 Love Rough Life.
THEY CONCEAL IDENTITY
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enqulfef.
 After you have visited the show grounds and watched the army of men employed hustling about the various tasks did 1t ever enter your mind as to where the circus secured this contingent of labor ing men and what character they bear You would be surprised were you to start out to write a biography of some of these fellows who act as canvas men, hostlers, etc. said a press agent of one of the large circuses.
 You would find that many of them were well educated from good families, mechanics of rare skill, professional men, and such like. Just why they have cho- sen the menial positions with the cir GUS no one but themselves can answer, and that is a subject usually which is rarely discussed among them in the hear ing of outsiders. I remember of an in cident occurring with our show some years ago, where the show was partially wrecked by a railroad accident out west. in which several were injured The ser- vices of the shows physician were over- taxed. when, to the surprise of us all, a canvasman, wearing oyeralls stepped to the doctors side and offered to set the limb of the poor hostler who had his right leg broken in two places
 Was a Surprise.
 The doctor, with somewhat indignant air, wanted to know of the roustabout what he knew about surgery, whereupon the canvasman produced from an old worn pocketbook physicians diploma of med icine and surgery. It was no time for ar gument and the newly discovered M. D. was given permission to go ahead and set the leg, which the canvasman doctor did, and he went about it with a skill that as- l tonished every one I tried to feel this fellow out afterward, to know where he came from and how it was that he was travelling with a circus as q roustabout hut answered me evasively, changed the subject and walked away and in few moments was busy with the stakedrivers driving pegs, as you term them.
 "On another occasion, while the show was touring California, canvasman had been arrested for committing some mis- demeanor. On his way to the lookup he managed to get word to one of his col leagues to have a hostler come down and see him. The hostler went to the prison, i held an interview with the judge, and in 1 less than an hour both men were back at work on the show grounds. It was

A "Razorback" EuIoqy.

with the great number of men em- ployed with the shows it is safe to say that there Is hardly a traue or profession which is not represented among them. One of the most touching eulogies l ever listened to I heard from the lips of razorback (man who works on the train) over the grave of a dead comrade in Penn sylyania. This train hand, in times gone by, had been a Methodist minister. Yel- low fever destroyed the family; he gave up the pulpit, became railroad man, and later on drifted into circus labor.
 There is a canvasman with the show now who is an expert jeweler and watch maker. The manager of the show wears very fine. striking gold watch three bell. split second, etc, and there are but very few cities in the United States where this cronometer can be repaired when out of fix. It Is one of those intricate pieces of mechanism that few watchmakers are familiar with.
 Not long ago the managers timepiece got out of order and he was preparing to send 1t to New York to have it overhaul ed, when delicate lookink, curly-headed canvas worker accosted the manager and told him he was a watchmaker by trade and that he would be pleased to put the complicated timer in repair. He was al- lowed to undertake the job and the next day the manager got his watch back in perfect order, with the apology that if the workman had been provided with bet ter tools the task would have been com pleted sooner.

afterwards aseertained that this hostler had been lawyer of renown in Boise City, and that he was a senator from Idaho only few years before I did manage to learn some of his history. It seems that while practicing law in Boise City he had been guilty of betray- ing a clients trust and was disbarred, and in his after wanderings wound up by Joining the circus to work on stock.

All Roustabouts.

These cases that. l have cited you come from the positions occupied by roust- about laborers, men who prefer to do the rough work with a circus to lighter and more profitable work without travel. There seems to be a fascination about circus life that. with all it's hardships and exposure to weather ninety-nine men out of one hundred when they have once had a taste of trooping, as they call it, never care for any other way of earning a live lihood. Getting to see the country is probably one of the main reasons so many men give up comfortable employ ment at home to follow the white tents and hear the band play. Yet many more of these fellows join a circus for the love of excitement, but to learn just how the army of show canvasmen come together you had best interview these peculiar crews yourself. There is hardly a one of them but from whom you could get an interesting story if you could persuade him to talk freely. In the ranks of the laboring element of the circus there are many big hearts and brainy characters concealed in suits of overalls."
