memories of the first circus he ever
attended. Only the overly-curious will
ask how long that is ago, and it is
EoneSof their business, but it may per

degree of accuracy to say that it. was
Van Amberg's circus and menagerie,
and that it was in the days when those
ministers TO the amusement OF the
people travelled overland from town to
town, making long night marches,
and when the ountry boys rose at
the peep-o-dar and sat on the top rails
OF stalte-and-rider fences watching the
long procession PASS. n tumbling in
terror into the c~lderberry bushes when
the elephant waved his trunk and
t~rumpeted a vigorous blast. which boy
