The Irish Dea0ants and the Virginia

finest, and either Of them could give lessons

FUN AT THE CIRCUS.
| By-the-by, isn't it time that the circus
was coming to your town. II It is, hope
! you are going to let all the boys go aud
really enjoy themselves. | once heard OF a
/ boy who mad never been TO a circus and it
| did seem 20 me as If he had lost some Of his
| childhood, The average boy feels that he
Is seeing life when he starts to the circus
with % cents In his pocket. and
the opportunity before him of separating
| himself in the crowd at the door from his
| family and friends. The money Is
Immediately spent in peanuts and apples,
| and If that boy is let alone he will
| have blissful time. He will worry the
| monkeys, he will pander to the taste OF the
| ELEPHANT by letting him gulp down apples
whole, be will hang over the ring watching
the trsined dogs and explaining to a boy
| year younger than he is all about il. He
| never thinks much OF the women who ride
in chariots; he tits up his nose and says:
20! they are only girls" But for the

bushes as he thinks how lovely it would
be to have her for his very own,
and to cavort through life on two
steeds, jumping through paper hoops for
rest, and receiving the applause Of de-
| lighted multitude. That the young lady
might object to his size, his years and his
freckles, and that she could be married to
the clown, is something quite beyond his
belief. He sees everything there is to see,
and when some detachment OF his discon-
solate family RECEIVERS him, and asks why he
was such bad boy as to make them think
he was lost, he says: 80, get outl A fellow
of my size can look after himself" And
he haughtily refuses to tell where he has
been.
YOUNG PEOPLE IN WONDERLAND.
There is no doubt about the circus; II is
the only absolute JOY forever. 1t makes the
| old young, and 10 gives the young fore
taste OF such happiness as is seldom gotten.
| Personally, think any mother or father
who keeps child away from the circus de-
serves to be put In the penitentiary. | don't
say anything about the theater or anybody
| Directing to that, for there is such a lot Of
bad acting. But the circus-well-th things
come and 20, but the circus Is always the
same, The lemonade may be weaker but
the lions are just as strong. The pea
nuts may be browner, but the elephants
tail never grows. The apples may
be just as small, but the monkeys look
as old as they did at the beginning OF the
world. The politics of the President OF the
United States may have changed, but the
dignity of the ring master is as fine as ever.
| would much sooner my boy knew nothing
about Adam and Eve than have him ignor-
ant of the elephants. | would not care
whether he knew the alphabet IL he could
teach tricks to dogs. Learning doesn't
amount to much; one gets it eventually, and
there is joy that comes In going to the cir
Gus that makes you feel, especially If you
are boy, that you know everything.
WHAT YOU CAN TELL.
You can tell the German butcher the hiss
tory Of St. Patrick, or the origin OF the ele-
plant.
You can tell the Swiss baker about home
rule, or what the mosquito wore when he
went into the ark.
You can tell the French oonfectioner
about the Blarney stone, or how they catch
lions.
You can tell the Italian organ-grinder
about the shamrock, or how they import the
| giraffe.
You can tell the Chinese laundryman
| about irish whisky, or the habits of the
monkey.
And you can tell the American ice man
but no, you can tell him nothing-he
knows it all, for way back somewhere he
has got drop of Irish blood, and he was
once boy himself. At least, that is what
think, and while in favor of the Irish and
the circus, am an American citizen named
Bah.
