tions inviting me to break up the bob cat business. The manager of the menagerie told pa he wished the confounded bob cat would escape, 'cause he was a blo ming nuisance, so I thought I would help get rid of the beast, and save the fhw fr m disgrace. So when we got to Oberiin I

The Man I ickled Pa,

th )'ght th it was a pious community that co lid stand a wild lob cat, so 1 put several sheets of sticky tanglefoot fly paper In the bob cat's cave and opened the door of the cage, ai'ter the crowd had gone into the main tent to the big show, and the menagerie tent was empty except the keepers. They were ail Mletf under the wagons, and the animals had all curled down for a nap. and th freaks were on their platform lolling around, waiting for the main show to be out so they could do their stunU over again. The hol) cat got all his four feet In tl ta&fl f t fly paper. thn he I i.i'.bvd a s'.ieet in h.s i:o.;;h and rolled over in a few more sheets, and when he was entirely harmless and you couldn't tell what he was. I opened the door of the cape and he went out like a renket, and rolled over a few times in tne sawdust, and thn Jumped cn the platform with the freak. run vor the fat woman, who was laving

cried, and the midget Kai l to him: "O. you big stiff, why didn't ycu have said enough to hold the kitty till the

and no gall to speak of. why a big man

Is liable to be walked all over by aerva little man who Is spunky, and

gets mad and froths at the mouth.

I nave neou having great tunes with the monkeys, and I guess the mauler will make me superintendent of moukeys 'cause thtf all seem to be stuck

on me, and will do anything I ten wswj

to. Pa says they think 1 am MM new kind of a monkey, and they look up to me. I lead out the big monkeys that ride the goats and dogs, and have a horse race in the ring, and fasten them on the little animals, and when they ride around the ring on the dogs and goats and ponies, they keep looking at me as though they wanted my approval. There It one little monkey that sleeps nearly all the time, and I played a trick on pa with It that like to got me arrested and licked by a man

who was mad. A man and woman with a baby In a little wagon were (D ing through the menagerie, and It was crowded, and they left the baby and wagon in pa's charge, near the monkeycage, while they went to see the hippopotaaMM. Pa is the most accommodating man about holding babies that ev.r was. The baby was asleep when its folks left it In the wagon with pa, but It wuke up while they were gone, and pa took It out of the baby wagon and carried It around jus; as he would at home, and showed It the animals, and held i: up on his shoulder, and 1 took the little monkey and put it in the baby wagon, and it went to sleep, and I put a veil over it, and was standing by the wagon talking with a peanut butchor. when th arems of the baby came back, and the woman raised up the veil to see if the child was asleep, when the monkey woke up and put its hairy hands up to rub Its eyes. The monkeys looked up at the woman with beady eyes au 1 began to chatter, and she yelled and her husband took a look at the monk.

and he was mad. They could both see It was a monkey instead of a la' y, and they asked where the old man w ith the chin whiskers was that they Wt the baby w ith, and the peanut butiber said: "What, that old guy with the ( h i kered vest? Why, he has gone with the baby over to the lion cage, where they are feeding the lions. Don't you see him holding the t aby upn his shoulder?'' By ginger. I never saw two people sprint the way they did. cause 1 guess they thought pa was sure cra.y, and would give the baby to the lions. But I told them the old man was all right, and would bring the baby back, and if he didn't they could have the monkey, 'cause I didn't want them to think they were going to I be losers while attending our bhuw. Then I chucked the monkey under the chin and said: 'Maybe this is your baby, 'cause they change wonderfully when they get into a show." We'.l, I Just had time to put the monkey back in the cage when 1 saw that couple surround pa, and the woman 1 grabbed the baby out of his arms, and , the man tackled pa around the legs be

low the knee, and threw pa down under the ostrich cage, and said: "You kidnaper! I am a good mind to rh"ke the life out of you," and he squeezed pas windpipe until pa's tongue run out. when a canvasman came along and hit the man in the ear. and he ' laid down near a zebra, and the zebra kicked at the man and hit pa, 'cause a zebra Is cross-eyed and kicks like a woman throws a stone, and no man knows where it listeth. Pa got up to murder the man thru choked him. when the ostrich reaOsV 1 i Its head out between the bars of the race and picked pa's big diamond stud Ol his shirt, big as a piece of lock candy, and swallowed it. and pa said that's the limit, and he called the manager and asked him how he was going to get his diamond stud out of the ostrich. The manager told pi j to go to the dressing room and ask the : woman who has charge of the. wardJ robe for the ostrich stomach pump, and when he got the stomach pump the

manager said the ostrich would cough up the diamond stud. Pa went off to the dressing room to get the ostrich stomach pump, and I knew there was going to be trouble, 'cause I thought the manager was just stringing pa. Well, he went up to the woman In the dressing fjo ;.. and said he came after li r stomach pump. rich size.
