SING A SONG.

II you'll sing a song as you Sc along,
In the face of the real or faIeied wrong,
In spite of the doubt If you'll sight it out,
And show heart that is brave and
stout:
If you'll laugh at the jeers and refuse
the tears,
You'll force the ever-reluctant cheers
That the world denies when II coward
dies,
To give to the man who bravaiy tries.
And you'll win success with little
song
If you'll sing the song as you 10 alongl
If you'll sing a song as you trodge along.
You'll see that the singing will make you
strong.
And the heavy load and the rugged road
And the sting and the stripe Of the tor
tuous goad
Will soar with the note that you set
afloat:
That the beam will change TO a trihins
mote;
That tho world is bad when You are sad,
And bright and beautiful when glad.
That all you need is little song
If you sing the song as you trudse ni0ns'

man TO a reporter for the Kansas City
Journal. why, they live better than
aver before. We carry almost 1000 peo-
pie. and / doubt if you can find one of
that number who is discontented with
his or her lot Several years ago it was
customary with the majority of circuses
TO provide inferior cars for their bust
ness staff and performers and compel
The laborers to sleep under the big red
wagons or the fiat car The passage OF
time has changed the order of things.
Circus folks now travel as well, If not
better, than the majority of men and
women who are continually moving
from one portion of the United States
to the other in search of pleasure.
"Our business staff and performers
live in spacious Pullman cars The beds
are soft and roomy and the bed clothing
is always fresh and clean. The circus
has twelve Pullmans of this kind, and
on each one is porter, whose duty it Is
to polish the shoes Of all the occupants
each night, look after the laundry and
make the beds and sweep and dust the
cars. These cars are vestibuled and
at the head of the train is an extra long
dining car where the majority of the
people are fed. This diner is looked
after by competent steward, with
staff of good cooks and walters, and
breakfast and dinner are served there
each day. The performers take their
luncheon on the circus grounds imme-
diately after the parade.
THE laborers, including the drivers.
canvasmen, hostlers, property handlers
and animal men. are served with three
meals on the grounds. The food pro-
vided is of the best, and there Is al
ways plenty of 1t. Every laborer has
bed. The drivers and hostlers have
swinging hunks in the cars, directly
above their horses; The animal men are
accommodated in cozy little staterooms
fitted up in the big elephant cars, while
the property handlers and canvasmen
sleep in coaches that greatly resemble
tourist cars. Everyone has good quar-
tiers and splendid food, and, in conse-
quence, it Is seldom that a complaint Is
heard"

Rabbit skins for Hats.

Fur hats are made almost eXclh

American rabbit, however. because
the plucking of the long hairs from
the skin which is a necessary preliu-

cost of labor. be done profitahly here.
A machine invented for the purpose
