A CIRCUS RIDERS STORY.

The New York correspondent Of thu
CLEVELAND Herald notes the reverse o
fortune which has befailen a once cele-
brated female equestrienne, who caused
such a sensation at Saratoga a season OF
two ago
was surprised to hear the other day
that the Katie Stokes whose name
saw on the program MS having small
part in the "Corsican Brothers, at
Booths theatre was Katie Stokes the
circus rider. Katie has little history.
She is one of three sisters, daughters OF
Spence Stokes, an old circus man who
came into nOtOriety years ago as the
manager of that remarkable rider, Ella
Ioyara, with whom lots of the boys fell
in love, and who turned out to be a boy.
All three Of the Stokes girls are very
pretty. Emma was IA good manage RI
der but became ambitious, and, after
COup's failure, her husband took her on
the road as a star in Il "Child of State,
company. She failed as an actress, but
she and her husband now have IA profit
able candy store Oh Fourteenth street
Ella, the other sister, is an excellent
bareback rider, and Is with Doris cir
Gus. Katie is the handsomest Of the
family and beautiful girl she is, with
regular features, big brown eyes, fine
complexiOnanda magnificent form. She
made her first appearance in 1879 with
Barnum in this city. She got 500 a
week for doing bareback act.
The next year she was with Barnnm,
and in the meantime, having fallen in
love with Carl Antonio, who used to ex-
hibit the trained stations, married him
in GAINESVILLE, Ohio, that summer. The
next year Coup paid her $50 week to
ride for him. The show exhibited at
Saratoga in the heightof the season.
A few days before it arrived n beauti-
full young woman with a fine retnue of
servants, excellent carriage horses, and
remarkable wardrobe and jewelry, came
To Saratoga and stopped at one of the
big hotels. She carried the place by
storm. She was very modest and dis
Greet, and no one could find out who she
was. She rode ont on horseback daily,
attended by IA groom, and she rode
mighty well.
COup's show arrived in due time, and |
then society was paralyzed to learn that
the mysterious heiress was Katie |
Stokes, the bareback rider That same
summer her handsome husband was
kicked in the face by a stallion and his
beauty spoiled. In fact, he WIS shock
ingly tistigured. He went home TO
Europe and Katie remained here. In the
fall she went 10 Havana, and while
riding in the Orrin Brothers circus
there, hurt her knee and had to come
home, She began to train for the com
ing summer season, snapped Il tendon
Of the injured knee, and that ended the
circus business Of pretty Katie Stokes.
Now she is glad to get $25a week be-
hind the footlights. "Shr is IL nice
girl, " said George O'Starr, Bar
num's old agent, now with Bunnell,
8 and no one ever heard word against
ler It's mighty doubtful whether
'he ever rides again. Aud pity't is,
or she is one Of the prettieSt women

ssJACK."
Detroit Free Press.


A year or more ago, as the foreman o
one of the iron works of this city wa
crossing the yard one day he espied
little skip of boy, seemingly not oyeI
II years old, seated on a big fly-whee
and chewing the cud Of bitter rchrc
ton.
"Who are YOU"
"Tm Jack"
"What are you doing here?
Resting"
"What do you want"
"a job"
Those were the inquiries and answers
The boy was pale-f faced aud ragged, but
in his steel bue eyes the foreman saw
game; and, too, the idea of waif like
him setting ont to battle with the world
touched tender chord in the heart 81
the man who had boys Of his own, and
he set Jack to work in the yard.
No one thought the boy would stay "A
week, and 80 no one ca red to ask here
he came from or who he was. But h.
stuck. He was Woodworking and faith
FIJI, and as the weeks went by he gained
friends. One day he walked up 10 The
foreman and said
81 want to learn the trade
"You? Ha. ha ha! Why, Jack, You
are not big enough 10 handle a cold
chisel -
81 can whip any prentice boy in
this shop" was the earnest declara-
"Jusl hear him! Why any of The
lot could IAN you wrong side on
When you get big enough to whip the
smallest one you come TO me for
Job
a, uoon that day Jack walked up to
the biggest apprentice boy in the shop
and said
"Come out doors"
"What do you want"
"l'm going to lick you"'
What for?
"Because | want chance to learn
the trade
The two went ont, and in sight Of
twenty witnesses little Jack won vic
tory. AT o'clock he touched his cap
to the foreman, and SAID:
"I've licked your biggest prentice
and want to 60 TO work y
Ten minutes later he had become a
machinist's apprentice, and if you 60
in there to-day you will find him with
greasy hands, oily face and a head full
of business ideas. Jack carries the
keys to the drawers where the steam
gauge, safety valves and other trim
mingS are kept, and he knows the
use Of every tool, the working of every
piece of machinery, and there is con
stant cali for Jack here and Jack there.

black silk grenadine at S1.5o,

enough to supply the de-
