BY GEORGE APE. i Copyrighted 1901 by Robert Howard Rus eell. A highly respected Pastor had a Son who was a Bad Egg. They could not drag him to Camp-Meeting and when they called the Roll for Thursday Eve ning Prayer-Meeting, Son was Non Et. He liked to wear a Red Sweater and read the Dife and Battles of John I* Sullivan. At last he sloped between two Days and his Father did not see him again for many Snows. One Day the Pastor wandered down to the Open Dot hack of the School House to take a sort of a Side Glance at the Greatest Show on Barth. The Pastor was only Human, and he certainly did Hone and Hanker to go in and study the Sa cred Animals, such as the Behemoth of Holy Writ, the Deopard that couldn't find anything to take out the Spots, and the Camels of Egypt, where the Israelites came from. But he didn't dare to go in, because all the Members of his Congrega tion were in there and they would have been Shocked to catch him taking a Shy A SIDE GDANCE AT THE GREAT EST SHOW. at any Worldly Pleasure. They were early at the Ticket-Wagon and stuck for the whole Shooting-Match, including the Grand Concert, but the Shepherd of the Flock had to stand out by the Cook Tent and listen to the Band. That was the Best he got. There was a large Commotion In front of the Side-Show and the Reverend Gen tleman edged around that way to listen to the Spieler in the Blue Box, who was delivering an Impassioned Eulogy on the Ossified Man. the Cuban Dady weighing the Enormous Weight of 760 Pounds, and ensweilng nil Proper Questions, the Hairy Rian from Madagascar and beauti ful Juju, Queen of the Serpent World. The Barker addressed the Park of Hu inanity as Neighbors, and he gave them • come-tilong Song that brought the Cur jency right out of their Clothes. When the Pastor drew nesr, he was amaaed to discover that the Bally-Ho Artist with the Fog-Horn Voice wss none other than his Don-Doat Son.

Third Floor The Modern Fable of the Gallus Barker and His Condescending Advice to the Governor. Wild Man from Madagascar Is a Coon Whitewasher that we picked up in Eouis ville, but If we placarded that Fact, it would dispel the Pleasure of seeing him tug at his Chain and no one would think better of us for Owning Up. They would simply say that we were not running an o,d-time, bang-up Side-Show such as they drove In to see. Suppose the Boss Dea con in your Congregation puts it in the Paper that he is letting his entire Stock go at Below Cost. No one swallows it, but is the Deacon called up for a Church Trial? Nay, nay, Pauline. On the con trary, every one says that the Deacon is a foxy Gazabe. But if he printed that he sold Goods for all he could get and hoped to Skin everyone who came into his Place, then People would say that he had the Willies and ought to be locked up in the Wheel-House. It was Mr. Barnum who discovered by Experiment that the American Public likes to be Humbugged, and since then over 1,000,000 Schemers have stolen his Process. Our Fellow-Citizens have become so accustomed to an open ing Bluff at least six times as strong as the Show-Down that they have no Re spect for a Player who never puts up a Bold Front with a Weak Hand. They tell him to hack out of the Game and make room for a True Sport. "A good part of your Danguage gets past me, but I am Fly enough to see THE CONGREGATION ADD INSIDE what you are driving at," said the Min ister. “Admitting tho Truth of all you say, do you have the supreme Face to stand there and tell me that this 1* a proper Calling for one who was brought up by Hand in an Atmosphere of Sanc tity?” "Why Not?" asked the Son.

"Fie, Father Mine!" exclaimed the Barker. "Think not that all the Nice Peo ple In the World live up In your End of Town. The Circassian Princess to whom lam engaged, Is a Perfect Dady.

"I feel myself Falling.” And he ran to Escape. MORAD: A careful Early Training is seldom wasted. The Cow. From Outing. We learn from sacred history and books of ancient writers that the cow, like the ox, originally was used solely for agri cultural purposes, at least, for many hun dred years, perhaps, before her milk was used as a product for household con sumption. It Is generally believed, also, that originally the cow, like the deer, buffalo, moose, and elk. gave only suffi cient milk to rear her young, from which we see what a wonderful degree of im provement lias taken place, when a sin gle animal is nowadays made to produce 100 pounds (50 quarts) of milk In a single day, or 100 pounds of butter in a month; or again, when a cow has averaged over her own weight In milk every month for a year. When we consider the original In ferior ancestry of these animals, these results are something marvelous. Care, cltmatic Influences, selection, mat ing. and food have been the causes, and of these,food has played the principal part in producing Improvements. Man, by se lecting and mating, has taken advantage of the variations produced by food, or the abnormal characteristic*. and has gradually molded and fashioned an ani mal to suit his taste and ideals as to greater production, as well as greater beauty and symmetry of form. —paymaster Charles Dittlefleld.
