age. About three years ago l ex-
perienced a coldness or nunbness
in the feet, then creeping up my
legs, until it reached my body. I
grew very thin in flesh, appetite
poor and 1 did not relish my food.
At last 1 became unable to move
about. l consulted several dis
tinguished physicians, one telling
me I had locomotor ataxia, an
other that 1 had creeping paral-
ysis. l took their medicines but
continued to grow worse. Almost
a year ago a friend advised me
to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. Before 1 had
finished my first box l found they
were benefting ME. 1 used twelve

arrival of the circus is probably just as
long as il used TO be to the little ones
oil the former generation.
The circuses of the present day are
really travelling vaudeville shows with
animal attachments. The menageries
have become essential features OF each
show, but formerly the circus consisted
only of few trained horses, men and
women riders, a ringmaster, a single
ring and a clown. There were no eN-

Because of the fact that Rice had
only one horse, his circus was called
THE one-horse show" This was a term
of derision and originated with rival
circus managers. But Dan Rice took it
up and made it an attractive advertis
ing card. People foclled from far and
near to see the stallion which was such
a marvel that Dan Rice considered it a
sufficient feature TO constitute a whole
show. They were not disappointed
/ "EXselsior" was trained not merely to
do tricks, but to understand language
He knew the meaning of upwards of 200
words. He would waltz, walk forward
or backward, turn to the left or right
stand on one, two, three, or four legs
at the word of command He did not
look for trick motions from his mas.
ter, but simply listened for orders and
obeyed them with wonderful intelli-
gence.
The clever clown who trained him
knew that if Excelsior should die his
show must Immediately collapse Con,
sequently during the winter seasons he
trained a young cream-colored stallion
with the same name. The younger stal.
lion was of the same breed and readily
absorbed from the old horse his know-
edge of the language. They were har-
messed together every day, and at a
word of command old Excelsior
would give the performance. and the
younger horse was obliged to follow
his lead
Thus it happened that when old Ey-
celsior" died the show went on with but
slight interruption. Dan Rice sent to
Pennsylvania for the young stallion,
and the general public did not know for
many years that the old original Of the
one-horse show was sleeping in the
