~ Will you please write and say
- whether there is a God or not? A man
told me there isn't any. I asked the teacher,
and she said she didn't know, as some said
there was and some said there wasn't.
Mamma says there is, but papa says he doesn't
know anything about such things. We boys
have had debate about it and thought we
would ask you.

After Ringing Brothers had alb
soribed the Barnum & Bailey show,
perhaps a dozen years ago.. it was
found dersirable tO use only one
winter quarters for the combined ag-
gregation. The Baraboo encamp-
ment was too small, besides it had
been found that for a startoff Ia
the spring New FORK City possess
ed advantages over any western
town. The upshot of the matter was
that Bridgeport, Conn, the old Bar
mum wintering place, harbored the
great combination, and Baraboo the
old home town Of the Brothers, be
came practically Ringlingless.
There were reasons why the Ring
ling winter quarters covering, more
than two acres Of land on the banh
of the Barab0o river, possessed a
fine sentiment in ghe little city
The "Quarters" represent in concrete
form the development Of the great
show. The buildings were started
as much as 35 years ago, when the
menagerie, arena stunts and SIDE
shows were halAled from town to
town on wagons AS the enterprise
spread and developed, new buildings
we're added, until the plot of ground
was completely covered. All without
architectural plan or design-a new
arm was needed, it was thrown to-
gether and put to use. Some OF
these have come to look very Shabby
but the sentiment in Baraboo for the
Quarters" persisted and it is still
strong.
Until very recently there has been
nothing stirring about the abandon
ed quarters, except the caretaker,
Otto Lee, and his duties have called
for no strenuous effort But of late
the silent waters have been stirred
and a new life seems to have been
nut into the deserted group Of build
ings. Half dozen of the structures

ties:
In the Baraboo Weekly News of
January 81, 1924 a letter from my
old friend, Fred Noyes, Erskine,

cannot get along without the News.
This reminds me, that although
over thirty five years ago l left Wis

something to tell me, of the where
abouts of old friends there and in
whose lives / still have interest, or
sadder, informs me of their death.
For instance, the copy mentioned
gives me news of Fred and also of
the death of Andrew Prentice in
