He Paid for Gallantry.

John Wilson. of CastrOville. is among
the natives telling story of imposition
at the circus in san Antonio. He came
10 the city TO take in the circus and
brought two ladies with him. The
party went there, paid their admission
fee and passed to the reserved seats.
When seated in the top row, one OF the
ladies dropped her shawl between the
large crevise in the boards, and John
calamity went for the shawl. He got
through all right, dropped to the ground,
and recovered the shawl, but could not
get back again although several tried 10
hoist him up to his seat. Then he went
round in search OF egress until he was
stopped by one OF the circus watchers,
who took bin for canvass jumper, i e.
one no sueaks into the show through
the canvass without paving. He ex-
planned his case ut the man wouldn't
believe him. The more vehement he
got, the more he disbeIieved him, and in
the end he had to pay again before he
could join the ladies. He thinks now
that all cirCuses are swindles.
