VETERAN SHOWMEN GET THEIR LIBERTY

Harry Carpenter and Poney

Miller Have by This Time Rejoined the Circus.

THEIR FINES WERE PAID.

MEN TELL OF THEIR EXPERIENCES IN A MOST ENTERTAINING .WAY WILL STEER CLEAR IF SHOW EVER COMES BACK.

IJarry Carpenter, colored, and Poncy Miller, veteran showmen, are once more at liberty and have by this time rejoined the Barnum & Bailey circus. Their partner, Edward Esteb, colored, is still in durance vile and will probably remain so until he has served out

his fine.

Carpenter, Miller and Esteb were arrested Saturday afternoon at the circus grounds for indulging in a crap game. Monday morning they were each fined SIO and costs for frequenting a gambling place and inciting a ri

ot. Carpenter and Miller secured

money due them by the circus manage raent and at once paid their fines.

"Dis is de first burg dat I ever lit la

where showmen was pinched for roll

In de bones." stated Miller, who is a product of the New York tenderloin. "I was only rubberin"" at de game, which was bein pulled off at de side of

de six hoss canvass wagon which 1

drives. Me for a wide steer from dis burg de next time dat the big show

plays here."

Carpenter and Miller have both been faithful employes of the circus for

years. With the show they have trav

eled all over America and a greater

part of Europe. Miller has been work

ing for the circus for twenty-one

years. Carpenter states that he made

no effort to start a riot. He said: "When the cop made a grab for me I does what any coon caught in a crap game would natch'ly do under de circumstancesstart to run. I couldn't get away, so I jes grabs a guy rope and hollers for de boss canvassman, who Is a friend ob mine, and who I knows would hab got me out of de scrape."

WHEAT MARKET STIL1JUSETTLED Sensational Reports Go the Rounds in Chicago.

FEELING OF UNCERTAINTY. Chicago, May 11 Wheat opened in the Chicago pit this morning, wild, irregular and unsettled. There were some, predictions that certain firms would announce assignments and re

ports abound that big houses are tottering. Trading - feature was light,

brokers fearing to get in. ,The pit

was not as wild as yesterday' but uncertainty is -pervading it. Every trader in market met his margin and passed the clearing house safely. This is regarded as most remarkable.

Hitting the Pace. Evidently the trusts are not getting all of our money, as we have been led to suppose judging from the way people are buying automobiles, or else some one Is holding out on Mr. Rockefeller and his associates. If the craze for the buzz wagon keeps on growing, the sport will lose mnch of its charm, for when everybody has a machine there will be no one left to b run over, and who would care for a cross country run without some victims? It would be altogether too tame for the man with sporting blood to come home with nothing checked tip to his credit but a few helpless chickens. We se but one way out of the difficulty, and that is to Insist that autos should be painted in different colors, according to their cost. Then the man who has one that cost over $5,000 could always feel safe in running down the fellow whose machine only set him back a paltry $1.5f'

targets along the railroad track. King resisted capture and he was badly beaten by the three. After King had been- thoroughly subdued his captors placed him on extension ties near one of the targets he was alleged to have defaced and was then securely tied with ropes. After King had been tied

to the ts his feet and wrists were also bound.. Was Not in Danger. Young King was in no danger of being run over by a train as the ties to which he was bound extend some distance from the rails but after his captors left him the , lad Immagined that he was , to -meet some terrible

fate and at once began to pick fran

tically at the rope which bound his

wrists. He soon unloosened these

after which the work of releasin

tively simple.

After Prosecutor Jessup learned the facts of the case he' bound Claude and

court. The Nicholsons have been

it is probable that this latest escapade will result in their being sent to the

reform school to join the Shank boys, who were in the same gang that the Nicholsons were prominent members

of.

