 Doubtless when the Hagen beck-Wallace Shows come to town you are going. Not that I care for such things" you may say to your neighbor, "but the children want to and they must be amused" That sounds well 1; but suppose just for once you be strictly honest with yourself. If you do that you will say: T am going because l want to bring back a little joy that was mine in childhood's happy days"

THE CIRCUS THRILL.
Visions of Paradise For Little Folks By the Hagenbeck-
 Wallace Shows.

What a thrill the simple word "circus" sends through the heart of the man who is still a boy beneath the shell that lis battles with the world have giv- en him. That the circus of the past generation has Oecorae the gigantic moving city of canvas covering a myriad of features is exemplified in the Hagenbeck- Wallace Shows which exhibit here September g, and what vision of paradise and joy su- preme are these greater amuse- ment enterprises.
 Sweet memories of childhood how oft recalled, and among them stands out prominently in the minds eye the circus day as the star of all gladsone holidays that passed. Do you remember how you watched the men put ting up the posters, those facin- ating announcements of the joy to come? Do you remember how you fell over their buckets of paste in your desire to be the first to see what the aerial ar tist on the next sheet was going to do? No fairy story ever ap- pealed to you as did those bril- liant pictures on the billboard, fence or barn. To be spoken to by one of the actors was glory enough to offset the securing of any job that would allow you to walk into the tent without pay ing your money for the privil- edge. You were proud of your distinction and you hugged it to your bosom as you joined the procession and trod the tanbark path into the big show. Peanuts and pink lemonade was food for the gods combined! You went to the circus expecting to be a reckless spender and no petty economy could hold you. Out in- to the glare of the sunlight you came after the concert was over, blinking like an owl in the day time. Of course, you walked, yet you felt as though you were floating on wings through crowds in dream. The lot on which the circus had spread it's tents was transformed into some thing new, and strange, and fas- cinating. You forgot that you had ever played ball on it; you did not recognize anything about it; even the streets in the dis tance seemed unfamiliar or turn ed around. But joy complete, and permeating every fibre of your being, was yours. Though you must go back to humdrum existence tomorrow to school, or doing the chores about the house this they could never take away from you. You had seen the cir GUS apd for days after you would live it over again and again, waking or sleeping You probably attempted some of the less difficult feats in, your own back yard with long stockings for tights and 9 tIapese made of a broomstick and the clothes
