their service, and managers, finding
more agents than there is demand for,
retain the best and cay these much
smaller salaries than they formerly had
to. Still, there are some men whose
salaries run as high as 81, 600 in one
instance, and quite a number of men
receive as much az 81, 500 for the sea-
son-usually ak months in length.
OF late years quite q proportion Of
performers come from gymnasiums,
and many of these have been young
men who have impaired health by too
much study, and find in circus life the
physical exercise necessary to health
and the qualification of a desire to
travel inculcated by reading or the
nomsdic instinct so natural to the
young.
d IN THE PROFESSION.
"Of the women that enter the pro-
fession their origin Is not always GER
tain, but a majority OF them are born
into the business and know nothing
outside of it. There are o few nota-
BILE exceptions, but perhaps a major
ity of them are women Of only orGi-
nary mental attainments and pscu-
lisrly xclusive lives, however con-
trary to common opinion that may
seem. Until they are married, and
that is generally early in life, they
are almost invariably accompanied by
their fathers, brothers or mothers,
whose surveillance Ia usually very
strict. Ladies' who ride or per orm
daring feats locks down upon men,
bers of their own sex like the pretty
Montague, who are not acrobats.
They declare that such ladies have
no talent A woman born pretty Ia
regarded by them In the same sense as
q woman born with a beard or no
arms merely as a curiosity. Circus
people seldom care to make acsuaint-
ances outside of the bulinees. This
applies particularly to the women.
Knowing that they are regarded as .
class In rs fair a light as they should
be, they return the same sort Of dis
lust, and outside of their most In
innate family friends hardly know or
rust any one. Perhaps to emphasize
his fact, I can cite an instance In my
own experience where l have been
with a company which included some
thirty women, and, although l stood
close to the management, my &C.
q naintance with the women was never
more than the ordinary exchange of
salutation, except with two, and they
were both married ladies and old
enough to be my mother. Public
opinion concerning circus ome is
almost entirely n and does
them the grossest injustice. although
this opinion derives It's origin from the
very exclusiveness the women depend
upon for their protection. The pub
lie knows circus people al being
all of one kind and class, when, In
truth, there Is as much diversity
among them as is possible to con-
ceive In a like number of people
banded together in any other call
Ing. Even the laboring men are
saving and support families with
their small wages. The pontofice
money order system Is q great aid
In that dire ction, and every payday
finds them all over the country buy
ing Uncle Sans orders upon the
postoffioe where they live. l have
given ysu a true picture of q people
that everybody sees but nobody
knows. How do you like III"
