I am   going to   say it again; if  you repeat a piece of gossip   that   someone else   tella you, and   which   you do not know to be true you are just as bad aa the person who told it to you.    Before you   repeat   anything, that is going to injure another   person's character, put yourself   in their   place   and   consider how   would you like the sime   remark made ahout you.    The fact that it was I untrue in your   case   could be no more [evident than it is in hia.    The   tongue ! of   an idle  gossip   stings in all  direc¬ tions and when a   malicious statement 1 is set going about a person, it may put jhim   under  a   cloud of   suspicion    for years.

While the thrilling aerial and arenic acts as well as sensational equestrian¬ ism and hippodrome track events are absolutely essential to all big tented shows, their performances would fall tlat were it not for the clowns. Pri niarily the majority of show going en¬ thusiasts, not to mention the small boys and girls, viait the canvas cities to be amused and the salaried jesters must see to it that none are disap¬ pointed. Realizing that a goodly share of the success of the entertainment depends upon the funsters, the mighty Haag shows, which give afternoon and evening performances July 28 in Free- port, engaged for this aeason as unpar¬ alleled a quota of world-famous clowns as money can hire. There io a veri¬ table army of those jolly fellows, whose sole work is to provide whole¬ some laugha and amusement for all classes and all ages. From the time the main tent doors are own, which is an hour before the first act enters the rings, until the end of the program, the great hippodrome track swarms with harlequines and mirth reigns fast and furious.

This dun, it will be recalled, was refused Sigmond Opera House some time ago for similar reasons.
Did you ever think of insurance, while you are on your vacation at a summer hotel? Every season lota of hotels burn up, and you are as apt to be in one of them as anyone else, and to lose a considerable amount of wear¬ ing apparel, etc. For a very small sum, you can get your local insurance agents to give you a policy on your clothing while you are away, and then if the hotel catches fire the insurance company will pay for your new cloth¬ ing, instead of you having to do it yourself.
