! parade, and the animals In the cages i behind were yapping as though they knew what was g ing on. The elephant got down on to all fours, and we straightened up in the pasroda. and for a block or go tat beast only waltzed around. As we got to some sort of a public Bqrare. v. here there were thousands of pi!e, the stale beer seemed to be getting In its work, for the elephant looked at the people as much as to say: "Now I will show you something not down on the bills," and. by ginger, if he didn't raise up his hind quarters and stand on his front feet, right by the aide of a big fountain, and ho reached In his trunk for

s drink, when all of us on the pagoda, clung to pa. ami we all slid right off into the big basin of water. The fountain played on us. and pa was under watT. with the four Circassian beauties, and wasa we rolled or slid down over the elephant's head, be looked ot us and stnod to chuckle; What you grtting off here for, the show ain't half out " Well, the parade went on and loft the elephant and the rest of i a at the fountain, and to t-h w that animals understand each other and can appreciate a Joke, every animal that passed us gave us (he laugh even the hlpjopotamus which opened his mouth as big as a tunnel and showed his teeth and acted as though he would like to exchange tanks with us. The circus lasfJi that could be spared from the wagons cams to help its. and the citizens helped out the Circassian lseautiM who were praying to Allah, and wringing out their clothes and I crawled up on the neck of a cast Iron swan In the fountain. Pa yelled and talked profane, and told

em to bring a cannon snl kill the elephant, which kept ducking him with his trunk, and scabbing out the bottom of the fountain basin with na It

s med as though be net er would gt through ualng pa lor a mop. but finally tho people got a rope around pa. and a keeper got an Iron hook In ths elsphant's ear. and th.-y pulled pa out on one side, and got the tb phant nway on the other side, and Just then ths CSlltopS, thst en.ls the parade, came S) M and playt.l tho "BUM Osnube." and the elephant got on his hind feet and waltzed on the pavement They put pa and the fir. assian beauties in s patrol wagon and tk them to the sh 'w lot. snd I sat by the driver, and he lot me drive the team. 1'a had his sheik clothes rolled up around his waist, snd was wringing them out, and talking awful sassy, and when we got to the lot it took a long time to convince the policemen that we were not guilty of disorderly conduct, and Just then the elephant cams tearing by us. with the keeper on horseback behind him. pro.'.dlrg him in the ham every Jump with a sharp Iron, and he went through the side of the tent as though he was m.guty sorry he didn't kill us all. They made him get down on hla knoos and bellow In token of surrender, and then we all went and changed our clothes for the afternoon performance. As we passed through the menagerie tent, dripping, every animal set up a yell, as much as to say: "There, maybe you will give cayenne pepper to a pious sacred cow again, confound you." and that convinces me that animals are human. The last week has been the hardest ou pa of any week since we have been out with the circus The trouble with pa is that he wants to be "Johnny on the spot." as the boys say. and if anything breaks he volunteers to go to work and fix it. and if anybody is sick or disabled, he wants to take their ptaaa, as he says so he will learn everything about the circus, and be competent to run a show alone nex; year. But it was a mean trick the principal owner of the show played on pa at Canton, 0. You bee John L. Sullivan used to do a boxing act with this show, years ago. and everybody likes John, and when he shows up where the show gives a performance he has the freedom of the whole place, and every body about the show is ready to fait over themselves to do John L s stirIce. Well, Sullivan showed up at Canton, and he went everywhere, all the forenoon, and met all the old timers, and at the afternoon performance he was awfully Jolly. John wa3 standing beside the ring when the Japanese Jugglers were Juggling, and he leaned against a pole.

Pa came In front the menagerie unt, and he didn't know Sull van and when

he saw Sullivan hold ng th pole up. !

pa said to the boss proprietor that the fat man who was ln--r.ring with the show ought to be calld c'own o put out. The boss said to ra: "You go take him by the ear and put hm out." and pa, who Is as brave as a lion, started for Sub: van. and the bos winked at the othfr circus men. an. I pa went up to Sullivan and took hold of John's neck with both hands, and aaid: "Come on out of here." Well. sir. we ought to have moving pictures of what followed. Sullivan turned on pa and growled Just like f Hon. Then he took pa around the waist and held blm up under his arm. and picked up a piece or board and slatted pa Just as though pa was a child, and the audience Just yelled, and pa called to the circus men for help, but they Jus' laughed. Pa got a chance at the fat man and he bit him in the Jaw. but it did not hurt Sullivan, only made him mad. He took pa up by the collar and whirled him around until pa was Js 1 ty, and then he stsrted with him for the menae-rle tent, and called to the boss canasmant "Bill, come on and tell me which Is the hungriest lion. and I will feed him with this cold ; meat." Pa yelled 'canse he thought he was In the hands of an escaped lunatic, and the circus hands came and took him away. Then the owner told pa who Sullivan was. and pa almost fainted But finally, after breathing hard for awhile, pa went up to Sullivan and shook his hand, and said: "Mr. Sullivan yon must excuse me. If I had known you were the great J hn L . I would not have licked you." Sullivan looked at pa and said: "Well, yon an a wonder old man. and you did do ! me up " and pa and 8ulllvan became gr at friends. Since then pa is pretty che-sty. 'cause the circus men point

him out to the Jays as the man who whipped John L. Sullivan. Expert Smokers.

The Japanese are experts on smoke rings, and it is said in Japan it is considered no uncommon trick to blow three rings of smoke in succession, the second traveling through the first and the third through both. Some stage performers are credited with becoming so expert in smoke blowing that they are not only able to multiply the number of rings thus made, but actually form Japanese characters representing words anl sentences. One Japanese Juggler, it Is declared, proposed to his wife by forming the characters representing his avowal of love through a thin , stream of smoke.
