Deborah was a helper be- fore she was a queen—wa(sina,de a queen because she hid. been a helper. We first .met her as a "prophetess" instructor ofthe people, 'one who spoke to the people the words of God. Israel on leaving the desert had at first been triumphant. ,Jar - clan had been passed.; Jericho had been stormed; Ai had been taken; the sun of prosperity had refused to go down on the hour te of her pros- penity. It was a brilliant, glorious time—that nation's morning! But the noonday was disastrous. She be- came enamored of her enemies—of their idolatry, of their sin. WP learn from Deborah's song (chapter 5) the nature of the otppression they were subjected to by Sierra, captain of the troops of the King of Canaan. Deborah says that under these dia• tressing condition,s there rose up within her a sense of motherhood. She had no children of her own but she became "a mother in Israel," "Every sore of Israel is my pon, every daugh- ter of Israel is my daughter. I bleed with them, I weep with them, I rend my soul with them.", It is at this stage Deborah asks the •aid of a man. She does not want to go down to posterity as a fighting woman. The man she calls to raise a hand against Sisera is Barak, whose name was perhaps a.ssoeiated with some deed of provvese. He comes; and in the picture they stand side by side. The. contrast is magnifie2nt. The .;veman 'sits under the palm -tree dauntless majesty; the man awaits her orders, trembling' in every lirnb. The woman is strong in the hope of the Lord; the man is weak througn the dread of ,Sisera. '• The woman cries, "Lead out your band and strike the oppressor down!" The man with palpitating, heart answers, "I cannot go alone, you mustcome with me!" The woman says, "Wid you allow a female toget the credit of your 'Rev.

His secretary for ten ;veers completed the volume and it is from it that the following 'condensa- tion of the life of D'elboatth is made: Unique on the canvas of the Bible Gallery stands out the figure of Deb- orah.

Other females have reigned lbelsid'ee Delherah—lbut not by the suffrages of the people. jezebel reigned, Athaliah reigned, but their empire was regarded with hatred by the community. Even pop- ular sovereigns like Elizabeth of Eng- land 'ha,vie in the first instance been 'indebted to their descent from the existing royal line. But Deborah had no royal lineage. She was the wife of an obscure roan. 'sae was the head of a humble household unknown to the people of Israel. Deborah was 'encumbered with domestic duties; and the seekers of a ruler might well have passed her by. But they did not. They chose her in an age when mein might have been supposed to 'rave selected physical giants—an age of irons. an age of cruelty. They 'She Was Grateful er Life St. $00.

On the banks of the Kishon the Israelites fight for their roothee Desborah—they fight and they Win. Sisera was slain by the. hand- of an- other womeru and Deborah in her song eulogizes his assassin not be- cause her 'heart has lost its womanli- ness but because he was the one who had made the day as terrible as the night.

'tingling, the last of the Ringling brothers, retired from theemanagentent of the circus last autumn. the aippointiment of 'Samuel W. Gamperte to succeed him, 'as director of the greatest show on earth was a foregone conclusion. Gumpertz qualifies for hie new post not only because he has been in the amusement .business for more than half a century, having built Dream- land Park in Coney Island and be- come unofficial Sovereign of the Is- land, but because of his long and in- timate association with the IRinglings.

