LURE OF THE CIRCUS.

Upon Old Performers.
Sometimes l think there must be
two distinct varieties of humanity,

we might call the rovers and the other
the stay at homes. With my own taste
for rowing it was hard for me to IN.
derstand that n%inety-nine persons In
every hundred are content to stay In
one place most Of their lives and even
are unhappy If taken out Of it. but
there are such people, and they are the
vast majority. The rover, who is one
man or woman in a hundred, likes to
wander and is unhappy if confined to
one place. Probably If 1t were not for
him there would be no circus. Love

would have been passed by the lithog-
rapher as understandable. but it had a

in to take up the order. 1t developed
that the tailor's brother was a rover

into the country tonight. My brother
pays me good wages here. and there's
nothing in t%rouping."
A week later l dropped back to the
show. 1t was 10 in the morning. and
the parade was just leaving the lot.
Somebody shouted. Hey there. Mixer

He had heard the band play.

they will turn and denounce their call

never knew a man in any line who
