happened to be out digging up dam
| delion flowers for my annual con-
coction of spring tonic, when all OF
] a sudden from out of chaos came
the rumbling of the drums and the
waeezy, corny sounds Of the old
calope What was it? Why, the
circus had come TO town. Being
from the country, | couldn't resist
the temptation to follow the call to
| go; SO | did. Vending my way
among the foul but sweet-smellling
manageries, walked up on some Of
my other country friends who, too,
had felt the urge. Can you imagine
v. T. Lewis Walters in dusty shoes,
smacking popcorn while her sister
enjoyed the amusing actions of the
crowd. In the very center of the
| midway stood the McLouds and the
Edwin Robinsons, looking bedrag-
gled with necks and eas stretched,
being entertained by the barker.
couldn't afford the big show, SO |
just opened my collapsible seat and
watched the men and animals all
day working. | stayed until the last
bit of cheap finery was put away for
the next years show and the slow
poky train moved away.

fish. What happened? The three
little fishes and the mamma fishie,
