AL Miaco, the veteran among the clowns.
and members Of his family have been
invited to sit In box some night soon.
In the hurry of giving two shows a day
for the millions and millions Of persons
who insist on viewing the circus In
operation. the freaks were not thought
of when the invitation was handed out
to Al.
Yesterday afternoon Dexter Fellowes,
who as a part time employee of the
show has won the affection of all the
freaks, was given what might be called
the low-down by Zip. Zip was sitting
down in the freaks smoking room when
Fellowes dropped around to see him.
The poor freak was rubbing his chest.
which is a sign that he Is annoyed, If
not chagrined. Fellowes asked him
what was the matter and Zip gave him
the sign that he was sore. Zip made
some more signs.
THAT meant Tn sore clean through

to see the show from box" Fellowes
translated nimbly.
Zip nodded his head vigorously and
threw away a fine fifty-cent cigar Fell
loves had given him. and turned his
back on the crowd, all of which was
taken to indicate that he intends to get
square with the Ringing Brothers and
Barnum folk by. doing something mean.
Fellowes was worried last night lest
Zip should open the window of the bed
