For they practice all day with zest
| envy my deaf neighbor
Whenever they belabor
That old piano that never knows +;

Early every morning,
just as day is dawning,
| compose myself for final ..doze;
Upon the air doth fall,
That ear-splitting squall,
Banishing forever all thoughts of re.
pose.
Then with flrnd-like delight,
Till quite late at night,
They chatter the ivory and yell.''
From the noise which they raise
10 judge if they praise
The devil Or angels no one can tell.
Good Lord deliver us!
Girls, why treat me thus? :
Please give my aching years a rest;
| cannot sleep wink,
Nor read, nor write, nor think,
Only listen to the racket | detest.
| Can only clasp my head
That noise would wake the dead,
And rouse forevermore "the sleepers
seyen."
I vow I'd rather 60
Straightway to realms below
Ii angels sang ever thus in heaven.

BY request Of several subscri-
bers we give again the remedy for
drunkenness which we gave two or
three years ago. Pulverize one
pound of fresh quill-red Peruvian
bark and soak it in one pint of dilu-
ted alcohol. Strain and evaporate
down to one-half pint. For the first
and second days give a teaspoonful
every three hours. If too much is
taken headache will result, and in
that case the doses should be dimin
ished. On the third day give one
half a teaspoonful; on the fourth re-
duce the dose to fifteen drops, then
to ten and then to Eve. Seven days
it is said will cure average cases,
though some require whole mouth.
This is DR.. Unger's cure.

BILLY ANDREWS TELLS HOW THE CIR
Gus FOOL RECEIVES HIS
EDUCATION.


tors are born, not made. 1t isn't
that way with clowns. They make
clowns, and | never knew one that
was born that way,' said little Billy
Andrews, the aesthetic jester of Me-
yer's Shorb's United States Cir
Gus. Billy had been in reflective
mood and the burden of his thoughts
was evidently the profession OF
which he is a very distinguished
member.
Chow do they make 'em, BillyY'
the writer asked.
'That depends upon what kind OF
a clown he is. A Johnny Newcom-
err OF a clown, as we call some of the
fresh fellows, just hops into the ring
and gets everything down fine in a
minute-in his mind. But a clown
that is clown serves an apprentice
ship. Generally it is just as it hap
pens whether boy is developed into
clown or not. To become a circus
performer one must begin young
Now, to be thorough clown man
must be good general performer.
He must understand and be able to
perform properly all the tricks that
he makes funny failures of before an
audience. If he didn't, sometimes
when he attempted to be funny he'd
just leave his situation vacant and
fit himself to do statue act in hos
.pital. That's the reason it is neces-
sary for a clown to begin his training
early in life.''
ut is customary, then, to take
clown apprentices in the circusses2"
"No, that is just as it happens, as
l have said. A boy is, never taken
as an apprentice clown. Every show
has several boys training for per-
formers. Whenever it happens that
one of these boys displays any abili-
ty as a mimic, they put him down
for a clown, and then clown is
made, whether he wants to be or
not"
"There is popular suspicion that
the profession have some means of
preserving through all ages the good
old stories, and bearded jokes of the
clowns; how is that?''
Snow, maybe you imagine that is
a great gag, but it isn't. The jokes
and stories Of the clowns are not
kept on ice, whatever smart newspa-
pers may think. A good many Of
the funny stories in the papers are
old enough to wear whiskers and
many of them were coined in the
ring. What the methods of other
clowns are / don't know, but as fol-

around.

'Then there ulster be lots of en-"
inquired the stranger.
Pm most afraid To tell We, mister,
but I've counted l0alligators to tho
mile from Vicksburg clear down to
New Orleans. That was some years
ago, before shot was ever fred at
them"
"Well, l don't doubt it," replied
the stranger.
"And I've counted 1850 Of 'em. on
one sand bar" continued the pilot.

said the passenger as he heaved
sigh.
m glad OF that, stranger; some
fellows would think Pm liar when
I'm telling the truth. This used 10
be paradise for alligators, and they
were so thick that the wheels of the
boat killed an average of 40 to the
mile!'
SIS that sop
"True as gospel! / used to feel
sorry for the cussed brutcs, because

said, and we hurt a pile more. I

Solemn truth, stranger! And.
once when we grounded on a bar
with au opposition boat right be-

got right under the stern, and Jump

push! It looks like big story, but

his left ear with mud, as badge of
mournin', and lots of 'em pinned and

The passenger left the room with
the remark that he didn't doubt the
statement, and the old man gave the
wheel turn and replied:
