RUNNING A CIRCUS.
Reminiscences of the Days When
Railroads Were Still Rare ,
A Novel Plan to Prevent
Cheating Chalk Instead
of Return Chocks.
torrcspondcnco of the Chicago Time *
A. very jolly nnil successful Now
York nmimgor wns found at leisure a
'ow dnys ago by n Times reporter.
His season was ovur and ho hiul coniu
out nhcml , ns usual ; so had noinu of
tia friends ; and mention of ono of
hose , who lyiil once been prominent
n tlio circus ring , led to the discovery
; hat the manager himself had boon in
.ho circus business.
"I Botnctimes wish myself in it now ,
.00 , " said the hearty old fellow. "I
lad to work like- the well , Hko
3arfiold before Colliding resigned , but
L never foil as well and had IIR much
'mi ns in those old days. "
"Old days ? "
"Yes ; they weren't so ninny years
ago , when you conio to look up the
date , but there weren't many rail
roads then , und the business wiva
managed so dilfcrontly to what it is
now that it seems u hundred years
ago. "
"Which part of the business did
you innnfigo ? "
" Whichever thcro was most money
In , At first 1 went ahead to 'placo'
the show ; that is , T went to the towns
where wo were billed to appearnnd made
liotel arrangements for the company
mil secured stabling for the horses ,
It was no small job then 'tisn't now ,
pither , to find good accommodations
in a little town for fifty or sixty men
and women and twice as many horses ,
\ good many of them ready to bo ugly
if they weren't treated just so. "
"You had plenty of spare time on
your hands , though , I suppose ? "
"Did 1 ? Well ; perhaps I did , but I
don't ' remember it. Why , there wore
weeks at n time when 1 didn't sleep in
a bed four hours out of twenty-four.
Now-a-days , when every country town
is sliced up by two or three railroads
ii circusman can move about lively ,
but oven now ho don't get much time
to talk politics or play pokur. In my
time I travelled by wagon , und what
a wagon ! I wish 1 was in it this min
ute. "
A emeus MAN'S HOUSK ON WHRRT.S.
"What were the points of this won
derful conveyance ? "
"Well , there was room in it for all
my personal baggage ; there was also
places for lunch and for - By the way
did you over have to take a drink at
a country hotel twenty years ago ? "
The reporter virtuously replied :
"Yes , medicinally. "
"That's what 1 mean , " said the old
gentleman. "Did'nt you always feel
pretty soon after as if you'd been pois
oned ? "
"Exactly. "
"Then you know why I had n com
partment especially for liquors. I
had ono for ice , too , and ono for
cigars. Generally I bad to start out
pretty early in the morning , so I'd got
the hotel proprietor or clerk to take
mo down to the kitchen and give mo
something to make a breakfast of
whou I got under way. Thcru was n.
sameness about hotel kitchen pantries
in tlioso days ; there wan't much in
them out bread , butter and pork. Hut
such bread ! Homo-made , sweet , no
alum in it. Such butter ! Why , oleo
margarine hadn't been heard of then.
As for the pork , people who eat the
distillery-fed stun" that some Now
York butchers sell don't know what
pork is. I'd maku a lot of sandwiches
out of country bread , butter and fat
pork and stow them away in the wag
on , with some grain for the horse.
Before daylight I'd be out and away
at a ten-mile gait , and ten minutes
after starting I'd bo fast asleep in my
seat , with the reins around my wrist.
My horse knew his business ; he had
twice as much souse as I had. He'd
cross all the bridges and ford streams
that weren't bridged as long as it was
dark , but at the first brook he struck
after daylight he'd stop short. That
meant business and I'd wake up. "
"Business ? "
"Yes ; breakfast , I'd take him out
of the shafts , take oil his bridle , give
him a mild drink and something to
eat. Then I'd get out my own break
fast and make up for the absence ol
colFoo by mixing some brook water and
ice with something out of a bottle.
Jerusalem ! I'd give ta hundred dollars
lars to-day for a meal thnt tastes as
good as tlioso breakfasts used to do.
No close room , you know , smelling ol
the ghosts of thousands of bad meals ;
no dirty waiter lounging about ; IK
played-out fellows straggling in for
black coil'eu to clear their heads after
last night's spree. I toll you 'twa
just the poetry of living , oven if il
was on fat pork with a stump for i
table and u handful of leaven for i
napkin. "
A COUNTIIY-TAVBUN 31KAL.
"lint you must have found some
thing besides pork at country tav
erns i"
"Yes ; once in n while. In eonrl
week or during the county fair thoyV
persuade somebody to kill a steer am
two or three sheep , but at oilier times
pork was the rule , varied by ham and
eggs. Chickens were scarcer than
they are in Now York. In the spring
though the landlord would sometime :
Htrilte me just before dinner , explaii
how he'd tried to buy meat , but ho
couldn't gut any , and then he'd apolo
gise for being unable to give mo any
thing but trout. "
' Oreal Ciusar ! "
"You're right , my boy. I alwayu
accepted his apology , wont into the
dining-room and found in front of my
plate a dish with a pile of trout look
ing like about two bundles of kindling
wood. When I'd got through will
that dish yon couldn't ' have fed a cal
on what was loft. "
"ilow long did this last ? "
"Not half long enough , " sighed the
manager , gathering in a reef of his
waist-band that he had unconsciously
lot out in memory of old times. "A
rival concern offered mo double pay
and T went with them to break up the
system of taking money at the door.
