The circus with its jingling music and
atmosphere of mirth and wonder has
made a place for itself in American life.
The multi-colored poster, hung so allur-
ingly on the roadside barn, catches the
eye of the small boy as he wends his
way homeward from school and makes
him late for the evening chores. Its ex-
travagantly worded and deliberately pic
tured promise of scenes of splendor and
mystery arouses in his sanguine mind
rapturous determination Ito see that
show" 1t develops in him a spirit of
thrift and propensity for economy that,
If maintained throughout his after life.
would make him rich.
The tented city, coming In with the
gray dawn, rising spectrelike out of the
mist. revealing its wonders during the
day and then disappearing in the dark
ness, is almost like some trick in magic.
The system by which all this is accom-
plished Is quite as wonderful as the as
tonishing things seen in the ring. The
circus men have perfected the routine of
their calling in every possible way They
have the adding machine in the ticket
wagon, the cash register at the door.
and they carry with them their own
portable telephone system and electric
light plant.
Before the circus comes to town more
than 100 men have preceded it to per-
feet all arrangements. They are con-
tracing agents, advertisers and inspec-
tors. One arranges for the railroad
TRANSPORTATION, one for the newspaper
advertising. one for the billboards, one
for the livery teams to take the billpost-
ers to the country, ETC., etc. The men in
advance have a world of details to look
after. They must report on the railroad
run coming into the town, as well as the

The bane of circus life is rain and
mud. When there is fair weather every
thing goes well. IT is like camping out.
With the sun shining. the dust flying,
and the country folks crowding around
the inexhaustible supply of red lemon

its people quite as happy In their life
as those in any other. Altogether 1t is
not a bad thing, not bad because It's
jingling music and its atmosphere OF
mirth and wonder serve to amuse the
young and drive away dull care for the
old, and anything which does this even
for a day is not without its excuse for
being. /

And the swing that the Jap and Dutchy
made,
And Captain Dinkey's lemonade,
And the prizes given by Domino
For walking fastest heel and toe,
And then the fortune telling play i
Which the Prince and Mufies gave that days
Made the greatest picnic ever seen;
Quite good enough for king or queen.
But the play that pleased the girls the best,
That they enjoyed more than all the rest
Was dress parade in Indian file
Along a path for half mile
Each clothed in Gypsy cloak and hat
And in the lead the famous cat
With purple cloak trimmed all in gold,
AS on they marched toward the cabin old
Where dear old granny lived alone,
To make her the queen on royal throne
While she would then her subjects greet
As each would kneel down at her feet.
BUT something happened that spoiled the play
At halfpast four o'clock that day.
It spoiled the visit to granny dear,
And filled the little girls with fear,
And frightened Dinkey and scared the Jap,
And chased away the country chap.
It came from the sky this something wild;
But Domino at the others smiled
And said that he would surely see
That the picnic ended happily.

With Muffles conferred as king
Just as the five were whirling round
Five school girls came to the camping ground
In bonnets red and aprons gray
With basket lunch to spend the day.
This is holiday one said,
"A teachers grandma uncles dead,
And schools dismissed, and out of sight
We've put our books till tomorrow night"
Then with laughing face another said,
"You see our bonnets all are red;
For we are five Red Riding Hoods
And we mean to picnc in these woods
And maybe hunt for hidden gold
And perhaps we II have our fortunes told."
Then all five laughed and made ring
And asked for Muf1es for their king
And danced around as the boys had done
And sang their songs and made lots of fun.
School boys and girls have lots of play
When schools dismissed for holiday;
But the play day at the Gypsy tent,
And the way that afternoon was spent,
And the games they had and the tricks they
played,
And the basket lunch eaten in the shade,
And the fun with Muff1es when his eyes of
blue
Controlled the girls and looked them through
And made them stand, or sit, or run,
Or sing, or laugh; all just in fun;

XII. THE DRESS PARADE

THE kite went up above the trees
And tossed and turned in the summer breeze
Then scared around time or two,
Then got up speed and of it few
Beyond the hills and valleys green
Till only the smallest speck was seen;
Then out of sight behind cloud
And a mile or two from the little crowd
Who stood together wondering when
They'd ever see that cat again.
Dinkey was scared too much to speak
And the Jap was saying words in Greek
And Dutchy scolded the boy whose kite
Had carried Muf1es out of sight.
But Domino was calm and kind
And the loss of Mufles didn't mind;

THAT cat of mine has master head;
He knows the maps of geography,
And the famous pictures of history;
He can read a little and some words spell,
And arithmetic he knows quite WELL
Of course not every kind of rule
Like boys and girls who go to school;
But he can count and multiply
And add column four figures high.
I know by many things he did
That he has heaps of wisdom hid
Somewhere behind those bonnie eyes
That look so blue and kind and wise;

With a favorite field glass at his eye
That he could see in a clustering gale

'But Mufies steering STRAIGHT ahead"
And the Prince was right for soon they saw
The kite o'erhead and Mufies' paw
Guiding the rudder as they whirled in space
To find an easy landing place.
They landed safely on the green;

LEANING TOWER SAFE
Pisa's Famed Structure Not

Prof. Goodyear.
NO MOVEMENT SINCE 1859

New York, Oct 27-Professor Will

interest yesterday concerning the
leaning tower Of Pisa. He has Sc

now on the way to the royal acade-
mics of Milan and Venice and the So

the alarming reports OF the probable
fall of the leaning tower OF Pisa. So
far as the United States is concern
ed almost equally wide notice is now
being given the fact that these alarm
ing reports are wholly baseless.
1T can be stated on certain au-
thority that, although the Italian COM
on the tower had obtained
from the British museum as early as
July % copies Of the original draw
ings of Cresy and Taylar made in
1929, yet on September II the COM
mission was still endeavoring to OBJ
tain a copy OF Cresy and Taylor's text.
At that date the text. without which
the plates were useless, was still un-
known to the commission. At that
date the members were still cropping
for the true facts, although they had
not hesitated as early as July s to
alarm the civilized world with the i'm
preston that the tower was going to
fall.
information Second Hand.
1.-THE point of the matter is that the
commission was obliged to know
what the inclination OF the tower was
when the first modern surveys were
made before 1t could state how much
greater the inclination is now. This
information had to come from Cresy
and Taylor. who surveyed the tow
er in 1917. and published these sur
veys in 1929.

ance in a Berlin theater. The nerve
of the young man got him through,
and while he may not have been adj

cause Of his Yankee assertiveness, yet
they did not attempt to disturb him

any of them.
Straus. the famous director, was to
give a concert. Young Knollenberg
was particularly anxious to hear the
famous orchestra and its leader and
upon going to the theater found that
every seat was taken. However, an
appeal to the manager of the house re-
suited in his admittance, it being ex-

stage and espied vacancy near the

Z A quart of oysters will weigh from
two to two and onefourth pounds, and
