Fun? Maybe Vinson enjoyed It. You've got to b«
used to hogging things before you can enjoy a whole
circus all to yourself. It's reasonable to suspect that
Vinson didn't have much fun. And It's easy to feel
sorry for n pal- faced, pampered $100,0tK).0(K> boy who
wouldn't in any circumstances be allowed to carry wa
(er for tbe animals or pass bills.
Vinson couldn't have enjoyed bis circus, because l ,
for one thing, he didn't earn It. and. for another, ba
didn't have anybody to share It with.
The Vinson* of the world turn wearily a way from
the choicest fruits out of season. They have yet to
j learn that an apple tastes best when a pal gets half
1 of It.