' Once, in order to import a tiny French' lady -for -his- \Coney 1st land show, he went to court and made her his ,adepted daughter. All told, he has imported a total of 3,800 start- ling human bein,gs. IThe new (boss of the big show is credited with . a unique power 'of predicting the average; circus fan's response to any new circus act, and this power 4s based on the fact that he is, after all these years, an in fatuated circus .fan himself. Fbr in- stance, he is to -day Am'erica' 's fore- most sucker for a good shelland-pea man. -.Once in Bagdad in search of such a performer, Gumpertz found end signed up Mehemet, a dazzling sleight-of-hand -genius_ who. used half cocoanuts for shells and a golf bell for a pea. The Coney. Island mag- nate used to bet all day long egainst his imported fakir, He lost thousands of nickels and dimleis and nearly lost his reason trying to 'guess' which shell covered the pea, but never once did he win a bet ,against •Mehemet. Gumpertz not only loves the show business but he does his thinking in circus. images. When he wanted to raze -17 bungalows at Coney Island to make way for an apartment -'house development, he used seven elephants to buttthem over and drag them a- way. When he gives large parties to his friend's, he has plePhante hand out the bills a fare and hot buns. For menlY years, he has gene into winter quarters at Sarasota whert the Rin•gling 'circus went into winter quarters there. In addition to the enthusiasm of a eircus:arazy young- ster and to 50 years of show experi- enee, (Gumpertz has an in,valuable dash and decisiveness, as was (Millen- strated when Dreamland Park was destroyed by fire in 1911. Dream- land was burned on May 12; on May 13 'Gumpertz opened a congress ef• freaks on the site, the caneasmen complaining of hot feet as they erect- ed the tent for the n,ew, enterprise. Preventing Pig Losses . . One of the common ceases of ,disath 'among sucking pigs is nutri- tional anaemia. The critical period. is 'between two and four week a of age. 'During this period and until weaning, the sucking pig must have access to some source M iron in addi- tion to the mother's Milk. Professor Knox, O.A.C., says the Swine. Divi- sion of the Deroindon Department of Agriculture,- states that one of the simplest means of previentien of Mae is to place sods, one° foot square in size, which have been treated with a solution of ferric sulpha* in a small pen; one sod for ,each .Pig each week. o This sulphate can be sprinkled on the sod with an ordinary watering can, and the strength of the solution should be one teaspoonful of ferrie. sulphate to one quart of water per sod. It is wiise to secure sods from areas where pigs have not frequent- ed for at least one year, in order to prevent possible parasitic infection. ,A store; is told of Noel Coward and Lady Diana Manners, who met at a dinner party in England at 'a time who they entertained no _great lik- ing for each other.

