The Shullion One-Ring Circus . GRACE Nl. SEIP AND BETTY J. APGAR, 9-1 The big day for the Knock-'Em-Down-Let 'Em Lay Circus had arrived. The crowds streamed through the gates, as the band, under the direction of Joe Sidoti, was playing The Man on the Flying Trapeze with occasional sour notes through the courtesy of Bob Sassaman. As the people took their seats in the grandstand, the ring master, Otto Kuhs, stepped forward and proclaimed: Lad-ees and Gen-tle-men! We present the most famous high-wire artists o-f the age--Senorita Lilliane Richards and Senor Fred- ericke Walter. As they mounted their trapeze, Senorita Lil- liane became alarmed by a blazing red light in the audience. Thinking that it was a fire, she investigated and found it to be only Benjy Howard with his breath-taking suspendersl ' Then after they performed their seemingly-impossible stunt, they thirs-tily drank a large bottle of Bushkill-Lager Nerve Tonic. CMuch needed by Senorita Richardsj. Next we saw the famous bareback rider, Madame Balen- tine. She rode on -the backs of two sleek, Arabian horses, bal- ancing a huge, Mammoth olive on her head. Just then one of the horses slipped on a banana peel and Madame Balentine flew through the air with the greatest of ease into the strong arms of Senor Predericke Walter, who was straddling his trapezc bar. The olive landed in the mouth of Paul Mclnerney, one of the audience, who hungrily devoured it and anxiously await- ed more. Then we saw Man-Mountain Schrader, the great fighter, opposing the smallest midgets in the show. After he knocked them out, he kindly offered to fight any child Cunder ten years of agej in the audience and, receiving no response, angrily walk- ed away from the ring declaring, That's. gratitude! The next riot-causing act was Stilt-walker Bilder, who was knocked in the head by Madame Leacartia Delores Gaffney. This daring lady had just been shot from the two million can- dle-power cannon in time to separate Bilder from his stilts. At this exciting moment the four thousand pound fat lady, Madame Senorita Sharkey, came waddling by. She was dis- tressed because she had recently lost 500 pounds. CPoor lady, she looked so thin and feeble that it was necessary for her to have an escort in the form of a clown, Angelina Tamborellalj Ring-master Kuhs, becoming alarmed by so many catas- trophies, declared an -end to the eventful show, and the audience returned home with many sorrowful faces.

The Shullion 9-2 Menagerie MARIE MORRISON, 9- 2 Come on there, Leo, shouted Miss Reiser, the greatest woman lion tamer in the world, as she tried to coax one of her pets, Earl Staats, to jump through a hoop. Earl, however, was so upset by the weird laughter of Sara Morrison, the laughing hyena, that he was unable to perform the customary trick. The wild cats, Rose Kristbaum, Anna Trumbower, and Johanna Snyder w-ere very excited over a thrilling boxing match they had just witnessed between the two kangaroos, Helen Werkheisier, and Ruth Murray. Helen, by the way, won the match. The monkeys, Hugh Daley, Raymond Lowe, Stanley Smith, and Epifanio Cuvo, went into a huddle, which, how- ever was broken up by the appearance of Tarzan of the Apes, Earl Brotzman. Grace Glory, the little baboon, jumped around as though she were a Mexican jumping bean. Henry Weidaw, the polar bear, was surrounded by his friends, the grizzly bears, Angelo Paulso, Roland Sandt, and Joan Siegel. Henry thought he was better than his grizzly friends because h-e was a polar bear and more distinguished and dignified than the grizzlys.. The alert-looking seals, Fannie Chisesi, and Margaret Seip, and Sadie Sanguedohe, were practicing playing, My Country 'tis of Thee, on a xylophone. The whit-e swans, Marie Morrison, Ruth Haas, and Clara Orlando were floating gracefully upon the surface of a lily pond. Doesn't that sound romantic? Swans do have a little ro- mance in their souls. Margaret Hartenstine, the antelope and Sam Locaro, the panther offered a marked contrast in their cages s.ide by side. Please do not get them mixed. Margaret is the antelope, and Sam is the panther. The little giraffe, Jack Eldridge, and the very tall giraffe, Philip Riehl, were called Mutt and Jeff, Keeper Raymond Youngkin, had just put the finishing touches on the stripes of Arlene Cldt, the Zebra when the feeding bell rang. The animals made a dash for the feeding box, and they made so much noise that the show was forced to stop. nineteen
