The Small Boy and the Circus.

lfttsOurS CnrOnlcIel
The occasional accidents to circus riders
reassure the small boy. This is a skep-
teal age and he is soon divorced from
Kriss Kingle He gets ominous whispers
that Tell and the feat of Shooting the
apple are myths. He is not allowed to
surrender himself to fairy tales and robber
stories. At last, some cold blooded person
sneers at one the hero left him-:the circus
rider, who goes around the ring on the
caparisoned steed amidst resOunding
music and the jibes of the clown He
hears that there is no danger in it, aud
that the horses are only making believe
that they go fast; that really it is tame
affair The small boy is disheartened
until he reads in some paper of bare
back rider breaking his neck, and he then
returns to his old faith, and the huge tent
and sawdust- circle become enchanted
places.
1t is so important that few credulous
small boys should survive in this coun
try, that it is perfectly proper for at least
one circus rider to break his neck in
season, and the press Is warranted in a
little felicitation when the event occurs.
Plenty OF circus riders can be found, but
there is danger of the race of credulous
small boys becoming extinct, and that is
q calamity that must be prevented how
ever many circus fellows are sacrificed
Buffalo Bill is doing missionary work
amongst the young generation, but the
small intideIs are beginning even to ques-
ton his saVages and the other blood curd-
ling features of his moral show. The
last hope is really in the circus.
