Younsster Waited Long to Find Flaw
in Day Of Joy.

The circus had come to town, and
there was tiny boy, not more than
three years old, who was too excited
to eat or sleep, so filed was he with
visions Of the wonders that might be
seen. So his father (who was a big
boy himself) decided TO take the baby
to an afternoon performance, and the
twn set off together.
1t was gorgeous afternoon, and
the twU came home with exciting tales
of the marvels they had beheld.
Never had there been such show or
such animals. Language was quite
inadequate to the occasion-it had
been thing of pure, golden joy.
At six o'clock the little fellow was
having his supper, when he suddenly
stopped, his mouth full OF porridge
and the spoon sticking out from II at
defiant angle, and burst into roar,
deafening, heart-broken, and inarticu-
late, the spoon dropping with a clat-
ter to the table.
His father was puzzled and asked
various questions as to possible stom.
ach ache, stray pins. etc, meeting
with no answer whatever. Then he
demonstrated:
why, Jacky." he said, do you
think this is nice OF you? Father has
taken you to the circus, and just think
OF all the things you've seen! The
polar bear, and the elephants-and-"
But Jackys rage at this became I'M
governable, and he found words
