Made to Order for Man Who Was
Separated from His Wife.
In the Kinloch club, at st. Louis,
there Is stained glass window with
an odd history, says the ST. Louis Re-
public. 1t is not an ordinary window,
with its parts Joined by frames of lead
but is OF the finest kind of colored ca
thedral glass, so perfectly Joined that
the seams are not visible. |, Is paneled
IN shape, and in the colored glass ap-
pears the face and form of beautiful
woman. She is in the costume of a
dancer, and her skirts fall but little be-
low the knees, The figure is perfect in
Its proportions. and the face is one OF
surprising beauty. When the club
house was finished the art committee
looked around for something unique In
the way of decoration, They found II

circumstances A rich Chicagoan had
Immediately after marrying, decided
that as a part of the decoration of his
new home he would have a window in
which the face and form OF his wife
would appear. He got together the
necessary photographs in appropriate
costumes and brought them to the
glass window concern, where estimates
were made as to the probable cost. He
not content to have the picture painted
or burnt into the glass. He wanted
the work done in the actual colored
glass. The dealer was Obliged TO send
the photographs and an extended ex-
PLANTATION of what was wanted abroad,

took months for It's completion, and
when II was finished and returned the
dealer notified his rich patron. But
the window never found place in the
rich mans house. They had been mar
ried long enough to become estranged
and divorced. The rich man had com
pleted the house he had built for his
bride and was living alone In 1t. There
were enough sad memories about the
house without having the face of the
woman from whom he had separated
looking down on him from one OF the
great windows, so the work was never
accepted. That is the reason the mem
bers of the Klnloch club were able to

A PAIR OF HORSES THAT DIVE 100 F[ET.

High diving horses are the latest
aovelty in the line of animal perform
srs. From a platform raised nearly
tne hundred feet from the ground two
horses have been trained to dive into
lake of water. The animals belong
70 George F. Holloway of Bancroft.
Iowa, who has raised and trained them
10 perform their wonderful feat. Both
of the horses are remarkable beauties
of their kind. One of them, named
Queen, Is of pure milk-white color,
while the other, King, has few
brown spots scattered here and there
over his body. Both are years old
and measure seventeen hands high.
A long wooden walk Of gradual slant
enables the horses to reach the plat
form, which is erected at the edge of
the lake. The spectators stand
grouped around the lake to watch the
teat. To the average person 1t seems
impossible that an animal of the bulk
Of horse would dive successfully
from such height. With apparent
nonchalance one of the horses saun-
ters up the walk to the platform.
Standing almost hundred feet above
the heads Of the audience the animal
calmly surveys the crowd below. The
door Of the platform is thrown open
and the horse makes the dive. The
most wonderful part of the act is the
fact that the animal does not jump
Into the lake, but actually dives, strik
Ing the water with his fore feet. Dur
Ing the few seconds that elapse be-
tween the dive and the striking of the
water the spectators stand breathless
with astonishment and repressed ex-
element. And as the animal strikes
the lake, almost everybody's eyes
close and a shudder passes through
the crowd. Then as the horse calmly
rises to the surface and, shaking its
head. swims unconcernedly around, a
spontaneous burst of applause breaks
forth in which everyone joins. The
horses seem to take to the feat with
out bit of fear and jump without any
urging. They seem to do 1t as a mat
ter of course. The owner of the ami
mails, George F. Holloway. tells an in
teresting story Of how he became
aware of their high-diving procllvities.
He said to a reporter:
When King and Queen were small
colts they were kept in one pasture
and their mothers In another A river
and high bluff intervened and it was
considered that no animal could get
from one pasture to another, so no
fence was built between. The colts
had not been in the pasture many days
before | found them one morning in
the lower pasture, with their moth
ers. 1t was such puzzle to me as to
how they got there that | decided to
watch King and Queen one night. |

high bluffs into the river below and

The coming Festival of Mountain
and Plain to be held in Denver, Sep
tember 25th to September 30th, Will,
beyond all question, be the banner eel.
ebration in Denver's history.
Never before have such elaborate
preparations been made by the board
of directors, and never have the vari-
GUS committees worked with such en-.
thusiam. Never before has there been
such demand for seats, especially
from residents of the country districts,
and 1t Is now Il certainty that the ca
pacity Of the grand stand will be
taxed to accommodate the thousands of
spectators.
The program arranged for the week
cannot fail to appeal to all classes of
citizens. There will be one continual
round of entertainment from Monday
until Saturday.
While the former festivals have Oc-
cupied but three days and legion of
entertaining features have been crowd
cd into that time, thus depriving many
visitors of needed rest and time to visit
their friends and properly look over the
city. the board of directors this year
has determined to devote the entire
week to the festival
Two essentially new features have
been included in tlM list ;of attrac-
tions-the exposition and state fair and
the horse show. The fair will be open
on Monday and continue through the
week. and from the. applications for
space already Received from farmers,
horticulturalists and manufacturers
throughout the state, Its success Is al
ready assured.
