the idea. He wanted to be a show
man and a Snowman he became the
day he drove out Of Utica with his
five wagons. He had just been mar
ried and his wife drove one of the
teams. 1t was her honeymoon trip
and it lasted two years, until the little
show reached Cincinnati Ohio, then a
village on the banks Of the Ohio river.
Robinson liked the place and selected
it as permanent quarters. Land he
bought at that time for pasture for his
horses is still in the Robinson family
and on a portion Of it is situated the
famous Robinson opera house. And
it is directly across the street from
Cmcinnatis city hall,
Year after year Robinson drove
away from Cincinuati with his show
and every year he Increased it in size.
He possessed family Of growing sons
and they we're speedily initiated into
the workings of the circus. When
war was declared the elder Robinson
enlisted in an Ohio regiment and his
sons continued the circus At the
close Of the conflict Robinson gave a
percentage OF ais daily receipts for
the rehabilitation Of southern school
houses and churches which had been
damaged during battles.
The old man died in 1866 and his
place was taken by John f. Robinson,
his eldest son, who is now retired and
lives in Cincinnati He is known in
the circus world as "The Governor.
This son discarded wagons as a means
of transportation and placed the cir
Gus on barges pulled by steamboats,
and played river towns for years. His
show was the first to use railroads for
transportation and the first to journey
to California and return the same year
1t was the first show to use gas lights
and then electricity and the first to
organize the now popular three ring
circus"
James A. Bailey, late manager and
owner Of the Barnum and Bailey cir
Gus, worked as an agent for Cover
nor" Robinson The old show made
Dan Rice famous as a clown and pro.
duced James Robinson, known years
ago as the champion bareback rider
of the world.
The Robinson circus has been first
in all arenic innovations and this year
has forged ahead Of all competitors
by using gas for cooking purposes
The gas is generated daily in special
ly constructed machines

active service several years ago and

Now it takes three trains Of sixty cars

country, is billed to visit Chickasha

CHINESE FARMS SMALL.
Hardly More Than Gardens, and The
Cultivation Is Intensive.

Cultivation Is Intensive.
It is incorrect to speak Of the Chinese
as farmers in the strict sense OF the
word, for they are gardeners rather
than farmers. A so called Chinese
farm is no larger than what i'll Amerl-
ca would be called u good sized gar
den, and the methods of cultivation are
of the most intensive sort.
Generally speaking, it seems that the
greater the prosperity Of the agricul-
tural family the larger the number OF
children; hense in turn the greater the
number of mouths to feed. IN addition
prosperous conditions always bring
with them greater expenses incident To
family festivities, such as weddings,
which stand out as all important con-
siderations in the lives Of the Chinese.
In Manchuria the conditions are
somewhat different, for there are vast
stretches Of land open to cultivation on
a much larger scale than in China
proper. These tracts are generally
worked by hired farmers, who come in
hundreds of thousands from the more
densely populated sections Of China to
spend the short farming season in
northern portions, returning again
when the cold weather makes further
labor in the fields mpossible.-United
