THE TRAMP WHO FEARED.

A tramp who was sleeping on the
southern edge of a, straw stack after a
hearty meal of cold victuals was sud
denly awakened by a voice calling in
his ear, and he sprang up to be con-
fronted by country constable, who
exclaimed:
''Prithee, sir, but this is against the
laws of the county of Suffolk. town of
Brookhaven. and you must explain
your conduct"
Lands, but it is only a constable
only a constablel' exclaimed the
Tramp, as the look of terror fed from
his face and was replaced by a sweet,
sad smile.
"Only a constable. but represent the
law. sir; and I canst have thee restrain
ed for thirty days"
"Then go ahead with your restrain
ing, old man. For a moment after I
had got my eyes open my heart al
most ceased to beat I took you for
a buck-saw come to lead me to cord
of hickory wood"
Moral: Things could be worse for
even the Tramp.
THE TRAVELLER, THE OWL AND
THE CLAM.
A Traveller who was making his way
along the seashore espied an Owl
perched in a tree. and in the sands near
by reposed Clam. The Owl winked
and blinked, but preserved silence, and
the Clam had its shell tightly closed
and gave no sign of life.
''Ah, but here is wisdom indeed" ex-
claimed the Traveller. "I doubt not
that both of these would give me valu-
able advice if I could only prevail upon
them to talk"
Thereupon he coaxed and entreated
them 20 break through their silence,
and at the end of half an hour the Owl
opened her mouth and uttered a harsh
and dismal boot. At the same time the
Clam opened its shell and yawned sleep
lily and closed it again.
'Great Scott, but how I have wasted
my timei" gasped the man who had
waited. THE one opened her mouth

WHITE TENTS OF GENTRY
SHOWS ATTRACT CROWDS
Grounds at Sixteenth Street and
Capitol Avenue Prove Mecca
for Sunday Sightseers.
PARADE AT 10 O'CLOCK

The weather was chilly yesterday, but
the reception accorded the Gentry animal
actors on their arrival in Indianapolis
early in the morning was as warm
could have been desired. The wonderful
dogs and ponies, accompanied by their
elephant and monkey companions, got in
on schedule time, and in a remarkably
short time after their arrival the show
grounds at Sixteenth street and Capitol
avenue, where the circus, If the word is
permissible, will spend the week. was
thronged with sightseers. 1t is estimated
that 10000 people visited the grounds during
the afternoon, and late 10 o'clock
last night many people were still visiting
the city of white tops.
Much interest was manifested in the erec-
ton of the tents, but especially when the
dogs and ponies were given their dinner
was the interest of the crowd intense. The
Gentry Brothers have method all their
own in feeding their stock. and they are
taught how TO eat properly the same as
they are taught their lessons in acting.
Frank Gentry explained this by saying that
animal actors, like most of their two-leg
ged human companions of the stage, were
as a rule great eaters and too much sup
per worse than too little, especially so
far as the dogs are concerned.
The dogs, as a matter OF fact, are never
fed but once a day. and that at the noon
hour. This meal is an ample one and con-
sists of nothing but cooked food. The dogs
are never fed raw meat and are never al
lowed to accept the hospitality of the lit
tie folks, who always want to feed them
buns and cake The ponies, however, must
have consumed half a barrel of lump SUI
gar during the afternoon. The little folks
take an especial delight In feeding the po-
mics, and as sugar is good for them, they
are allowed to indulge as long as there is
any sugar forthcoming.
Little Louisville. the infant baby pony,
was the great center of attraction. She
was the especial pet of all the little folks
and IL seems sure to prove a big attraction
during the week.
A slight change has been made in the
hour of the street parade. 1t will leave
the show grounds this morning, coming
down Capitol avenue at 10 o'clock sharp
instead of 1880, as advertised in the morn
ing papers The parade is promised to be
ever seen i'm Indianapolis, and if the wealth
er is good will probably be witnessed by
half the population of indianapolis this
morning.
