To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Your editorial in yesterdays issue is
misleading. The spectacle as you portray
it, of young America fitting at rings,
mounted on fiery steed Of unmanageabie
tendencies. may justly present a ludicrous
aspect.
But there are always two sides to any
question, as there are more ways than one
of looking at a picture. And usually, as
in this instance, the side of a question
which Is less exposed and held UP for pub
lie condemnation, or approval, or ridicule.
as the case may be, is usually the nearer
correct Of the two. The picture you drew
so graphically was In Virginia-well, as
the saying goes, Virginia for Virginians"
but there are other states south Of Mason
and Dixon's line whose habitues are as
truly '.Southrons'' as any IF. f. "" in
the Old Dominion. but who. as a rule. do
not partake of the erratic qualities as rid
ing bicycles against equestrian skill. They
are, however, none the less "Southrons,"
and the customs that have been handed
down from past years are safely cherished
and fostered in the minds whose young
ideas are begin ming to shoot. And among
those customs. the noble one of holding
tournaments Is one that Is calculated to
be productive of much good to whatever
section 1t may be Indigenous. Instead of
decaying relic of "chivalry," the tourna-
ment in the south is latter day. nine
teenth century production, modernized and
very much changed from I'VE ancient time
1t Is productive of more than one good.
For one, 1t trains the eye and the hand to
unerring precision: it helps to acquant
the steed the better with its masters hand
and voice; 1t gives the rider grace and
firmness making the splendid horsemen
and fearless riders for which the south has
long been famous; and, last. but by no
means least, 1t has caused to spring up
N& 1.fA vxNI~IA
in the breeding of horse flesh, and the re-
| suits are marked and specific. In whatever
section the tournament Is held, there Is a
vast difference between their live stock
and the live stock of those sections where
1t Is unknown. So you can see that while
the tournament may be relic of bar
barism," it still subserves a good end.

4 Trlumph In Ceramics.

The name of Turner is becoming
famous for the fanciful creations of
this master of the ceramic art. At the
great factory in Tunstall, England,
there are to be seen the most wonder
full articles in fine china; things so
fragile and delicate that it seems i'm
possible that they can be made of
mere clay, and go through the pro-
cesses of drying, glazing, firing and
decorating and come out almost as
accurate and perfect as though made
with die. One of the most remark
able specimens of this enterprising
house was the dressing BILE and bureau
of porcelain which was made for and
presented to the duke and duchess Of
York as wedding gift. These arti-
ticles are in all respects, save the dec
orations, the duplicates of the popu-
lar furniture of the day, but made of
the most exquisite china There are
mirrors framed in porcelain with
colored flowers in relief, and electric
lights throwing their brilliant rays
through the blossoms The tiny
bureaus shown at the Worlds Fair
seemed to be marvcls of the potter's
art, but when one imagines a china
dressing table and bureau as large as
any made in wood, the achievement
seems an almost impossible one, even
in these days, when the hitherto I'M
attainable appears easy of accomplish
ment.

Sleeping Sickness

In certain districts in Africa, nota.
bly, in the west, central and Congo
sections, there is a most curious and
puzzling disease that has baffied all at
tempts to prevent or cure it. The first
symptoms are an appearance of drowsi.
ness, indicated by dropping of the eye
lids and lack of interest except when
reused. This tendency to sleep. which
is very slight at first, rapidly increases
until the sufferer falls asleep at all
times in the day and over any work or
amusement. no matter what may be
its character. The general health does
not appear to suffer any perceptible
impairment, and treatment of the most
active sort has little if any effect.
After time, the patient is in per-
petual slumber, seeming to be never
really awake, and if reused to take
food or drink Immediately relapses
into the usual lethargic condition.
The disease or decline sometimes lasts
twelve months, death apparently en-.
suing from starvation. 1t rarely at
tacks white persons, but is for the
most part confined to young persons
between the ages of 10 and 30 years.
Boys and young men are more fire.

Tho Coming Reunion.

Notwithstanding the drouth and
the general depression, it appears that
Grand island will again be called upon
to entertain a large number of visitors
to the approaching G. A. r. reunion,
August 27th to September 1st. AS a
matter of fact the demands for tents
upon Quartermaster Harry Harrison
are fully as large as in the past two
"big reunions" and it is altogether
likely that the original order for tents
will have to be supplemented.
The committee has prepared a pro-
gram which is fully the equal of those
of other years if, indeed, not stronger.
In the line of general amusements,
music, etc, it will be fully as strong,
there is a whole array of prominent
figures, all of whom we would like
to hear.
Hon. John M. Thurston will address
the soldiers and citizens on Thursday
afternoon. Our senator's, Hon. G. H.
Henderson and Hon. w. V. Allen, and
our representatives, Hon. G. D. Meickle-
john, Hon. w. A., McKeighan, Hon. o.
M. KEN, Hon. D. n. Mercer, Hon. w. j.
Bryan, and Hon. E. j. Hainer have all
,been invited to make addresses. They
have all responded to the invitation ex
pressing a desire to be at the reunion
if congress adjourns and addresses
from the most if not all of them may
be looked for. Rev. w. 81. II. Pi1sbury,
D. D., who has made an extensive
study of the navy as it figured in the
rebellion, will deliver an address on
that interesting subject.
With such an array of talent to en-
terrain us for week we need have no
fear of dull time, but will be present
to rally round the flag, boys, rally
isonce again, shouting the battle cry of
SSfreedom.
There are half rates on all railroads.

She Made Advertising Pay.

The stories told of the fabulous sums
made by writer's of advertisements
have started lots of novices in the bus
mess, especially women, says Printer S
Ink Their maiden efforts are apt to
be in the line of verse, and make pretty
painful reading for the advertising
managers of the more racily advertised
articles, who are supposed to be in dire
need of that sort of stuff.
Usually the results are disappointing
to the author, but it has been reserved
to Buffalo paper to discover case
where the reward was prompt and
ample.
A woman made the rounds of the
large stores only to find that they were
well supplied with people to look after
that part of their business. At last
she found one house which was willing
to let her try her hand and she began
work.
In less than year she was comfort
ably well off for the rest of her life!
The explanation of this is not that
her advertisements were a great sue
cess, but that the senior partner fell
in love with her and married her. But
1 am afraid that the circulation of the
story will add to rather than detract
the craze
