circus placards. Now the boys are busy
studying out the various inscriptions on
the different bills and describing the va

stole grapes-even sour ones. These boys
are of that class who would much rather
invest their expenses in ginger bread and
lemonade and then crawl under the canvas

scrip will be found to take the family to
the circus even if they are now living on
