Chautauqua or Circus.

The manager was strolling about the big Chautauqua tent, which had Just been set up in a small Missouri town, and the boys were laying the plank seats, when the whir of engines was heard, and two automobiles appeared, racing furiously toward the Chautauqua grounds. They stopped side by side in the dust and smoke of heavily set brakes, and the drivers leaped from their seats and ran at top speed toward the astonished Chautauqua manager. Tm a butcher r* gasped the first , Tm a butcher!" cried the second. Then both together they shouted, "I want the contract to furnish meat for the animals!”—Youth’s Companion.
