On Saturday afternoon, May 15th
long before the hour - of 3 o'clock"
the carrying capacityof the St Louis
street car service was taxed to its
uttermost by the coming of the thous
ands of children and escorts to make
sure of good front seats at the big
gest show on earth and all to see
one little boy and one dog. -Tige!
Imagine an audience twice greater
than ever beheld the hippodrome-
thrice the size of any attendance ever
recorded at Barnum and Bailey's or
grand opera anywhere just to see
and hear Buster Brown, watch Tige
and pledge themselves with hands
aloft and hearts crossed, never,
never to buy any, hoe but Suster

minute! 1
The same old, dear old; game old
Buster .
And the same old old dear, old
Tige!
They boyth turned their backs on
the audience, they laughted at the
orchestra, they poked fun at the
dignitaries on the stage, they winked
at the boxes ' thronged with the elite
of society of St. Louis and puMed
oft their stunts to the queen's taste
without batting an eyelash.
Only Buster took exception to
Tigo's attitude with' his tail front to
the crowd, kept turning him around
again and gam and insist in-g that St
Louis boys and girls much .preferred
his fore quarters to his hind quarters.
Then Tige would turn around
again.
But Buster! You should have seen
Buster! In all his glory! O'er all the
ills of life victorious Radiant!
Scintillating! Every inch the kind of
American kids, and every, kid ofj.the
20.000 with him o the liroi'. Heart
and soul. I .
First came th-3 music by :hs Brown
Shoe Company's own Moberi Factory
Band, and every member of it from
conductor, - jlowji ic piccolo a shoe
maker to the manor Jborn and In the
life and sweep of rendering joyous
airs, quite up to Sousa at' his best! J
Then came Buster himself and
Tige, under the joint and gracious
chaperonage of B'IS't's wn mamma,

sure of Buster! You could see' that
in the quiet confidence of her. air
and yet such a Jiuge, tremendou3, un
expected throng, and such spontane
ous applause for her wee-"bit laddie!
So sure, perhaps just the tiniest
flitting trickle of a tear; let some
other mother say!
You want to know what Buster did,
of course, but first let's go up above
the stage and look upon the great as

sections 7 and 8 are 2,000 boys and
girls who have taken their seats by

10 boys! Sjolid with boys, happy
faced with dimpled, shining cheek

the whole lot fixed on their old pal,
Kindergarten instruction in how to

aisles and around the stage and the
gijeat doors of the entrance had
nothing to do. Noone hurt or trampl
ed -upon, not a child fell, not a boy
pushed, not a little girl grew petu -lant.
It was a case of on with Buster
and all went merry -asamarriagebell
and al went merry as a marriage

Buster's cowboy stunt was the real!
thing. The dry air of Texas was never
breathed by jk more gallant son of
the plains, and Buster carried off with
all the dash and spirit of the West
itself.
His portrayal of the soldier was so
perfect a grizzled veteran in the box

hunting and the glittering signs of
the great industrial house under
e auspices the performance was
whos
prepared for the occasion was the
Highland Fling the wild air of the;
pibroch and the gladsome tune of
Bonnie Dundee, and for the first time
for an .hour one "auld auld lady' in
Box 6 (or was it 8?) exclaimed aloud
before -she knew it Ah! the braw
laddie. Lesse me on thee laddie.
Cupid of course true to the suscep
tible' instincts of the sex caught the
girls even down to the' three-year-olds!
One little darling of a child
all alone, standing away out in front
yof the stage, twenty feet from the
audience, no one near her, oblivious
to all but Buster, poised upon one
foot, a bare knee dimpled forward. It
required' the departure of Buster, the
disappearance, of Tige, the shout' of
20,000 boys . and -girls, the play of the
orchestra and the frantic clutch of
three mammas 1q bring her to. j
And hers was one lone case; ten

Then Buster came on as the-"Eng

than "me Lud' Buster Brown.
And then the sailor, aye, aye sir,
a true salt of the briny deep, beyond
question.. Buteters rendition of this
character brought to mind the words
of the old son, so perfect was it
Oh! I'm the cook and the captain
bold
And the bosm tight and the midship
mite!
And the cr6w of the captain's gig!
At the conclusion when the music
had died away and the house rose
for deDarture. every section moved
i
Tvith military precision. No struggle
no crowding and outside hundreds
and hundreds of cars for the home
going. Thoroughly capable, good bus
iness management could scarcely have
a higher tribute of recognition than
the fact of the orderliness of the
coming of these hosts of children,
their x;omort and their pleasure
throughout the performance, and the
quiet, unimpatient manner of their
departure.
But above all, the real credit is
due to the Public School system of
St. Louis and its excellent curriculum
of conduct as well as of stifdy; there
could scarcely be a . more trying test
than the perfect marching order main
