The Circus Parade.

1t is hard for the layman to de-
scribe the circus parade to the stay
at.homes, but James Wbitcomb Riley
is not layman, neither is he It q
loss for words. His description Of
the circus pageant which follows, is
on par with all his other writings:
The circus! the circus! the throb of
the drums.
And the blare Of the horns as the
band wagon comes;
The clash and the clang Of the GYM
balls that beat,
AS the glittering pageant winds down
the long street!
In the circus parade there is glory
clean down
From the first spangled horse to the
mule of the clown,
With the CLEAN and the CLINT and the
glamor and glare
OF the days of enchantment all glim-
mering there.
And there are the banners Of silvery
fold
caressing the winds with their fringes
Of gold.
And their, high-lifted standards with
spear-tips aglow,
And the helmeted knights that go rid
inn halow.

There's the chariot wrought OF some
marvellous shell
The sea gave to Neptune, first wash
ing it we'll
With its fabulous waters Of gold, till
it CLEANS
Like the galleon rare Of an argonaut's
dreams.
And the elephant, too with his I'M
dulant stride
That rocks the high throne Of king
in his pride),
his tanks
The tigers that leapt from the Jujubee
banks.
Here's the long, ever-changing, mys-
FERROUS line
OF the cages, with hints of their glor-
les divine,
From the barred little windows, cut
high in the rear,
Where the hidden animals noses
appear.
Here's the pyramid car, with it's splen-
doZand flash,
And goddess on high, in a hot
AndsA wiper skirt! oh, the rarest
gZsights
Is tA queen of the air" in osrulean
tights!
Then the far-away clash of the Gym
balls, and then
The swoon Of the tune ere it wakens
again,
with the capering tones Of the gallant
cornet,
That go dancing away in mad
minuet.
The circus, the circus! The throb of
the drums,
And the blare of the horns as the band
wagon comes;
The clash and the clang of the GYM
balls that beat,
AS the glittering pageant winds down
tina long street.
