"More people go into tumbling than
nto any tuber Hue of olrons busiucBi , "
iald a performer , a brawny , big-llmbtd
uity follow , etnudlnn in the urcesltig-
room of Baruam'a show. Ho had jaat
vaulted over five elephants , atid was
irachinc the sawdust from his kneoa ,
'Anordiuary tumbler gets $35 a week ;
an extraordinary one , $50. A loapcr

elephants on the ground , and one
elephant In mld-alr , standing on a
ub , tuny command $75 a week , which
s Increased to $100 when ho does a
trapeze act. "
' 'flow dooi ono learn the buslncst ? "
" 1 will toll you how I learned it.
\ly \ ezporluQco , in part , is that of
nany. When I was a green country
> oy I dropped corn for six conta a day
and sold wild blackberries for three
cents a quart to get money to go to a
circus with. I looked forward to the
show for four mouth ? ; talked about It
daytimes and dreamed of it nights. I
walked five mlles into town to BOO the
circus , and seven miles out of town to
noot it. I went into the aldo show.
[ saw the anaconda , the bearded
woman , and tbo educated hog , which
could spoil backwards and forwards
and was Immensely bettor in figures
linn I wan. I wont into the circus ,
inch riding ! I was delirious with joy.
When the trick mule catno out I got
on his back , just as the regulation
drunken man belonging to the circus
made a broad nwatho thronph the
crowd at the front door and foil over
against the ropes. I clung to the mule
Iko grim death. Bo bucked with me.
Bo backed mo against the center polo.
U9 rolled over and over in the ring
and wiped up moat of the lawdnst with
me. The clown lifted mo off. When
[ came to my senses the clown was
bending over mo. I was in the dross-
Iccr room jasl as I am now. "
"He a a plucky chap , " said a man
In tights. A half dozen other tights
nd spangles said I was a plucky fol
low , and then the first man asked mete
to travel with him. I had made ar
rangements to go to aca with the cap
tain of a canal boat. I broke my ro
mantic ODgapomont with the captain ,
and when the circus left town 1 wont
away , covered vith plasters , in the
land wagon.
"Tho man said he would take mo
as an apprentice for four yearn. This
.s the regular tlmo to servo nt the
aroBont day. Sometimes circuses Uko
ipproulicca. Sometimes performers
take them. The conditions are the
sumo. Circus adorn invariably begin
; o learn tholr art when children. It
s nsuleeu for any ono to try to bccomn
a performer nf ter ho has grown up , I
lever knew such a ono to succeed.
Vly teacher and patron gave mo my
joard and clothes , some spendltm
noney , many whippings , and when I
lad become a little proficient drew my
salary along with his own. I prao-
.iced an hour a day. Longer prac
tice is hurtful. I first learned to bal
ance myself on my hands ; then to turn
a back somersault ; It being an easier
somersault than a front one. Then in
.urn I learned flip-flaps , handsprings ,
orward somersaults , rows of forward
somersaults , beck ward somersaults in
rows , progressive and retrogreialvo
lip-flips and twister combined. This
eat belongs tor cross tumbling , the
most difficult ' kind , Not every per-
ormor does It. A flip-flap is turned
} y throwing yourself on your hands
on the very spot your feet wore a mo
ment before and than springing to an
uptight position. To throw yourself
on your hands a yard or no from whfre
; ou stand Is a 'lob-gob ' Only , ama-
ours do it. A. professional can turn
wenty-four flip flips in succession on
a spaoo six inchva cqnare.
"Ittook mo two years to learn the
online of tumbUcg and five years to
lecome proficient. I never lost prao-
.Ice for a single day. In winter I per-
brmed my feats every afternoon in
he circus barn. "
"Is it hard to turn a summersault
over five elephants. "
"It requires great nerve and entire
self confidence. If a man loses his
self-confidence ho will never do It.
Sometimes we fall became wo do not
strike the spring board right ; some-
limes because wo do not take the right
step , I never know any accident to a
: nmbler more serious than a sprain or
; ho breaking of his arm. I have no-
: iced that short men make bettor ar-
; lsts than tall ones , and that alortnosa
is a greater requisite than strength.
