guide, and that is enough to ruin
any mans digestion. Pa is near
sighted, and he wanted me to &C
along and show him things
Well, I never had SO much fur
since pa fell out of boat. First,
/ made him jump clear across the
aisle. there where the stuffed IL
gers are, by the fur place. ] told
him the keeper was just comm g
along with some meat to feed the
animals, and when they smelled
the meat they just clawed things.
He run against a show case, and
then wanted to go away. He
said he travelled with a circus
when he was young, and no one
knew the danger of fo0ling with
wild animals better than he did.
Well, you would died to see pa
there by the furniture place,
where they have got beautiful
beds aud chairs. Therelwas one

velvet, and sign over it telling
people to keep their hands off.
Pa asked me what the sign was,
and I told him it said ladies and
gentlemen are requested to sit in
the chairs and try them. Pa
climbed over the railing, and was
just going to sit down on the
glass show case over the chair,
when one of the walk-arOund fel-
lows with police hats took him
by the collar and yanked him
back over the railing, and was
going to kick pas pants. Pa was

exhibition, and pa wanted to go
away from there. He said ne
didn't know what they wanted
to exhibit lunatics for. We went
up stairs to the pancake bazaar,
where they broil pancakes out of
self-rising flour, and put butter
and sugar on them and give
them away. Pa said he could
eat mere pancakes than any man
out of jail, and wanted me to get
him some. I took a couple of
pancakes and tore out a piece of
the lining of my coat and put it
between the pancakes and hand
ed them TO pa with a paper
around the pancakes. Pa didn't
notice the paper nor the cloth,
and it would have made you
laugh to see him chew on them.
[ told him / guessed he didn't
have as good teeth as he used to-,
want any more. But / thought /
should split when pa wanted a
drink of water. / asked him if
he would druther have mineral

would take the strongest kind of
mineral water to wash down

where the fire extinguishers are
and got him to take the nozzle

think he got more than a quart
of the stuff out of the saleratus
machine down him but he rared
right up and said he'd be con-

should bust, and just then the
man who kicks the big organ
struck up. and the building shook

she looks just as natural as if she
could breathe. She has a hand
kerchief in her hand, and as we
came along ] told pa there was a
lady who seemed to know him.
Pa is on the mash hisself, and he
looked at her and smiled and
said good evening and asked me
who she was. I told him it look
