pa told the bouncers he would dis

the managers tent and complained
that he had been fired out, and the

pa to get out. Pa told them who he

He went around the big tent and
watched the last performance of the

and jollied the members of the staff,
and when the performance was over,
and the audience had gone, all the
managers and everybody connected
with the show gathered in the ring to
bid each other good bye, and make
presents TO each other. Everybody
made speeches congratulating the
management and all who had helped
to make the show a success, and they
all joined hands around the ring and
sang "Auld Lang Sine," the animals

Say, there wasn't single animal
that would have pa around. The
zebras kicked ! pa, the lions roared
and sassed him, the hyenas snarled
and howled, the wolves looked ugly,
and the tigers acted as though they
wanted to get him in the cage and tear
out his tenderloin; the elephants want
ed to catch pa and walk on his frame.
The only friends pa seemed to have
was the sacred bull and COW, who let
him come near them, and when they
began to lick pas hand he remembered
his experience with the buffaloes, and
he drew away to the monkey cages.
The ourang outang seemed to look on
pa as an equal, and the monkeys treat
ed me like long lost brother.

Pa got UP with heavy heart, and
started to go into the dressing room,

tectives, and put out under the canvas,

broken. / told pa to so to a barber
shop and have his hair and whiskers
colored black again, and put on his
old checkered vest, and big plug hat,

Charged with Embezzlement.

Poynette.- Discrepancies covering a
period of several years and amounting
to at least $4,000 are said to have
been revealed by the arrest of Fred
G. Price, until recently a clerk in the
Bank Of Poynette, on a charge of
embezzlement.

900 in farm in Minnesota and to
have had a $4,000 interest in hard

paid off a mortgage of $4,000 on his
fathers farm, which was worth $10,-
900, and loaned large amounts of

been turned over to cover the alleged
shortage. The bank is owned by the
Jameson brothers. Price was ar
rested at the instance of H. T. La
mont, a customer of the bank, and is

and pa saw me and he said, "Hen-
merry, amt your pa?" and said "you
can search me, that's what they al
ways said" and then l identified pa,
and they all shook hands with him,
and he reported about the trip to the
west, and what talent he had engaged
for the wild west department for next
year. Then we all went into the tent.
I guess everybody was mad and ex-
cited, cause the show was going to
close, and the salaries stop, as some
of the performers were crying, and
everybody was packed up, and all were
paying borrowed money.
Pa went up to the freaks platform
and tapping the fat lady on the shout
der he said, Hello, you seem to be
taking on flesh, now that the show is
going to close, and you ought to have
got that flesh on earlier in the sea-
son."
I shall never forget the scene. The
fat lady did not recognize pa, but
thought he was just an ordinary old
Hoosier trying to take liberties with
her, and she kicked pas feet out from
under him, and pulled him down
across her lap and with her big fat
hand she gave him few spanks that
made pa see stars. and then cuffed
pas ears, and let him up. He went
over to the bearded woman for SYM
pathy, asked her how she had got
along without him so long, and she
got mad too and swatted pa with her
fist, and yelled for help. The giant
came and was going to break pa in
two, and pa asked the giant Tnat it
was to him, and he said the bearded
woman was his wife, and that they
were married the week before at To-
ledo. The giant lifted pa one with his
hind foot, and pa got down off the
platform, and he told them that was
their last season with the show, when
they had no respect for the general
manager.
Then they all found out who pa was,
and apologized and tried to square
themselves, but pa was hot enough to
boil over, and we went of to see the
animals.

went down to the hotel and the man
ayers listened to the reading of
statement from the treasurer showing
how much money we had made, pa
drew his share of the profits, and we
took a train for home.
At breakfast the next morning in
the dining car, going into Chicago, pa
said, to me, "Hennery, we have had
the most exciting five months of my
life. The circus business is just like
any other business. If you make good
and we are ahead Of the game, it is
respectable, but if you run behind and
have to deal with the sheriff, you are
suspected of being crooked. Make the
people laugh and forget their troubles,
and you are a benefactor, but If your
show is so bad that it makes them
kick and find fault, and wish they had
stayed at home, and you might as
well put Grape on the grand entrance,
and go out of the business. The ami
mails in show are just like the people
we meet in society. If you put on
good front, and act as though you
were the whole thing, they respect
you, and allow you to stay on the
earth, but If you are changeabie, and
look different from your customary APP
pearance, and come up to the cage in
frightened manner. they pipe you of

we will go home and get acquainted"

straight in the eye, where are we
going next?"

to be war there soon, and massacres,
