old forget ho is old, and so uuUcrt-al is
this inclination that thu gravest and
stadiest and stateliest and haughtiest of
men aru justified in going to the circus.
Hy thu way, Mr, Sells, who is himself a
tiger tamer,'says then? N a great deal
more honor and respectability almut a
royal Hengal tiger than there is ulmut a
linn, the king of beast". He says you
may tamo a lion, get on friendly terms
with him, and then some morning with
out thu slightest provocation liu will
turn and rend you ; but if one ever gets
tho contldence of a tiger, a real royal
tiger, when ho agrees to Ihi friendly with
you, ho will keep his word for life. A
circus is a great animal study. It Is a
gixnl study for the artist, too. Tho way
the muscles a re put on a tiger or a lion
is a study. They mean the concentration
of iower in tho smallest possible space
where they will do tho most good. The
man who does not like a circus is one
who is going into his shell.

The Circus at Baker City.
Tho Sells & Gray circus will lie in
Uuker City next Monday, tho lfith. A
great many will Ih scornfully saying
that it is thu same old show it has been
for fifty years, but every ono of those
will bo seen early at tho tent, for tho
fascination of a circus that begins in
early childhood clings to poor mortality
so long as it has eyes to seo and ears to
hear. It is a good thing, too. It dis
tracts mnn's attention from tho cares of
tho world. Tho older a man gets tho
moro pleusuro ho gets in seeing tho
young enjoy tho pleasures of a circus,
no, mutter if it is tho same wonderful
girl in thu same wonderful tinsel that
turns tho same somersaults through tho
same hoop uion the square buck of tho
same saddle that is on thu same gray
horse. There is a now flavor to thu old
jokes on tho part of tho clown. There
