IS A new sorrow has been added tc
childhood. 1t befell party OF Eng

They had seen the main performance,
and. like many children in all lands,
ionged with great longing for a
glimts. of the side shows. By dint of
coaxing nurse, and scrapeing togeth, r
all the small money of their pockets,
t.aey were allie at last to buy their way
Le, ond the goal of their ambition, the
entrance to The tent
In great joy and bewilderInent they
rushed past the taker of tic@ets. What
to look at first-that was the question.
One beckoned in one direction, another
in the opposite, and complete demorali-
cation seemed probable, until a child
who had been spelling out sign not
far away cried: &C me alnng-tIlis way
- have it-best of ALL and the troop
followed at his hurrying heels When
