The Making of Acrobats Begins at an
Early Age.
1t is nothing unusual for the larger
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 duty
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 a common belief among circus
men that the performer whose training
is not started until after the age Of six
will seldom make a 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 Tudimentary SOM
ersaults and hand springs, while their
parents looked on with a gratited
smile. These were the families OF the

One of the serious hindrances to hon
esty, patriotism, justice and finally to
human happiness, is this almost insane
desire for wealth. For it men and wom-
en- are ready to give up honor, charac-
ter and every consideration of well be-
ing in society. 1t makes traitors to
their country of many rich men for to
obtain it in constantly increasing guam
tity, they will conspire against the
laws, and that is treason.
The old saying, Give me neither
poverty nor riches, is based on sound
truth These very rich people are not
happy. They know nothing of con-
tentment nor peace. The day laborer
is prince to them in that respect.
Then why should men seek to ape them
and become just as big fools. Our
standards of human happiness are
false. The sculptor, A. S. Calder, in
describing the desire for a study of
Art and its outward manifestations"
makes use of happy phrase. He rea-
SONS upon the effect of such study up
on the human soul, and that in the past
it has formed a happy middle ground
between the "slavish confnements of
poverty and the riotous waste of
wealth " That is good definition to
remember. Said gentleman of large
wealth to US recently:
Zone of the serious trials of my life
is the powerful tendency that surrounds
me to associate only with rich people
| know better, for ! know that some of
the choicest human lives are to be
found among the poor. | need their
society more than they do mine.
He was lover of nature, hunter
and fisher, and he declared that he
found more real enjoyment in the soci-
ETY. of his half-breed guide than could
be obtained in the parlors of the rich.
To such men riches bring no serious
corroding influence.
Their souls are not rusted out with
greed and envy. They are companion
able for all men who have something to
give. We are apt to forget that prin-
cipIe Something to give" in our con-
tact with people. Wemust always give,
if we expect to take. A large proportion
of men and women have never trained
themselves to give 1t is all take with
them.
1t is big mistake to suppose that
our happiness depends on the amount
of money we amass. 1t will cost us
more care and worry to keep than it
will yield happiness. But whether we
are rich or poor. we canbe desirable"
only by cultivating broad spirit of
democracy in our hearts, considera-
ton for everybody rich and poor, for it
is what we give in this way that keeps
the soul alive. Governor Hoard.
