Look for Circus, Saturday.

Do you, my parent reader, note a
change for the better in The DISPOSE
tion of your boy these boys? Doesn't
the little rascal do all manner of err
rands with surprising alacrity, where
as formerly he was morose or sullen
whenever he had to stop playing with
his schoolmates or chums and run to
the store for bar of soap or loaf OF
bread? Doesn't he even ask, "Pa,'
Cor "Ma,") whichever the case may
be-; chant you got something l can
do for your" And then, after he has
done something for you, doesn't he
eventually swing around to the one
subject uttermost in his mind and say
something like this: "Say, "pa" Cor
"ma"), the circus'll soon be here,
won't it? Gee, but I'll bet it's a big
one for them pictures over on Jimmie
Fadden's pas barn shows elephants,

men riding horses, m everything
You goin' to let me 60 to the circus,

All, kind parent, the fact that the
great Hargreaves' Railroad Shows
are advertised to give afternoon and
evening performances in Skowhegan
Saturday, May 25 accounts for the
colossal change in little Willie, or
Sammie, or George, or Charley
That's it, the circus.
No parent ought to miss this oppor
tunity to take the boy or girl to the
great Hargreaves circus; for the
practical lessons in natural history
which all youthful minds will newt
ably absorb while viewing the numer-
ous rare he asts in the double meDa-
gerie, cannot fail to be of estimable
value. And SO, if for no other rea-
son, parents are duty bound to take
their children to the great Hargreav
es' Railroad Shows because of the
fact that the menagerie forms one OF
the largest and most complete zoolo-
gical exhibits ever gathered together
since the great Noah filled the ark.
