CANON CITY CHILDREN ENJOY
THE SELLS-FLOTO SHOW

OF the many Canon City people who
attended Sells-Floto show Friday af-
ternoon it is safe to say that none
enjoyed the performance more than
the children. Realizing their keen
interest in the matter, Guy U. Hardy
of The Daily Record provided tickets
for fifty little boys, and G. w. Tobin
of The Fair fifty tickets for as many
little girls. Every one of them had
the time of their lives, and they will
remember for a long time to come
what they saw at the circus beauti-
full"
Every boy that applied to Mr.. Hardy
got a ticket to the show, not one of
them being refused. and the same Is
true OF all the little girls that made
application to Mr.. Tobin. A hundred
brighter faced or better entertained
children it would have been impos-
sible to have found in the community
and nobody appreciated their pleasure
and satisfaction more than those who
afforded them the means of enjoyment.
Miss Jessie Smith and Miss Pearl
Swain acted as chaperons for the
little girls.

This Is Worth Saving.

The following simple homemade
mixture is said to relieve any form Of
rheumatism or backache. also cleanse
and strengthen the kidneys and blad-
der, overcoming all urinary disorders,
II taken before the stage of Bright's
disease: Fluid extract dandelion, one
half ounce; compound kargon. one
ounce; compound syrup sarsaparilla,
three ounces. Mix by shaking we'll in
bottle and take in teaspoonful doses
after meals and at bedtime.
A we'll known author states that
these ingredients are mainly of vege-
table extraction, and harmless to use,
and can be obtained at small cost from
any good prescription pharmacy.
Those who think they have kidney
trouble or suffer with lame back or
weak bladder or rheumatism, should
give this prescription a trial, as no
harm can possibly follow its use and
it is said to do wonders for some
people.

A circus is measured in size by the
number OF cars 1t requires to handle
It. The Sells FIoto shows have thirty
cars, all OF the so foot size. They are
equal to about forty ordinary cars.
They are made up In two trains. and
out OF Canon going West II took two
engines for each train.
Mr. Tammen said to a Record re-
porter that he had never visited a
town where his audience was made
up OF such uniformly high class peo-
pie as the Canon City audience. He
encountered none of the tough ele-
men, SO common In many towns.
Frank Tammen. brother OF the
famous II. II. Tammen. was in charge
as manager OF the Sells-Flo,o shows.
He has been in the show business only
six years, but he talks like an old
circus man. He can answer more
questions in an hour and do II intel
ligently and courteously. than any
show man We ever saw.
It requires about four hundred peo-
pie to handle a show the size OF that
circus. or that number. only about
forty people are the actual performers
These forty get the big wages. II re-
Quires from thirty to sixty laborers
to put up and take down the big tent.

This has been n very successful
season for the Sells Floto show. They
have been out three months and have
cleaned up, II is estimated, about $15.-
900. They have had excellent luck,
good crowds, good weather and no bad
accidents. A circus can make money
very fast or lose It just as rapidly.
Cañon City record., 1907-07-11

The other big shows of the country
have not had such good luck They
have all been having bad weather
back East. and consequently it has
been a losing season with them
J. E. Hennessy was the head ticket
man and he had a mighty trying place
when the crowds were trying to get
in In the afternoon. A man who can
be courteous and smile under that
pressure is a dandy. But 1t takes
such men to run a circus.
The crowds the show had at Canon
City was just a fair average. Paid ad-
missions run about l.5o0 in the after
noon and about 1000 in the evening
The receipts were a little less than
$4,000. The management considers
that they didn't quite break even here
as the expense will average $4,000 a
day for the season.
The concerts brought in only about
$40 or $50 each.
The salaries of the performers run
from $50 per week up. In fact the
better class performers get from $50
to 5000 per week during the season.
which Is from 80 to "a weeks. The
clowns are the poorest paid. getting
in many cases much less than $50 the
week
The whole outfit is fed by the man.
agement in a big dining tent Each
class of help has a table to itself. one
for the officers and ticket men, one
for the performers, another for the
canvas men. one for the hcstlers, etc.
The organization and system of the
circus would do credit to any business.
In fact very few businesses have any
thing like such perfect system. This
show has more than a dozen depart
ments, with head to each, who is
responsible for his department. There
are the manager, auditor, chief ticket
man, train master, superintendent of
canvas, chief equestrian, etc, and
each is a general in a way.
Remarkable system is shown in the
ticket department In an ordinary
carnival or street fair it takes week
or two to balance the cash. But Fri
day night at a quarter of nine O'Clock.
thirty minutes after the performance
began, Mr.. Tammen could tell you the
exact number OF admissions of every
class in every department, and the
receipts for the evening to a cent,
and he had them in his head.
1t is marvellous how quickly a crew
will put up or take down the tents.
Friday night at $40 the menagerie
was to all appearance just as It was
in the afternoon, and at quarter to
nine 1t was all down and animals and
all on their way to the train. At ten
o'clock the big show was out and in
less than an hour there was hardly
enough left on the grounds to indicate
that a show had been there.

