While We were boxing at the cic-
phants a man brought table and
camp chair into the tent Then he
took several razors and brushes from
g grip, along with cups and soap. He
was the circus barber. lie stood at
that chair for ten hours and shaved
men like he was machine. When
night came every man that wanted q
shave had been accommodated.
just before sun down Mr.. Jordan
and his army of helpers took the me-

canvas. This was done so that in
case of storm or fire during the night

and his business is to get the parade
in order Soon after hc arrived the
covers were taken from the wagons
and Il uniform for each driver was
placed on top Of them. The horses
were made ready, and then came
buglc call for every man, woman and
child to be in position.
A big elephant pushed some of the
