THE DAY OF THE CIRCUS HORSE

IT. A DAILY in Catholic Standard and
TimeS1
Ii was a fiery circus horse
That ramped and stamped and neighed
Till every creature in its course
Fled. frightened and diSmayed.
The chickens on the rOadways edge
Arose and tapped their wings:
And making for the sheltering hedge
Flew off like crazy things.
Nor iron gates nor fences barred
That mettled Steed'S career.
1t gallOped right across our yard
And filled US all with fear;
And when it tossed its head and ran
Straight through the pantry door,
Cook almost dropped her frying pan
Upon the kitchen floor.
1t neighed and pranCed and wheeled about
And scampered off. but then
We scarcely saw the creature out
When ii was in again,
And so throughout the livelong day,
Through house and yard and street,
That charger held its fearsome way
And only stopped to eat.
But when at dusk. a little lame,
1t slowly climbed the stairs,
Behold a gentle lady came
And made it say its prayers.
Now, what a wOndrOus change you see
'Sh, Come and take a peep
Here lies, as tame as tame can be.

Tomorrow the architects of the city
will submit rough plans for the new
siX-stOry building at Richards and
South Temple streets to the presiding
bishop of the Mormon church. The
work of preparing the complete
plans for the structure will be given
to the architects whose general ideas
best conform with what the church de
sires in the way of d building at that
corneC.
Architects are now at work upon the
plans for both the Joseph Smith Me

building, both of them TO be built upon

The magnitude of the building pro-

Main and South Temple streets.
