which are to come.
Services for the dead were held out

Ci6CUS CHILDREN.
The Making of Acrobats Begins at an
Early Age.

Early Age.
1t is nothing unusual for the LARGO,
circuses to carry thirty and forty chill
dren, ranging all the way from mere
babies to boys and girls of fifteen and
sixteen years of age. The majority
are travelling with their parents. both
the father and mother doing daily dut7
IN the ring. and while often they are
trained to follow in the steps of their
elders they are seldom allowed to per
form in public.
1t Is common belief among circus
men that the performer whose training
is not started until after the age of six
will seldom make distinctive record
Following the afternoon show | often
saw groups of boys, some of whom
could not have been over four and five
years old, practicing rudimentary som
ersaults and hand springs, while their
parents looked ON with gratified
smile. These were the families Of the
circus aristOcracy, who treasure the
records of their ancestors with the
pride of son in his fathers sword and
who see no more inspiring calling foi
