You know the are very lazy, and they enjoy sleeping about as much as anything. Still, none of them would miss one of Billy Bullfrogs swimming parties so they all came, even if some were napping when they arrived. .Just then the mud turtles felt their mud chairs being pulled from under them and the mud turtles who were lying on sofas felt themselves suddenly without anything to lie on and they all had to swim around for a change. They wondered and wondered what could have taken away their resting places, when they heard a chorus of bullfrogs croak, get up and swim. Its not polite to sleep at a party. Then the mud turtles blinked and looked about, them, and there they saw on the lily pads in the stream, the bullfrogs?. Weve invented a game for the swimming party, as, of course, we're all a bit tired of races. The mud turtles sighed arid looked at their mud sofas and chairs dis- - BODY Bfc. VALVES.

The language of the ballyhoo artist is peculiar to his kind and practically In Its unintelligible to outsiders. strictest sense, the term ballyhoo Is applied to a man who talks, while a grinder is one who sells tickets and also bailies. A grinder may also be a short-sugexpert, which means that he can short-chang- e people with facila Occasionally ity. grinder has a walk-awathat Is, a patron forgets his change and leaves it The crowd which gathers to hear a ballyhoo man perform Is, In his JarI had a swell tip that gon, a tip. ballylng, but I only turned a few, a ballyhoo man reports to a friend. He means that he assembled a large crowd but that he succeeded in inducing only a few to enter the show. The term rube Is now passe. Instead, the yokelry are known by such expressions as saps, boobs and monkeys. An officer Is a John Law, while a prosecuting attorney Is a pros, while the people who work about the shows but are not performers are roughi necks. In every tip a ballyhoo man has a schell or two that Is, some one who waxes enthusiastic about the show and pushes to the fore flaunting the price of admission. The sheeplike quality of humanitv has been expatiated for years and the ballyhoo man profits by it When two or three start Into a tent a tip Is likely to foildtfr. Noise eddies and swells about the ballyhoo man. The blare of horns, the thud of drums, the racket of a wind machine are constantly beating against the cadences of his voice. Crying babies, giggling youths and maidens, scolding parents contribute to not dogs sizzle, onions the racket The odor of fry, popcorn pops. massed humanity assails the nostrils as the strident notes of the calliope smite the ears. five-legge- two-heade- d Short-Chang- , New York. Faunting, flaming banners announce his presence. Garish lights shed a glamor about his gesticulating figure. Blaring noises try joyfully to conquer his voice. America mills about his feet, marvels at his fluency, laughs at his wit, Is Intrigued by his wares and contributes the dimes which make the ballyhoo mans profession profitable. In circuses, in carnivals, in amusement parks the ballyhoo men flourish even as does the green hay tree. Advancing the merits of the cow, emphasizing the weight of the fat girl, urging the public to see the g man from Borneo, the ballyhoo man treads the rickety boards of his platform and exhorts the public. The ballyhoo man and his profession seem practically untouched by the hand of time. , Electric lights may replace spluttering kerosene torches, but their refulgence shows a scene nowadays that might, except In minor details, have been found anywhere in America 50 years ago. Looks Like a Gambler. Perhaps a ballyhoo mans most Important stock in trade Is his personal appearance. In this he Is closely akin to a gambler. He must be of generous edition proportions no pocket-sizeneed apply. He should be least six feet tall and weigh more than 200 If he Is good looking, so pounds. much the better; but he must possess a certain presence. This Is one profession In which age seems to lend The 'dlgnl-- ' dignity and forcefulness. fled, ballyhoo man of sixty usually can assemble a larger crowd, hold the people longer and separate them' from more dimes than can a younger man. The flow of eloquence with which the ballyhoo man regales his audience Is stereotyped. ILe Is permitted a limited number df unintelligible words, since America likes to think its ballyhoo men well educated. But at the same time he must keep on the level of average Intelligence. If he slips In a few aint and seens at auspicious moments, he will endear himself to the masses. Then he Is considered a great man who can still he as common as anybody. The ballyhoo man must know humanity, must know Just what to say and when and how. He must fit his spiels to his crowds. If the artist Is ballylng for a side show that caters to a masculine trade, he selects his words and phrases carefully, he plays upon the weaknesses of his crowd and makes his hearers feel deliciously wicked and sophisticated by reason of their very presence before such a tent If, on the other hand, the ballyhoo man Is barking for freak animals, be ar ten-horn- fire-eatin- On All But, father, what makes the blood it? . go round to all the cells? .

But After they had played the new game for a little while the mud turtles would fall off their mud sofas and get on the lily pads Instead. And they didnt bother to chase the bullfrogs at all. Old Billy Bullfrog had thought that would happen, and they had all wondered why he hadnt shown up before. When, all of a sudden, what should the mud turtles see but a big thing that looked like a fat whale swim-- , mlng around, pulling at their feet Then how they did swim and scamper, and the bullfrogs laughed and laughed. Pretty soon the mud turtles noticed that the whale didn't chase any of the bullfrogs and that the bullfrogs werent hurrying. . . Its another trick, one of them said. Then Old Billy Bullfrog, who was dressed up as the whale with a cloak of gray bark and weeds, laughed and said: . Weil, theres no keeping you awake so well sing lullabies, and the noise from the stream nearby the other night really meant that the bullfrogs were croaking what they called lullabies and sleepy songs. alr-terie- lf Plays to Human Weaknesses in Phrases at Carnivals and Circuses. g Sometimes those valves give out.

One man said he was unable to see the stage at a recent performance because of tbe smoke. He formed his program into a tube and blew a hole through the smoke near him so that he could see. The smokers ahead objected that he was making a draught on their necks, and he replied that If smoking was permitted, so was blowing.
