MEMORIES.

How the sweet smell of the sawdust
how the roaring of the lions.
How the prancing Of the horses, as
they ride around the ring;
How the chatter of the monkeys, and
the painted clowns joking.
Memories of the joys of boyhood
back again unto us bring.
How the thoughts Of times long absent
come once more about us cling
ing,
How an eagerness long absent
comes again into our gaze,
As we sit in our old places, watching
feats and tricks and riding,
And feel once more the glamor OF
the good old circus days.

A Primer of Sports.
BY NORMAN CRoWELL,

At this point in the obsequies the
coon takes to tall tree He is built
tapering so that he can go up a tree
at a high rate of speed, considering
the steep grade. AS no hound has
ever been found who will follow a
coon into the branches, the chase
SINNERS down to a mere bowling
match at the foot of the tree. The
echoes are so rudefy awakened by
this time that they give up all at
tempts to go back to sleep again.
In the course OF time the weary
hunters appear with the honest sweat
of effort standing carelessly about on
their faces. Immediate preparations
are put under way for a decrease in
the coon census. A lighted lantern is
showed up on a pole to shine the VIC
TINS eyes and thus locate his
whereabouts. If the coon was real
smart he would keep his eyes shut
and stay with us longer, but scarf
coon invariably keeps his optical
organs peeled back to the last notch.
Presently two yaller CLEANS tell the
crack shots below that the coon 10

A gun is trained in his direction. all
the triggers pulled at once and the
deceased begins his weary Journey
earthward. By nimble footwork the
dogs are restrained from eating and
digesting the coon and he is then
slowed in bag for future reference.
By this time the dogs are off on q
new trail and the same thing is gone
through with. A good covey of ca
mines will harvest as many as seven
coons in an all-night hunt. but four
coons are about all the average man
wants. They will be enough to feed
the family for whole week and
keep the visitors SO full that they
can't close their eyelids.

him from the room, land you know
my earnings are as much yours as
they are mine"
Il presume that is SO, replied she as
they paused before the mantel, his
arm about her waist, "but SO few men
seem to see it that way"
II believe, dear, that will give you
this" responded Jinx handing her the
same twenty; Il really believe you can
