How the Show and Its People Are

p!oyed. and that OF these there are
blacksmiths painters. carpenters. bar-

detectives, cooks, tfainmen, butchers,
walters. seamstresses, harness max
crs. musicians, shoe makers, Il post
master, hastlers, electricians and
many othe. mechanics and artisans,
hceides the performers. all jumbled
together and working Tor common
interest.
The task of organizing this travelling
city seems the most wonderful fea-
ture Of the institution. In DoWnie Il
Wheeler's winter quarters. the home
of these new giant shows, the work Of
orga nizing the circus began last Sep
TENDER The important thing is to en-
gage the acts, and this is done by
agents of the show, who, during t!lt
winter. visit the amusement shalls of
Europe and Asia in search of novel
ties. Meantime. in the ring barns the
trainers are putting the various ami
nal acts into shape a few weeks
before the season begins the various
performers who have been resting dur
ing the winter arrive to practice then
acts. that they may be perfected by
the time the regular rehearsais be
gin and all winter the sound of the
anvil and the mallet is heard at the
circus quarters. Meantime the adVer-
Using cars have started out IN adj
vance while the various CONTRACTING
agents are on their way, arranging
for circus lots and bill board space,
etc. Then there is the 24-hour man,
who is story in himself. He gets
his title from being "A hours ahead OF
the show, arranging for wood. water,
food and ice. besides attending to
many other matters that have arisen.
Everything about the DoWnie &
Wheelers Combined Shows has been
so systematized that it is like great
clock. All sorts of obstacles are
overcome daily with no boasting
Every day brings some new problem
to solve, but when daylight appears
the great canvas tops are unGulating
i'm the breeze and everybody is ready
for the parade. 1t is true that of all
professionals, none are more domestic
than the circus performer. He may
lead the life OF rover the greater
part of the year, but like the snail,
he carries his house around with hlm
and has many homely comforts that
the ordinary traveller can not enjoy

Sixth Sent to Distant Stations.

Junction City, Kant is rumored
at Fort Riley that the Sixth Field ar
tillery will leave in the spring for a
new station. 1t is said that the regi-
ment will be divided, a part going TO
the Philippine islands and part to
the Hawaiian islands. The rumor has
been afloat for some time that the
department was to make Fort Riley
a cavalry station, and it is believed
that if the artillery IS ordered away,
cavalry regiment will be sent at
once to replace it. The indications
are that the plans of the war depart
ment regarding the Encouragement and
mobiliza ton of troops at the larger
posts will soon be announced and that
there will be a general transfer.
