and everything, will not be far from
$4,000. About So, 800 is what this town
and vicinity is expected to contribute to
the circus treasury, which means proba-
bly, that not far from 5000 people will
attend the two performances. Mr.. Rel,
the manager OF this car, has pleasant
little Office in one end, and has been
travelling in this position for 13 years
He says that the company gave this
year $4,000 to one printing firm and
$120, 600 to another. The circus season
on the road is from the 10th OF March
to the 31st of October, and Mr.. Rel says
that in this time many OF the employees
will save 500, $50 or 5000 The
circus treasury is really sort of savings
bank for them. They draw of their
salaries only necessary expenses, and, as
their board costs them nothing, this is
very small. Each employee has little
book similar to a savings bank book, in
which his account is kept, and at the end
of the eight months or when they leave
the company, the balance due is given
them. All employees who remain
through the season are given gratuity
of SIS month, providing their behavior
has been good.
