Why He Went.

“I thought you told me you did not intend going to the circus, Mr. Jarphly?” remarked Mr. Goshorn, interrogatively. “Well, you see, I had to,” replied Mr. Jarphly, apologetically. “I grew tired of those things years ago. They’ve lost all interest to me. They’ve got to be wearisome and monotonous; but the children’s fond of them, just like you and I used to be when we were children, and my little boy wanted to go, and I didn’t have the heart to disappoint him. ” : “But 1 didn’t see any little boy with you.” “No, poor little fellow, he was taken sick, and I thought I’d go, so I could tell him how everything looked and not disappoint him altogether, he’d set such stcre by it, you see.” —Pittsburgh ■ Chronicle.