It was his intention to epend the rest of his life there, but his plans were altered by a 'visit of Buffalo Bill's show to Abilene. The circus fever flared up again. Gumpertz was proud of being a cowboy; he could ride, shoot and •handle the lariat as well as the best of Buffalo Bill's -men, but he cheerfully declassed himself by becoming a caealy butcher in or- der to be allowed to travel with the show. Later he performed in the ring as a imlember of Buffalo Bill's famous 'Clengresei of Rough Riders of 'All Nations. For several years he worked in, the 'summer for Buffalo Bill and in the winter for Colonel JohnD. •49..RkinssaVilteran a circuit Of theaters. Ile managed the tours of several 'wrestlers, among them that of Hughey Leonard, middleweight wrestling champion, who 'finally had 'his shoulders pined to the mat by an obscure youngster named Bernarr IM,acfadden. ;By arrangement with Thomas A. Edison he exhibited in Missouri the first of Edison's •commercial ,movies. This was in 1897. One of the films was an early newsreel entitled "The Coronation of the Czar.", It had fal- len flat on !Missouri audiences. Gump- ertz had an inspiration. The cele- brated Bradley Martin ba11 had just been held at the Waldorf Astoria in New York. It was the biggest and gaudiest affair of its kind, held in the Midst of a...depression, and had attracted nation-wide attention. So Gumpertz changed the title of the movie to "The Great Bradley Martin Ball." Under ,the new title the film was a smashing success. Gumpertz raised the price, of admission from 25 to 75 cents and broke all records by playing the film, to crowded houses fora week. To -day Gumpertz is a preacher of truth in advertising, even circus ad- vertising, 'He has always prohibited barking at shows at 'Coney Island and elsewhere 'because he thinks barkers exaggerate. He has quar- reled with circus artists because he believes they:let overemphasis creep into their billposters. But 36 years ago he was young and in need of caSh. In St. Louis, with another flash of the Barnum instinct, Gumpertz took one of his oibseure employees and tam& him nationally famous. This was Harry Ifoulini, a • struggling young clime -museum attraction. Gum- pertz induced the Chief of Pollee, •who was his friend, to lock Houdini 'hake•d in a cell. In seven minutes, Houdini was out. The Associated Press told the world about it and Houdini was a great star from that time until his 'death. ' ' In 1902 Gump,ertz was summoned ;Gumpertz' first experience in tights and s.p.angles, when he was nine years old, was as a "to,pmeunter"—the boy who poses on the top of a human pyramid and returns to the ground by two back •somereaults. But one day he landed on his head. The fall nearly killed him and completely shattered his nerve. He was never able to attempt acrobatics again. The accident was due. he says to reek- lessn,eas and over -confidence, and the lesson went far toward curing him: of those weaknesses. Another lesson of his youth came when he was 15- 'and •working on s, cattle ranch near Abilene, Texas. On his first night in the cowibby camp, Gu(meertz was told to bring a pail of water from a creek about 300 yards away. The lad said be was sick. The cowboys correctly diagnosed his trou- ble as fear of coyotes, carried him half a mile faxen the camp, tied his hands and feet to stakes % built a ;bon- fire to attract all the coyotes for Miles, and left him. The coyotes as- sembled in battalions, uttering the howls that disorganize the souls ef tenderfeet. Young Sam expected' to be eaten. He doubted the report that coyotes would not dine on living things, and anyway, even if, it were true 'he expected to \humor their diet- ary whims by 'breathing his last ust any nuintite. Howling, they moved u closer as the lire burned low, not trotting away until dawn, just before the boy was released, That night the foreman sent him for another pail of water, The coy- otee were still howling and Gumpertz whistled to keep up his courage on the way to ill* creek and back. "Get another pail," commanded the fere- man,, "and if you whistle, wen' stake you rout again." Like many another hero, the boy was terrorized into be- ing 'briev'e. He got the next pail without whistling. The sheWman re- A?, to New York to construct Dreamland Park at Coney Island. Since then be has built tides and imported nations - To put it more precisely he played ars important part in transforming Long Beach and Brighton Beach from bar- ren sand spits to thickly settled. com- munities, and he has superintended the •migration .of entire African and Asiatic tribes to Coney Island. His, importation•of 212 BantOk head •hunt- ters at one time was the largest mi- gration of sideshow people in his -- tory. The Eden Musee went bankrupt in. 1916. Gumpertz bought it and added it to his Com y Island attractions. Un- der his virile direction, waxwork be- came a form, of journalism; big mur- ders were presented accurately. sunt-; ptuously, and, promptly.As a slam 'men, Gumpertz knew that the people loved morbidnesaa as a philoeophers he believed that it was good for them.. He asserts that notorious gunmen" have, after anntemplating the Sny- der -Gray execution scene, beceme use- ful citizens. The sermons in wax. have reformed killers, but net klepta omlaniats; two six-inch cannonballs from the 'battlefield of Waterloo were - pilfered from • the Eden Musee a couple of years ago. For 80 years the Coney Island shows have been Giumpertz' chief aniu‘sem'ents in life. He is also tient- of the ,Coney Island Board of trade and has been the leader- of most of the big movements, like the fight to make barkers shut up or telt the truth about their attractions, the fight to change the name of hot dogs to frankfurters, the crusade of bath- hoese proprietors against the indec- ency 'of putting on bathing suits int automobiles., and the campaign a- gainst the "bloW-off" or double price of admission. For nearly 25 years Gumpertz has had his heart set on importing a tribe, of pygmies from. Africa. • But all the pygmy chiefs who have lieen ap- proached •thus far, insist that their constituents would not like America.. According to Gumpertz, no real pyg- my has ever bean exhibited on this continent. It is his belief that the, two small blacks who toured the coun- try with Barnuni long agO were not genuine pygmies. The pygmies .have- not been Gumpertz' only 'di,sappoint- men.ts. He travelled extensively in Egypt, for instance, in search of two. tailors who were reported to have only one pair of legs between them, but 'he became convinced that they were a Myth. He went to 'Java to, inveatigate glowing reports of 'gretvrs together people,' roughly known as Siamese twins, but he returned with only a midget. He has made scores of trips' for ten -foot giants who turn- ed out to be six foot eight, and for 18 -inch midgets who turned out to be three feet tall.
