of the show that pa had been commits

cure the Indians and cowboys, horses

cattle that would stand it to be las

and he promised that next year they
would have no 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 per-
formers and hands cheered the mana
ger, and then they yelled for pa for
a speech.
Pa got up on the tub that the
elephants stand on, and said that
it was true what the manager said
about a wild west show, and that he
was proud of the confidence reposed in
him. He should be glad to take an ex-
petition and go out into the far west
and beard the wild west Indian in his
tepee and engage Indians by the hun
dred to come with us next year. He

American Humor.

"The other day." said a man who
knows a joke, several of us American
'littyratters' were chatting an intelli-
gent Englishman on his dullness Of
perception of American humor, and
some of us made the statement that
American humor in literature ranked
higher than that Of any other nation
on the globe. The Englishman chal-
lenged the statement and asked what
writer's of humor we had of even ma
tional reputation who were continuing
the work of their predecessors which
had given to us our adventitious fame.
We all began at once to silence him
forever by hurting at him the names
of Mark Twain, Bob Burdette, George
AIDE, Peter Dunno and-and-well,
we stopped there, so far as the
Englishman was concerned. True, we
mentioned the names Of others. but
the Englishman said he had been liv-
ing in a western town for two years
and had never heard of them until he
came to New York. He gave us the
iocular hai ha! and offered to get all
kinds of liquid refreshments that the
bunch of US couldn't name ten Amer
lean writer's of humor who had any,
thing more than local reputation,
and that wouldn't last as soon as the
newspapers got tired of them. This
put us up against It." said the man.
according to the New York Press, land
we began to figure bit with no great
success At last accounts we were
considerably shy Of the promised ten,
and now l am questioning myself as
to whether or not we are producers OF
humor or merely appreciators of it. l

is like washington crossing the Della
ware.
And yet the people come from miles
around to see the show, and every
body rides web-tooted mule, that can
wallOw in the mud. They hitch the
mules to fences outside the tent, and
while the performance is going on the
mules bray in concert and drown the
band.
Pa has been wild ever since we
struck Missouri, and no wonder, cause
everybody seems to lay everything in
the way of weather on him. Every
place we show the lot is one sea of
mud, and when we get the rings 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 to
wear rubber boots, cause they fall

in search of the widest red men and
would hunt the cowboy in his lair
and secure those who could make the
most trouble for cattle and horses and
shoot up an audience if necessary to
keep the peace, and he would buy buff
faloes enough so every performer could
ride one If he wanted to. He said
while we had this year had some at
tempts at wild west department in
our show, it was only tame imita-
ton 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 should take Hennery along
with him as a mascot, and if the worst
came he could trade me to an Indian
tribe for ponies, or leave me as a hos
tage with some tribe until he returned
the Indians at the close of next sea-
son. Pa closed his remarks by hoping
that nothing had occurred during the
past season that would cause anybody
to have it in for him, cause he had
tried to be impartial in his cussedness.
and while he felt that no had been
considered an interloper in the pro-
fession at first, he had found that ey-
erybody looked upon him later in the
season as the main guy in the show.
and that all had felt at liberty to give
1t to him in the neck on every proper
occasion and he felt that he had taken
his medicine like thoroughbred.

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, Ncause 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
in the ring they all lay down and roll
in the mud and water, so when they
are ready to do their act they look
like walking mud pies. The freaks are
awful to handle, the giant being the
only one that can wade through and
look pleasant, and the fat woman
would make you weary. she has to be
carried back and forth to the platform
by half a force of hands. Pa has had
shawl straps and coffin handles fas-
tened to her clothes, so there will be
something to grab hold of to move
her around. I 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
1t the show don't care much about a
fat woman anyway, but just guy her
and ask her what kind of breakfast
food she lives on. He thinks if we. had
three reasonably fat women that
weighed about 200 pounds apiece, 1t

They gave three cheers for pa, and
then they brought in the blankets and
tossed everybody up until they lost
yelled that they had enough, and they
wound up by tossing pa up in the blan-
ket until he could see stars. They
were going to give the fat woman a
hoist, when the boss canyassman gave
the signal to take down the tents, and
all was in hubbub for about Is min
utes.
When everything was down and ev-
eryhody went to the train after joining
haLds ssound the middle ring and
singing 'Old Lang Sine," pa and
and the manager went to hotel to
organize our expedition to the far
west in search of talent for wild west
show that shall be the greatest ever
put under canvas. after all had gone
away, and only pa and / and the man
ayers 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 highballs, !"
and when they came, with a red lem
onade 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"
"Hey Rube!" said the manager and
we drank standing, and pa went out
and bought tickets for Cheyenne, and
some beads to give to the Indians we
shall visit in the west.
