TAKES THEM 10 CIRCUS.

Donald Harris is one of the kind
st of the old men about the city.
He always has his mind on the
young boys about town. His arduous
work in the Press and Banner makes
him like day of outing now and
again, an diff there is anything
which appeals to him it is circus.
He likes it most because he may al
ways take a few small boys with
him. Tuesday the thought struck
him that it would be fine to go over
to Greenwood to attend the circus.
The fact is that it had been striking
him ever since he read the first ad-
~ertisement about it, and it just
Kept on striking him, until he saw
t if he did not go he would be
compelled to take the count.
So he went and the following
small boys had their ears washed, a
clean handkerchief put in their pock-
cts, their noses fully blown, and
plenty of lunch, and went along with
him: Claude Gambrell, Jack Nc
Leskey, George Wood, Hugh Brad
ley, Paul Dickson, Ray Swetenburg,
Bill Nickles and Jim Cox.
All the boys had a fine time. They
bought a coco-cola around as soon
as they lit, got some goobers for
the elephant, went into the circus
two hours before the performance
started, wanted to carry water for
all the animals, were willing to
sweep up the floor, comb the zebra,
or twist the tigers tail, or do any
thing else which came handy to help
along. In fact they went over to
make the circus a success.
All the boys could tell more about
it at school next day than they could
tell about their lessons in a week,
but old man Harris was the same as
ever at his work; he just toiled on
and talked on and on.
