The king of beasts was plainly
bored. He bared his fierce fangs in a
pav.rnnm yawn. The two-horned
i-hinnoornim was a Dier-eyed statue of
stupid ennui, and the little leopards
sprawled asleep like so many very nice
tabbycats. Every day was circus day
for them, and this particular day was
sultry, to boot.
But the slothful disposition of the
big menagerie, when Ringling: Bros.'
ticket sellers began their spells yester
day, in no wise served to disenchant
tha. ' thnimsaTiria of Portland children,
young and old, who entered Noah's ark j
and happyland at tne price 01 a mau
blue tickets.
Nay, had Father Noah himself been
there. It seems reasonable . to assume
that the old gentleman would have
called the roll for most of the passen
gers who sailed for Ararat on the
misty morning of the record high
water. There were emus, heavily
feathered birds who are cousin to the
ostrich, and there were ostriches yearn
ing for tin cans and oranges. And
there was a picket-line of elephants
like those Kipling tells about In the
Jungle Book great hulking, amiable
beggars who shamelessly wheedled
peanuts from their admirers.
LauicMnS Hyena Won't LidkV.
But the laughing hyena wouldn't
laugh. Gloomy and restless, he and his
family were, mottled dog-beasts that
paced Incessantly or sat in silouhettes
of desert gray, the unloved and unlov
able pariahs of the tent. Restless, too,
were Tom and Jerry, whose sweeping
stripes of black against tawny pro
claimed them of the royal Bengal line.
They spat and hissed like disgruntled
tomcats of the back alley, while the
Nubian lioness In the next cage con
veyed her contempt for such manners
by a eldewise glance of sleeply superi
ority. There was the water-buck that Teddy
used to write so casually about, but the
dik-dlk was marked by his absence.
Yet Africa has dealt liberally with
Ringling Bros., for In one somnolent
hunk she had bestowed the veritable
behemoth of holy writ. The hippo
seemed free from care, her back awash
in the great tank, and it took a second
glance to make sure that the quiet
bulk had breath in it.
They hated to leave the Jungle-folk,
did most people, when the fanfare of
trumpets and the um-pah of the band
announced the fairy pageant of Cin
derella in the big tent. And Cinder
ella Mnryrl of Air Perform.
Say, did you ever have a fairy story
happen before your very eyes? Have
you seen the little maid in the ashes,
with the cruel stepmother and the
haughty stepsisters frowning and scold
ing? Before those thousands of delighted
folk yesterday Cinderella, of the good,
old cloth-covered books, came Into her
own. Hundreds of actors and actresses
there were, ranks of halberdiers and
hosts of velvet horsemen, and knights
In armor, and court Jesters past all
counting. Be assured that tumult be
fitting royal nuptials rose when the
little white slipper fitted the foot of
the good little girl.
And, speaking of royalty, the bluest
blood of acrobatic ancestry furnishes
the three-ring thfllls that bring amaze
to Ringling Bros.' audiences. Lithe
they were, and sure of eye and nerve.
Under the big top they played dizzily
with disaster that never befell.
Clomu Parade Ln Profusion.
And there was one girl ln blue and
silver who left the arms of her trapeze
mate in a straight plunge for the
massed tiers far below. People shrank
from the bolt of her body. And, lo, she
was caught ln midair, swinging and
smiling. And there a reckless wight
who sped down a steep strand of wire
on his head. And girls who rode with
the sangfroid of spangled sprites, yet
whose rounded arms were muscled with
the strength of steel.
And clowns you couldn't count 'em.
Nobody tried to. for that matter, for
they raced and tumbled and pranked ln
a merry Jumble that was past all
understanding. And the boys and girls
shouted at them, and quite forgot to
watch the gifted chap who was worst
ing three men at a time in Jui Jltsu
zasnion.
Children. Tonic and Old, Agree.
Shuffle them all together, then, ele

their cousins, Japanese Jugglers, and
white horses and fearless animal tarn
ers, spangled ladles and gentlemen at
home on a whirling rope ln the upper
air, add the band and the squawking
vendors of ice-cream cones and lemo.
and you have the three rings ln full
swing. But you haven't the circus. If
you weren't there. For the circus, as
any 10-year-old can tell you, is some
' thing that must be seen to be under
stood, and he will add his sympathy for
your misfortune.
One carries a certain regret away,
out of the stifle and hub-bub and Into
the fresher air, and carries it with the
assurance that some thousands of
others are registering the same plaint.
Strive as you may, glance hither and
thither as you will, ln the phrase of the
younger generation "You ain't seen

Mule of Old-Time Tunes to Be Incor
porated, and New Steps Will Bo
Originated.
The vogue of acrobatic dances, of
wild gymnastics on. the ballroom floor,
are to pass by the decree of the Ameri
can National Association Masters , of
Dancing, now assembled in convention
in New York.
First among the crusaders for more
refined standards ln dancing is Mose
Christensen, of Portland, who Is now
ln New York as president of tne asso
ciation. Mr. Christensen is the pro
prietor and principal of Chrlstensen's
School of Dancing in this city. In an
interview recently given to the New
York Evening Telegram, the Portland
dancinc master outlined his views.
"There is no question that the people
are heartily tired of the slapstick,
slam-bantr style of dancing," said Mr.
r-hriHtensen. "and are anxious to re
turn to something akin to the digni
fied steps of the past. We are going
to give our united support to this Idea,
with the intent of making social danc
ing polite, simple and dignified. Of
course, the "Jazz band' style of dancing
will survive, at least for a time, be
cause it Is wanted by certain classes
who desire their dancing to be ac
companied by noise and excessive con
tortions, but ln the ballrooms the ob
jectionable style will be taboo.
"There is no doubt that the war will
have an influence upon the American
da.nces for the coming year at least.
and not only will some of the music
of the old-time war tunes be worKea
Into the new dance music, but some or
the dances will be given war titles. I
understand that many of our teach
ers have originated new war nnji.
and these will be tried and the very
best adopted. The probabilities are
that thl3 year the association will
standardize at least three dances, which
will be taught alike everywhere, from
coast to coast.
"Incidentally the standardization of
the leading dances has been needed for
a long time. The name would be the
same everywhere, but the teaching
would be different in various places.
This was confusing to persons who
learned the steps of a certain dance
ln San Francisco, only to find them
selves at sea when trying to do the
same dance in New York."
The convention met August IS and
will continue Its session, trying out
new dances for adoption, until Septem
ber 2. Mr. Christensen will remain in
New York until the close of the ses
sion, and will return to Portland with
the steps which are to be popularized
the coming season.
