MOONLIGHT FROM ZIP. N. ALL NIGHT

red and white; his vest blue, with big
white stars all over it. The skirts oil
his antique swallow-tsiled coat raked
the ground. He did look so funny,
and his hair was long as a woman's,
aud hung down on his shoulders. You
would see him going all around the
amphitheatre, with a basket of pop
corn. That fellow made more fun, and
more money, than any one that l saw.
While sat looking l saw two young
men dressed is scarlet tights climb up
on a tall ladder to trapese and turn
semersaults; then dive into tank OF
water. After they had made two or
three dives one was drawn to the top
of a mast sixty feet high. When he
reached the top he stood up. and as he
stood as straight as an arrow he made
fine-looking statue. After standing
for few minutes he bowed to the au-
dience and sprang out into the open
air, making two somersaults, and down
into the tank of water. l tell you ii
made one hold his breath. to see it.
When he came to the tank he climb
ed out and left the arena.
After that part was over came the
fast horses. But thought, and told
Charley when be came back to me, /
did not think much of the horse show.
It was not to be compared to the
horses in the fifties. No, sir, I did
not see any such horse shows, or fast
horses, as We had in the old time races.
We don't have any such horses now.
As felt tired l said, ''let's go home;''
and such jam as were in the cars as
we left Hundreds were in a hurry to
get to the cars to 60 home. So anoth-
er day ended. T. P. K.

After looking at the sheep and hogs,
we went to see the farm machinery,
wagons and carriages. We saw al
one place a grain drill, made small, all
silvered over. To it was hitched a
pair of the smallest ponies | ever saw
not much bigger than a Newfound-
land dog. The driver was an oldish
man, with a mustache. He was not
more than three feet tall, and wore a
suit of black, old-style skirted coat,
and a silk hat. As he rode the drill
and drove the ponies, ] could not help
thinking of boys playing.
By the time We had seen all the ma
chiuery and wagons, buggies, hay
presses, corn-planters, eorn-huskers,
feed-cutters, hay-rakes and such
things, felt as though I would like to
see what was in that box Charley had
been carrying all the time. Sc we

as none but loving daughter and wife
could put up for hungry men. Ham
sandwiches, cake, chicken, grapes,
pears etc., aud it did taste good. As
