Tommy has had a strenuous day. The big circus is in town and made a glorious parade, after which Tommy goes to his home playground, the nursery, and arranges his toys as a miniature circus. Tired out, he goes to bed and is quickly in dreamland. He sees the grand ring parade, with the prancing steeds and brave riders in silver and gold paraphernalia. The crazy clowns and bespangled riders and leapers. He sees strange men, some two feet high and twelve feet high. Wonderful animals are in the menagerie and wonderful people in the side show, as well as snakes that swallow animals twice their size, bones and all. Tommy is bewildered and, with a scream of excitement, wakes up, turns over, sleeps again to see more of the circus, which will be told next week.
