ported to his father that the Ringing
show was the best equipped one and
the cleanest that he had ever seen.
And while I cheated a lit+lr, IL not

Forepaugh show ever knew 1t. Young
Forepaugh also told his father that
that man Delavan was the creates:

CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much blood disease
as scrofula or rheumatism. It may
be relieved, but it cannot be removed
by simply local treatment. It causes
headache and dizziness, impairs the
taste, smell and hearing, affects the
voice, deranges the digestion, and
breaks down the general health. It
weakens the delicate lung tissues and
leads to consumption.
Hoods Sarsaparilla goes to the
seat of the trouble, purifes the blood,
and is so successful that it is known
as the best remedy for catarrh.
Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens
and tones the whole system. It builds
up. Ask your druggist for Hoods,
and insist on having it. There is no
real substitute.

LIGHTS ON
CIRCUS BUSINESS
GAINESVILLE Gazette)

1T was back in 1889, which I think
was the first year that the Great
Ringing show invaded the eastern
country. It was along in midsummer
when l got a route Of the Ringing
show and saw that they were billed
to show Titusville, Pa, on Monday
and we, the Forepaugh show, we're to
show in Oil City the same date. i'm
mediately wrote the Ringlings and
also "Delayan," boss hostler, that I
with three or four other friends would
drive over and pay them visit on
Sunday. I also notified them not to
let anyone know that we were COM
ing and if they ever had their show up
in "apple pie order" for inspection,
to have it that day. But l did not
let my friends know that accOmpa-
MED me that they were expecting us,
but I did want the Wisconsin show
fit to look at.
We arrived there between 10 and
II o'clock, drove onto the show
grounds, which were located on the
banks Of the river, which gave them
ample water to wash up all the cages
and horses. SO that they would be at
their best. When we walked into the
horse stables, all the horses were
groomed like race horses, their har-