You BOO , there were two or three part
ners and each one thought the others
wore cheating him by collusion witl
the doorkeeper. You've been to the
circusi"
"Somewhat ; that is , I've been a
boy. "
"Thoti you know tlmt a man in a
wagon soils tickets and these are proi
tented nt the entrance to the tout ,
iVoll , thoro'd ho n jam nt the wagon ;
k man with n wife and three or four
cids would got tired of roasting in
ho sun , so they'd mnko n break for
ho door nnd insist on paying the
ickot taker , who would hide awny lota
) f money taken this way and nobody
jo nny the wiser. The proprietors ( if
ho show asked mo if I could manage
ho door without taking nny money ,
so thnt they wouldn't hnvo anybody
"ml the treasurer to wntch. 1 said ,
'Certainly ' , if you can slntid the row. ' "
"How did it work ! "
"Work ? Well 1 wish you could
invo scon the racket. 1 weighed
about n hundred nnd eighty then nnd
"mdn't nu ounce of fat un mo , vilhor ;
ndeed , the polar benr and I wore the
only ferocious animals in the incnag *
erio. 1 put myself into n velvet jack
et , too smooth nnd tight for Anybody
: o got hold of , I had my hair cut short
RO that no fellow could got n grip on
that , then 1 get n double line of thirty
or forty of our drivers , beginning ] just
outside the ropes nnd ending n good
nnny rods awny. The people hail fair
.varning. 'No Money Taken at the
Door , ' was posted in big letters wher
ever wo had iv bill. But in spite of
Lhat some people came to the door
with money. A farmer with a bic
Family wouldn't count noses nnd ho'd
reach the door without enough tick
els. "
A XOVKL PLAN.
"What did you do for him ? "
"I'd let in ns many hs his tickets
paid for , hut the man himself IM ta
t > y the collar and the stuck nf his
breeches , lift him over the ropo- po
litely , you know , no swearing- in
u half n minute that double line of
men would liavo him about n ipurtor
> f n milo away , and mad cnoiiL'h to
kill somebody. It raised n tretium-
deus row , separated families , you
know , nnd set women nnd children
crying. Pretty soon the follow would
buy n ticket , come back and free his
mind. "
"Wouldn't ho show fight ? "
The manager winked profoundly.
" .Not after the taste ho'd just had of
[ ivy muscle oh , no. Ho'd promwi'eo
it an infernal shnmo , though , nnil I'd
Loll him 1 thought HO too , ns 1 did ,
but I'd ' explain thnt I was only fol
lowing orders ntid ho must not blame
mo for it , nnd aa n rule ho didn't , for
I had already been known through
the circus routes for years AS A pretty
decent sort of n fellow. I don't
think the row helped the show any ,
though Besides the owners got up n
now wrinkle : nobody could go out ,
even if in sight nil the while , without
ngain to go in no return checks. "
"How did that work ? "
"It made no end of trouble. The
fellow who had thocandy privilege used
to go around jind draw the canvas
walls up taut , so us to make it as hot
as Tophot inside , as it would increase
the demand for the vile tartaric acid
mixture that ho called lumoiimlo.
Just let me tell you that when you
[ jet live thousand people and n hun
dred wild animals in a tight canvas
tent with the sun blazing down on it ,
the place is as hot as a blast furnace
and smells like a Now York gutter on
n summer day. Why , once in A while
A pull'of that mr used to como out of
that door where I was standing and
almost knock me Hat : even n strong
cigar under my nosu wouldn't help mo
much. Of course people would want
to como out for breatli ; I'd let them
go , but remind them thnt they'd have
to buy fresh tickets to get back with.
'TWAS n regular outrage all around ;
some of the women would faint and
the children would got nick , though
men knocked under quickest in the
bad air. Nine out of ten of the people
ple who wanted to go out were men. "
"What did you do about it ? "
"I numbered them. "
"Numbered ? "
"Yes , I got A big picco of chalk
nnd cut it down to n good broad point.
