Why mi Old lliickelnr Was Deprived of !: Knjoy mi-iit of (lie Circus. The trouhlo nd tribulation ol ti old fellow, who mill retained the fondiicH of childhood for the circus I tliu rulutrd by the Seattle, Washington, Telegraph ,,It is surprising how paternal men he- come when circu coiiich to town jThty must be fatherly to become chill Mi. Yesterday friend of mine do. sinus of vWting the Kiidicate Show H'lil iiiohI of the forenoon trying to 'borrow a boy, to lake to the circus.' He confided to me that the circus wa one thing that made the blood thrill in hi veins, but hi dignity would not permit him to attend one without utrcieiit ex cuse as he had no children of his own he was forced to hunt up somehody w ho would loan him a child to take to the show. He said: 'Hut the strangest part of it all is that I was unahle to get one. Now, you would imagine that there would be plenty of children around anxious to see a circus, and you would lie right; but the supply did not equal the demand. Hy actual count I went to twelve of my friend who have groaitig boys, and reipiextod that I might give the little fellow miii pleasure hy taking them Without a single exception they thanked me very much for my kindness hut they were going to take theui them selves. Now I feel very foolish going to circus without a clill.l with me, yet I do not know of anything I like better. It bring back the old days when I was in the country barefooted lsy follow ing the parade, hiking with wonder ment at the lone elephant plodding along. The smell of the sawdust, the cries of the pramit and lemonmin men are as pleasant to me as the new-mown hay and singing birds. They are the chemicals which develop the unseen image which is Uhii the plate of memory, and comes forth In all it glory, Hut I misxed all this, for, thanks to the same feeling in the hearts of my father-friends, all the available 'excuse' were taken up. (iomvM'lf? What do you take me for? Do you think I would allow anyone to think I would enjoy such a thing us a circus? Never. The old fellows in town should take warning from tho above, and have a "kid" already borrowed ere the arrival of the New Great Svndicate Shows and Paris Ilipisxlrome which is billed to exhibit at Oregon City Monday July 15.
