though it seemed nearer ten miles in those days of boyhood judgment and enthusiasm But the more modern parade had some strange mixtures Long strings of horses alternated with huge red motor trucks in

librist slid on his toes upon an in clined rope from the top of the centrepoie balancing with big Japanese umbrel and landed right in the ce of that gaping crowd And then the country people hunted for shady places to eat their own lunches and give their horses rest And we boys who had not are this secured job of carry ingwaterrstill hoped to be lucky enough to land job and trusted Providence or
