name, who for amusement learned to
turn a horseshoe in her fathers black
smith shop At a recent entertain
ment for the benefit of a church Miss
Adele appeared in match against two
of the most expert blacksmiths in the
city. Three portable FORCES were
placed upon the stage. Each OF the
contestants was allowed a helper to
blow the bellows. She appeared IN
very workmanlike garb-a corduroy
skirt and leather apron. Her compet-
itors smiled indulgently at her when
time was called but became anxious,
then alarmed and finally discounted
when she turned and cast perfect
horseshoe before the judges in less
than four minutes. The curtain
dropped on the pretty picture of the

Miss Alice Travers, of Con avenue,
St. Louis, played joke upon Con-
gresham Joy that amuses him as
much as it embarrasses him. He had
an appointment to a cadetship at West
Point on hand. He announced that
the place was open to all eligible
young men in the district who cared to
enter competitive examination.

become competitor. A. Travers
headed the list with an average OF SO.

Chicago has on its west side an
: equestrian club, called the Garfield,
which, in it's constitution. declares
that it is formed ''for the purpose Of
fostering, encouraging and populariz
ing the astride style of riding upon
: the part of its women members" The
mem bership of the club proper is made
up of women. Husbands and brothers
are admitted only as honorary mem
bers. Garfield Park is where the rid
ers meet. They have pre- empted GER
tain parts of the park, and there they
go through some pretty evolutions.
Fancy figures are being taught them.
and, as the women ride astride, these
evolutiouns are easily taught and we'll
carried out. Some of the women in
the club do not yet appear in public
astride. but they all agree that they
are practising the style and are anx-
ious to adopt it as soon as possible.
They argue that it is impossible for a
woman to ride as we'll in the old side
saddle as she can astride, while there
is no question as to the grace and gen.
eral usefulness of the more modern
fashion.
Women who want to vote are get
ting more encouragement in Kentucky
than anywhere else. A County Judge
at Lexington has appointed women
officers of registration and of election
to conduct the womens part of the
election for the Board of Education.
The new constitution of Kentucky
provides for woman suffrage in elect
ing members of these boards. The
women have to be registered the same
as male voters. and have to vote in the
same manner, but as these boards are
strictly non-paItisan, under the new
constitution the women will not be
recognized as belonging to any polit-
ical party.
