The Circus ia Town.

The famous circus arrived in COhOes
during the small hours Of the day and
the experienced wOrkmen erected the
big tents with the rspidity with which
the mushroom springs from a pasture
lot. The layman invariably marvels
at the ease and quicbness with which
the circus men build the hGge canvases
from a comparatively chaotic intricacy
OF ropes, pulleys and poles. II one be-
lieved in the power of magicians, one
would declare that every big circus
must employ a wonderful magician to
wave his wand over the men when
they erect the tents However, the
combined efforts of all the magicians
on the face Of the earth would not prove
efiicacious in the matter OF building the
white tops for there ism t bit Of magic
connected with the work at all 1t is
simply system that does the trick-a
splendid system which is carefully ad-
hered TO by every working man, from
the uperihtendent down to the hum
blest cahvasmsn. And to the careful
observer. this system is truly admirable,
