The ladies had an oppor- | tunity to gossip while they put in the | stitches and there was better oppor- tunity for real confidential gossip over | & quilting frame than any other con- | trivance ever invented. “The circuit rider, the religious re- vival and the camp meeting were a consplcuous part of pioneer life. They not only ministered to the religious and emotional side of man’s nature, but they also helped along social in- tercourse by furnishing a place for a general assemblage of the people with- out regard to sect or doctrine. Some of the sermons and some of the prac- tices of these gatherings might not appeal to peopie now as sanely reli- gious, but the frontier had no more gelf-sacrificing men than the old cir-| cuit riders who rode through the woods and across the prairies Winter and Summer, preaching and exhorting the people to a better life and inspir- ing hope in & future. They were evangelists of the old type, devoting thelr lives to a labor of love, without money and without price. “Old human natare sometimes popped up. There ‘was an old circuit yider who loved hunting game as well as souls, and he could not always for- get his sport when engaged in the Divine calling. One morning as he proceeded to |he camp meeting he saw signs of a fox and set a wrap where he could keep his eye on it during the mermon. While preaching he saw the trap fall; without changing the sing- song tone of his delivery, he said, *Brethren, keep your minds on the text while T go out and kill that fox.”” Had Natural History Shows. “Did you have circuses on the Wa- oosier col o exactly circuses, but the great | moral natural history show which, ac- | cording to the bills, presented an illus- trated history of the world from crea- tion, with the wild beasts from the jungles of Africa and the mountains ©of Asia, and samples of the aboriginal man from the islands of the South Seas.

I believe it was the first big traveling show .in this country. It was not a four-ringed circus, but a menagerie with trained animals, and clowns, and a few bare- back riders. It was considered a part of one’s education to go to Van Am- berg's to study the.wild animals of the world. When the performance opened Uncle Eph and I entered the tent. We looked at the elephant and the camels and the, lions and _tigers. These were all wonderful to me and also to Uncle Eph, but what held our attention longest was the big baboon, who stood up in his cage, manlike, bigger than I was. Uncle Eph was greatly impressed with the animal that bore a resemblance to the human, S-M-I-L-E At the Weather With One of Our BEST-BILT GARAGES $ PER | All Steel & 8 MONTHX Wood Frame N 200 K St. N.E.

When we stopped in front of the baboon's cage he took off his hat and, with a nod ef his head, said: ‘How is vou? The baboon stood holding to the bars of his cage and staring at us. Uncle Eph repeated this question, and, getting no response, he looked the respectful “That's right; you keep your mouth shut or they'll have you out in the fleld hoeing corn like me,’ and we went away to continue our round of the cages. We saw all Van Amberg's siow that day, and Uncle Eph ‘toted” me a good part of the way home. I remember that first show better than any other, but I remember as the chief event of the day the attempt of Uncle Eph to interview the big baboon and the philosophy of the old negro.
