whlned Willie. Jarr as soon as his
father came home the other evening
"An' wanna go, tool 1 wanna go,
tool" cried little Miss Jarr.
''Oh, dear. these children are al
ways wanting something - they're
never satisfied" whlmpered Mrs.
Jarr.
That's what I say" remarked Mr..
Jarr. Besides. they saw the big cir
Gus last year and circuses are all the
same"
yet a year makes a big difference
to children" ventured Mrs. Jarr, as
the children began to moan. "and the
admission is cheap-and Willie and
Emma have been good to-day"
"Ah, l see you want to go your
SELF" said Mr.. Jarr.
II do not" replied Mrs. Jarr, but
all the children in the neighborhood
are going and I don't see why our
children can't. And you must take
them. They can't be out at night at
circus without some older person
along"
'toh, very well, then!" said Mr..
Jarr. 'But don't see why have to

you take them!"

But II was finally decided It would
be necessary for both parental moni-
tors to so to take care of the chill
dren.
Then Mrs. Jarr suggested that Mr..
Jarr better 20 purchase the tickets
right away in good time for the night
performance, as the circus lot was no
great distance away.
"Oh. wen have plenty OF time to
get them tonight II we 20 a little

That's always the way with you!"
said Mrs. Jarr sharply. "You put of

when Mr.. Hughes won out in the
preliminaries and semi finals and
Wilson carried Off the trophy in the
finals.
SIT was like this: The Horses Neck

whom could handle an inclpient holo-
caust on ten minutes notice-but
good, reliable summer home, garage
or cow-barn firemen. One was an
timer, the other a comparative
newcomer, a commuter who has only
lived there eight or ten years.

Jarr. But II you don't go now !
know all the best tickets will be SOLD
and we should be there early as the
children like to see the animals"
"oh, we'll be there in time," said
Mr.. Jarr. This little circus won't
have much OF a menagerie. and even
II they don't see the animals they can
see monkeys and elephants and all
other sorts at the zoo anytime"
ut isn't like seeing them at the cir
Gus, where they can feed them pea
nuts" said Mrs. Jarr. "and they win
want to see the giant and the blue
man and all the freaks. You know
how children are. Do you think I
would bother myself about the circus
II 1t wasn't for the children"
''Well. get them dressed and let's
have supper and hurry on" said Mr..
Jarr.
Mrs. Jarr looked puzzled.
Little Emma has such a cold tnAt
she certainly can't 20 out in the
night air, circus or no circus" she
said. And so, she'd cry her eyes
out'if Willie went and she was left
behind. oh. why didn't you say mo-
to them! Can't we go some other
night?"
IL think this Is only one night
circus" replied Mr.. Jar.
"If that's the case, we'll have 10 20
tonight" said Mrs. Jarr. ''Of course,
1 don't care to 90. but we'd better 20
and get through with it,"
So on this basis Mr.. and Mrs. Jarr
and the children went to the circus,
all the way Mr.. Jarr discoursinE on
how crazy he was about the circus
when a boy and how he had made
up his mind to run away and become
a bareback rider.
Il used to think II was the grand

thing in the world. and now 2

Coming out, after the performance,
they met Mr.. and Mrs. Rangle and
the Rangle children.

"Well, we only came on account OF

II fills their heads full OF desire 10

this no more clrcuses, the movies are

After much oratory on both sides
a ballot was taken. The eighteen
