He had been before that a tumbler In a cir cus. We caught up to him In Russel vllle. K>\, and had to lay over three days so that he could get ahead. He was a great agent. He had S4OO or SSOO of hla own In his pocket, and we had to scratch around, Tom and I, to get 20 cents to buy some cheese and ersekers. “Sugarfoot Smith had to do ail the handling of landlords and constables. “Somehow we got to another town— I forget the name of this one—and we put up at the hotel. There was the ! price of a drink In the troupe. THURSDAY, OCTOBER “ ‘What are you all gotn’ to do here7* asked the landlord of the hotel. “ ‘We’re going te present the great Mclntyre and Heath Minstrels,” replied Sugarfoot “ ‘Not In this town, you all ain’t’ said the landlord. ‘Our op’ry done burned down.’ “ ‘Nevertheless,’ said Sugarfoot “we’re going to give the great Mcln tyre and Heath Minstrels In your town.’ “ ‘Where, may I ask?’ said the land lord, looking over his glasses. ‘“Right here,’ said Sugarfoot: 'hero In your dining room.’ “ ‘Well!’ the landlord roared at that, but Sugarfoot convinced him that that was his only chance of getting any money, so he let us rig up a stage on boxes and give our show. “We took in $lB5, which wms more to us than Barnum’s biggest receipts could ever have been to him.” Mclntyre and Heath In John Cort’s elaborate revival of ‘The Ham Tree” are hooked for an early appearance in this city.
