who was adorably like the older wo-

trace of the mischief that invariably
lurked in Mrs Meads. All this the
Rev. Frederic saw in a breath He

found himself standing on his head in
about nine feet of water.
He came to the surface instantly.

mind me. I can make the shore all

seeing that the overturned canoe was
drifting in the same direction. judged
that 1t was tactfui to obey him.
One day in September, when the min

came upon the two, who were costly

he never would get through using pa for a

pa, and keeper got an iron hook in the ele-
plants ear, and they pulled pa out on one side,
and got the elephant away on the other side,
and just then the caope, that ends the pa

waltzed on the pavement. They put pa and the

Pa had his sheilS clothes rolled up around his

a long time to convince the policemen that
we we're not guilty of disorderly conduct, and

The Rev. Frederic was very much in

yet with a latent spark of laughter in
her eyes.

The Rev. Frederic, despite his per-
turbation. threw back his head and
laughed.

the Rev. Frederic, In tone of tender

Mrs. Mead assented, and for a while
the young man padded vigorously in

OF any week since we have been out with the
circus The trouble with pa is that he wants
to be Johnny on the spot" as the boys say,
and if anything breaks he volunteers to go to
work and fix it, and If anybody is sick or dis
abled, he wants to take their place, as he says
so he will learn everything about the circus,
and be competent to run show alone next
year.
But it was mean trick the principal owner
of the show played on pa at Canton, O. You
see John L. Sullivan used to do boxing act
with this show, years ago, and everybody likes
John, and when he shows up where the show
gives performance he has the freedom of the
whole place, and everybody about the show
is ready to fall over themselves to do John L.
a service.
Well, John showed up at Canton, and he
went everywhere all the forenoon and met
all the old timers and at the afternoon per-
formance he was awfully jolly.
John was standing beside the ring when
the Japanese juggers were juggling, and he
leaned against a pole. Pa came in from the
menagerie tent, and he didn't know Sullivan,
and when he saw Sullivan holding the pole up,
pa oeilu W lllS DOoo lHdI llle
who was interfering with the show ought to
be called down, or put out.
The boss said to pa; "You go take him by
the ear and put him out" and pa, who is as
brave as lion, started for Sullivan, and the
boss winked at the other circus men, and pa
went up to Sullivan and took hold of Johns
neck with both hands, and said: Come on
out of here"
Well, sir, we ought to have moving pictures
of what followed. Sullivan turned on pa and
growled Just like lion. Then he took pa
around the waist and held him up under his
arm, and picked up piece of board and Slated
pa just as though pa was child, and the au-
dience just yelled, and pa called to the circus
men for help, but they just laughed,
Pa got chance at the fat man and he hit
him in the jaw but it did not hurt Sullivan,
only made him mad. He took pa UP by the col
lar and whirled him around until pa was dizzy,
and then he started with him for the menagerie
tent, and called to the boss canvasman: "Bill,
come on and tell me which is the hungriest
lion, and will feed him with this cold meat"
Pa yelled, cause he thought he was in the
hands of an escaped lunatic, and the circus
hands came and took him away. Then the
owner told pa who Sullivan was, and pa al
most tainted. But finally, after breathing hard
for awhile, pa went UP to Sullivan and shook
his hand, and said; "Mr. Sullivan, you must
excuse me. If had known you were the great
John L. I would not have licked you" Sui
livan looked at pa and said: "Well, you are
a wonder, old man. and you did do me up and
pa and Sullivan became great friends Since
then pa is pretty chesty, cause the circus men
point him out to the jays as the man who
whipped John L. Sullivan.

I AM learning more about animals every day,
i and when the season is over will be an
expert animal man. Animals naturally have a
language of their own, and lions understand
each other, and bears can converse with bears,
but in a show all animals seem to have COM
mon language, so they understand each other
a little.

enne pepper into head of lettuce and gave
it to the sacred COW. She chewed the lettuce
as peacefully as could be, and swallowed the
cayenne pepper, and then stopped to think.
You could tell by the expression on her face
that when the pepper began to heat her UP
inside she wanted to swear, although she was
sacred COW. She bumped herself, and shiv-
cred, and then beloved like a calf who has
been left in the barn to be weaned while its
mother goes out to pasture, and the sacred
bull, her husband, he came and put his nose
up to her nose, as much as to say; What is
the matter, deariep and she talked sacred
cattle talk to him for a minute, and then the
bull turned to me and chased me out of the
tent. Now, as sure as you live that COW told
the bull that had given her something hot.
All the animals within hearing were on to
me, and they would snarl, and make noises
when came along, and act as though they
wanted to make me understand that they
knew I gave that cow hot box, and they
all wanted to get chance at me.

Shelbyville and pa offered to do the stunt, 1

there would be something doing.
The elephant eyed pa when he got up into
the bungalow on top of him, with the Circas-
sian woman and me, and winl1ed at the other
elephants, as much as to say: Watch my :
smoke AS he went out from the lot, on the
way downtown, ahead of the bunch, all the
other animals acted peculiar, and seemed to
say: 'He will get his before we get through
this parade"
The big elephant is one of the best ring per-
formers, but he has always been steady in the
street parade, with the light of Asia on his
back. We got to the edge of town and stopped
to let the rear wagons close UP, and were in
front of saloon, where the bartender had
