made his leap. His feet cleared the top
board nicely, and he went on his way
rejoicing, the only drawback being a
little quarrel of short duration between
the tail Of his best coat and stuck-up
spike on the top Of the fence. 1t is un-
necessary to state that the spike came
off first best What the man was en-
deavoring to figure out was why 1t took
him so long to reach fast land on the
other side When he came to he was
lying in them nd with the knee of his
trousers torn out, and his best suit
badly soiled. He limped to the alley

"Oh. | could hear it here quite dis

Then he went in home. and after

was declared off, and he and his wife

clothes fit to wear once more.
OUT OF SEASON. BUT GOOD.
This story is a little out of season
1t should be kept until next Spring
or Summer, when the circus comes to
town. but as it has reference TO last
season, and has been kept out of
print too long already, the Wayfarer
has decided that it might as well be
jotted down in his notebook
The circus was in town, and an aged
man. whose home is on West Eighth
street. went and took his little grand
daughter with him. She had been
raised in a very devOut manner, and
the animals and actors were quite a
revelation to her. Just before the con-
clusion of the performance the custo-
mary announcement was made from
the ring that there would be grand
concert, and that all who wished to
remain could do so by paying 10 cents
extra.
Pretty soon the hustlers came around
crying the tickets for the concert. The
audience was in a liberal frame of
mind, and hundreds of tickets were
sold before the hustlers ceased their
work. The old man concluded that he
and his little charge had seen enough
and Immediately after it had been an
nounced that the regular performance
was over he took his granddaughter
by the hand and left the tent. Board
ing a car they were soon at home.
How did you like it, dear?" asked
her mother, beaming upon her.
1T was dOod," she answered, "but
don't you know, mamma, everybody
stayed for prayer-meeting but me and
grandpa!"
The circus has been away from the
city for nearly year, but the quaint
observation Of the little spectator is
still as fresh in the minds of that West
Eighth street family as though it had
been made but yesterday.

4 BILL NYE,s lI,T.


Tho Appearance He Presented Aftor Using
II Cosmetic.
James Whitcomb Riley tells a quaint
story OF his former leeturing partner,
Bill Nye:
son; they had been rusticating during
the vacation and were both brown as
berries. Nye looked much like an
Othello in his sTnburned makeup, and
Riley suggested to him the application
OF some liquid white" cosmetic
much affected by the gentler sex Of the
profession.
Nye sent for the preparation. and
never having used anything of the kind
before. he filled the palm o; his hand
with it and carclessly smearrd ii over
his coun,cnancc. There was no mirror
In his very primitive dressing-room.
and Riley was Identifying himself on
the other side of the stage.
The liquid white" dried out some
what like white wash, and when Nye
appeared before the audience he was a
sight to behold. His head looked like
frosted top-piece on wedding cake:

manded his temperance. He obliged
them to ho%'is Of laughter; again he
made his exit, and again was redc
manded by the uproariOus audience.
Believing he had made Il hit. he was
about returning To the stage, when he
was caught by the arm by Mrs. Nya,
who cried: William Edgar Nye, what
have you got on your face?"
Nothing but it's usual expression.

him to where there was Il piece Of
broken looking-glass, showed him how
he looked.
Nye was mortified. and, catching
sight of Riley just about going on the
stage, he would have undoubtedly fol-
lowed him on and been revenged but
for the Intervention of Mrs. Nye.
His head was scraped, cOmbed and
washed, and his next selection was

According to authorities on military

h It must be pretty plain by this time
Ito those who intelligently follow the
operations Of the army that the most
difficult thing about war is not fighting.
but the feeding Of the lighters. The
feeders really have harder work than
the fighters, and yet hardly ever are
mentioned or even thought of by the
great public who are spectators of the
game of war.--Pittsburg Times
The reason for this is obvious. The
feeder usually gets profit through his
contracts for furnishing food TO the ar