When the men rundown to the spring
board the the least skilful tumbler al
ways comes first , a Iras skilful second ,
and so on ; the best tumbler cornea
last. "
"Is it possible for a cross-eyed man
to turn a summersault over five elo-
phsnts ? "
"Emphatically , no. "
"Are any performers trying to learn
to turn thn trlpple summersault ? "
"Yes , It baa already boon done ,
but never satisfactorily , It is Impos
sible to get commando ! the third
somersault. An export porformojr
sometimes hits upon It by accident ,
but It Is never sure. In the third
somersault ono whirls around three
times as fast as ho does in the firs I
ono and it la only by chance that ho
may strike on his feet or keep on his
foot when ho does strike. In a
double somersault you go round twlca
as fast the second tlrao an yon do the
first. "
"Is the art of tumbling do voloplnR ? '
"Wo now turn a double back Bom
ersanlt from u man's hand. A few
years ago only ono somersault was
turned In this way. Half our art con
sists in the gracu with which wo do
our feats. The style of the tumbler
Is ono ot the principal points on which
ho is judged by professionals. No
two tumblers do the same thing in the
same manner For Instance , ono man
begins a round-off with ono hand , In
thli way ; a second , with the other
hand in another way. "
/'Are there different kinds rf stogie
somnntultt1 '
"We have four. They are called
divers , tacks , twliter * ind pirouettes.
The fint U , excepting' ' the rplroaette ,
.ho most difficult. In performing it
ho tumbler projects his body at full
ongth into the tr like a diver , and
does not turn till almost over the
cushion. la the second ho loans
straight up from the springboard , ho
; athora himself up like a ball and goes
> ver at onco. In a twister ho turns
ils body in such fashion that ho allgh's
with his face toward the nprlngboard
[ n a plrouotto ho twists himself twice
ai much as In a twister "
"Da yon think of any Interesting
act connected with your profession ! "
"Yes ; there are moro religions poole
) lo among the tumblers than in any
other line of circus performers , save
only the lady riders. "

A UNIFORMED "FAKIR"
Who Givoa Away Some ot the Allowed
Secrets ot the bhow Busluuef.
Mctclnnj Leader. (
" 1 am a reformed fakir , " said a
sleek-looking young man , as ho drew
ho reporter over Into a corner , "and
[ o'poso It won't kill mo if I glvo away
some of the secrets of thu business
Do you know , olr , that the smallest
show on the road hat to carry olgh-
eon thieves along ? Yep , sir ! and the
slggor the show the moro numerous
iho workers , I know of ouo big show
ast season that had sixty men at work
and received $8.0CO n week in privl-
egof , Of courao the proprietors of
iho show disclaim ill relationship with
the fakirs , but every Monday morning
, ho poor thieves have to come down
with the dust. It is wonderful how
many privileges there are with a big
show , aside from the legitimate. Ono
man contracts to work the big joint ,
ind pays from $2CO to $1COO a week
[ or the privilege.
"Don't know what a big joint Is ?
Why , it is whore a fat guy drops his
boodle on a represent. Yru never
bear about it unless ho makes a lick ,
ind as the chances are ho is a deacon
In a church , or a model man in the
jommnntty , ho keeps quiet , bearing
its loss In allonoo. The big joint is
inly worked for big money , a greedy
awycr , or whoever Is spotted , is in
iuood to go over to the show gron- ds
t > y two finely dressed , moral looking
men , whom ho baa met on the street
while watching the procession. As
: hey sidle around the sidoihow tout
; alkiiig nbont the woathi r , or
: ho crop : , or something , No 3 in glvnn
.ho algiul , and ho cfnien up ani
jogs thoBtrnt ) er ( ( ? ) to como In and
sue his line of curiosities noctmrgo
merely wants to advertise hfo ohow ,
otc , , and the victim gooa in. Ho runs
igaiuata 'brace.1 Ills now ncqiutnt-
nncos toll him how to win. If ho hca
the money in hln clothes ho laja it
iown , and if bo hasn't ho goca to thn
sank and gets it , No. 5 accompanying
lim. Of course , the poor man 'men
.ho Bhow' before ho conies out. These
r r cujo are wrikcd for from 8200 to
J-l 500 , according to the amount of
credit they have In the bank , and yon
can bet your life that the big joint
ins it all sized up before the meat is
tackled.