HARRY TAMMEN TELLS
WHY HE LIKES THE CIRCUS

H. H. Tammen, one OF the owners
of the Denver Post and proprietor of
the Sells-Floto Circus, came down
from Denver to see the performance
at Canon City.
Mr.. Tammen is an Interesting char
acter. He is a great success in his
lines and they are numerous, news
paper, curiO stores, circus, etc.
He takes a keen interest in the
circus and will talk circus anywhere
at any time
It's really a picnic to get Mr.. Tam
men to talking, he is so entertaining
and he sheets it into you like a CAT
ling gun.
Here are some of his interesting
observations:
Il am in business to be annoyed.
In fact, being annoyed is my long
suit. l am in the circus business be-
cause it affords more real annoyance
to the square inch than any other
line in the whole world, and l have
tried 723 different ways of making a
living
Now do not regard this statement
as a joke. l think that the man who
cannot stand annoyance will never be
a success in business way. He can
not be- The man whom annoyance
annoys, goes up in the air whenever
anything goes wrong. He cannot face
annoyance without losing his grip on
things. l have schooled myself to
take any kind of annoyance with a
smile. and the more they annoy me
the more | smile.
lnva the cirCnS hn SinaSS haCanSa
there are so many chances of real an
noyance in it l love it because there
is so much money in it, | know there
must be money in it, for I have put
quite bunch into this show of mine
and it is still there.
When l walked out OF the news
paper Office to go into the circus busi-
ness, my philosophy of life was i'm
perfect. Little things annoyed me.
For instance, when it rained and we
gave the show to about 800 shivering
countrymen, l worried about the box
Office When q wheel came off the
band wagon and let the Imperial Ital-
ian band down in the street, l wor-
ried. When the gasoline failed TO
show up and there was nothing for
us to do but give the show by candle
light, l worried about that, When the
boss camel driver quit us and there
was mutiny among the dromedaries,
worried some more. When the act
orS demanded more money, | went in
to the air.
This state OF things lasted for a
whole season. Then | began to APP
preciate the joke and now l defy any
catastrophe. So far as worry goes l
am immune. l have been inoculated
with the germ of cheerfulness.
Il intend to make this season a
banner one in every way. The money
does not worry me because l have
more money than any man really
needs. am able to buy whatever l
want to eat; l can afford the clothes
that set of to advantage my peculiar
style of beauty. and my wife can have
an automobile IL she wants it. What
else is there for man to get out of
this world" 1t is my hobby to spin
around the country with a circus. I'm
like that old man in the Kipling poem.
Thank God, I can pay for my fam
cies.
Il am a firm believer In abrupt pub
licity. Think when a man has some
thing to say he should say it without
mincing words. 1t never does any
good to beat around the bush. Come
out with 1t. 1t Is foolish as we'll a.
cowardly to mince matters,

The first requisite of beauty is
clear complexion. Orino Laxative

somewhat %garrulous parish clerk that
the registers went back to the time of

liams in The Treasury. Lest the same
startling opinion may be held by 9TH
ers. let me hasten to say that parish
registers were unknown in England
before the end of Henry Wits reign,
and happy is that parish which still
possesses it's records even from that
date. For our earlier registers have
certainly had a very checkered career,
and when we read the story of the
treatment which has been meted out
to them during the three or four cen
turtles of their existence, we can only
wonder that they exist in such num-
bers as they do.
