SAIGEON, as Auctioneer received inâ€" Clerk Clerk xâ€"83â€"3T xâ€"33â€"3T A cigarette carelessly tossed. nearâ€"a store of gasoline caused the blowingâ€" up of a yacht off Atlantic City, reâ€" sulting in the loss of at least five lives and the endangering of others. To the same cause is ascribed the burning of an Ontario summer hotel, with a property loss of $150,000, which inciâ€" dentally falls partly upon the people of Canada, as the structure was owned and operated by the Canadian Nationâ€" al Railways, and was about to open for a season which, judging by the adâ€" vance reservations, promised to be most remunerative. â€" Humanity learns all too slowly the elementary lessons of caution, despite the warnings and examples given by these and similar incidents and by the commendable proâ€" paganda represented â€" by such moveâ€" ments, as that which sponsored Safety Week. Public opinion, however, is gradually being aroused to the criminâ€" ality involved in thoughtlessness that results in death or destruction, and the time is coming when the familiar exâ€" cuses, "I didn‘t know" or "I didn‘t mean it," will not be accepted as grounds for exoneration. Leniency toâ€" ward the carelessness which imperils life and menaces the property of the whole people or of individuals is misâ€" placed. At last the fiveâ€"ring circus! _ For years reporters have used this figure of speech to describe the bigness of the Greatest Show on Earth. Now, for the first time in history patrons will actually find five rings when the greater Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey cireus of 1925 comes to Torâ€" onto, July 3rd. FIVE RING CIRCUS Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Enlarged to Accommodate : New Big Acts With the addition last winter of enough performing horses to bring the Big Show‘s total to three hundred and fifty, the problem presented to the Ringling Brothers was, "How handle five troupes of them in a single disâ€" play?" . The limits of the show grounds in many cities forbade lengthening the main tent. ~None of the stages could be spared. All were needed for the big collective groups of human actors. Then somebody suggested that though the "bigâ€"top" paraphernalia could not be cut down nor yet. "spread: ‘out," there was no reason why it should not be "built higher." That suggestion was worked out and now, in addition to the three dirtâ€"floored rings, two additional rings have been constructed. to fit over the tops of the steel structured stages. The hippodrome â€"track is utilized more than ever before. At one time it is completely circled by one hundred and fifty trained horses, each ridden by an expert, in an amazing ballet and "Fete iof the Garlands." . Again it is filled with glittering pageants, with splendid highâ€"school horses or remarkâ€" able thoroughbreds that give thrilling exhibitions of lofty hurdling and hazâ€" ardous highâ€"jumps, Though there are more than eight hundred men and women arenic stars on the mammoth program bf 1925 only a few of the most brilliant are preâ€" sented singly. . Instead they are preâ€" sented in imposing â€"ensemble.. These groups extend over the entire‘ length of the huge mainâ€"tentâ€"seven, nine, as many as eleven troupes in action at one time. In keeping with this plan of giving the spectators at the ends of the tent just as much "show" asg is enâ€" joyed by those nearer the center, five herds of elephants are now presented instead of three. A hundred clowns disâ€" tribute their caperings in all parts of the "bigâ€"top." CIGARETTE DROPPED â€"~FIVE LIVES ENDED This is the greatest innovation since the Ringling . Brothers started their superâ€"cireus policy by combining their own witth the Barnum & Bailey cireus. It has opened the way ‘not only for trained horse numbers in sets of fives but for other big, new displays.

