JIMMY
REACHES
MANHOOD

Jimmy Clabby. Hammond's pet little
prizht fighter. is. 81 years old today
and his friends are congratulating him
and wishing him well. Although hns
fine record as an athlete and as a pri-
vate citizen have entitled him long
ago to admission TO the ranks of men,
there Is no longer a technicality in his
way to question his right.
Within the last few months Jimmy"
has mentioned the fact repeatedly, that
he would reach his majority today
This is due to the fact that he has a
keen sense of manhood and pride, for
while he has battled under foreign
skies and all over this country he was
still only a kid but not SO now
That he has pondered over some of the
privilege that accrue with the 21-year
was evidenced today when he was ask
ed what ticket he expected to vote at
the first opportunity.
Il shall vote for the man and not the
ticket" was his prompt reply.
Jimmy made the change of his
civic status with his usual quietness,
which is one of his distinct character
istics- He enters up on his 21st year
with clean record in his private life,
and an enviable record for the squared
and -roped arena. He is pledged to re-
main on the water wagon for a long
time to come. and 1T has been so long
since he tasted liquor that he has
forgotten its taste At his 21st year he
is generally accepted as the welter-
weight champion.
Jimmy Clabby has an invitation
from OFFICER Oscar Borchert to spend
the evening with him. and held the
latter and his son celebrate their birth
days, Officer .Borchert being 81 years
old today, while his son is IL.

had charge of the legal end of matters
OF that character. stated that he would
welcome movement to widen the
street providing the property owners
want it.
Other property owners are favoring
the project and 1T now looks as though
II would have easily Shedding. Every
body regrets that it is now tob~1ate
to widen the street west of Oakley
avenue. an Improvement that could
nave easily been made five years ago.
On the south side of State street east
of Oakley avenue, there are only three
or four brick buildings that would have
to be moved. The cost would not be
considerable.

COUNTRY BOYS CHIEF JOY
is LITTLE ONE1RING CIRCUS

PITY the poor child of the great city"
This has become a trite observation
which is now obsolete and has been dis
carded by those who are acquainted with
the real conditions. The city child, espe-
cially the one Of the poorer class, often
has advantages which the little ones of
the rural districts are denied. Public
Fairgrounds, parks, swimming pools.
summer schools, and the supervision of a
parental city government In the matter
Of home life, have robbed metropolitan
ships.
But there is one summer Joy which
shall forever remain the individual pos
session of the child in the country and in
the suburbs. The city child knows naught
OF 1t. except in rare instances.
1t is the annual visit OF the one-ring
circus. Dozens of these little tented
amusement organizations are touring the
land. proclaimed by gaudy and hyper
bolic posters, and, on the day of arrival
by dubious melody from a brassy brass
band. 1t is these tiny itinerant compa-
niss which still manage to send the old
time circus thrill through the nerves
Of the country boy and give him the
golden opportunity of fetching drink for
the elephant. or else sneaking under the
bottom of the canvas.
The entertainment provided Is on a
modest scale, but 1t suffices for the youth
full spectators, who. 1t may be conjec-
tured. enjoy the few trained animal and
athletic numbers Of the little show fully
The Washington herald., 1911-07-23

as well as the vast whirwind Of imported
and expensive talent that is provided
by the great three-ringed "circus trust
on the event of an occasional visit. The
"menagerie" may consist of nothing more
than a single cageful of monkeys, and yet
the impression on the budding mind will
be fully sensational as II a whole zoolos-
ical garden were unfolded to blunt the
growth of his imagination.
And the clown, The one-ring circus
has a real clown on its staff, one Of the
old-fashioned, greatly mourned sort OF
testers, who carries a comic song book
and who cracks Jokes with the stately
ringmaster. always scoring first in their
interchange Of wits. Here is a case Of
real hero worship. where boyhood bends
ness without following the bloodthirsty
course OF the usual Juvenile idol.
Not the least of the pleasures attend
ing a small circus Is the hilarious after
math. Following its departure, the small
boys discover that the circumstance Of
a circus ring is neatly traced out On the
grass with a circular mound OF earth
and tanbark in accordance. What bliss
there is in getting UP a make-believe
circus In a real circus ring. TumbIing
and turning somersaults in this arena is
g pastime which will not wear out for
days. although the performance Is not
hitchless, owing to the wrangles as to
who shall be ringmaster and who clown

greatest shows.

to be driven from the ONCE to which he
brings discredit or disgrace. There
would be nothing revolutionary or
dangerous in tho practice were 1t
adopted. Decisions are frequently re-
versed or recalled by the higher courts;
then why not recall the man? If the
finding OF Judge is held to be against
the law, It is set aside by machinery
provided for that purpose. The man
himself, think, should be thrown out
of office IF he Is delinquent morally. or
distorts justice to some evil end.
