A CIRCUS MANS STORY.
rbr circumstances Attending the Loss OF
Large Anaconda


we lost big anaconda once, said the
old circus man, Gin the most singular
manner you ever heard of. You couldn't
guess how if you should guess for 40 years.
This was at the time when we had the
great lS foot giraffe that I've told you
about and by "A very singular coincidence
this anaconda was just the same length
Just ~ feet long. IL got out of its cage
one day, how nobody ever knew, and
strolled over to where the giraffe was lying
outside the big tent asleep on the ground
What under the canopy could have pos
scssed the anaconda 20 collar the giraffe
don't know unless IL was because it was
the first living thing 1t came across. But
II began coiling itself around the giraffe's
head. 4 had taken ABOUT two turns, /
guess, when the giraffe woke up.
Frightened? Well, now The show
was going on-just started for the after
noon performance. The clown was walk
ing around the ring cracking his whip
when in rushed the giraffe, swaying his
long neck and cracking his whip, the lash
made Of Is feet of anaconda, which the
giraffe slashed around in the air and STAT
ted up against the canvas roof and slam
med down on the ground, jumping around
itself mad I'd been in the show business
some time, but Ia never seen anything
like that
The people didn't know what to make
OF it first; they kind OF thought It was
part OF the show though they acted as
though they thought it was pretty skeery
part, but In about five seconds they real
lied what it was, and then they thought
they'd had their moneys worth and they
wanted TO go, and they did go, dropping
down from the backs OF the seats and
down through tho seats and getting out
my way they could, and leaving the big
giraffe there wrestling with tho anaconda
and thrashing it around and Stating it
down and making every effort to shake
~ off, but without any effect
Then's where the old man came In, as
ne always did In any real emergency. He
was walking around the ring, now back of
the giraffe and now alongside of him, and
keeping as close to him as he could and
waiting for chance. Presently the I'll.
raffe, slashing the great snake around in
the Dir in all directions, doubled It around
the center pole. 1t Just happened so, but
that was the old mans chance. When the
anacondas tail swung around, he seized
80, and IA other men Tailed on in less than
that number OF seconds A canyasman
came out with an AK
ChopP says the old man, and one
blow on the bend of the big serpent where
no went around the center pole was
enough. And that's the way we lost the
big anaconda, but as compared with OF.
RATES. anacondas were cheap, and we were
glad TO get out OF It as well as we did -

Even the pagan Philosopher Plato
said; "a good education is that which
gives to the body and to the soul all the
beauty and perfection of which they
are capable" No earthly wealth can
equal the blessings Of a solid christian
formation which teaches the child his
duty towards God, his neighbor and
himself, and points out to him the one
thing necessary-his eternal salvation.
AS the child, so the youth, as the youth,
so the man. as the man SO the old man.
It is why when a new settlement
gathers, the first thought of the pioneers
is a Church and school-afterthe home
circles-the two indispensable teaching
centers.
With much pleasure do we here re-
produce portions of Miss Magaret Nc
Leod's charming essay, when gradua-
ting last year from Eagle Rivers
School.
On June 10Th 1897, Hiss Mar
garet Mcleod read out before brilli-
ant, select, and appreciative audience
the succinct history of our City's
School
'Early in the fall of 1882, the inhab-
itants of Eagle River, then village"
says Miss M. Mcleod, decided to
have school. A building previously
occupied as a lumber camp. was
at once made ready for SO noble a pur-
pose-the education of our future, prom
Using Eagle River City. It was an
humble beginning. All was wanting:
but, men and women Wereready to have
their boys educated. A christian com
munity is not deferred by initial obsta-
cles Miss Anna O'Connor was APP
pointed as the first teacher Of our chill
dren. From Amigo, from everywhere,
books were provided, though not two
books were alike. All kinds of volumes,
Reader Websters were welcome and
gratefully made use of. Miss Anna did
her teaching duty most nobly, till in
1885, when she was succeeded by her
sister Ella, whose efforts among us were
duly admired and justly appreciated by
Eagle Rivers community.
In these early days, the pupils,
though but eleven were rather unruly
and rather hard to be controlled. Miss
Ella resigned her position.
The school board then decided not to
have any more lady teachers and Sc
cured gentleman to fill the vacancy.
He also found the school hard to con-
troll, and resigned. Another gentleman
succeeded with as little ability to con-
troll as the one just mentioned. After
a short time he rendered q resignation
to the board which was accepted.
Following him came lady teacher
who did remarkably well considering
the pupils she was compelled to deal
with ~ W..
This was the critical period in the
lives Of many Of the pupils, some of E
whom 1t is hoped, looked back with re-
greet upon the time wasted, wishing
that they might be allowed to erase
thelr record Of tad conduct, realizing,
too late, that the. moments idled away
then have beendpr of results
which have BEEN Inore 5or less deleter-
ious to all their following life.
