Well might they be calm, for they were retired circus performers, and the i perils of the tents were old stories to j them, and then, as the show' went on, they began exchanging reminiscences, ; while the listcuing Journal man forgot all about what was before him in- his interest in these yarns. “That jump r< minds mo of the way Sam Myers proposed to Annie Johnson J ten years ago. ’’ The Journal man noticed that the ! veteran circus man emitted the ‘‘.S: : g- i nor’’ and “MiilrunsoRe” from his con versation, so Sam Myers and An- | nio Johnson did not bear i.i private life | the names which adorned the circus | programme and the particolored litho graphs which inflame tlie circus going propensities of Young America.
