss or damage to his goods. Heretofore railroads have been held responsible and have paid for all losses but under the new rule if a shipper desires a guaranty by which the railread assumes liability he will be compelled to pay a premium of 20 per cent of the tariff rate. The association has procured an opinion from a prominent lawyer that such a charge would be illegal and contrary to the provisions of the Elkins law.

A lady who lives in the National Capitol differed from her physician on the coffee but got the worst of it which she tells all about as follows: "I was what you would call a 'coffee inebriate' and when Postum was recommended to me by my physician I felt I would rather die than give up my coffee. I continued drinking until I shook like one affected with palsy and my heart at time almost ceased to beat while my complexion was almost the color of the coffee.

"But finally coffee did drive the doctor's argument home and I realized I must quit although I felt very badly at the idea of having to give it up. "I began by making the Postum just as directions called for on the box and before the week was ended I began to feel the effects of the wholesome drink. You will hardly believe months when I tell you that inside of four I 1 gained 30 pounds, my complexion cleared, my trembling and nervousness is all gone and my heart is as good as new. I have had to admit at last that it was coffee that was at the bottom of the whole trouble which Postum cured most effectively. "So I used Postum for nearly 6 years but a few months ago I started out as a traveling saleswoman and at some of the hotels I found no Postum sO I would order coffee thinking that an occasional cup would do me no harm but the first I noticed the old trembling pain coming back, my heart troubled me as of old and now it is settled once and for all that coffee is not for me.

If it happens I cannot get Postum I drink water but whenever possible you may be sure I will have my postelicious Postum." Name given cup, Battle Creek, Mich. Don't wait until Nature drives her arguments against coffee home. It's easy to shift to Postum and the change works wonders for health. "There's a reason. Look in each pkg.

A MORNING DVERTISE IN HERALD "THE BARGAIN COLUMN LAW IS DISPUTED. Question of Separate Ballots Also Engaging Attention at Bloomington The question of separate ballots for propositions to be voted on at city elections is engaging attention elsewhere. At Bloomington the matter of annexing land will be voted on and the people are very much interested. It was claimed there that a separate ballot would be necessary. The Pantagraph of Friday contained the following on the subject: "Capt.

J. H. Rowell said yesterday that the law cited by County Clerk Carlock in regard to the necessity for printing on separate ballot a question of public policy to be voted upon by the people, does not apply to such a matter as the annexation of a piece of land to the city. In this case, the question must be voted on the same ballot as the general election ticket and not otherwise. Capt.

Rowell further states his opinion that the referendum statue, which was cited by the county clerk. is itself a great piece of buncombe and is of as little practical utility as almost any piece of legislation ever spread upon the statute books of Illinois."
