THE OLD CIRCUS MAN'S STORY

How the Great Giant’s Singing Voice Hit the People

“A very curious thing about the greatest of all giants,” said the old circus man, “was the difference between his speaking and his singing voice. “His speaking voice was that Cf a man of ordinary stature; his singing voice was In keeping with his own gigantic size. And we never discovered this ourselves until he had been with us for some months, not in fact till the end of the first season with us, when we’d gone into winter quarters. “We were sitting, the old man, the giant and myself, in that room that I’ve told you about that we had fixed up for the giant by taking out a sec-ond-story floor and so carrying a ground floor room up through two stories to give the giant head room—sitting tfiere one evening about a couple of days after we’d come in from the road, and pretty soon we heard the cook, over in the kitchen at the other end of the house, humming a tune; and then the first thing we knew we heard the giant singing it. And singing? Why, you never heard anything like It; and nobody would have believed, If he hadn’t heard It, that anybody could have such a voice. “For comparison it was like the roar of Niagara compared to the sound of a little waterfall over a stone in a brook. Sound? Why, I thought it was going to make the walls bulge and blow out the windows. And it wasn’t a harsh, rough voice, you understand, either; it was a good, smooth voice; not the most beautiful voice you ever heard, ** but still a smooth, round, deep voice of the most amazing volume, vastly greater than anything you had ever dreamed of In a human voice, and It made the old man and me sit up In wonder. “And when the giant stopped we found the whole circus was standing around outside the headquarters building—animal men, canvas men, drivers, the whole outfit had come up to hear the giant sing, and these were men, you know, accustomed to strange things. We had 80-odd acres in our reservation, but you could hear the giant’s voice in the furthest corner of It, and I didn’t know then.how much further beyond; and at the first note of it men had stopped their work and then they had all come to listen. “As I was saying to you, you could hear the giant’s voice all over the reservation, and I didh’t know how far beyond; but we soon found out about that. The village was only about three-quarters of a mile away, and on still nights and when the wind was right you could hear his singing then plainly; and it didn’t exactly scare the people; t»ey all knew the giant and they all liked him, fcut they all went to bed early, and that wonderful sound coming to them after they had gone to bed did disturb ’em somewhat. And so the old man got the giant not to sing after pine o’clock at night; and that winter he had him practice up on a nudiber of songs, which of course he was going to have the giant sing under canvas in our next season on the road.

“In those days, you know, we used to give a concert after the show; send around men before the last act selling tickets for this concert; and then when ,the show was over people that hadn’t bought tickets would pass out, and those that had would stay to the concertj and sometimes half the people would stay, or maybe only a quarter of ’em; but whatever we got that way was velvet, and what the old man was going to do was to substitute for the music and slngipg we used to give In that concert singing by the giant. And he didn’t miscalculate, for the first thne the giant sang everybody stayed from curiosity, and after that they all stayed, everywhere, because they wanted to. “We used to stand the giant up on a platform built around the center pole, with the band around him, where there was plenty of room for him and where everybody <ft)uid see him. And the band would play a tune through, and then a flourish or two, and then the giant would sing, with the band accompanying him. “And he’d get the people from the first note. It was a wonder just to see him standing there, but it was a far greater wonder to hear him sing. He didn’t make fun of it, you understand; he took his singing seriously, and so did the people, for so tremendous a voice had never been heard before, but it was not unmusical, and altogether it came pretty close to being awe-inspir-ing. “You see, the giant was by far the greatest man ever seen, but his voice was far greater still. Great as he was, the giant was yet a man like ourselves, in human form, but hla voice seemed something more than human, and it ia an Interesting fact that In all the concerts the great giant gave he was never once encored. People were drawn as by a fascination to hear him sing, we played to capacity from the beginning, there never were before or since such concerts, but there was something about this colossal, stupendous, reverberating voice that, as I said, was more than human; and while it didn’t exactly scare ’em, any more than it did those folks living out there by our winter quarters, yet one song was all they wanted. “And it sure was wonderful. As 1 look back at the great giant, great as he actually was, he looms up to me now greater than ever; he was a wonder In many ways, but I guess the most wonderful thing of all about him was his singing voice.**

Absent Minded.

