the police, and the firemen came with the extinguishers and brgan to throwchemically charged water into the room, and the police dragged out the fat woman, who had fainted, and the living k-'.- w hom '..a! puile S down into her lap. and laid them out in the ring and then they su hold of ra and pulled him out. and the bearded woman had fainted in pa's arms, and the stove was tipped over und was

Bo pa wnt to the office and nt for them, and 1 was there as a witness, in caae of trouble. The fat woman came In firs' and there was no chatr tig no ugh for her, so she sat down on a leather lounge, which broke and let her down on the floor, and pa tried "to help her up. but it was like lifting .a load ot day. So he leined her again.-, ithe wall, and said: ( "üadame. the manag, nient has detailed me to censure you for losing flesh, and I am buliudai to say if you do not manage to take on about Co pounds more Mesh before the show at arts on 'h road, jou don't go along What you .vant to do is to eat more Starchy fool, and ?leep more at night.

Finally they were sent to their quarters, and the other owner of the show came to pa and said h hope 1 this would be the last of that kind of business, as long as pa remained with the show, that one of the rules wax that no man in an executive capacity must under any circumstances take any liberties with any of the females connected with the was ho ami said when women g..t crazy in ; v no man was saf and the other owner of the show said that was all riuht this time, but not to let it oerur auain. and pa tried to explain how the bearded woman came to jump on to him and faint in his arm, but the owner said: 'That is all right, but you can't hold 'em in your arms before folks." and then pa offered to whip any man who said he was in love with any Warded woman, and he pulled off his coat. Just then I tarn along and told the whole story, and then the crowd all ha 1 a food laugh, and pa took them

Just then the living skeleton rtme in. and whn be saw the fat woman sitttnjr on the floor crying, and pa talking soothing to her and telling her he could appreciate her condl tlon. Va'ise he had been in love some hisself, the skeleton pushed pa away and took hold f hor fat hand and tried 4o lift It. and said: "What is the matter Ith my tity tootsy act sy, and

