The Circus is Coming.

T "'V" w,th JlngilPf muslo and
d ' .'?'$. of mirth and wonder has mad
a p;- l itself )n Amnlcu life. The
multl-coUfcd poter. hung bo alluringly
on the Roadside barn, catch tha y of
th small boy aa ha wends hla way home
ward from school and make him lata for
tha evening chore. It extravagantly
worded and elabrately pictured promli
of scene of plndor and mystery arouse
In hi sanguine mind a rapturous deter
mination "to sea that show." It develop
in him a spirit of thrift and a propensity
for economy that. If maintained through
out hi life, would make hlra rich.
The tented city, coming In with the
ray dawn, rising peclr-llke out of tha
mist, revealing It wonder during the day
' and then disappearing In the darkness, la
almost like some trick In magic. The sys
tm by which all thla 1 accomplished ta
quite aa wonderful a tha astonishing
things seen in the ring. The ciroua men
. have perfected the routine of their calling
Jls every possible way. They have the add
V machine Id tha ticket wagon, tha cash
.register at the door, and they carry with
them their own portable telephone ystern
and electric light plant.
Before the clrcua cornea to town more
than 100 men have preceded It to perfect
I all arrangements. They are contracting
agents, advertiser and Inspectors. One
arranges for the railroad transportation,
one for the lot where tha exhibition 1 to
be given, on for the license, one for the
newspaper advertising, one for the blll
' boards, one for the livery teams to take
bill poter to the country, etc. The
no In advance have a world of detail
to look after. They must report on the
railroad run coming Into the town, as
well aa the one leaving It. The curves and
grades must an be Investigated so the
propeihtsJlowano for time may be made.
If there are tunnels It must be mad cer
tain tUat the heavy vans and tall elephant
cara will clear them. A careful report
also la made on tha haul from the railroad
yard to the exhibition grounds. It must
ascertained if all bridge and culvert
' strong enough to bear the weight of
the heavy van. Contracting for the dally
provision constitute another feature of
the advance work. There are from 700 to
M people with a large circus, and "show
day" is an event to be looktd forward to
by dealers in the towns along the route.
T eie is ho other calling which has such
l . day as the circus. It begins early
. V morning and runs well Into the
. -tliL The dusty engine are hardly un
coupled from, the trains until the canvas
covered wagon are rolling from the car
and trundling through the street toward
the lot. The scene at the grounds 1 one
which never fall to attract hundred of
spectator. There, Is hardly any other in
stance where so much work I accomplished
in so little time, the morning work being
the moat visible evidence of the highly
perfectf.1 organization. Order come out
of chao while you look. Every man has
hi place and every driver know where
hi wagon la needed and at Just what time.
Everything with the clrcu is on wheel
and It is of ttie greatest importance that
there be no delay in moving the wagons
containing th stuff. If the wagons com
promptly on the lot in the order that they
com from the car there ia little danger
of delay. First the stakea . and chains,
then the poles, then the canvas, and a
soon as the tents are under way the seats
ind apparatus for the performance. At
'the same time the wagons containing the.
cook tents, eating tents, stables, side show,
the meriaaerie. dsasalnv rOama mtm 'mmii
be delivered and their contents rushed Into
their respective positions. If there is de
lay in gettlqg th wagon from the cara to
the lot it means that tha parade must be
delayed.
The parade Is tha trial of the circus pro
y feaston because It comes in the morning
during the greatest rush of the day, and
If there la th slightest delay It run over
Into the business of the afternoon and
gives no tlm for rest for either the people
or the horses. On a hot morning when
there la a long haul from the car to the
lot the stock should have an opportunity
to rest, but this often Is impossible. More
accidents happen during the jam which
result frorn the parade than at any other
time during the visit of the circus. The
' "jyrolng. "Hold your horse, the elephant
are coming," often goes unheeded and
serious runaways are frequent. Great

