prepared plenty OF dinner an we car

home. an then Betsy xuz so tiekIed
erbout some things the clowns had
sed an did that she couldn't eat fer
laffn'
The frs; thing We saw when we got
looms flynn through the air. An the
people. the people, "Whar did a~i
them people cum from?" axed Betsy.
An | couldn't tell her. They WIZ
people thar that / don't think be-
longed in Wake or any adjoinin'
counties: they must hev cum from
Cuba or frum the PHILIPPINES. We
left Bob an the buggy at a livery
stable in town an walked out to the
sircuss grounds. Purity soon after
we got thar | heard a man say that
the great street parade would take
we had to hustle back to town an
take that in. BY that time we wuz
purity nigh out ov breath. Id be
glad to witness a sircuss street parade
every day, they air so educational.
Part ov the school tax orter be used
cuss parade now and then. They
wouldn't need so many high-priced
natural history teachers If sircusses
wuZ real plentiful. An | am sure
that the children would enjoy sir
cusses az much az goin' to school, If
not more.
| The sircuss people had awl sorts
ov restaurants, ice cream stands,
candy shops, an other shops arunnin'
on the grounds, fer that IL part ov
Then they had men seliin' jewelry,
walkin' canes, an dozen other
things, includin' little rubber bal
looms. We could hear the lions roar
in, the elephants snortin' an takin'
on. We finally landed at the ticket

went rite in. Before we could git
seated a slick lookin' Teller cum to
US with a machine to make photo
graphs. He sed he'd make 'em free.
That looked most too guide an we
went rite on. Purity soon I learned
a JuS ScLiC' hC LCi1SA
would meet up with a couple, gener-
ally boy an girl, an he'd offer TO
make their pictures fer nothin. Most
ov them would jump at the free Of
fer, an the Teller would place them
in a good position an tell them to
look at some objeck till he'd make
the picture. Then he'd walk off an
leave the couple standin' like statues.
Some ov them waited nearly an hour
an when their patience would give
out theyed look Ground fer the man
who wuZ to make their pictures. Ov
course he wuz playin' joke on them
an wuz awlready out ov site. But
hit wuz fun fer the crowd to see a
couple standin' waitin' fer the pic
ture that would not be made.
I After gittin' seated We watched
the horseback ridin', the clowns an
the trained animals. Most ov them
girls an men riders don't need any
saddles or anything. A sircuss IL a
plum site.
After the sircuss performance wuz
over we went back to look at the
