When the big top comes down for

a VOID remaining in the breast of the

type, that is hard to fill, in fact cannot
be filled until the next season brings
the Robins and red wagons once more.
The big circus that closed the season

rendered by the band more than they,
because it sounds the dirge OF the close
OF the show for the time being, and
ushers in the thought Of separation.
No Rosy Pathway
Life with the circus is not all a path
way strewn with roses, although there
are many pleasant incidents connected
with life under the bg tops that makes
it alluring.
The average citizen knows little an>

because Of this indifference, has a mis-
taken idea of circus people and prone

Oftimes a number of performers ap-

and the older kids. They get good money
as team, and they save that money
for the most part investing in a good
farm in some of the northern states
and more often farms than farm, as
their wants are few on the road, their
tastes simple as anyone living a celan
life Graves less of the luXuries than
one use to the bright lights, and the
money that would naturally be spent
in riotous living is invested in paying
real estate, not wild cat oil stock OF
salted mines.
