HoWE's GREAT LONDON SHOWS
What Boy Ever Lived That Wouldn't
Go and See the Circus Unload?
An Essentially ChiIdren's
Shaw

There is nothing that recalls a
mans bOyhoOd days more wildly than
the circus. 1t is a trite saying that
many fathers are mighty glad that
the taking of their children gives an
excuse to attend all the circuses that
come to the city. but there are lot
of the men who are not ashamed of
the fact that they are merely boys
grown up, and go to the circuses be-
cause they enjoy them. The odOr of
the animals and sawdust brings back
the days when. knowing the circus
was coming. they would get up be-
fore daylight not to see the big vans
unloaded from the trains, for circuseS
did not travel by railway those days,
but to walk out in the country a few
miles to meet the caravans, which
travelled overland from town to town.
To walk into town beside the elephant
was the greatest fun imaginable.
There was not as much to the aver
age circus then as there is today, but
there was plenty for all to see, and
the boy who was not permitted TO at
least hang around the show grounds
was indeed in bad luck
The children will be delighted with
the miniature menagerie, with boy
trainers, drivers and caretakers.
Let the boys and girls tell their par
ents that Howe's London Shows will
be here Tuesday, Nov. 80.
