of Mrs. Margaret Newton of Caldwell,

By some means or other the poor

her land, and drove Of everybody who

story and began to cheer her, and be-

region.
Men took her to town and helped her

What is the use of trying to alter our
individuality and modify it to conform
to the shape of our surroundings? II
will only be spoiled in the operation,
and without it we might rs well be
cattle. If our individuality does not fit
our surroundings the latter had better
be changed. 1t would be vandalism to
jam a delicately carved vase into a
rough box too small for it; all the dainty
work in which its beauty consisted
would be broken off and lost, and are
net the salient points of our indi-
viduality as much its ornaments and
consequently as precious? But let
none of US be cowarls nor self indulgent
and shirk the hard eDgraver's tool that
carves the ornaments. The process OF
producing them gives short, sharp pain
sometimes, but the result is beauty,
not Disagreement.

The woman does not live who doe
not take an exultant delight in AM
discomfort or deprivation she endures
which may result in good TO some one
she loves, and if she can contrive to
make her discomfort include some one
she fancies inimical to the idol all the
better. The fact that the idol does not
know anything about what is going on
does not trouble her in the least, and
If, when the explanation comes, she is
taken to task instead of praised the re-
sultant crying spell only leaves her more
inclined to repeat the performance
than ever, all of which no doubt proves
womea to be very foolish, illogical
creatures, but il it is their way of be-
ing happy why let them alone in it.
There is no reward, no success, no gen
eral recognition that can give a woman
such a feeling of utter content as the

isfied with all she does.

You can't bend bones but you can

You can't bend bones, but you can
stretch cartilages.
That is where a great many people
who go to see a contortionist twist and
bend himself ont of all semblance to
the human form divine are misled.
The human snake, the living cork
screw, the man with the rubber bones,
the man who has no bones and all the
rest of the list of contortionists who
earn a livelihood by amusing and in
teresting the public with their feats
do not and cannot bend their bones.
But they seem to do so.
a performer crosses his arms and
twines his legs. Then he turns his
wrists and ankles and twists his hips
at the hip joints, turns his tibias and
jihulas, his ulnuses and radiuses, and
that is all he can do with those parts
of mis- body. The real bending, twist
ing, turning, and comforting is done
with the back. In some cases the neck
is of use, and that, too, is twisted.
This sums the ability of the contor-
zionist up in a general statement.
But to tie ones self up into knots, or
even into one knot is physical impo'
sibility.
Of all comforting, back bending OF
turning backward and twisting the
body out of shape is the most difficult.
Forward bending is comparatively
easy, because the backbone is con-

Winter is the hardest time for con-

than IN summer JoHS ANIEs.

YOUR CHEST on THE FLOOR, YOUR TOES
UNDER YOUR SHOULDERS"
structed so as to bend forward natur-
ally. The cartridges of the backb bone
which lie like thick waters between
the vertebrse of the backbone, are
thicker on the outside than on the in
side, and so offer less obstruction to
bending forward than they do to bend
ing backward.
Forward bending is done with the
performer standing on his feet or with
a portion of his body lying on the floor.
To be a good backward bender a man
must also be a good hand balancer. be-
cause the best and most difficult work
is done by bending while the weight of
the body rests on the hands. OF course
it is good backward bending to
stand on your feet and bend
over backward until your head is
thrust forward between your legs at
the knees. and to do a dozen other
things of similar character. BUTT is
more difficult to stand on your hands
and bend backward until you sit in an
upside down position on your head.
That is hard and but few can do it.
Another and a more difficult feat is
to get your chest on the floor, face
downward, and, bending backward,
place your toes under your shoulders
But even that, which as YOU readily
see is quite difficult, requires no bend
ing of the arms or legs, although these
members seem to be twisted out of ali
shape.
The most difficult thing to
do that know of is what l
call my teeth balancing act 1t Is
the only one which causes me any
inconvenience afterward, and that is so
slight and momentary as to be hardly
worth noticing.
A strong iron rod is fastened upon a
pedestal, which must stand firmly on
its legs. The least tremble might re-
suit in throwing me over and breaking
my neck. The termination of the rod
is bent to an angle of about thirty de-
grees, and the end is covered with
leather, so as to be comparatively
soft for my teeth.
1 stand on the pedestal and bend
backward over the rod until my hands
touch the pedestal behind me. That
is, I simply bend the crab" Then 1
grip the leather-covered end with nv
teeth and gradually lower my body by
bending my knees until the small of
my back rests upon the crown of nv
head. Then 1 raise my feet from the
pedestal, which throws the weight of
my body on my head and SO on nv
teeth. Then getting perfect balance
by spreading my legs far apart, raise
my hands and fold my arms. Ny face
is then at right angles with my back
and can look right out between my
legs
An inconvenience results if l remain
in this position too long. have stared
so for a minute and half, but l don't /
want to remain in the position more I
than a minute, and that's long enough ,
to brighten some audiences.