Lincoln's Rebuke. The saying that there are few hon est lawyers did not hold true in the case of Lincoln. A man once calleJ to retain him on a suit. "State your case." said honest Abe. , The man did, and then Lincoln said: "I cannot represent you. for you are wrong, and the other party is right." "That Is none of your business if I employ you," said the client. "Pardon me," said the man who afterward became president; "my business is never to defend wrongs I never take a case that is manifestly wrong." "Well, but you can make trouble for the other fellow." "Yes," said Lincoln, "I can set a whole community at loggerheads, I can make trouble for this widow and her fatherless children and by so doing get you $G00 that rightfully belongs to her, but I won't do it." "Not if I pay you well?" "Not for all the money you are worth." was the reply.

"Now, another way that a man can

build a business." said a manufac

turer of specialties: "13 by making

something different from what the other fellow makes something unique and original. I remember when I was

a boy away down in Kentucky that an

old man named Gray u:ed to bring ginger cake and cider and watermelons into town on election day and draw up his wagon on the shady side of the

public square. There was a kind of a

flavor to that ginger cake and a sort of sweet glaze made out of brown sugar over the top of it that no other

ginger cake had, and he always tapped a barrel of cider that would bubble on

your tongue when you first tasted, li

lt was just naturally good, rich cider and made out of crab apples. Nobody

else In the country had trees that bore

such good fruit as old man Gray's did

Nobody else had such good cider

When you drank the other fellow's

cider the roof of your mouth reminded you of a cankered brass kettle. It was a prohibition town and, save when the

moonshine man would come along

boot-legging out his 40 rod, the boys who were Inclined never got anything

to drink that would make them want

to vote for Andy Jackson.

"I'll tell you, these people who are making things nowadays must always

keep grubbing up sassafras sprouts.

and if a man can, let him try to make something for the market that the

other fellow can't produce." Ideas the Things That Count.

"Yes. you're right about that,'

chimed in a hatter. "In my line of business there are scores and scores of

people making hats. Of course there

are a few," and here the master hat

maker let a gleam slide over his face

"who make stuff in my line better than others do, but still, no one of them has any very great advantage over the

other. But in some lines it's different.

Just look at these incandescent electric

light globes, for instance. The company that makes these has a cinch

Edison had an idea. He worked out

this idea and put it Into practice."

. "Yes, and I'll tell you another thing," spoke up the shoe merchant,

"he hit onto a thing that fits into the

needs of lots of people. If a man has

a corner on canary bird food he can't do as much business as if he were to

have a grip on all the wheat that erows. Everybody eat3 bread, but

only a few women buy bird seed."

"But," began the silk buyer, "whenever there's anything like making bread where it's very plain to any

mind that there will be a demand for it, you will always find a lot of people

going into that business. It Is a great

deal better to start up something on your own hook that nobody else has, than it is to start In on something that

everybody ia using and go into competition with others. Why, there's a firm out in Chicago that's doing a business of nearly half a million dollars a year

and what do you suppose that business is? They are making a preparation which is said to take the kinks out of negroes' hair. ' Who would think that a business like that would amount

to anything? Still, that firm's cleaning ud bushels of money every year. Of

course, there's an element of flimflam in the business. The stuff will straighten out the kinks all right but after a week or two they will come back again." Continuous Demand. - "That is a good thing for any business," exclaimed the hat manufacturer. "It makes a continuous demand." "Yes, you're right about that," continued the silk buyer, "but it would be better still to make something that will last and give permanent satisfaction and meets a genuine demand on the part of the general public." "Now, I know of a man who used to be a clerk in a grocery store in Kansas. He had saved up about a hundred dollars when a stranded book agent struck his town and unloaded on him. a hundred dollars worth of cook books. The agent, pictured in glowing terms the amount of money thi3 grocery clerk could make out of the book business, at which the smooth and wily agent himself had made a fluke. "The sucker bit. He went down in Arkansas and cleaned out that bunch cf books inside of a week. He made more money than he had made in a whole month at shooing flies off from molasses barrels. He bought another bunch of books and sold thera out and still another. "The next summer, he struck a fellow that was selling these here parlor picture things what do you call 'em? You put a sort of a do-funny up to your face and look through two glass eyes that make the picture look life size and have depth to it just like the thing itself." "You mean the stereograph," volunteered Joannis Carolianus. "Thank you, John" answered his

father's silk buyer. "Yes, sir; this fellow who had been a rube grocery clerk and had been done by a snagged book agent, let himself get it in the neck again, as one of these stereo-s what's ilie name, John?" "Stereographs," supplied Joannis

Carolianus. Nursed Business to Success.

les, as one of these stereograph agents handed him a bunch of those things. But the rube went down into

Arkansas again and had the greatest

success selling the pictures. The busi

ness at that time was on the bottle, but that very fellow nursed this business

carefully and to-day is making, in con

nection with his partners, a hundred

thousand a year. He travels in foreign lands, and his wife takes along a

nurse for the youngsters.

