Where Church and Circus Meet.

Where Church and Circus Meet.
ION one point at least the church
and -.le circus touch common ground
said a clerk in the naturalization bu.
reau. Each member of a circus per,
formers family and each member OF
a country preachers family claims a
different birthplace. Very often fam
lilies consisting of -grown-up brothers
apply for citizenship. In most cases
they are poor people whose parents
certainly could not afford to be globe
trotters, and all the children were
born in the same village or town. But
once in a while | meet three or four
or maybe five or six brothers each OF
whom has first seen the light in a
different place. In a cas of that kind
my first question is:
parents in the circus?
Usually they were. If not, guess
again.
"'Church?' ! ask, and that time
hit it. Funny, isn't 1t, that of all in
situations only the clurc,: and the Gil
Gus produce professional wandcrers?

While coal is mined at a greater

accidents is less in that country than
in any other. For the ten-year period
from 1891 to 1900 the number of ia

1t is urged that those who can not
afford to pay big fees for hospital
treatment, and to travel TO some dis
tant institution of the kind, can be
cared for here in their home county at
nominal expense, while those who
must be cared for at the expense of
the public could get such care at much
less expense than is now the case
when they must be taken to some hos
pital outside the county for treatment.
