FUN-mAKERS GALORE

Not least among the many features
of the Campbell Brothers Great Con-
solidated Shows are their twentieth
century clowns. In modern shows of
such large magnitude, the old time
singing and talking clown is an inn
possibility: consequently. clowns are
provided in such prOfuSion that they
are in all parts Of the tent simultan-
eously, and there is always some fool
cry going on.
An honest laugh is the one sover-
eign and specific remedy for this Of
ten sad and weary world. 1t is a
cheering, strengthening tonic, ex-
tracted from sunshine by these felt
crowned mimics. Although show
day is essentially children's day, yet
it is very easy for the older people to
imagine themselves a child again
while at the circus.
At all times within the tents of
this great show, these fun makers are
doing something to make the old
young again, and the young frantic
with their funny actions. Not one
dull moment do these mimics of the
saw dust ring allow you. Yet they
are but one of the many features that
have been gathered together in this
grand galaxy of entertainers by the
Campbell Brothers Great CONSOLIDATE
ed Shows which will exhibit here on
Thursday, May 18th.
Come early, bring the children. and
and see the grand parade and all the
other many free acts, given only with
this great show.

ScANT ALLOWANCE OF SOAP
Captain Didn't Want to Hire Three
Rooms to Get Hands and

When Paramount inn was opened.
among its first patrons was Captain
Stringer of Marshby He had long
been a friend of Captain Larrabee. the
father of the young proprietor Of the
new inn. and he wished to "see for
himself what kind of a tavern Eddy
would keep
He was taken to one of the pretti-
est rooms, where the proprietor's wife
awaited his opinion. He looked silent
ly at all the modern innovations, but
when he was at last asked to admire
the pretty bathroom adjoining his bed

Why. yes" said the young woman
"One cake for each room. new for
each guest, of course"
We'll, now, see here" said the cap
tain, confidentially. You and Eddy
have got used to city ways, where it's
all style, and save in what don't show:
but let me tell you one thing, you're
liable to have a good many folks from

In the humble opinion of the Tele-
scope the Republican candidate for
governor of Kansas, in the next cam
paign. should come out upon a plat
form upon which all republicans can
stand. 1t is the Telescopes further
opinion that there is not one more
good factional fight in the party.
Do Kansas republicans think more
of perpetuating the republican party
in power in this state, of returning
republican congressman, and carry
ing the state for a republican preSi-
dent, than they do of trying to real
ize dividends on all their factional
assets, of getting all their political
hobbies either enacted into law or
crammed into the party PLATFORM Is
it more essential to save the party
intact in this state in the next cam
paign and leave some of the issues
temporarily unsolyed, than it is to
lose both the party and the issue by
unnecessarily and unwiSely perpetual
ing factionaliSm, with the inevitable
result that the state house and the
legislature will have an overproduc-
ton of democrats, the congressional
delegation will be politically spotted
and the presidential electors will
cast their vote for the democratic
candidate for president.
Such a situation would certainly
not be to the credit of republicans,
out the republican policies.
The republican candidate for gov
ernor should get upon a platform
fair, broad, liberal, progressive, but
not revolutionary, a platform upon
which all colors and shades of re-
publicans can consistently stand. Let
bygoneS be bygoneS, bury the past,
face the future with hope and OPP
timism, open wide the door that all
republicans may feel welcome.
A republican candidate for COVER
nor in whom the people have conf
dence who will come out on a broad
guaged, liberal platform, can get the
support of Kansas republicans, and
in no other way can the republican
party in this state be saved intact.
The party will also go onto the
rocks unless mature judgment and
deliberation prevails in constructing
the party platform.
A party platform should not con-
tain all the things that every individ-
ual member of the party believes; it
is not the place for every shade OF
color of republican to unload his
creed or doctrine. A party platform
should contain the important and eS-
sential principles of the party, the
settled policies upon which the party
can agree, and should not contain the
unsolved and unsettled policies upon
which the party cannot agree and up
on which there has been no fixed ex
preston or official declaration.
/ Party policies and party progress
are matters of evolution, brought
about by crystaliZed public sentiment
and it is no reflection upon the integ
rity of any political organization il
some of the disputed policies or hopes
of ambitious partisanS, are temper
arily unsolved. and remain for more
definite and positive public senti
ment to point the way -Belleville

Three Great Danish Clans.

The Danish government recently
found it necessary to grant heads Of
families the privilege of changing

without mourning any legal costs This

into three great clans-the Hansens.

NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN
People Who Never Change Their
Minds Have Masnified Opinion
of Their Wisdom.

ct never change my mind" 1 once
heard an old woman say.
And from the way in which she said
her attitude
The funny part of it is that the peo-
pie who never change their minds
nearly always have a magnified opin-
ion of their wisdom. They would be
very much upset if they realized that
others probably much better in
formed than themselves considered
them merely obstinate and foolish
But they seldom. if ever. see them
selves in this light so they continue
to map out their lives in the same
narrow groove, until perhaps one day
they waken up, and, to their amaze
ment, find themselves left far behind
people whom they-looked down upon
as ignorant.
"a wise man changes his mind; a
fool never" says an old proverb. and
we should always keep this before US
as a mental danger signal
'She simply won't be taught" 1
have often heard people say. Don't
let anybody say it of you in future.
1t is the people who are always will
ing to learn who get on best in this
world.
If we keep our minds open as well
as our eyes and ears we shall find
that we are never too old to change
our minds. and that we can learn
something from everybody, even if it
is only what not to do.-Home Chat.
