slipped by without pToffering the re-

The story of the origin OF the part
nership between the ciTcusmen Barnum
and Bailey is as picturesque as posters
that subsequently announced their
show. When Mr.. Bailey headed the
old firm of Bailey, Hutchinson & Coop
err. their chief attraction was Glib,
the elephant with two trunks
Glib was n wonder, the whole COun-
try was crazy to see him, and every
where the Bailey. Hutchinson & Coop
er show spread its tents they were
crowded to their limit
Phineas T Barnum did not like the
tremendous success his rivals were
having. Calling in his secretary, he
said in a thoughtful and puzzled way:
| Dan. did you ever see Gib?"
No, I never did see him." replied
Dan.
HAS he really got two trunks?'
asked Mr.. Barnum, in a speculative
manner.
Cant say for sure, but they keep
on saying he has. good and loud"
Dan" said Mr.. Barnum. slowly
we've got to have that elephant" And
! he reached for a telegraph blank and
sent the following message TO Bailey,
Hutchinson & Cooper:
''WiII give you $4,000 for Glib, the
elephant with two trunks.-P. T. Bar
num-"
The next towns the Bailey, Hutchin-
! son &, Cooper show visited were pla-
/ posters reproducing Mr. Barnum'c
telegram with Photographic accuracy,
and under it this line:
That's how much P. T Barnum
7 thinks Of the famous Glib, the only eie-
plant in the world with two trunks"
When Mr.. Barnum heard of it he
meditated awhile in silence and then
he said: Dan, it's not the elephant
we want-it's that man Bailey"
And thus was the great partnership
Of Barnum. & Bailey formed.

"AnthropO,ogists say that the ability
/ to laugh comes to the child as it grows
older The first smile is observed when
the child is about forty to sixty days
old, but it does not begin TO laugh I'M
! til some time after that.
Children and women laugh more
than men. not because the cares OF life
| lie less heavily upon them, but because
the former are more excitable, and
because the moderating power of the
brain is less in them than among men
generally.
Profound study makes men serious,
and so foolish people are sometimes
noted for laughing immoderately. Yet
laughter is not so much an index to
intelligence as it is to the condition of
health. Healthy, vigorous people are
prOverbiaIly Of good humored, joyous,
laughing natures. while the 'sallow,
gIoOmy-eyed dyspeptic' is descrip-
ton scientifically accurate.
'"The envious, wicked, and malevolent
rarely laugh, because, phrenOlogists
say, they are impregnated with bile
and are therefore morOse. The
naughty. the vain. and the awkward
also laugh very little for fear of losing
their dignity. The Spanish people, pro-
verbally grave, are a good example.
People who have lines extended
downward from the angle at the mouth

| laugh and moreover. show a tendency

/ chOIy in after life.
Those who have lines raging out
ward from the eyes are, on the con-
/ tTary, people who laugh a good deal,
/ especially when the upper lip is framed
/ by two deep burrows running down in
/ the mouth"
