A CONFIDENCE GAME.
How nm Ingenious YounEster Man.
nEed to Get TO Go to the
Circus.

''The coming of spring always re-
minds me of circVs, and from that
/ drift back TO little incident that
happened when / was small boy"
said the portly party who was in a
reminiscent mood. II was born and
brought up in small town in the
western part of the state. One day
the whole country for miles around
was thrown into state of excitement
by the announcement that a circus
was coming. 1t was the first circus
to visit the town, and il meant a red
letter day for the small boys, among
whom was myself.
MY joy was somewhat clouded by
the thought that my father might be
opposed to my going, and / resolved
to put the all-important question to
him at once and clear the matter up.
"'My son. said my father when
asked him, there is the potato patch
and here is n pail and paddle. If the
potato bugs are all gone by the time
the circus comes you can go. other
wise you stay at home
~ went out to that potato patch
with heavy heart. 1t was an acre
patch and the bugs were thick, and
the work of knocking them into n tin
! pail was prosaic. / worked at it for
Is minutes and then gave up with a
sigh and went down to the billboards
where the flaming posters were.
There was picture of snake 150
feet long that we boys never tired of
looking at and / found number OF
boys clustered around it.
"'Wonder what they feed him on?
said one small boy in an awe-struck
voice.
"'Potato bugs said I, bitterly
thinking of the unfinished task.
"To my surprise what said was
| taken for the truth.
"'Where do they get them?' asked
one of the boys.
"'Huh, said /, seeing light ahead
from the kids of course. One quart
of bugs is good for a free pass. The
next moment | had more friends than
/ knew what to do with, and inside
of ten minutes had small boy on
every row of my. fathers potato
patch.
"Well, my father kept his word, and
1 went to the circus; hut there was
many small boy wandering arnnnd
with pail of potato bugs that
didn't."-Detroit Free Press.

Bread cracks at the side because the
oven at that point is not sufficiently
hot If the bread is turned frequently
while baking the loaf will be even. This
