“8AWDU8T TOWN. ’
Where Most of the Acrobats and Turn
biers Come From'
Where <lo all the acrobats and tumb
lers come from? Where do they learn
their trade There is no school, as
such, for the training of the men who
Imperil their limbs for a living. The
Advance Car Manager, of the Bun
Brothers’ Greater shows, which was
recently here billing for the appear
ance’of their exhibition, and who by
the way Is an old retired acrobat and
Is now following .the advertising
branch of the show business, solved
the above questions when he told
where he had learned to leap and turn
springs In the air and fall on the back
of his neck, without Injuring himself.
Most of the tented show acrobats,
and not few of the rough and tumble
commedlans of the stage, who have
graduated from the ring) were reared
and learned (he rudiments of their
business In the lumber towns of the
Northwest. In the business there are
known as “ Sawdust” towns, on ac
count of the sawmills, which are their
chief Industry.
Thero are many of these In Wis
consin and Michigan and several in
Iowa that have turned out the hulk ot
acrobats and tumblers In the business.
In the “Sawdust towns” the small
boys have exceptional facdlltles for
learning to turn somersets and hand
springs In the - gnat bo la of sawdust
that surround the mills. Soon they
begin to try the more difficult feats
they see done In the shows that visit
the towns. After school hours they
tumble until Ibis time to go home and
do the felons.? From out of them all
there generally TlW two or three boys
who get the knack of acrobatic feats
and these work In constant rivalry,
each trying to excel the other.
One day along comes a tented ahow
and the best bOy applies for a Job and
shows what he can do. Perhapa he Is
given s chance as a "top mounter,” or
a top man In a pyramid act, became
ho Is light and active. When he gets
older, heavier .gild stronger, he may
become an “understander,” or one of
ths men who help to bold tbe mountain
of men on. hi* shoulders. If bo worse
hard and studies he may become a
good acrobat In time. -But he got his
start on a sawdust pile. The Sun
Brothers Greater Shows which appear
here In the near future present as a
special feature an ensemble -of tome
of the very best acrobatic r.nd athla*
tic acts ever pot together, they will
be offered by such clever people os
the Atlas Troupe, LaJPaeflue Trouble
the Avallon Troupe and the Llnlger
Trio.

JOHNSON SAYS THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS O. K.
Washington, Dee. 8.—"I don’t think
the leaden ot the democratic party
are cast down by defeat, and It they
are right, aa I think they are, they
will wlnn eventually.’
Thus Gov. John A. Johnson of Min
nesota, expresses In an Interview his
abiding faith In Democracy.
"I think the Deomeratlc party is
In better position than It was before
the campaign opened. I am, of course,
unable to say what caused tbe result
to be what It was. Mr. Bryan was
much misunderstood, and was pur
posely misrepresented; there yas a
lack of organisation in the Democratic
party and a. unity of organisation in
Republican ranks. Then It la always
■o much easier for the party In power
to win.”
