Sookie's bed.
"You couldn't come to me and so
came to you," said the Dreamland
King.
II know that all Of you children
have been dreaming Of the circus
which has come to this big town now
you are wondering how you will
be able to get there because you know
Little Falls herald. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1889-1950, 1922-04-21

that you're not to leave the hospital
for little while yet, and you don't
know whether you will miss the circus
or not.
You are very much afraid it will
have left town by the time you leave
the hospital.
But I've come to tell you some
thing. The circus is coming to the
hospital, and this dream is going to
come true.
1.-THE clowns and the beautiful la
dies, the bearers and the elephants
will come. The old calliope will play.
"They will all come in their very
best costumes. too.
"And all Of the children will be
moved near the windows and on the
piazzas of the courtyard where there
will be circus for the sick chill
dren.
"Ah, yes, Sookie, you are going to
see the circus. For you have heard,
perhaps. or perhaps not, of the little
boy Jay Rial?
"He was the one who loved the cir
Gus SO when he was boy that he said
If ever he became rich he would see
that just as many boys and girls saw
the circus as he could possibly ar
range to have see it.
"Well, he became a part of the busi-
ness management of the circus. The
Dreamland King doesn't know much
about business management, but it is
most important. Jay Rial tells the
people in advance when the circus is
coming to town, and he tells the news
paper people to write in their newspa-
pers of all the new things in the cir
Gus.
But he hasn't forgotten that he al
ways said he wanted just as many
boys and girls as possible to see the
circus. He hasn't forgotten. So many
forget what they plan to do when
they grow big, but Jay Rial didn't
forget. He will never forget.
HE has the kind of a heart which
the Dreamland King calls the Thought
full Heart.
"And he has asked the clowns and
some of the other performers and the
animals to give circrs for you hos
pital children who can't come to the
circus yourselves.
"See if this dream isn't going tt
come true!" Ia 5s-s. H.. 4ss..>

Monday, June 10, will witness
the close of the primary cam
paign unique in the history of
the state wide primary act. On
that day political history will
record the finish of a state pri-
mary in which less money has
been spent, in which more candi-
dates than ever before known
have been registered, in which
the element of apparent interest
on the part of the. voters has
been lacking to an extent that
would ordinarily give the aver
age King Maker heart disease
and yet in which final results are
more easy of determination than
any campaign before attempted.
Election Fed Up possibly ex-
plains the apparent apathy of a
majority of the great army of
Minnesota voters and satisfied
their failure to get excited, for

counts for anything June 10Th
will see the acceptance by an
overwhelming majority of prac-
