q tame imitation OF what we would
have next year. and he wanted them
all to pray for him, that he might
come out of the Wild far west without
being killed. He said he Sould take
Hcnnery along with him as a mascot.
and if the worst came he could trade
NO TO an Indian tribe for ponies or
leave me as a hostage with some
tribe until he returned the Indians
at the close Of next season. Pa clos
ed his remarks by hoping that moth
ing had occurred during the past seas
on that would cause anybody to have
it in for him, cause he had tried to be
impartial in his cussedness, and VIII ie
he felt that he had been considered
an interloper in the profession at first.
he had found that everybody looked
upon him later IN the season as the
main guy in the show. and that al:
had felt at liberty to give it to him in
the neck ON every proper occasion and
he felt that he had taken his medi-
cine like a thoroughbred

Well, Missouri is the state to teach
a circus humility, and we have taken
the thirty-third degree in the last ten
days. 1t has rained nine days and
half out of a possible ten days, and
the mud is something we never
dreamed of before. The wagons have
been mired in the mud on the way
from the train to the lot every day in
the streets of cities big enough to have
street cars and electric lights. The
cities have one or two main streets
paved, but the rest of the streets are
just virgin soil, and you have got to
swim to get TO the paved streets
When you start away for the lot. 1t
Rs like Washington crossing Della
ware.
And yet the people come from miles
around to see the show, and every
body rides a web-f footed mule, that
can wallow in the mud. They hltch
the mules to fences outside the tent,
and while the performance is going on
the mules bray in concert and drown

struck Missouri and no wonder,
cause everybody seems to lay every

good-by. We have bought presents
for everybody, and it has been pic
nic.
Pa had a big heart, with roses all
around it. made of a horse collar,
covered with flowers, which came from
the freaks, and the performers remen
bered him with presents, and every
body got together in the main tent
and made speeches.
The manager thanked everybody
and promised that next year we would
have the greatest show on earth. He
said the management had decided that
what we lacked this year was q wild
west show. as the people everywhere
seemed to dote on busting bronchos,
and roping cattle, and chasing bufra-
loes and seeing Indians and rough
riders chase up and down the arena.
He felt that in justice to our rough
riding President, it was proper 10 have
a Wild west show that would make
things hum next year. He said he
took pleasure in informing the people
of the show that pa had been commits
stoned to so out west at once and Sc
cure the Indians and cowboys. horses

ment of the public. bGffaloes that
would below and act like old times on
the plains. stage coaches and robbers
and he promised that next year they
would have cause to be ashamed of
the show. He said pa was authorized
to spare no expense to round up
wild west show second to none. The
performers and hands chcered the
manager. and then they yelled for pa
for speech.
Pa got up on the tub that the
elephants stand on. and said that it
was true what the manager said about
wild west show, and that he was
proud of the confidence reposed in
him. He should be glad to take an
expedition and go out into the far
west and beard the wild west Indian
i'm his tepee and engage Indians by
the hundred 70 come with us next
year. He would pierce the wilderness
of the west in search of the widest
red men and would hunt the cowboy
i'm his lair and secure those who
could make the most trouble for cat
tie and horses and shoot up an audi
ence If necessary to keep the peace.
and he would buy buffaloeS enough so
every performer could ride one if he
wanted to. lie said VIII le we had this

look pleasant, and the fat woman
would make you weary, she has to be
carried back and forth to the platform
by half the force of hands Pa has had
sinaul etrano and coffin handles fas-
tened to her clothes, SO there will be
something to grab hold of to move
her around. l don't think that an
other year we will have any fat Wom-
an. cause pa says it costs more to get
this 500-pound female from one place,
To another than all the rest of the
show. He thinks that people who Wis
il the show don't care much about
fat woman anyway. but just guy her
and ask her what kind of breakfast
food she lives OH. He thinks if we
had three reasonably fat women that
weighed about 200 pounds apiece, 1t
would give better satisfaction any they
would be easier to handle; but when
she heard what pa said and felt that
she was going to be shook next year
she began to cry and it was like turn
ing on water in bathtub. Pa had to
pet her and then the bearded woman
got jealous.
At Jefferson City there came cold
w2ve and everything was froze stiff.

made they seem like chain of lakes
and in galloping around the rings the
horses splash mud and water clear to
The reserved seats. The riders of the
horses have to come out in rubber
hunting boots and when they get on
the horses we have to pull their boots
off and hold them until the act is
over, then the riders sit on the horses
and pull the boots on and get down in
the mud of the ring and bow to the
audience.
The women riders are the worst 10

down in the mud and spoil their
dresses and kick scandalOuS. The
trapeze performers have to be carried
out Of the dressing room on stretchers,
and hoisted up to the net, cause they
can't do stunts up on the trapeZe with
wet feet. and we have worked our
selves to death getting things in shape.
The confounded elephants just glory
in the mud, and the minute they get

west in search of talent for a wild
west show that shall be the greatest

gone away, and only pa and | and the
managers were left it seemed as we
thought over the incidents of the past
season, as though there had been an
earthquake and the whole show had
been blotted out Of existence.
Pa choked up and was going to cry
and got my throat full of something
so could not speak, and the mana
gers began to wipe their eyes, and pa
saved the day by saying: "On, what's
the use, let's order up some high
balls" and when they came, with the
red lemonade for me, pa said: Well
here's to the people that crowd
around the ticket wagon and fight to
get the first ticket when the window is
open, and go away after the show and
say it is the greatest show ever"

out and bought tickets for Cheyenne.
