 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 gladstone 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 embark path into the big show. Peanuts and pink lemonade was food for the gods combined! You went to the circus expecting to be q 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 a 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 i'll 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 a humdrum I,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 and 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 a trapese made of

The Great Art Of DYING.


To die without rebellion and without
weakness is the masterpiece Of a man.
A mountain guide whose name the
London Mail does not mention in mar
rating the story of his heroism, with
two others, was leading a party over
one Of the most dangerous passes Of
the higher Alps.
The men. as Is usual, were tied to-
gether by long rope. As they scaled
a wall of ice they slipped on the edge
of frightful chasm. The guide was
at the end Of the rope.
Without his weight there was
chance for the others to regain their
footing; with II his experienced eye
told him there was none. With in
stant courage he drew his knife from
his belt and said quietly to the man
next him:
''Tell mother how 1t happened, Ed
m0nd."
He cut the rope and fell. never to be
seen again

HOTELS IN PORTUGAL.
Paying ons's Bill Their. Becomes a
Duel In PoIitsnsss,


When travelling for the first time In
Portugal one is apt to become exas-
perated when he desires to settle up
with his landlord at the hotel. When
the traveller asks how much his bill is
the landlord bows graciously, smiles
suavely, rubs his hands together and
replies that the bill Is as much as the
guest wishes to contribute.
This Is simply the opening Of duel
of pollteness, for the harde ed traveller
at once thanks the landlord for bis con.
fldence in him and again very courte-
ously asks for detailed statement Of
bis account Still the bill is not forth
coming. for the landlord declares that
he does not wish to insult his guest In
any such manner. Finally the land
lord does reckon up the charges on his
fingers. When he has finished he asks
the traveller how much the sum total
is. II the traveller hasn't kept track OF
II the landlord very laboriously goes
over the account again. II the guest
has footed up the bill the landlord Is
sure that 1t cannot be so much and In
sists on a re-reckoning. The result is
the same. and the landlord invariably
needs to bring two or three more fin-
gers into use for items that had been
accidentally omitted.
Needless to state, the traveller not
hardened to this process breathes
deep sigh Of relief when he escapes" :"

complained again and met with the

ameer was treating a serious matter
with less consideration than 1t de-

no more on the subject. About a week
afterward he was invited by the ameer
to ride with him. They rode for some
distance outside the town. and shey
