ut takes brains to play the fool"
So the equestrian director of the Sells
FlotO shows said when asked concern
ing clowns and Glowing.
Il have been in the circus business all
my life, and during that interesting Pc
riod have. like an actor, played many
parts. l have made a close study of the
profession, and particularly the clown
department, for there is nothing to a
circus without clown.
1T has come under my observation
that the brainiest performers always
make the best clowns and produce fun
that is not only Wholesome, but makes
the man, no matter how disconnected
with the world, forget his troubles tenn
porarily and dissolve his hardened fea-
lures into a grin. When you compare
the actor with the clown the latter has
handicap regarding his methods and
his facilities of bringing forth laughs.
"The other has the author to thank
nine times out of ten for some fat part.
Then, too, he is enabled to say things
that produce fun and which are not his
own. But take the man behind the
whitened face and he has nothing to
help him but his gestures, his nimble
legs and his art of so comforting his face
as ia bring forth K1irth. It's real work

For instance, take Purvis the pre-

he has but to walk from the dressing

is something about that stride that is
funny, and when he allows the toy bal
loon to get away from him and sail
through the air, crying after it, / have
seen the spectators almost fall off their
seats with laughter. Out in Ogden l
remember one old lady could hardly be

that same little trick and it's not funny
at all"
All the funny clowns will be here with

Sisters of the Holy Cross reached Salt
Lake. After studying the future which
looked none too encouraging then, they
decided TO remain. Subscriptions were
collected and the work of building the
school began at once. In September 1875
the new building was opened as a day
and boarding school. The grounds and
erection of buildings cost $40 900. From
a. small beginning St Marys academy
has become an educational institution the
influence of which spreads throughout

er of the Catholic faith unfurled his BAN
ner and gathered his little flock about
him. In q humble church services were
held. The congregation numbered but
twelve souls, undaunted. To secure the
church, humble as it was, these twelve
followers of the faith had incurred a
heavy debt. Through Bishop Seaman s
business ability combined with his. perse-
vering efforts this debt was cleared with
in two years.
One of the first steps taken by Bishop
Seaman towards erecting Catholic IN
istitution in Salt Lake was made in 1874,
when the site of st. Mary'S academy was
selected. This site. First West between
First and Second South streets, was an
ideal one for a school. When Father
Seaman announced his determination to
have an educational institution built upon
the ground, he was asked:
where will you get your puplls?
Answering with hopeful promise of
the good TO be obtained from the erec-
tion of the, school, he finally secured
funds enough to purchase the site.

A GREAT TRUTH.

From a speech delivered by Presi-
dent Roosevelt on April ID, 1906, we
extract the following paragraph as
eminently applicable to the nefarious
and cowardly methods now being prac-
ticed by certain disreputable opponents
of Hon. M. r. Patterson:
'"The liar is no whit better than the
thief, and if his mendacity takes the
form of SANDER he may be worse than
most thieves. 1t puts a premium upon
knavery untruthfully to attack an hon
est man, or even with hysterieal exag-
geration to assail a bad mau with I'M
truth. An epidemic of indiscriminate
assault upon character does no good,
but very great harm. The soul of
every scoundrel is gladdened when
ever an honest man is assailed, or even
when a scoundrel is untruthfully as
sailed"

Pass Up the Record.

Mr.. Brooks plea in abatement does
not suffice to relieve him or to mater
ally change the unenviable position in
which he has placed himself. He can
not escape through a bubble. We
would do Mr.. Brock no injustice, and
he knows that we have no unkind feel
ing for him personally, but we can
hardly too severely condemn the meth
DDS to which he has resorted in his zeal
for his patron saint, Evans. He ad-
mits that he was distributing the cir
cular, but says he stopped to inVesti-
gate; then he says he found that the
circular was not forgery. Are we to
infer from this that he resumed circu-
lating them and that he is now doing
so? II so, does he think that his claim
that he deals fairly and honorably in
elections should be accepted as true?
Has he not lived long enough in Ten
nessee to kdow that such methods are
not approved by fair fighting, manly
men? Is John H. Mcdowell his stand
ard and guide in such matters? He
goes back two years to attack Mr.. Pat
terson's alleged personal conduct,
Suppose that method should be gener-
ly applied. How many Of the ablest
and best men would be guiltless of er.
ror? How many men does Mr.. Brock
think he knows who can undergo the
physical and mental tax Mr.. Patterson
has withstood during the last fourteen
months? He must know that no dis
sipated man could possibly do it. His
very achievement, his present condi-
ton and his looks give the lie to the
eowardly charge or inslnuation that he
is dissipated man, IN spite of all the
statements that might be procured
from obscure persons or made or cir
culated under lying signature by all
the Brooks, McDowells and Cock
reaches in the republican party.
But even if the charges were wholly
true the man who does not scorn that
m sthod of attack, that miserable mode
of warfare, is in his heart capab'e of
far worse things than the faults he
