PEOPLE MOBBED CIRCUS.
The Most Exciting Time ip the Rxpe-
rience of a Famous Amer
lean Snowman.

Everything was smooth sailing for
us, writes James A. Bailey in Success
Gin relating the experiences OF the
Barnum & Bailey circus in EurOpe),
except in the south Of France. In one
performance after striking south from
Paris, we pitched our tents a little way
outside the city limits under the brow
of hill. At one o'clock in the after
noon we had made up our minds that
we were going to have Cne Of the
slimmest audiences in our experience.
Things had a very dead look. But at
half-past one the people began to
swarm over the hill top. 1t seems that
at noon a half holiday had been pro-
claimed and the citizens had been fin
ishing the work of the day, prepara-
tory to the afternoon at the circus.
The whole population was coming to
see the show. In 20 minutes all our
seats were sold, and yet the people
kept swarming in upon us. We shout
ed to them that there was no mora
room inside, but this made little i'm
preston. They were there to see the
show, and didn't propose to be disap-
pointed. They began to get excited.
What had been merely a peaceable
throng of merrymakers was taking on
the appearance of mob. Our best in
terpreter made a speech to them, in
which he asked them to name one of
their leading men. Full Of curiosity,
they shouted out the names of several
Finally one came forward, and he was
requested to select a committee of
four, who were to go inside to ascer-
tain for themselves and report to their
friends whether or not the tent was
completely filled.
The committee was appointed, and
was escorted inside. The men came
out in few minutes and one of them
mounted ticket sellers stand and an
woman with baby in her arms called
out something and rushed past the
ticket sellers. This was in the Joan
of Arc country, you know, and this
woman seemed to possess the spirit Of
the Maid of Orleans. Instantly the mob
was surging in behind her. Many be-
gan to cut the guy ropes and crawl in
beneath the canvas. The circus was
being raided, and we were fearful that
there might be panic and great loss
of life. But meantime one of our men
had galloped to the town, and just
when things were looking most ON
tnous, and we began to be sure that
they would pull the tent down upon
their heads, half regiment of cavalry
came racing over the hill With drawn
sabers they cleared out the people
who were not seated, and then they
surrounded the tents. Finally, after a
long delay, we were able to give the
performance. That was the most ex-
citing time ever experienced in the
show business. To make sure that
there might be no repetition of it we
had detail of 400 soldiers around our
tent at all subsequent performances in
the south of France.
Willmar tribune., 1904-09-28
PATRICK WAS A WISE GUY.
he Explains What He Would Do
with His Money If he Had
Lot of Wealth.

According to the Hartford Courant,
a group of veterans were telling sto-
ries at the Allyn house, and one of
the number related one about when
his regiment was down in northern
Virginia. He said:
I'VE were sitting around the camp
fire one night, and, for lack OF any
thing else to talk about, we began to
tell what we'd do if we had lot Of
money. One soldier said it ne had a
pile Of money he'd spend it all for
tobacco; another said he'd get out
of the army and go to Europe; one
said he'd buy yacht, and everybody
which to lavish untold wealth. An
Irishman in the party sat smoking his
pipe, and didn't seem to have much
to say about it, One of the boys
asked him what he would do if he had
a lot of wealth.
"Well, DILL tell yez phwat I'd do,
moighty quick. Old hire substitute,
and Old go to New York, and Old put
up at the biggest hotel in the city. Old
order about three pounds of porther-
house steak, and Old have it smoth-
cred wild about pound of butther,
and Old have the foinest feed of me-
loife. And thin, begorra, Old buy
a New York newspaper, and go out in
