The really valuable man to a circus Is the man who can "double" the most and take part in the greatest number of stunts. And in this the clowns are there, strong. The clowns were up-to-date. By this Is meant that the merry widow and her hat were shown. Rill Taft imper sonated; Bill Brvan and his donkey were there, and all that sort of thing. The trapeie performers were partic ularly numerous ana unusuany nra Triple somersaults among the aerlaljsts were nothing.

Among the 20.nhO persons were sever al voungsters who had never seen a circus before One In particular, hnd been up all dav and seen the circus un load for the first time, witnessed Ills first parade and with "daddy" saw his first real show. After the show he was dragged home, tired and sleepv. about all In generally, but happv. Last night In his dreams he saw elephants and monkeys and gaily attired performers and beautiful horses and dogs and a thousand other things that he would give anything In the world to possess. .And then this morning be awoke to find himself nn eartli again. ";ee, that was a good show," he said. A thousand years from now that same boy will Ftlll be attending every circus that conies to town. He will remem ber his first night at the circus and that fond recollection of boyhood will take him under the canvas again every time that he gets a chance. It is that recollection of one's youth and bis first circus that makes every one want to go to a show as long as he lives. S. P.

Leaving behind a note bidding fare well to every one, Charles Schmidt, a working man aged about 25 years, shot himself In a barn on the Patton road last Thursday. A. Slater, owner of the barn, saw a man lying on the hay p"e in Ills barn last evening. He supposed the man to be drunk and did not disturb him. Ijiter in the evening he took a lantern to the barn to sec If the visitor had gone. Instead of a drunken man he found a body with a bullet hole In the head. The barn Is on the Patton road near where the Council Crest cars meet the Portland Heights cars. Deputy Coroner J. J. Dunning made an Investigation at once. He conclude-1 It to be a straight case of suicide, anil no lnquopt will b.- held SchHiLl! bad scrawled "Farewell to everybody" on a pice of paper found by his side.

He had placed the muzzle to jiiji ca,r and fired. Mr. Plater remembers hearing a shot near his house lnst Thursday, hut as a car was passing at the time he was not sure whence it came. He did not go pear the hay until last esening.
