biggest show on earth, forgot her
neighbor and gazed intently at the
spectacle. The romp in the rings be-
gan and heads were turning like knobs
on piyots trying to SEES everything at
cnce. Bears rode bicycles, elephants
had a ball game, ponies were living
pictures, Cinnamon spun by their hair,
euuestrians did stunts, and acrobats
risked their lives.
Then came the clowns, a whole
dozen Of them. with their ridiculous
jitneys, baby buggies, airships and
patrol wagons. One clown in front of
them shaved another with a broom
and carving knife. Billy let out a
snort of glee and Sara Uttered. An
other. threw a rubber rock on an in
visible string in their direction, and
as they both lodged they bumped
heads The missile retreated after
coming within a foot Of them and they
looked sheepish. Another clown was
blown up with a bicycle pump until
he was as round as Billy Bounce, then
floated up in the air and exploded
terically as the seat of his trousers
caught on a trapeze and Zeppelin
rescued him. She felt that she would
go crazy if she couldn't say something
to somebody. What was that? Billy
was slapping his knee and declaring
that something was "rich.' Evidently
he was feeling the same way, when he
was babbling to himself. -
What silly geese they had been to
quarrel and what a gay, funny world
it was after all! -5g ..a
i Along came a steam roller, which
ran over rubes and picked up paper
shadows on a stretcher. Sara began
to giggle again and Billy looked side
wise in pleased approval. Their eyes
met in a rapture of merriment.
"Is-isn't it silly" laughed Sara
reaching for her handkerchief. Billy
caught the hand and gave it a sur
reptitious squeeze. Best thing ever
saw" he agreed enthusiastically. ri
was just wondering if we couldn't hunt
up our agent friend and get him in

THE PHYSICIANS WIFE.

Another woman accused Of crime
that of the murder Of her husband, is
adiudged guiltless by court and jury.
and Mrs. Mohr is a free woman It is
the expected that has happened this
time Nobody thought for an instant
that the accused woman would be con
yicted What woman ever is? Was
not Mrs Bonnie set free and scores of
other women against whom crime is
charged? This is a sentimental age.
and sentimentalism sways the jurors
where womanhood is concerned
But what of poor little Charlie Mohr.
The ten-year oil son Of the slain father,
and the accused mother. Is there any
boy who must begin life more handi-
capped than he? Poor little lad, he
was made to SPY on his father whom
he said he loved dearly; he was made
TO appropriate the little red book, of
which so much has been saidfrom his
fathers desk; he was sent to watch
The clandestine meetings of his father
and Miss Burger, the other woman in
the case. And. after all this, he was
put upon the witness stand to testify
against his father in behalf OF his
mother. wonderful child for his
years, ne begins life with this crime
ovorshadowing him, with the ghost of
memories of his murdered father. and
the pail of accusation hanging over his
accused mother What an awful handi-
cap for lad of ten years to start out
in the world! If fathers and mothers
who are responsible for children being
in the world would stop to think before
they drag into their shameless life and
career innocent little children, per-
haps the world would be better But
they don't
No jealous woman should marry a
doctor. for if she does her life will be
full of misery and unhappiness. A
doctor has more opportunities to
break the moral law than any other
man. If he does not avail himself Of
them, there are always some women
patients who viii see to it that he does.
The profession Of n physician should
make him one of Gods chosen crea-
lures, but that very profession is Of
tentimes his undoing The physi-
clans wife should be a woman of ada
mant. as cold as steel, deaf. dumb and
hliad. She should elimiante the word
jealousy from her vocabulary or her
book of knowledge of good and evil
Had Mrs. Mohr been such a woman
there would have been no slain hus-
band. no accused wife of the crime. no
dragging into court of her ten-year old
little boy.no life of remorse and regret
TO live down. But she was like most
other doctors wives of today, insanely
jealous of her husband, whose very
profession feeds and satiates that
green-eyed monster.
