Millions OF people in the United
States will mourn his death. For
twelve years Toby has reeled on and
off theatrical stages and platforms
under circus tents much to the de-
light of the thousands of people
who saw him daily. Some of the

ones and so well did he know how
to do the drunken act that drunk or
sober he did not make the least
mis.step or leave out near fail.

clown that ever drew breath took
his last drink somewhere between
Coalgate and Lehigh Sunday. His
mistress and several others were en-
route to Dorset Carter's coal mines
when Toby took a deep breath, leap

rying across country. Don't worry,
said Miss Daley, his owner, he will
find his way back to the circus lots.

back with a good sized jag wher
no one else could find a drop Of the
precious liquor anywhere. Because