anxiety alaays U felt by the msnagement
until this feature of th day's program Is
over. The proprietors of the Barnum at
Pelley show abandoned the parade alto
gether while In Europe, and found that Its
withdrawal greatly aimpllfled the handling
of the show without affecting the attend
ance. It could easily be done away with
abrosd. because th big clrcua Is a new
Institution over there and the people are
rot accustomed to all Its features ss they
are In this country. Another reason for
omitting the parade In Europe waa because
a great many people came to see It and
then went home satisfied.
The ticket wagon I the heart of the
circus. The finsnclal branch of the busi
ness Is an Improved and highly perfected
system in Itself. In th morning th treas
urer sends out his agents to pay bills,
dictate correspondence to a stenographer
and raptdly disposes of the various fea
tures of the day business. When the door
of th big show la thrown open a busy
hour follows for the men in the ticket
wgon. A big flv-pole tent will seat 10,000
people, and I the show "play to capa
city" all of this number must buy their
tickets and pass through the door within
an hour and a half. In fact, most of them
pass through -within an hour. This does
not afford much opportunity for the men
In the ticket wagon to be sociable. After
the audience Is seated the employee are
paid off. Every day I payday with th
big show, One day th performer are
paid, another the laborers, another the
driver and so on. Peopl who eland In
front of th wagon while the money Is
being taken in often marvel at the amount
of It, but they seldom remain long enough
to ae most of It go out again.
It costs a great deal of money to operate
a big clrcua There are no available stat
istics of the exact amount because no two
hews cost th same, and th expense for
no two day I Identical In the same show.
The mot concise proof that it 1 an un
certain calling la the fact' that there are
o few men who ucceed in it. Th big
one can be counted on the finger of one
hand. The first cost of circus property Is
great and it wear out rapidly. The prop
erty of a big (how 1 the accumulation of
years, with no two pieces the same ago or
In the same state of repair. It represents
an investment of hundreds of thousands of
dollars and yet it I only worth to Its
owner what he can make It earn in thirty
two week of uncertain weather. Expen
sive cage will get tuck in the mud and
be pulled to piece in the effort to get
them out, and great losses are sustained
In the death of valuable animals. During
the winter the clrcu animal must b oared
for, and a force of men kept busy arrange
lng for the coming season.
The circus proper never pay for Itself,
the profits coming from the reserved seat
ale, the side-show, th concert and the
privilege. If a show, could only have the
reserved seat sal left as profit, after all
expenses are paid, the season' work would
net a big gain. 8om ot th big act coat
tl.000 per week. In addition to the board
and transportation of the performers. The
bill for colored posters and other adver
tising matter during th season often
run aa high a $110,000, which doe not
include the coat of putting it up. The ex
pec of transporting th show from ono
town to another rarely falls below tUXX
The side-show is always a money earner,
because It does not cost in proportion to the
ring preformanoea. It-will tak la from
$250 to lf per day. The side-show per
,ftrmer hav longer' hour than anyone
else with th ahow. The familiar cry of
the "barker" and tha' hurry-up muslo of
th side-show band 1 th first challenge
of tha morning and th last rail at night.
Th side-show frequently will tak In 139
or HO while the big tent 1 being taken
down.
The show business has undergone many
important change during the past few
years. One improvement is the perfection
In the system for keeping an absolute
check on the advertising. Inspector are
sent through the country after the bill
poster are up, and others follow to see
that they atay up until the day of the
show. In the matter of lithographs a con
tract Is made with each storekeeper to keep
several bills in his window for a considera
tion of a number of free tick eta An In
spector goea around town just before the
show gets In and unless the paper la In
position in each place, the contrace it taken
up at the door and refused. Another new
thing 1 advertising only such features as
are actually given. Formerly shows ad
vertised without any expectation of living
up to their promises, but now If anything
happena to one of the acts that Is being
featured the special paper la at once ordered
"cut out."
The bane of clrcua life is rain and mud.
When there la fair weather everything goes
well. It la like camping out. With the sun
shining, the dust flying, and the country
folk crowding around th Inexhaustible
supply of red lemonade, th clrcu goea Ita
merry way with Us people quite aa happy
In the life a those in any other. Al
together It la not a bad thing, not bad -because
Its jingling music and ita atmosphere
of mirth and wonder serve to amuse the
young and drive away dull car for the
old. and anything which doe this even for
a day Is not without its excuse for being.

' .' , u
Th PaJImpseat club held its InHIal din
ner at th Omaha club Thursday. The
event was attended by about forty members
and gueau. A cumber of the members
were hot present on account of observance
of Holy Week. The slogan adopted at the
meeting was, "Learning, Development and
Culture." To exemplify theee standards,
two prominent speakers were called. They
were Samuel Avery, chancellor of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, and Rev. Prank La
fayette Loveland, pastor of the First Meth
odist Episcopal church of this city. John
L. Webster, president of the club, presided.
After a toast had been drunk to the suc
cess of the olub the members partook of a
banquet which put them In a reoeptiv
mood for the Inspiring speeches that fol
lowed. . Both speakers took as their themes th
advancement and development ot general
conditions.
President Webster explained the purposes
of the organisation as being to advance
th general welfare of the commonwealth
and to promulgate the doctrines of develop
ment, culture and learning.
The speaker of the evening was Chan
cellor Avery. He spoke of the tendencies
of college life that raise the standard of de
velopment and took, step by step, the differ
ent departments that bear direct Influence
upon the public at large.
Rev. Mr. Loveland spoke upon the splen
did vision that Is dlsoernable to the youth
of this generation who will look beyond the
ordinary things of life into the future or
development
Chancellor on Kdaeatlon.
"The education of the ordinary college
man, nowadays." said Chancellor Avery,
"is a great deal like a man ordering a
course dinner. He picks out what he
wants; his choice of soup, fish, meat veg
etables, dessert and beverages. He satis
fies himself. To develop properly he
should not choose what he most desires
but what will stimulate or prepare him
for the beat things in life. The elective
system in the colleges do not tend to de
velop. "Take tor inatance the medical depart
ment of the state university. Students
should have two years In science, two
years In cllnlo and two years In a hospital
properly to bring about what Is neces
sary to success In the medical profession.
"In the agricultural college of our state
university I do not believe It necessary to
devote four yeara to the course. In th
present curriculum there exists a combina
tion of the professional school and the
trade school, both ot which may b a wast
of time for one who want to benefit by
either eparately.
"Fraternity life In college I viewed dif
ferently In the city than it I In tha coun
try. In the city it I a clasa distinction,
whll in th country It 1 not Th frater
nity men of- th colleges are raising the
level of school life. They are inclining to
a higher scholastic level and are not set
ting a a standard a high social level.
In speaking of a higher vision. Rev. Mr.
Loveland said: "It Is not upon bogs nor
land that the future of the great state of
Nebraska depends, but upon the. higher
vision that the youth of our commonwealth'
takes. It Is the vision splendid that they
must be able to see; to appreciate tha
glorie that ar In tor for them if they
attain heights that are above the ordinary
levels.
"This vision should be backed by brain
and brain only grow by a higher develop
ment Progress may only b obtained by
a high aim."