April 21 We are getting acquainted with the animals, and it is Just like going Into society. There is the aristoeracy, which consists of the high born animals, the middle class and the low-down, common herd, and when you go among the animals a strangers you are received Just as you wonid be In society. If you are properly Introduced to the elephants by the elephant keeper, who you. ta for your stauding and honor, the elephants take to you all right and extend to you certain courtesies, same as Nostif people would invite ftj to
dinner t ut if ) n wander arouud and sort of butt in. the tk i l.ants arc on to i iu a miiuiU' and roll their eyes at you and look ttpou you as a corn"fOfl n. ' and if you attempt any familiarity tha? took at you as much as to say: "Sir. I am not allowed tc i late with any except the 400.' Then they turn tlmr back and act mi much like sh ddy aristocrac y that ou would swear they were- human. I remember when pa was first in the i U phant IMHIls, the kOSfST forgot to tell the big elephant who pa was, and shoo the ksepei raiood up um foot of the elephant and examined a corn, pa went up and DtOOsOd a bunch on the ' ;diant'? Kg and saul to the keeport "That looks to me like a spavin," and he Bebbed it hard. Well, the elephant groaned like a boy with a stone bruise on his heel, and before pa knew what was coming the elephant wound his tr ink under pa and raised pa upon '....: 'as going to toss him In the air and catch him as he came down anl walk on bim. when pa yelled nVJrtoi sod the keeper took an iron hooK ai. 1 hooked it into tho elephant's skin and said: "Let that man. down.'' and he let pa down easy, and the KSS per some way showed the elephant that pa was one of the owners of the show, and that elephant acted jBSl as human as could be, for he fairly toadied to pa, like a society leader thai has given the cold shoulder to some one that is as good or better than they, or like an Impudent employe who has insulted his employer and is afraid of losing hts job. After that whenever pa an i 1 go arouui the elephants they ww down to us. and 1 think I could take an iron hook and drive an elephant anywhere. There are all classes among the animals in a menag.'1'ie the same as human society. The Ilona are like the leaders of society who are well born and proud, but poor. They are always invited everywhere, but never entertain, though they kick and find fault, and osk i n rybody, and look w ise and distinguished. The sacred cattle are too good to litre and pose as the pious animals who do not waut to associate with the bad animals and are constantly wearing an air of I am holier than any of you," but they will reach through the bars Of th it t ace and steal alfalfa from the Yak and the mule deer, and if they kick about it the sacred cattle look hurt and act like it was part of their duty to take up a collection, and they a sort of hymn to drown the kicking The different kind of goats in a menagerie are the butters-in, or thf new rieh, who get in the way of the kfCj leaders and try to outdo them in society stunts, but they smell so that the other animals are made sick and the goats are only tolerated be .ause animal society is afraid to of fend them, for fear the leaders may MNM time go into bankruptcy and th' goats will take their places and never let them get. a smell of the good things of life. The bears are the working pKple of the show, and the big grizzlies are the walking delegate who control the amalgamated association of working oears. an.! the occupants of the other aires have got to cater to Uncle Kphriam. the walking delegate, or be pla.i I 'ju the unfair list and .-lugged. The hyenas and the Jackals, and the Ol?, represent the anar hists who IfO down on eT.e7body in the show, who won't do a thing to help along and won't allow any other animal to do anything, and who seem to want to
urn anil slay, to carry a torch by night at. l peesoa by day, and want verythlng in the show to be chaos, rhose animals ate never so happy as when the wind and lightning strike the I., and blow it down, and kill peoau 1 ereare a panic, ami then tkh... anarchists sing and laugh and enjoy i heir peculiar kind of animal religion. The isbraa and giraff-s are the dudes of the show, and you can Imagine, if thy were human, they would play tennis and golf, drive four in hands am! pose to be admired, while b. Hoya". B tigers, if they were half human, would drive automobiles
at the rate of a mile a minute- on crowded streets, run over people and never stop to help the wounded, but skip away with a sneer, as much as to say: ' What are you going to do alxmt It." The seals are the clean cut Baptists of the show, who believe in Immersion, and they have more brain than any animals in the show, because they live on a fish diet, though they have a pneumonia cough that makes you feel iike sending for a doctor. Gee. but last niirht when we thought sjartag had onie and we could start on the road prey soon, the snow fell about a foot deep, and it was so cold that all the animals howled nil night, and shivered, and went on a regular trjke. We had to put blanlcets on them, and no one of them seemed to be comfortable except the polar bears, the arctic foxes and the fat woman. The other owners of the show thought it wa a good time to take the boa constrictor and pull an ulcerated tooth. . ause ho was sort of dumpish, so pa and I helped hold the snake, which Is about 2' feet long. Ta was up near the snake's Imad, and when the man with the forceps got ho!l of the tooth and gave It s ank. the confounded snake come r and bet an to si and on his head an thrash around, and pa dropped his aOM and carted to climb the center pole, but he got caught in a gasoline lonh, and they had to turn a hose on pa and IN was awful scared, 'cause be always did hate nnakes, but they gave the snake chloroform and got him quiet, and pa cams down, and they gave him a pair of baggy trousers belonging to the clown, to go to dinner in, and pa was a Ht
F.rLATLD OF RACES. The Japanese lover, Instead of an engagement ring, may give his future t-nde a piece of beautiful ulk to be worn as a ash.

After the metal is u.lued and UK Ited. it is formed into a fine wire, which is woven into cloth, and utterwar. Is used for dresses. A Japanese auction is a solemn affair. The public do not call out their bids, but write their names, together with the amount they are willing to pay. on slips of paper, and put these Ifl a box. They are looked through, and the arth Ii M awarded to the person who has made the highest offer. It is considered correct in China not to have the slightest rsebllectiOfl of anything that occurs during the p rlod of mourning. A Chinaman who has passed 100 days in mourning for his mother will deem it bad breeding to remember anything during so MsCfOd a time.
