STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMPUS
THE CIRCUS
By Farmer Smith
Wasn't II funny?

Wasn't II funny?
Billy Bumpus swallowed four feet OF
garden hose and when some one turned or
the water il filled him up SO that he could
hardly walk, When the little boy got hold
of him he was surprised to find Billy SO
easy to lfad but the next day when Billy
was himself again. it was all the boy could
do to get anywhere near him
He kicked
He hutted everything near and far
1t was only after "A hard tussle that the
boy was able to hitch Billy up to his little
wagon and start down the road with him.
Everything in town seemed hustle and
hustle. There was an air of excitement
which Billy liked, for it reminded him of
the army, How he longed to be back there
amid the roar of the cannon
BY and by the little wagon stopped by the
side of the curb and Billy waited with his
new owner. They did not wait long. Soon
there was the sound of n band and Billy
laughed softly to himself "Ha, That re-
minds me Of the time I ate the head off
the bass drum ! really do believe we are
going 10 nave some excitement"
Sure enough.
First came a band and then the rest of
the circus procession. Here and there a
clown came along and Billy looked at each
one and laughed, After the procession had
passed, Billy trotted along behind il. much
like going so fast. for one thing and he
was afraid of losing Billy for another.
In spite Of all the boy could do Billy
trotted faster and faster until he came to
the ground where the big tent was pitched
When Billy caught sight Of the tents and
heard the noise and clatter. he began TO
run all the faster. and the first thing he
knew tho it;o red wagon was overturned
and the boy wos spilled on the ground.
whats the matter?" asked the clown,
running up to where they were.
'Bo-hoo -boo-hoo This wild animal has
upset me-" cried the boy,
"Never mind" said the clown soothingly.
"I will give you ticket to the show for the
goat and we will take him with us. We are
used to fellows like him"
"I-I-wil let you have him for two
tickets" replied the boy. who was not TO be
outdone.
"Make Il two, then" said the clown, taxi
ing a niece OF paper out OF his pocket and
scribbing a few lines on II.
BE sure to take good care OF him, wont
vou." pleaded the boy. who was kind
hearted at all events.
Don't YOU worry, me lad, we'll give him
tho hest of care and attention. II he mis-
behaves we will turn him over to the ele-
nhant-he loves GOATS"
The boy took his departure. pulling the
little wagon after MN
THE clown took Billy and led him into the
tant and then returned for his red shirt, He
could not find 1t anywhere, so he went back
10 the tent and when he caught sight OF
billy he looked at him hard Sure enough.

TALK about peacock feathers meaning
- Ill luck! Isn't it funny how these silly
old superstitions do work out sometimes?
A certain young lady we all know pos.
sessed some time ago hat trimmed with
peacock feathers, and, what is more,
most gorgeous lot of peacock feathers
And to say it was becoming would put 1t
mildly. So she refused, as any sensible
person would, to listen to the gloomy
predictions Of bad luck and wore it per.
sistently.
After a while she began to notice, how.
ever, that that hat always did make her
miss train or something like that, SO she
decided to get rid Of 1t and packed it in
missionary bundle. (She pictured to
herself the delight Of some obscure little
heather when she beheld that same
feather; and as for superstition-well,
that kind only exists in civilized coun.
tries)
But, 10 and behold after the box had
been sent, didn't she miss brothers" best
overcoat? And, heavens! Suppose he found
it out before she got it back, or, worse
still, suppose she never got it back!
Well she hastily wrote for II and the
box was saved from the heather and
opened, and the overcoat was returned;

KEEPING UP THE
GOOD WORK

Road building is a good bit like re-
ligion. II takes some one continually
pounding away to keep people work
ing at il. An evangelist can come
in and stir up a lot Of enthusiasm and
procure n lot of good resolutions, but
II takes somebody on the job all the
time if results are to be shown.
There is nobody opposed to good
roads, but a whole lot Of fellows are
perfectly willing to put off from day
TO day, ven unto eternity the doing
Of anything to bring about better con-
ditions.
II has been said that a certain well
known winter resort is paved with
good intentions. 1t is equally true
that the entire state Of Illinois land
all the other states, for that matter)
is regularly and very frequently paved
with resolutions of hot air. And all
we need is the machinery for trans
forming this surplus into a durable
surface that will stand the contact
and impact Of modern traffic.
OF course, you agree with these
statements. What you want to know
is: "What have you to suggest?"
Our plan to remedy this condition is
for you or someone else in your com
munity to make it his business to
work at it. We have made the state
ment before, but it will bear repeating
as often as one gets a chance to i'm
press II upon the people, that every
community has just as good roads as
it deserves. When they want good
roads bad enough they will build them
and they will never have them until
they are fairly converted TO the fact
that the only way they can have them
is to get busy.
Don't go around asking people if
they are in favor Of good roads. You
might as well ask them II they are in
favor Of good weather or good crops.
Study the question; get a common
n program adapted to your com
munity lined up, and then ask them if
they are in favor of doing that par
ticular thing.
Once you have a compact group Of
active citizens behind a particular
program, you are going to get action,
and action is the n thing worth
while in the whole matter.-Beaver
County Weekly Press.