When a fellow wanted to go out I'd
tell him it was against the rules to
como back without a fresh ticket , but
that I'd make an exception in his case
if ho'd lot mo number him. So ho'd
turn around nnd I'd chalk him across
his back in big figures , any number
that happened to como into my head. "
"And you kept duplicates ? "
"Not much. I know nobody oho
would counterfeit my signature uiy
figures , I moon for the sake of get
ting in free ; besides , I could remem
ber their faces , anyhow. When the
fellow como back I'd turn him around
look at the number , Hay , 'All right ,
nnd above him in. It always inado a
big excitement in ( own. I know ono
of the managers came to me one day
and whispered that ho thought a
lunatic asylum had been let loose to
como to the show. 'What makes
you think so ? ' I naked. 'Hecauso
there's a lot of fellows around herewith
with big numbers chalked on thoii
backs , ' said ho. When I explained to
him ho laid right down on the grass
nnd rolled. I really thought liu't
burst himself laughing. "
"But didn't tlio chalk spoil theii
clothes ? "
"That was their lookout. Tlioy
could choose between it and thu price
of u now ticket. When a tony follow
came along that could alibrd the lift }
cento as well as not , but was too mean
to do it , ho wus well marked and don'l
you forget it. A decent fellow whc
wasn't very well dressed I'd lot ol ;
with a BJnglu iiguro and not A very bij ,
ono either just big enough to wan :
him against going out too often ; bill
the tonier n man was the moru chalk
he got. Some of them would have a
whole Hum in addition on their bucko
and the figures were big enough to
read htilf n mile away. You ought to
have HCUII mo fresco the backs of n lol
of British oIlicei-H , in full uniform , up
in Canada one day , A genuine gen
tleman I'd sometimes let up on by go
ing through the motion of chalking.
I'd do it with my knuckle , ' ,
"Did you chalk women , too ? "
"No ; n woman who went out oi
that sweat-box never wanted to go
back ngain not that day , at any rate.
Besides , although the numbering waa
fun to me , I couldn't stand it to bo
poisoned at the door by foul air jusl
bccaiiHo n heartless brutu wanted to
bull the lemonade market , so L made
such n hubbub that the managers for
bid any moro drawing up of the can
vas except in very rainy weather. "
"Did people always till circus tents
in those days , "
"Kvory time , if the show had nny
sort of reputation , We've sot oui
tent'at n cross-roads without u house
in sight , und six hours later wo'd Imvu
the whole county there ; thoro'd be
more wagons than any-body over saw
following i an nrmybcsidc8 saddle horses
ses enough to mount two or throe
regiments i of calvory. Ah , those were
the I Rood old times ! "
Just then the box agent came up
stairs i with a drawer full of currency
and i the reporter departed to adver
tise for a country hotel where they
serve trout with nit apology.
THE OUTLOOK IN KANSAS
The Condition of ThinRti NeverMore
Moro GrrxUfj-lng Than Now.
*
KMIKM City Journal , June 21.
A Journal reporter was introduced
to n gentleman at the Union depot last
evening , who was described by the
mutual friend as a mnn who know all
about Kansas , and who declared the
people of the state were "madder'n
hades" becnnso of the recent slander
of The Times in connection with its
crop reports.
"What portions of Kansas are you
familiar with ? " asked the reporter.
"The entire state , as 1 have lived
in Kansas ever since territorial days.1'
"What portions have you visited re
cently ? "
"Tho districts traversed by the Kan-
sns Pacific and Atchison , 'JTopoka
Santa Vo roads. "
"What are the crop prospects ? "
"Never butter. Some portions
Imvo been visited by chinch bugs , ami
the wheat crop is moro or less dam
aged ; but the great wheat belt of the
state , with n very few oicoplions , has
escaped uninjured. Along the Kan
sas 1'acitic , west of l\vis county as
P t as Hllw , the wheat is looking
splendid. The straw is ot long , but
the ho.ids nro largo ami the borrv
inunuiilly largo and well dovelopoif.
Tlio name may bo said of the Santa
l < \ ) west of Florence in the Cottonwood
valley , out as far as farms have boon
opened toward the west line of the
state. "
"What about the devastations of
nsocts in the southeast ? "
' 'I presume considerable damage has
icon done locally , but that section
lees not come into the wheat belt of
Kansas , nnd its entire wlie.-vt crop
night bo lost without seriously nflect-
ingtho aggregate. "
"What about other crops ? "
"Tho prospect is lino. The mason
ms , in the main , been favorable for
corn , of which an unusually largo
icreage was planted , and the crop is
ookmg well. It is too soon to figure
on results , but the outlook is very
.rood. Outs and ( lax are good. Some
; rnssos are being introduced to con-
iderablo oxtcftt in thu eastern part
> f the state and do well. The older
mrtions of the state tire getting tine
neadows of timothy and clover , and
) luo grass pastures are frequent.
'Vnit will bo an average crop. IVaches
hat were supposed to have been kill
ed turned out much better that was
'eared. There will bo an abundance
'or home demands. Apples are fair.
Small fruitH are abundant.
"What of the general feeling among
.ho farmers ? "
"Tho hopes of the farmers wcro
lover better ; in fact 1 never saw a
nero gratifying condition of things in
.he state OH a whole than at a present
.11110. . "

A workinginnn says : "Dobt , pov
erty and suilbrring haunted mo for
years , caused by u siok family and
largo bills for doctoring which did no
good. I was completely discouraged ,
until ono year ago , by the advice of
my pastor , t procurred Hop Bitters ,
and commenced their use , and in ono
month wo wore all well ; and none of
us have been sick u day since ; and I
