Japanese circus. which stopped on its
way home from a tour Of the South
American countries and put up its little
of ponce. It lasted one week, during
which time the tent was packed twice
a day with very appreciative audiences.
but very little money came in at the
door. Then 1t died miserable death
at the hands Of Spanish sheriff or
some other kind Of petty civil officer.
The way of it was this: The Second
and Third Wisconsin regiments, some
United States regular artillery batteries
and Illinois volunteer engineers were
camped just outside Of Ponce. and just
across the road from where the tent
was pitched. The Japanese manager
Of the show had expected that the mil
itary would be his best paying patrons.
but the fact that none of them had had
any pay for three months completely
upset his plans. The natives were
.awed by the presence Of the troops and
in no mood for any amusement Of any
kind. and the result was that very few
gave up their coin at the door. The
first day the show opened. the man
ager thought to gain the good will Of
the soldiers by admitting them all free
as soon as the performance began. He
thus established q precedent. Of which
the soldiers took advantage at every
performance. They would stand around
by companies until the wheexy hand
organ announced that the perform
ance had begun, when they advanced
by rushes into the tent, filling every
available inch, but committing no vio-
lence and keeping the best Of order.
No circus ever had more appreciative
or demonstrative audience. Every act
of the japanese juggiers. American
song and dance team and lady con-
itortionist was encored. But not even
in Porto Rico can show live on ap-
plause. unaccompanied by coin. and at
the end OF the week poor little Fukino,
the Japanese manager. SOW his tent
and properties seized for debt, and he
and his Eve performers were COM
PEELED to apply to the military authors
ties for transportation to Amtrica,
which they got on one Of the returning
troop ships. The soldier boys viii al
ways feel grateful. however. to Man
ager Fukino for furnishing them the
one little ray Of amusement that lit up
their hard worked and ili-fed days in
Porto Rico. =

There exists in Houston a peculiar or
ganization about which there is at pres
ent considerable discussion pro and con.
The organization is officially termed by
its members the Houston Incarceration
club. and had its origin some fifteen
months ago.
The organization of the club was in
formal, 1t having grown out OF a casual
conversation that occurred one night IN
OF gentlemen were sitting around dis
cussing different topics. and the con-
versation drifted around to the subject
of cremation of human bodies. Some ono
in the crowd volunteered an assertion
that when he died 1t was his Wish TO
be cfemated. He said he had a horror
of being buried, ana gave his reasons Tor
Directing to burial. Another member OF
the party coincided with that ones
views relative TO both burial and crema-
ton. and ADDED that IL made him shudier
to think OF all the Shiny and nasty things
that feast on the buried body OF human
being. Several other persons in the
crowd rallied quickly to the support OF
the first two. and Il was suggested that
those present enter into an agreement
to see that the bodies of those who 50
desired should be cremated. That prop
ositlon met with favor. and the follow
ing agreement was drawn up.
I'VE the undersigned, being OF lawful
age and competent to subscribe TO the
following agreement. without doing vio-
lence to the sentiments and prejudices oi
wives and mothers, do hereby associate
ourselves In what shall be known as
the Houston 1ncineration club; the OBJ
iect OF which society is the incinerat ton
OF the bodies OF its members. and the
combating of deep-seated prejudice
against this sanitary. and in every way.
proper disposition OF the dead.
For the purpose OF consummdting our
desires in this matter we individually
agree to paw our pro rata of the neces-
sary expense of conveying the remains OF
a member to the nearest crematory this
cost Of cremation and a suitable re-
ceptacle for the ashes of the members,
also the travelling expenses of a member
OF this club. who shall attend the re-
mains to the place Of incineratlon, SEQ
the same properly performed and re-
turn the ashes to this club. where they
