If there were any words that rhyme vlth circus besides the Impossible "percuss" and “Jerk us" and "work us, 11 one might start oft this story u$th a dainty little ditty. "There’ll be no parade" and “pink lemonade" Just fit In line, hut "circus" Is one too numer ous for the Swinburne of the shop, so make the plain announcement mat— The Greatest Show on Earth has arrived In Atlanta and has unloaded lor a two dnys' etay In our midst, Frldsylng and Saturdaylng hqre, with two perrorinancea each day and the grand concert Immediately after the chariot race. Don't forget the grand concert, ladles and gents. 8", backward, turn backward. O time In thy night, and make us a kid again lust for tonight or tomorrow night, 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 SUITS Latest Models.