All worked rapidly, cutting out, basting and runâ€" ning up on the machines. practical garments for. childrenâ€"and. grownâ€"ups. She gathered from the general converâ€" sation that a box was being filled durâ€" ing the summer months in order that it might be shipped and reach its desâ€" tination before the winter set in again. "In the old days we packed a box with all the old, castâ€"off clothing we could find, send it off somewhere, it didn‘t matter much where, and expectâ€" ed the poor missionaries to be grateâ€" ful for it. But one year a missionary‘s wife came here to tell about life away back in the lonely places on ‘the prairies. And before she got through telling us all she had to say we were ready to cover our faces and hide our heads, we were so ashamed. She told us about a bale she had received the previous winter. She had ‘three little children, ail of them needing warm clothing, and she did so long for a good boxful that year. When it came and she opened the box she sat down and cried, for it was filled with old party dresses and rubbish like. that, and magazines.. Thank goodness, that box did not come from this church, but it made us do a lot of thinking. Since then we have taken pains to {ind out beforehand where our yearly bale is going and what is most needed in that little parsonage. . We learn: all we can about the missionary and his family and we send much better boxes as a result This year we shall have some splendid clothing, all these fine warm things for the children, some good dresses for the minister‘s â€" wife and so many nice things that if â€"we could only get hold of a good warm overcoat for the minister himself this would be the best box ‘we have ever sent out. But that is hard to find, none of us are very well off, and we cannot afford to discard our clothing until it is too worn to pass on to anyâ€" boy else." § C "I believe I could get the overcoat," she said shyly, the colour mounting to her face as Mrs. Lewis looked up in surprise;®"I am sure I could get an old one of daddy‘s." "My dear, if you only: could; it would just put the finishing touch to this box." "Do you always know .just where the things you make are to be sent?" she asked of the woman beside her who handed her a thimble and spool of thread as sheâ€" took up the sleeve of a flannelette nightgown that lay on the table before her, and looked around for the necessary sewing im plements. "Bless your heart, we know where, all about the family who will wear them, how many children there are, their ages, how many are boys and how many are girls; in fact, we know all about them." A reminiscent smile ecrossed â€" Mrs. Lewis‘s face as she talked. Celia‘s face lighted with a sudden thought. s 3 e Aunt Kate was looking their way, watching with pleasure Celia‘s interest in what was going on around her, and she obeyed the girl‘s gesture and crossâ€" ed the room towards her. Celia whispered energetically. "Aunt Kate, I know daddy has sevâ€" eral coats hanging ‘up at home that he will never use again. Remember him speaking to Aunt Ruth about them before she left home. Shall I write and ask Pollie to send one at once, then it could go into the box." ( Seeing the girl‘s interest the good lady talked on cheerfully. 5 In her rapid, everyday speech the kindly little woman related many a moving incident brought to their atâ€" tention, the girl‘s rapt interest drawâ€" ing her. out in a most unwonted manner. "What do they do for books and magazines?" asked Celia. "That is one of the greatest needs, good books and papers that will keep them in touch with what is going on in the outside world, and help to eduâ€" cate their children; all over the distant prairies they are starving for them. In some districts they have travelling libraries but it is difficult to reach the isolated places â€" We slip a bundle inâ€" to each box: we send and they are read and reâ€"read until they fall to nieces." Celia sewed and listened.. The piles of work turned out by these industriâ€" ous needlewomen filled her with wonâ€" der and admiration. A deep. respect for these plainlyâ€"dressed, unassuming country women followed her recogniâ€" tion of their labours. That people SNEasaas "That would be splendid, if you are quite sure it would be all right." _ "There is no question of that, and even if they have been disposed of I know I could get one from the home of some of the girls I know in Toronâ€" to, I know I could." Mrs. Bowen was as eager as Celia herself, knowing as she did the reâ€" sources of the home in Toronto. She knew also that the house had been left in charge of somesof the servants one or more remaining on the premises during the absence of Mr. Bowen durâ€" ing the summer,. Mrs. Lewis looked at the girl with interest. & "It is good to have your opportuniâ€" ties, my dear. If you city people could only know thecomfort their castâ€"off clothing would giveâ€" to those Tess fortunate, I am sure they would not hesitate to make good use of it. Of course, we know that you have your own poor to look after, but in many a home there must be hanging clothing that is seldom worn and that would be of so â€"much usew to, other people, especially to those people livâ€" ing in the dreary little prairie parsonâ€" ages. In the most distantâ€" parishes they have very few comforts. The houses are bare and comfortless, very often without a rug or carpet to cover the cold floors. â€" That is why we make rag carpets," continued. Mrs. Lewis, pointing to a big roll of carpet that stood at one side of the room;" and they have so few pretty things, nothing but the gifts a bride takes with her when she first goes out to make a home for the missionary and to help him_ with his work. And that is the reason we choose the vyery prettiest stuff we can find when we buy the material to make up into clothing for them." y " .

