Show Perry Owns Circus. Whoever thought thnt "Bill" Perry of Modcnn would become the manager 1 of a circus 7 j j However, such is tho case anyway j 1 ho was tho "whole thing" with tho Acnms show for at least two days this j week and explained why tho circus I billed for Pioche did not reach hero I last Thursday. r It hnppened this way. "Bill" wanted the show to exhibit ut Enterprise, Enter-prise, 25 miles across the country from Modena. "Impossible" declared the manager. "We can't do it, as we aro , billed to show at Pioche and Cnliento and it won't do to cancel any dates; , besides the expense would bo too , great nnd the elephant is not used to tnkintr 50 mile hikes." i "But see here, replied 'Bill,' thnt ! elephant would enjoy the trip; he , needs a vacation nnywny and besides there nro a lot of people at Enter-' piiso who havo never had the pleasure of cceing tin elephant. I am suic they'll treat him right over there nnd feed him on pine nuts nnd nil sorts o' , things." "Nothing doing," retorted Frank Adams; wo are off for Pioche right after tho evening performance." I "Bo reasonable nbout this thing," shouted "Bill." "You might as well , make up your mind Adams, that this show is mine for a few days." At this particular moment "Bill" went down in his jeans and pulled fourth a roll of greenbacks and slipped ( Adams a hundicd. "Now your out of it" said the Modena man, "and this I circus is going to Enterprise." Meanwhile "Bill' harnessed up his teams, tho wagons wero loaded and the circus caravan started out across the desert. This is how "Bill" Perry of Modena got into the circus game. The old adage: Money Talks, is still good. Pioche Record. |
