The Englanders, who had just got
ten on the San Marcos Limited, were
jolted two successive times as the
great iron horse maneuvered to start
the long line of coaches rolling up the
grade, to speed on—on, on its way to
the city that nestled among the hills
along the San Marcos, where the Bar-
num-Baily Circus that spread its tents
under the tropical sky in the suburbs
of Katy Flat.
Jazz-bo, the Dean of the Porters of
this Special, seemed very indignant at
having to again place the suitcases out
of the aisle, as the larger number of
his passengers Usually employed his
attention. The drowsy butch boy, who
had been aroused from his perch in the
back end of the last coach by the start
of the train, gathered up a large por-
tion of his wares and wended his way
down the aisle to the foremost coach
to peddle his wares.
“Aus-stin ’Meri-can.”
“Man-n-chack-a Globe.”
“Bu-da Tribune-e”.
“San-n Mar-cos Sun.”
“Candy, Cracker Jacks, Chewing
gum, Saturday Ev’n’ Post, Miss? Sat-
’rday Ev’n’ Post!”
“Man-n-n-chacka-a-a”, from the por-
ter. Shortly after this the tram leap-
ed forward and came to a sudden
standstill with a jamming of couplings.
No one got off at this burg, but sev-
eral got on, for this was Circus Day
and all were going to the city to see
the show. This spirit was so great
that even the train itself began to as-
sume a circus-like aspect.
On through the towns the steaming
monster rolled, picking up rrowds at
every stop, until finally it deposited all
its assemblage in the suburb of San
Marcos from whose very appearance
you could judge that something big was
being pulled. ' . , .
You will say that this is a. fairy
story when we tell you that this was
actually pulled on the training school
stage. But oh! no, it’s not. It was
really put on by the applicants for en-
trance into the R. F. D. C. in their try-
outs last Wednesday evening.
In addition to this there were sev-
eral renditions of musical pieces, all
of which was enjoyed very much
Those whose efforts were judged
successful enough, to warrant admission
to the Club were: Betty Bates, Mable
Bates, Twila Crump, Flo Hooper, Em-
mett Shelton, Edwin Smith, and Al-
fred Weir. At present the club has
its maximum of membership.
It is customary for the club to have
a waiting list from which to choose
whenever a vacancy at the end of
term occurs. Your placing of your
name on this list will be appreciated by
the members of. the club.

Exclusive Recipe.
The following recipe is highly re-
commended for home brew:
Chase a wild frog three miles and
gather all the hops. To this add one
half pint shellac and one quart of bark.
Cook thirty six hours and strain thru

hopper to give it a kick.—Shorthorn.
