The lowest-level pay is $75 a week. Seventy-five, incidentally, is what the butt of the ancient joke, the kid who tidies after the elephants, receives. It may be the arts, but at Carson & Barnes it means disposing of twelve fragrant cubic yards a day. James K. Judkins, general manager of the circus, started this...