"If the gllly makes a kick then the
cqnaro has to work. A cqnaro is one
ol the most important men on the
oint. It ( s his basinets if he sees a
tick made to 'tqnare * the authorities ,
md then if the victim attempts to
lave anybody arrested ho cannot suc
ceed. In some places wo wore In the
quare would go around in the morn-
ng and square the town , that is , ho
ronld 'fix the mayor , police and jus-
ices , and then thu boys could work all
day aiid night , and if any ono threat
ened they would laugh at him. I re-
nember in an Indiana town the square
jftd fixed the place , and the very first
man roped In was the high sheriff of
.ho'county. The lads got | GCOO , off
ilm and ho kicked. By paying back
$1,200 they got It settled. I know a
man who bad the big joint with a
show last season who cleared $30 000.
As soon as the season wasovor ho went
; o Chicago and bought out a clothing
store. He says ho'll never go on the
road ajaln , but then wo all say that
"Well there's the 'llttlo
, joint,1 the
'drop case , ' the 'go-out , ' and dozens of
other privllegeo for thiovlng in a smal-
er way , and the show gets a big share
of the plunder. The roaion they rent
these privileges Is this : Those thieves
would go right along anyway and the
proprietors might as well have a beno-
iit. You have seen the man who sells
tickets awsy from the wacon ? Well ,
that follow pays fifty cents a piece for
every ticket he's got , and ho soils
them for just the immo , and besides ,
pays from $15 to $ . ' )0 ) a week for the
privolego of doing it. Bow does ho
make any money ? In making change.
The man who sells tickets for the sideshow -
show works in the same way. Lots of
'batchers' work without any salary
whatever. One man pays from $100
to $200 per week for the privilege of
working the 'go out * picking ptckots
in the jam after the show , "
"But I thought the largo shows car
ried detectives along ) "
"Ha , ha , ha-iw ! So they do , and
those detectives are paid their salaries
by the ether thieves. All they have
to do is to krop outside thieves from
working on the ground. If an out
sider is detected he is handed over to
the police. The privilege men are
never detoetod. I wns a detective part
of laat Beaten , and the big shows are
glad to bill the detootlvo feature
largbly , as it shnta up the ciyo of the
musses , But I've quit the bntiness
I do think that some mon are so green
they ought to bo knocked down and
their money taken from them , but
somebody else may do it hereafter. "
"What is the reason BO many ap
parently well-informed mon bite at
the big and llttlo joint ? "
"Because everything is done on a
represent. Yon nuke a man bellovo
that ha can got something for nothing
and ho'a pretty sure to oomo in. "

An Anmml Ceremony In Auetrla

From tha Louden Se. tint ) .
The ilufburK , tno chief palace of
thu Austrian sovereigns , has been the
scouo of an ecclesiastical ceremony or
act of devotion which is a curious rolio
ofmediural cuatouit. In aojordauoa
with a usage observed from time
immemorial on Maunday Tdorsduy
the ceremony of "washlt g the foot of
the poor" was this morulug performed
as usual by their Majesties at the im
perial residence. In the Middle Ages
the custom prevailed at many otaur
Oathollo Courts , but in the present day
to find a parallel would be impossible ,
except at the Vatican aud the palace ot
the Ktug of Spain.
The proceedings opened at 0 o'clock ,
when twelve old tnoti , of whom the
oldest is In his ninety-third year aud
the youngest olghty-sovuii , and twelve
old women , the oldest ninety six and
the youngest ninety , dnmed , as
usual , in the old German commit * ,
proeonted to ttiem by the emperor
aud empress , entered the court obapul ,
in order to rectlvo the sacrament , nnd
were then brought into the hall of
ceremonies at thu Uof burg. On each
sldo of the hall wan a table
with twelve covers , the 'ono
table for the old mon. and the
other for the old woman. They are
