Was so
Unhandy and clumsy and slow
to go
Where he had to do tricks
With a bundle of sticks
That they pulled him right out of the
show,
Although
II took twenty men in row.
But he got an engagement one day
In May
To walk on his hind legs and play

And now he is happy and gay,

And, besides, he earns much better

Mr.. Stoltzman replied that he is
not an officer, and suggested that
she make known her loss to the
proper authorities. The gentle voice
replied hat she did not care to re

on the circus grounds, as she feared
they were police in the employe of
the circus and would laugh at the
single slippered young lady's discom-