Col. Charley Coey, the president of the American Federation of Aero Clubs, is credited with this story of an aeronautical pilot: “He is really too absent-minded to pilot a balloon. He used, you know, to be a railroad conductor, but he had to give up the work; he was too ab-sent-minded for it. too. "On his train one day, as he passed through the cars taking up the tickets, a joking passenger, instead of proffering, his jJasteboard, solemnly proffered his forefinger. “Never noticing anything out ot the way, the conductor punched a little chunk out of the side of the finger and passed on.”

Pipe Dreams.

Up in the choir loft the row -of painted angels which ornamented the apex of each organ pipe started down into the pit of frivolity below. “Ah,” gushed the tall soprano, as she gazed up at the remarkable looking seraphs, “aren’t they dreams?" “Yes,” murmured the short tenor, as he disagreeably spurned with his foot the double pile of hymn books which he stood upon to secure the dignity of height, “but, like all other angels we know anything about, they are only pipe dreams.”

Pat and the Ghost.

An Irishman was relating to some friends in London how one night on retiring to bed he fancied he saw a ghost, and having a gun ready at hand he fired at ft. Next morning he examined the object he had fired at and discovered It was his own shirt. “What did you do then?” exclaimed one of the company. “Begorra,” said Pat, “I just went down on my knees and thanked Providence I wasn’t inside It. so I did.”

Time Saver.

An old millionaire refused pointblank to lend SSO to a bosom Triend. “Well, I did not expect that of you,” 'said the would-be borrower, rising and 1 ' preparing to leave Indignantly. “I will never forgive you for this refusal.” “Of course, you won’t, my dear fellow,” replied the old screw, with the utmost calmness; “but if I’d lent you the SSO you wouldn’t have paid me, and we should have quarreled about that; so it’s as well to get the row over at once, flood morning.”

Ready to Operate.

“Oh, doctor,” exclaimed the nervous young wife, as the eminent surgeon entered the sickroom, “if an operation is necessary we want you to operate immediately! Expense Is no object at all.” “We will operate at once,” replied the eminent surgeon, without looking at the patient.

Encouraging.

Mother (in a very low voice)— “Tommy, your grandfather is verysick. Can’t you say something nice to cheer him up a bit?” Tommy (in an earnest voice) — “Grandfather, wouldn’t you like to have soldiers at your funeral?” — Lippincott's Magazine.

Art and the Money.

“An artist,” said the man with pointed whiskers, must not think about money.” “I suppose not,” answered Mr. Cumrox. “Every time I buy a picture the artist wants enough to keep him from thinking about money for the rest of his life.”

Was a Sure Thing.

“What’s the old lady doing now?” asked the old stocking in the work basket. “She’s getting out her needle and yarn,” replied the scissors. “Well, well,” exclaimed the stocking. “I’ll be darned.”

In the Divorce World.

New Neighbor (in Chicago): Good morning, my little dear. I saw you out walking with a very fine-looking gentleman last evening. Is he your papa?” Little Girl: Yes, sir, an’ he's one of the nicest papas I ever had.—New York Weekly.

Effect of Prohibition.

“How did prohibition work in your country?” “First rate,” answered Col. Stillwell. “The health of the community has improved. Since the accepted remedy Is not available there is not near so much chills and fever.”

One Reason.

Stella—“ Clara says she loves Tom well enough to marry him.” Mabel—“ Then why don’t she do It?’ Stella—“Oh, I guess Tom believes in letting well enough alone.”

Irony.

Luncher —“Is this meant to be shortcake?" Waitress —“Yes, sir." Luncher, (sarcastically)—“Then for heaven’s sake take it away and berry it.’’ —Boston Transcript.

Like a Clock.

"Our business is all run down.” "What shall we do?’’ “I guess we’d better wind It up.”

Not Very Fresh.

“I went to a burlesque show last evening.” ’’How was the olioT* "Rather rank.”
