single foolish act. But every oath Ia

CIRCUS LESSONS.

Discipline Is one of the spokes in the
circus system wheel, says a writer In
the Cosmopolitan. In the modern cir
Gus no swearing Is allowed, as women
and children may hear 1t. Cards, dice
and drink are prohibited. This Is not
the conception which the public holds
concerning circus people, but strength
and steady nerves are needed for cir
Gus feats, and dissipation of any kind
would soon leave the performers with
out profession. 8a
When a big American circus was
abroad the German Emperor came one
night lncognito and watched them un-
load the fiat cars. Their system so i'm
pressed him that he had some of the
officers Of the German army see 1t and
adopt some of their methods.
In landing the circus outfit the first
man there Is the "layer-out."' He gen.
orally decides in about ten minutes
the building Of the white city proceeds,
everything seems to be In confusion, a
tangled mass. Men are running every
way; wagons seem to be dumping their
loads promiscuously but every wagon
Is lettered or numbered, so Is every box
or trunk. and all have their proper
places. This great tumble of wagons
grooming and creaking In the soft turf
and men shouting and singing Is all
working as one great whole to an end.
But although they all work together,
each man Is taught to think for him
self, and when a man shows ability, he
Is soon noticed. One instance Of this
was afforded by young man who was
studying medicine in the winter, and
thought season in the fresh air would
harden him for his next winters work.
The only job he could get was as a can
vas man. But he was able to think for
himself, and promotion soon came.
The circus child Is not taught by
blows, but by kindness and patience,
and the circus management insists that
