CIRCUS DAY, MONDAY, MAY %

The circus is coming, holding many
interests for every member of the
family. For example, little Willie's
behavior has been beyond reproach.
He has seen the flaring posters an
nouncing the coming of the circus
and nightly chores are done with a
precision which has caused mother to
take particular notice. Willie has
felt the thrill.
The circus is an American institu-
tion-it is a recreation for all classes.
Seated side by side the youngsters OF
the rich are just as delighted and
can gain no more enjoyment than the
poorest orphan, and the daring feats
of the bareback riders. thrilling aer-
ial acts and wholesome comedy OF
the clowns fall alike upon eyes and
ears.
The special train bearing the
Campbell Bailey Hutchinson Combin-
ed Circus and Wild West will arrive
in Mt. Sterling at daybreak Sunday,
May 2S, spending the day in our city.
The glittering mile-long free street
parade will take place at MONDAY
and there will be two complete per-
formances at 2 and p. m. Doors
will open one hour earlier.

"24th. Sunday To dinner, my land
lady and her daughter with me and
had mince-pies, and very merry at
mischance her young son had, in tear
ing of his new coat quite down the
outside of his sleeve in the Who'll cloth.
Then to church, and placed myself in
the parsons pew under the pulpit, to
hear Mrs. Chamberlin in the next pew
sing, who is daughter to Sir James
Bunce, of whom 1 have heard much,
ard indeed she sings very finely"
Mince-pies We're certainly Pepys
favorites. His wife seemed to have
gone to great measures to provide her
husband with his mince pie. In Dec
ember, 1866, ne wrote:
"25th. christmas Day) Lay pretty
long in bed, and then rose, leaving
my wife desirous Of sleep, having sat
up till four this morning, seeing her
maids make mince-pies. I 70 church

mince- pies; only my wife, brother, and
Barker, and plenty Of good wine OF
my own, and my heart full of true
Joy; and thanks to Goo Almighty for
the goodness of my condition at this
day."
In 1867 Pepys spent Christmas eve
at the Queens chapel and there wit
messed a religious presentation of the
advent Of our Lord. He mentions ms
amazement at the mixture of the
crowd, there being many footman and
beggar with here and there fine

q dull sermon OLA stranger which
made me sleep"
A year later we find that Pepys went
to church as usual on Christmas day.
but that the following day he and his
wife and a group Of friends found
merry bowl with singing at an ale
house,-the good old wassail mention
ed in Dickens and again in Irvings
tale of Bracebridge Hall.
In the year 1862, there was Christ
mas giving. just as there is now, and
the tipping Of servants. On December
gath Pepys writes, This evening Mr.
Gauden sent me against Christmas, q
great chine of beef (whatever that
may be- and three dozen tongues. 1
did give s, to the man that brought
it and half crown to the porters." !"
On Christmas Day Pepys heard
sermon on the text, GLORY to God on
high; on earth peace, and good will
towards men," Later he says, Il
walked home again with great pleas
ure, and there dined by my wife's bed
side with great content having mess
of brave plum -porridge and a roasted
pullet for dinner, and I sent for a
mince pie abroad, my wife not being
well, to make any herself yet" Evi-
IDENTIFY his wife soon recovered for she
was able to join him at a theatre party
on the 2Sth of that month.
Many times Pepys held celebration
before Christmas. Thus on the Gath
of the month (1665) we find he made
this entry:

finally took a coach after drinking
some burnt wine at the Rose Tavern

fOf course you know that Samuel
Pepys wrote his diary in cipher, and
that it was some two hundred years
before it was deciphered. Due to the
fact that it was written in shorthand,
he could write intimately of the hap
penings of his day, in a way he would
not otherwise have dared. Hence the
lively interest we feel in his Diary,