Kelly would come for miles every week in the year, in heat or cold, rain or sunâ€" shine, to sew and provide necessities and comforts for people: whom they had never even seen, and probably never would see, and that they would do it so willingly, as simply as though ‘it were all part of the day‘s work, taught her a new meaning of the word "‘loving-kindness". There was plenty of fun and abounding cheerfulness in these ranchers‘ wives, who were practiâ€" cal and economical. in their own livyâ€" ing, â€" but | withal gave _ generously. Glancing from their own plain garâ€" ments to the substantial quality of the material on which â€"they were. hard. at work, it was borne in upon her conâ€" sciousness that here were indeed cheerâ€" ful givers, people willing to. do withâ€" out better clothing â€" themselves that they might have something worth while to bestow on others. Here were gifts selected with so much care and thought and offered . with so much lovingness that they must perforce.be received as they wereâ€"given,. : There could be no feeling of obligation. in accepting the contents of this missionâ€" ary box when it reached its destinaâ€" tion, nothing but pleasure and satisâ€" faction of a sister who opens up the gift of another who had taken thought for her comfort and pleasure. â€" Celia thought that she would never again grudge an afternoon‘s time for mis= sionary work at home; she would make of her work & real gift, not a condesâ€" cension. Bd "It is a hard life, Celia; your heart would ache if you read some of the letters written to the women‘s organizâ€" ations of the different churches. It is a wonder people do not die of sheer loneliness out there. , Yours is a good thought but are yow sure you ought to spend your money so. readily, You have spent a good deal since you came to us; do you really think you should do‘this as well?" "Yes, if you want it," said. Aunt Kate. "What are you going to do, Celita? You have been listening to Mrs Lewis all afternoon, I noticed. All that she says about life in the lonely places is true, but don‘t let your heart run away with your head, child." "I only wanted to send some good magazines out there. You need not be afraid, I have plenty of money to spend that way if I care; I am sure it wouldâ€"be bettersto saend: a little that way, Aunt Kate, than to use it all for my own fads and fancies. Just think of the long winter evenings out there with no books, nothing to do, and noâ€" where to go; however do they put in their time?" Celia laughed at Mrs. Bowen‘s perâ€" turbed tone. : "I don‘t believe you. know that I have as much money to spend on myâ€" self, on my clothes and amusements every year, as that missionary has to keep his family on, that much twice over,." Mr. Bowen turned to her in asâ€" tonishment. "Celia! â€" Do you mean that?" "I have indeed, Aunt Kate. You see, I have all my mother‘s money. in my own right. For the last two years daddy has allowed me to spend it as I pleased; he thought . I was old enough to learn how to spend. money. "I have never thought very. much about money," continued Celia, honâ€" estly; all the girls I know are quite wealthy, we buy just what we want within reason, of course, and I am beâ€" ginning to think we have been pretty selfish about it. When I go home I am going to get the girls together and tell them what L heard toâ€"day and see ifâ€"~we cannot turn in and help a litâ€" tle: So you see there is nothing to hinder me from subscribing for some good papers and. monthly magazines, and have them â€"sent out. to one of those little homes. . Youw must help me make out a list, Aunt Kate; they, will never know who sent them, and it will be something for them to look forward to every month, won‘t it? We will put some in for the kiddies, too, won‘t it be fun? @ io uo n h o e es o i e en ies S ons‘ She was very thoughtful as she strolled along under the treesâ€"with Aunt Kate when the meeting was brought to a close and they waited for Marion and Kathie to appear with the horse and buggy. f "Will you let me have the address of the woman to whom that box is going?" "Why this thusness?" asked Kathie, in mock solemnity, leaning over the side of the buggy and eyeing the pair with much curiosity. "Oh! here yon are at last." Celia serambled over the side of the buggy hastily. ; j Mrs. Lewis‘s graphic recital of the stories related by those in constant communication _ with _ people living those donely, humdrum dives in the new settlements of the west touched herâ€"keenly and, for the first time in her thoughtless young life, she realizâ€" ed something of the selfâ€"sacrifice and courage of those who lived for others. "Whatever kept you so long, girls? I have had such a nice afternoon, L never dreamed a sewing meeting could be so interesting. Wherever have you. two been all this time?" "How they missed us! Kathie turnâ€" ed to Marion, who giggled heartlessly. "We drove to their very feet and they did not even see us." ¢ "Whatever were you talking about ?"asked Marion "You and mother had: your heads together like a pair of conspirators." o ansan d As they drove homeward Celia reâ€" lated her afternoon‘s experiences, conâ€" fident of her cousins‘ interest and sympathy. For these Bowen girls were becoming fast friends and com= rades as the weeks went by, laying the foundation of a friendship that bade fair to last a lifetime. Aunt Kate was as merry as the young peoâ€" ple, Marion declaring that her mother was altogether too frivolous for the mother of five, and that some check must soon be placed upon her exuberâ€" ant spirits. _ 2 S "If you are good you shall hear all about it on the way home," and Celia dragged Marion into the back seat beâ€" side her while Aunt Kate settled comfortably beside _ her _ younger daughter. ‘ When Marion and Kathleen drove up and: reined in before the parish hall, â€"they found, their «mother aad Celia seated on the ‘steps, so deeply absorbed in conversation that they failed to hear them approach.
