LIFE WITH THE CIRCUS.
Incidents Attending the visit to Laun-
dry of a High Collar.


Walking along the streets one day
in a town where we We're showing"
said retired circus man, 1.-THE old man
saw in laundry window sign reading
Collars and 'cnffs cents
" DO you take any kind Of collars at
that price?' he asked the laundryman
"'Yos; oh, yes, said tho laundryman.
Everything goes here.
"We had giraffe at the time That
we used to dress up for the evening
parade in a sort Of dude costume with
high collar reaching from its shoul-
ders up to under its head The old man
got one Of the giraffe's collars and had
it sent down TO the laundry to be done
up. When he laundryman opened the
bundle and spread it out ON the counter,
he says, What's this?' and the man
that had brought it down said that it
was one of the giraffe's collars,
"'By goshl That's so, said the
laundryman, just as though giraffe's
collars used to be common item of the
wash in his laundry, but he hadn't had
very many come in lately and they'd
kind o. escaped his mind
Five o'clock, he said when the
man asked when it would be ready, and
at o'clock the man found it waiting
for him done mp in a roll about as big
as a stovepipe.
How much? he asked.
""THS cents , said the iaundryman,
and he swept the 3 cents off the counter
into the drawer without turning hair.
He was game plumb through. But
the old man was no chump He sent
the laundryman dollar, which was
about what the work was worth, and a
couple of complimentary tickets. That
night the laundryman came to the cir
Gus. He was just as cool as ever, but
you could see that he was pleased, easy
enough when he saw the giraffe come
out wearing the collar that had been
done up in his laundry. New York
