 during the interim. It Is. in fact, | mammoth institution. Some idea of
 its magnitude may be gained from the fact that 1t employs the services Of | nearly HOO men and women: it re-
 1t from city to city: its stan of agents embrace dozen men who are paid | salaries equal to those received by a l bank president: 1t has four advertising | engaged In posting the bills and
 spreading the tidings of it's coming; 1t spends quarter of a million dollars every year for printing: it's newspa- | per bills aggregate another hundred thousand dollars; 1t maintains press bureau with five newspaper men to ! keep in touch with the public through the press; it employs over 300 high salaricd performers: 1t maintains spectacle at an average expense of | $l 900 day: 1t comes into town at daybreak. puts up twelve acres of tents. plays to from 15.0o0 to 25,OO0 specta- | tors and next day Is doing the same | thing a hundred miles away; it carries ! it's own commissary department. feeds ing tents as well and as generously
 as at first class hotel, and far moro | eXpcditiously: handles through it's ticket wagons and financial depart
 ment from $5.000 to Sl5 900 every day and costs from 5000 to 37,000 every
 day t runs.
 "The Barnum and Bailey show ex- | hibits it's magnitude and system in oth- | CT ways. It Is the only show that 1 provides tents for tho transaction or | it's financial business for the manager and for the stan of bookkeepers and l auditors. There Is also press tent | for the use of the newspaper mon. EN- | cry ticket is q coupon ticket. and eN- | cryonc who buys ticket for the show 1 is insured a seat. Standing room is
 never sold. There are three kinds of
