It is none of that honorable body's business. None the more so is it the concern of the city council, Those of us who have the ability to pay the admission are certainly of an age that does not re- Quire any seli appointed guardians of our finances. It is hardly fair for the Chamber of Commerce to class us as idiots incapa- ble of handling our own funds, or spendthrifts who would reck- Jessly dash up to the box office of a circus and spend a dollar and die paupers by reason of our extravagance. The Chamber of Commerce, individually and collectively, has this inherent right: To remain away from the circus and Saye the money. Tom, Dick and Harry likewise have the right to do as they choose.

STONE. The Tracys’ goat was woll known all over the ward for a philosopher and optimist. Trouble went not with his long, white beard, and laughter followed In the wake of his red express. Before his coming there had been strife and unhappiness tn the house of Tracy, The baby had been peaked and frotful; the twin had fought too much even for twins; Mra. Tracy had brooded too long on the hallowed memory of her famous ancestors, and Tracy himself lost his rotundity of face and expansive news of amile in the constant strug gle with butcher and baker and candlestick maker Rut with the coming of the goat bright fortune smiled. Daniel Alex ander Tracy, the baby, rode the ant. jmal's back Into the sunshine of health and rosiness, The twina had jceased their brawling to devise quaint harnessing schemes for the new pet Mra. Tracy forgot the bleawed dead and made a beautiful bine ribbon collar for the goat, which he afterward chewed off; and Tracy laughed the rotundity back into his face, and with it the energy and resourcefulness Into his aystem. So they named the goat the Knave of Hearts, and everybody waxed fat and prospered The Knave of Hearts had very peculiar notions as to diet and for | age.
