That In. charge his funny costume- now
nnd then.
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. The Dana oian c even iw

stunts which a few years ago would
have made every one in the audience

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.

working man aged about 25 years, shot
himself In a barn on the Patton road

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

revolver with which Schmidt took his
life was on the hy. He had placed the

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.
