For one who delights in the study OF
human nature in all its Kaleidoscope
phases, it would be difficult to find a
better vantage point than is afforded
one who stands at the entrance OF the
big tent, and watches the crowds that
swirl in ever-changing eddies into the
great enclosure. Last night, repor-
ter stood there; near the ticket booth
presided over by Prof Clark, pursuing
his favorite study.
Hundreds trooped by him, each SEEM
ing to bear upon his countenance
truthful epitome of his life's history.
The school girl tripped by with elastic
step and bright eyes, and her face
wreathed in happy smile that pro-
claimed as though penciled there in
golden letters that her young life was
as yet untouched by sin or sorrow, and
that the future, to her vision, was one
long vista of golden possibilities. The
matron, leading her little ones by the
hard, passed by, her thoughts, eviden-
thy concerned with the happiness of
her charges. Her heart was full of
the peace that comes of life of ievo-
tion to others. Young men crowded
in fearful lest they should miss some
of the good things on the inside. How
easy to pick out from among them
those swho would drift along with
the curren6 and ultimately fail, from
those upon whose brows the good in
fuences of home, the unborn tendency
to aspire and the practice of temper
ate habits had stamped the word'suc-
cess" So the reporter unused, when
his attention was suddenly attracted
by conversation between Prof. Clark
and rather weakly looking man who
leaned heavily upon the counter of the
ticket stand.
The reporter recognized him as Sim
Travers, who lived at 126 North Tope-
ka avenue, and who, but few weeks
ago, was given up by the resident doc
tors to die. Approaching nearer, the
following conversation was heard:
"Well, Travers," said Prof. Clark in
kindly tone, chow do you feel to-
night?"

cided to visit the show, and am glad
that l came. 1t hardly seems possible

"Why, the doctors had told that l
had an abcess on my brain and would
not be alivein the morning. They said
it was unnecessary to trephine the
the skull, but that they.could not op'
crate for several days until the abcess
had become more fully developed and
could be located. Wonder what good
they thought it would do to trephine
dead mans skull? Well, DR., Keith
afterwards told me that there was not
the least sign Of an abcess, but that il
was an entirely different troubled be

next day was better.

If Mr.. Travers imagined this state
ment would ruffie the even temper o
Prof. Clark he was happily mistaken
for he said:
"Well Travers, If you are poor. WI
don't want you to pay cent. But, i
some time when you are well and pro:
porous you want to send US chicke
for a Christmas dinner, We'll call
square. The gratitude that leaped t
poor Travers' eyes was as eloquent a
any expression that could possibl
have been coined out of words, and tn
simple "Thank you" that he said fel
vently as he passed in meant volumes

manner is not only a walking adve

as well.
Mr.. Travers belongs to that mob
