THE SHOW WORTH WHILE.

The other day Barnum's circus gave
u special performance at Washington
for tfree.year.oid Vfnson, the $780,
10000 son or Ed Beaie Mclean. How
would you like that, sonny?
Now don't say you'd like It. for
chances arc that you wouldn't. You
are no slOO,OOOOOO boy and In order
10 enjoy having a big thing like Il cir.
Gus all TO yourself you would have
TO get used to flocking by yourself.
You have TO be born 10 1t or carefully
educated to It before sou can really
enjoy things all to yourself. The
pleasure that is unsharcd by others
would you like that. sonny? +.
Doesn't your apple taste better whca
you've given some school friend a
bite OF It? Sure! And It is 50 With
all the good things of life. Pity the
poor boy who has to try to have 4
good thing all to himself, for he misses
one OF the very best things in life and
that's to see others enjoying good
things with you. They're going to
give this little 100000 900 kiddle good
things all 10 himself right along. every
thing that money can possibly buy.
But the best things in life arc things
that money cannot buy, and later on.
when this Mclean boy tires OF all
things that money can buy. he'll be
trying In vain for those better things.
Son, let little Vlnson have his cir.
Gus all to himself without envy on
your part. You just carry water for
tho elephant or get into tho. tent by
any other Legitimate means and Gu,
joy the peanuts. the pink lemonade
and the good time all the other fcl.
lows are having. Such show is
worth while.
