ROOSEVELT VACILLATES.

Away back in the z0's Horace Aus

was an honest man and had been an
upright judge before he was elected
governor. He believed in the state
supervising the railroads, and the
railroad men determined to defeat

Austin without his knowing what hit
him. But the governor had a tinge
OF the wisdom of the serpent. and
without consulting friend or foe made
a public speech in which he said that

roads over hell" and the people be-
lleved he would do it and reelected
him. He virtually if not literally full
filled his promise to the people by
using his influence for the creation of
a railroad commission with power to
declare a rate unreasonable and make
a reasonable rate in place of the rate

quence of this the people of Minnesota

n stand fast on his repeated dec
iaration to give the interstate com
merce commission power to fix a rea-
sonable rate in lieu of a rate It has
decided was unreasonable, congress
would pass such a bill. Knox and the
railroad men are urging the maximum
and minimum rates as the popular
programme, and back Of it all the
railroad lobby, with its firm hold on
the majority-the great majority-of
the Republican senator's, hopes to so
mix things up and delay action that
the appropriation bills will begin to
be sent over from the house and rail-
road legislation will be sidetracked
for the session.
If President Roosevelt would do a
little shaking, like old Gov. Austin
did, and stand firm, instead of shilly

were talking about, l told him:
Nothing particular, only they say
the ten of them could lick you 20
Russians in four minutes"
Gee, didn't that Russian talk kopec
and damski, and froth at the mouth.
Then he called his Russians together,
and the talk sounded as though a
soda fountain had burst. Then they all
yelled: "Killovitch the monkeyouskis."
I went and told pa there was going
to be a riot between the Jap Jug
glers and the Russian horsemen, and
probably the fight would take place
when the Japs came out Of the ring
at the afternoon performance, and the
Russians went in, right near the
dressing-room. l asked pa not to
mix in it, but keep away in the animal
tent. Pa said, not much, he wouldn't
be away, and he told all the managers.
and they all got around the dressing
room to stop the muss, if one started.
Well, to show how the Japs were
organized, Al soon as they felt there
was going to be a row, they kept
their eyes on the Russians all the time
they were In the ring doing their pole
balancing, and the little Jap up on the
bamboo pole, with a fan, kept jab-
bering to the fellows down on the
ground, and | could see that trouble
was coming. When their act was over
the Japs bowed to the audience, and
started out where the Russians were
lined up to come riding in. The big
Russian said: Look at the little
monkeys" but he hadn't got the
words out Of his mouth before the
Japs turned, and every man grabbed
the tail Of every other horse, and
jumped up behind the Russians. and
each of the ten Japs took a Russian
by the neck with a jiu jitsu strangle
hold, and reached out his leg and
wound 1t around the Russian on the
next horse, and In ten seconds they
lad endorsed the 20 Russians. The

with dynamite, which exploded when
he struck it, and the neighbors picked
his remains up IN a dustpan and emp
tied them in here. Then he asked If
his head was on straight, and the cir
Gus men took him away to the hospital

The circus hands separated the Rus
SLAMS and Japs, or at least pulled
off the Japs, and the Russians limped
to the dressing-room, and their act
was cut out. Unless the terms OF
peace between Japan and Russia in
clude the %belligerents in our show, there
will be rows every day.
Pa came to the car on crutches that
night, just before the train pulled out
for Philadelphia, and wanted to know
where I was during the fight. He
said he rushed right in and grabbed a
Jap in one hand and a Russian in
the other, and bumped their heads to-

cause some day the big Russians would
ride right over them, and kill them
right in the ring. l said that every
body thought the Japs ought to resign
from the show, for fear of a clash with
the Russians, or else they ought 70

the circus people were afraid the Rus

awhile, and then the interpreter told
me that the ten little Japs could whip
the 20 Russians in four minutes.
Probably it was none of my business,
and I never ought to have repeated it,
but in a circus everybody wants to
know everything that is going on 30

The queerest thing that ever hap
pened in the circus business in this
country took place at Germantown,
Pa. The teamsters went on a strike
at P%ittsburg, for increase in wages and
shorter hours. and for two days the
management had a great time.
We had to get drays to haul the
stuff from the train to the lot, and
then our teamsters got the local dray-
men to join them, and when we got
ready to haul the stuff back to the
train nobody would do any work, and
the walking delegates from the Team
sters' union just took possession Of
the show, and we we're stuck, like an
automobile when the gasoline gives
out.
We had got to looking at the team
sters as of nc particular account when
they walked out, but when they
wouldn't work. they became the most
important part of the show, and after
the show was over the managers who
had told the striking teamsters to go
plumb, found that they had gone
plumb. and they had to rush all over

whole 80 men were on the ground roll
Ing In the sawdust, the Japs rolling
over and under the Russians, twisting
their legs and arms In an unknown
manner, and making them yell for
help like a mastiff that has trifed in
an overbearing manner with a little
bulldog, until the bulldog got mad
and began the chewing act on the mas
tiff's fore leg.

and the managers told pa to put a
stop to it, and pa pulled off his coat
and grabbed the first Jap he could dig
out, and began to pull him, like you
would take hold of the leg of a dog
in a fight.
Pa said: Here, quit this foolishness,
cause there is an armistice, and the
wal is over, anyway"
o! o! but the Jap didn't do a thing
to pa. He grabbed pa by the wrist,
ana he seemed to be having an epilep-
tic fit, and pas leg shot out so mis-
feet hit a guy pole, and then the Jap
pulled him back like he was a rubber
ball on a string, and then he took pa
by the elbow and held him out a,
arms length, and then swung him
around a few times and let go of him
ana he fell down among the reserved
seats which representatives of the
press occupy. Pa stood on one ear
on a crushed chair, with his legs over
the railing, and when he came to,
the newspaper men wanted to inter-
view pa. Pa said all he remembered
was that the air ship was sailing over
the town, and they threw him out for
ballast, and he struck a church spire
