It Was Not the Kind of Wagon the Old Man Expected. “It’s a hard life,” declared the old cir- cus man, “and I always say at the close of every season that I am through with it. But there is something‘ in the life, the smell of the sawdust ring, the glitter and noise, the changing scene, that ap- peals to a man who has once been in the business, and it is seldom that one leaves the life until death steps in. There is a good deal of humor in the business, too, as we are brought into contact with all sorts and conditions of men. “I am reminded of a funny thing that happened to me a good many years ago when such a thing as moving a circus I by rail was not thought of. It was part of my work at that time to drive our great $10,000 chariot not only in the pa- rade, but between towns as well. What little sleep I got I had to catch here and there on my seat while we were on our way to another town. One night my doze turned into a sound sleep, and when I awoke I discovered that the team, left without a driver, had turned into a farm- yard and come to a stop before a hay- stack, where they were quietly eating. While I was rubbing my eyes and try- ing to grasp the situation the old man who owned the hay came out where I was and walked around the chariot and looked it over with a critical eye. “ ‘IVcll,’ said I, with a grin, ‘what do you think of it?’ “ ‘Gosh,’ said he, ‘ain’t hit jes a trifle bit gaudy?’ “‘chll, what do you expect?’ said I indignantly at this implied reflection upon the great moral show that I repre- sented. “ ‘IVell, I suppose hit is all right,’ an- swered the old man doubtfully as he look- ed it over once more. ‘I ordered hit, and I’ll stand by my bargain. Hit seems for me that hit is 305 a bit loud. But I suppose I ain’t used to city ways.’ “It was now my turn to be surprised, and I was about to ask him what he was driving at when he added that I might as well unhitch, as the funeral wouldn’t be until 2 in the afternoon. “Then there were explanations all around. It seems t t the old man’s wife had died and I . had sent to the nearest city for a funeral car and had mistaken our great $10,000 chariot for it. There had been a good deal of rivalry in the neighborhood in regard to funerals, and the old man had made up his mind to outshine them all, and I think he was disappointed in the end when he discov- ered that he had been mistaken.” ~___._._â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"- RIBBONS FOR A MARRIAGE. Purple and Gold on Door-knobs For- merly Announced Such an Event. “I do not know how the thing originat- ed or where it came from,” observed an old resident to a reporter, “but I do know of a custom in my boyhood days in Washington, say 50 years ago, that. as far as I can learn, does not exist now. It was of draping street doorknobs with purple or gold colored ribbons the day a wedding was to be celebrated in a house. It was the custom certainly in the old First wardâ€"all of the city lying between Fifteenth street and Rock creekâ€"and I am sure in some other sections, it not all over the city. I was told once that the custom prevailed in Europe many years ago, but had fallen into disuse there. Very often, if the occupants of the house, the parents of the bride or others did not provide the outside decora- tion, friends furnished it. The mark was hung like the ordinary funeral crape from the outside doorknob. In the great majority of the cases a purple ribbon was used, but I have seen a gold col- ored ribbon used. The ends hung long always, reaching to the level of the bot- tom of the door. “I have known of this decoration being placed on doors even without the con- sent of the parties who were to be mar- ried and understood that it was done by instruction of the clergyman who was to perform the marriage and who did it {fir t e marriage banns had not been regularly made public in the church. The custom a a of VVnshinxton. all denominations joining in his own protection in cases where of reading out marriage banns was most universal in the early days It. 111 8(3an cntli‘cuc: they on three successive Sundays, in others on two Sundays, while in others one Sun- day. In some cases whore the people who were to be married were not church- goers or who (lid not desire that their banns should be published in the church- es some clergymcn demanded that pub- lic notice should be given of the wed- ding by the doorknob decoration. which was hung ‘at early breakfast time’ and remained on the knob until after the wedding was celebrated. In cases where there were to be weddings nt churches I have known of a similar sign being given. Some ministers objected very seriously to the custom, though others were as stroneg in its favor. I have not seen anything or indeed heard any one talk even of the custom for at least 50 years, but it was very generally observed a half century ago here and, for all I know, in other cities.” "CLO 1C0!) Timber In England. By the general laws of England oak. ash and elm are “timber” if not younger than 20 years or so old that a good post cannot be cut from them. ’What consti- tutes “timber” varies slightly, according to locality. But when a tree is proved to be “timber” a person who has only a life interest in the land it grows upon cannot cut it down unless it be on an estate cultivated Solcly for the produc- tion of salable timber 'or unless he has a special agreement giving him the power to do so. ______.â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"- The Poet. “Sir,” said the long haired one indig- nantly to the editor. “the poet is born.” “011, is he?” rctortcd the editor. “W'ell.
