They were evangelists of the old type, devoting their lives to a labor of love, without money and without price. "Old human nature sometimes popped up. There was an old circuit rider who loved hunting game as well as souls and he could not always forget his sport when engaged in the divine calling.

I believe it was the first big traveling show in this country. It was not a four ringed circus, but a menagerie with trained animals, and clowns, and a few bare back riders.

When the per formance opened Uncle Eph and I entered the tent. We looked at the elephant and the camels and the Hons and tigers. These were all wonderful to me and also te Uncle -Efih, but what held our at tention longest was the big baboon, who stood up in his cage, manlike, bigger than I was. Uncle Eph was greatly Impressed with the animal that bore a resemblance to the human, and we stood a long while In front of the cage. "Uncle Eph was always respectful and sociable with everybody he met.

When we stopped in front of the "baboon's cage he took off his hat a nod of his head said: The baboon stood holding to the bars of his cage and staring at us. Uncle Eph repeated this question, and getting no respontf he looked the animal over for a moment and said, 'That's right; you keep your mouth shut or they'll have you out in the field hoeing corn like and we went away to continue our round of the. cages. We saw all Van Amberg's Show that day, and Uncle Eph 'toted' me a good part of the way home. I remember that first show better than any other, but I remembered as the chief event of the day the attempt of Uncle Eph to interview the big baboon, and the philosophy of the old Negro.

I have seen men make reputations for wisdom with their1 fellows Just aa the baboon did with Uncle Eph. is not a bad rule. "We had standard diseases and standard remedies on the Wabash. We had ague as a regular disease and it was not difficult to diagnose. You could feel it and you could see It with the naked eye.

Other people could also feel It when the patient had the chill for he shook the house. Our standard remedies for ague were calomel, castor oil and quinine, and they were not measured out on the apothecary's scales. Ten grains of calomel was a dose for a congestive chill, followed with a big dose Of castor oir and then all the quinine that could be poured into the victim. We did not have capsules to protect the quinine until it got Into the stomach. It was in powder and had to be swallowed or diluted in water and in either case It was medicine, patently so to the patient In trying to swallow it.
