HC W TI » GOT '-TS CIRCUS Tim was born in Tur' eyvi lie, Vermont, At the age of ten, Tim ren a way from home to look for a job, but every tine he received the sqme answer, No, you pr-e too younv. Tim was wen discouraged, as he started to leave the circus. Then he heard someone behind him shout, Wait, It w s the manager. Tim got e job at the circus feeding the elephants, as .«jell as watering, them, i-.nd beddin.c them down. Tim worked at this job until he was eighteen. Then he was appointed to drive a trailer truck Toeded with two big elephants. The first time lim drove truck he realized how important he was to the circus. They ds 'ended on Tim to take the ele- phants from place to place, care for them when in need of atten- tion, and feed them. Tim wss always working with the mvae two elephants, and he grew to like them very much. As Tim grew older he realized that th elephants depended on hi'T to get them where they were supposed to go. One day Tim was driving toward Florida for the winter, when he blew a tire, causing him to go into a ditch. c?o one war hurt. Tim had to figure a way to get the truck out of the ditch. Then he remembered the two elephant.' in the beck. Tim unhooked the tail rate and led the two elephants to the front of the truck, where be hooked two hure chains to t e trr and to the elephants, ben Tim spoke to the elephants and the hu je chain befcpn to tighten,- the truck t e an to move out of the ditch; soon the truck was in the rc d. Tim 'fut the elenbrnts beck i to the truck, end fired t e tire. Soon im was on the road again. When Tim reached Florida he told the man'cer bus story, .gnd they lpuahed at the w-ry he pot the truck out of the ditch. Tim had done so well thatth 'manager put Tinnip charge of ell the other trucks. With ’’im in charae of everything the circus manager never worried about his animals, and His trucks. Tim used the ele- phants for other things elro, such a puttin. up the bia tents end to move heavy equipment. It was but a few years 10-ter that Tim final y nad his own circus. He hired actors from all over t,e country. Then for a few years Tim end his wife did the tra I ze act. One time the trsaeze broke and his wife was hurt very brr'ly. She w s taken to the hospital, where .she stayed for some time. She died there in the hospital, a month later. After that there w s not much left to keep Tim’s interest in the circus. Tim sold his circus, and enlisted in the service, where he is st?11 serving his country. Tim never ’forgot the tragedy that caused his wife's death.
