the latter being preferred Inasmuch
us Saturday Is pay day. The poetical
allocution comes In good, because jve've
aM got to go to see the circus, and
some of us have affected to put away
childish things and those of us some
that lack the Justification of little onea
to carry along are atrlctly up agalnat
it lest our reputed dignity suffer. For
we must see that circus.
In the balmy sunahtne of this per
fect day, there Is only one disappoint
ment about this circus. There’ll be no
parade. The Bsrnuin & Ballsy people
advance pretty good reasons for not
having parade, but argument doesn't
satisfy aoul hunger.
And—here’s a tip cn A queer charac
teristic of the people—there were hun
dreds of .men, women and children of
Atlanta who came up town and hung
around in the streeta for hours Fri
day morning waiting for the circus
Parade.
In all of the advertisements, the
Barnum A Bailey people said plainly
that there wouIB be no parade, In ev
ery newspaper story printed about the
coming of the big show, It was posi
tively set forth that this feature would
bo lacking. But
"Whet, No Parade?”
Who ever heard of a circus without
a parade, any more than an ele-liant
without a trunk? said vox popull Into
their own ears. And to prove the ab
surdity of the paradox, the popull
cam» to town and stood around, first
on one leg and then on the other, un
til afternoon, when they caught cam
and went out to Jackson and Wheat
streets to sec what was the matter.
Did you ever see a circus unload?
Home years ago, when the Greatest
Show on Earth was touring Europe,
Prince. Bismarck wntched It unload.
Then he said to Der Kaiser:
"Hoch. Willie, I thought der Gen
army had some discipline though, but
those guys cat) give us cards, spades,
and big casino and win tho pot without
dealing from the bottom. Hadn't you
better hire the boas and let him try to
put a little system Into the Imperial
cohorts V
It's sort o' like this:
Two or three trains, of about thirty
cars each, come chugging In, each
pulled by a double-header. Before
they come to a full stop, 20» men Jump
off the platform and out of windows
and start running In different direc
tions like two football teams right
after the kick-off. In ten minutes a
hundred horses and a• score of ele
phants are at work pulling and push
ing big wscilts, stakes ore being driver,
for the tent, thirty cooks aie running a
Titanic restaurant, and the work is on.
For three hours there Is to the un
skilled eye such a chaos of cnnfusloi
as was never seen, when suddenly there
comes a lull, and the clrcut Is ready
for the performance, whereupon the
spieler takes a throat spray to loosen
