Did you ever carry water for the
elephant for a pass into the mysteries
Of the big tent" back in the SOS?
Or did you, all alone on your pallet

night after night, review your plan Of
procedure and bolster up your coug-
age until, in a spirit Of daredevil bra
yado, you crawled under the canvass
and braved the fury Of the husky CIR
Gus shili" who bounced you?
If you succeeded in catching
glimpse Of Dan Hart, the clown and
his "yaller dawg," you felt amply re
paid for the pain and embarrassment
incident to your hurried departure,
Tic you see Dan in the old days?
Well, he's still clcwning.
Still in the Ring.

A Perfect Man.

There are many men below par, and
few that are perfect. You should have
ambition, nerve, energy, vigor; but
instead you feel tired and exhausted;
weak back: inability to concentrate
your thoughts; memory poor. Your
mind does not act as it once did. You
are restless, nervous and irritable.
You are gloomy, discouraged and
want to be alone. You are not the
man you used to be. The right sort
of treatment will put you on your feet
again. See DR.. Kutchin, the spec
ialist, you can consult him with per-
feet confidence. He has been visiting
this county for eighteen years.
DR.. Kutchin's next visit to Green
vile, will be on Thursday, Sept. 10,
at the Turpen House. Consultation,
examination and advice free.