"I've often laughed when he told me how and why he started in. 'I knew,

said he to me, 'that I was a3 green as

a cymllng, but when that smooth agent showed me those things, he fanged me in the roof of the mouth and I couldn't

get off of the hook, either; but I

argued that most of the people in the

world were just as green as I was.

"After I'd been buying those things

from a concern for a while, I concluded that I would get cameras of my own and begin to make them myself. I really felt that there was merit in

those pictures. I, myself, had always wanted to travel and when I looked at those stereograph pictures I felt that I was right on the spot. When I went

out canvassing I saw that they pleased people, and I felt that what pleased

people could be sold to them. In a lit

tie while I took my brother In with

me and left my father to fill the or

ders that were sent in. Just we three worked this business then. And do

you know, gentlemen," continued the

silk buyer, "that this very yokel of a

Kansas grocery clerk to-day employs

from three to five thousand agents

Hundreds of young men in this coun

try to-day are making their way through nine months of schooling by spending three months of their time during the summer in selling these

stereographs?, They give satisfaction

and they last for a long time, but the

factory is continually making new sub

jects, just as the publishing house is

always making new books. He has

branch houses all over the world. Yes,

sir; the thing in manufacturing, is to make something that gives satisfaction

and on which you can repeat."

"Well, that fellow stuck to his busi

ness," remarked the specialty manufac

turer.

"Yes, and sticking to It is one of the

things that will help to win," replied the shoe merchant.

Some Leisure a Requisite. "Yes, sure," spoke up Watkins, look

ing straight at Joannis Carolianus and perhaps obeying a request of the

eallege boy's father "attending to

business will help to build a business; but at the same time there's no use in

man eternally drudging. The busi

ness man is the man of all men who should have some leisure time each day that he may devote to self-culture; and the professional men who are so set up about their accomplishments don't really know just how cultured many business men are men at whom they turn up their noses. First.

a man should attend to his business, to make a success of it. He need not, of course, be quite so ignorant of other affairs as one of my actor friends once was. I am sure you've all seen, Eddie Foy. Eddie, you know, is wise in the ways of the world, but he was about the most verdant Shamrock that I ever

knew when he first went on the stage.

He came right out of the Kerry Patch

of Chicago and made a hit on the first

ball pitched. He was under the man

agement of Henderson. After . Eddie had caught on good and hard in a

couple of plays, Henderson sent him over to Paris to select costumes for a new extravaganza. Just before he left

I met him on the street and he said

to me:

"George, come on and go over to

Pari3 with me.' '

'I'd like to go the best in the world

Ed, but I'm afraid I can't'

'Oh, come off! And come on. any

way; I'll give you the time of your life. See here, I've just received a letter from Miranda (Miranda was the Premiere Danseuse of the companv

wiui Foy) and she is at her. old home in Rome and she want3 me see, here's the letter to come down to ifiv

Then, in an undertone, he asked, 'And

say, George, on th" level, where is It'ly, anyway?' "

As the business men talked, Joannis

Carolianus, as it had been his custom at Harvard, made a few notes. These read: "To build a manufacturing business faking won't work; use good ma-

terial; make good stuff; create something new, which people like, which will be used widely; stick to business."

A Clever l-int. "You are so popular." sighs "the swain. "You Lave so many suitors!" "The ideal" smiles the fair young thing. "Why. I can-count them all on the fingers of my left hand. See. The Index finger is Mr. Smugforth, the second fiugr is Mr. Balder, and the third finger the third finger cf my left hand the third finger is you." Nest day he got the tins for ItChicago Po?t.
