How the Circus Man Eats.


SMALL BOY THINKS 1T Is.
From the Cook.
Mr.. James NJ. Nixon, who knows all about
circus, said to the Cook: "There are no people,
excepting plainsmen-the skirmishers over tho
wild country of the west-who live SO hard a
life as circus employees, both performers and
workingmen. Their life is not as hard now, it
is true, it was some years ago, excepting
with the small concerns. They are the wagon
shows that travel through the small towns.
But even with big concerns that travel by train
1t is hard enough now.
Take the case OF wagon show that has to
travel thirty miles after night performance
to get to- fie-next town, where street process
sion is TO be made in the forenoon. The work
men, canvasmen, and the like have to take
breakfast at IL O'Clock at night. Then they
get no meal till dinner, after the procession,
say at noon. Wherever they are, the work
consideration. With the performers, gy nnasts,
riders, clowns and the Ii Ike, ii is not so bad.
They get better pay and better food As
had where they happen TO be. and they take
great deal OF it, Most of them are great beef
eaters, and are not very particular whether the
meat is cold or hot, SO long as it is good and
plenty. They are very particular, however,
about cleanliness. | have seen twenty or thirty
table cloth was dirty. And when they want q
meal they want 1t, and will have it. have
often seen them leave a hotel where they would
have To wait fifteen minutes for a dinner that
was paid for, and go to II restaurant where they
would have to buy another. They won't eat
stdlesE they are hungry; but they are always
hungry after q night performance, and viii not
go 10 bed without a hearty supper They say
they CAN'T sleep il they are empty.
lone thing that is peculiar about them is that
they do not take medicine. and they are re-
markably healthy. When they are out of sorts
they diet themselves each one according to his
own ideas; but don't think | ever saw $50
worth of medicine around circus in all the
years have been in the business. Yes, they
drink. Not to excess, but nearly all of Them
drink when they feel like it, They never drink,
however, before performing. They are very
careful of themselves. They have TO be Or they
would not last long.
'As q matter of course, with their irregular
habits, they are, in a certain sense, eXtriya-
CANT. Their extravaganza, however, is mainly
in the matter of eating. Experience teaches
them very soon. if their own sei:se does not at
first, that they must take the very best possible
care of themselves physically, and that good
eating Is a primary consideration.
There has been in late years vast improve
mont in all departments of the travelling cir
c!fs. and in nothing has this been more oOserv-
able to those in the business than ia the provi-
siOns made for the health and comfort vi the
employees. A good chief cook with circus will
get as good a salary frst-class performer,
and has to earn it.

The Congregational church added fo, +
members to their number at their last
church meeting. We hear that several
more will soon unite with them. Every.
thing goes to show us that the Young
pastor was not miscalled here. A good
live worker is what has been wanted
here for years. a minister struck with
death never could succeed in any church.
There is little stir in the wool mar
ket. Several woOl-buyers were in town
last week. Our old solid wool-men re-
fuse to take ID to IS cents and have from
l5 to 20 fleeces shrunk. This shrinking
is Il piece of nonsense. One party that
did buy insisted on shrinking eight
fleeces and in the lot there We're some
dozen or more flecces that weighed even
more than the fletces shrunk.
Judge Abel Walker has bought and
had set up one of the finest Columbian
marble monuments that we ever saw.
The job of setting is bad one and we
hear it is to be reset in the spring, if it
does not fall before that time. 1t is
rather careless way of leaving so nice
a piece of work, but we are not doing the
job; therefore will say no more about it
unless it does come down and tn N.

Mr.. George Bryant met with rather
serious loss last Friday night. One of
his team horses was taken sick and. as
usual. some of the neighbors were called
in and prescribed every thing that has
been given to horses since horses were in

worse all the time; finally two old vet

Addison.

On the evening of December 81. large
number of the many friends of Mr.. and
Mrs, ii. A. Sickle assembled at their
home in Addison to celebrate their twen-
tleth marriage anniversary. The roads
were almost impossible, the rainstorm
and the wind were not inviting. but all
these were not to prevent the surprise of
the evening. The house was filled al
most to its capacity. Among the enter
tainments of the evening were vocal and
instrumental music by Mrs. Mary Smith.
Miss Susie Norton, p. b. Norton. Miss
Addie Sprague of Crown Point. n. y,
and many others. At the proper time.
Mr.. w. o. Hindes of BridporG presented
Mr.. and Mrs. Sickle. in his usual
graceful manner, with beautiful hang
ing lamp and marble-top ccnter-table
Mr.. Sickle responded in an able manner.
Later in the evening, but before the cock
Growing, there was presented by Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Owen an engraving in memory
of the Green Mountain rooster. where
upon MIR. Sickle expressed his regret
that ne was not IA speech.maker and could
not DO justice to the occasion. As the
closing houIs of the old year drew on the
