Most of the circus acrobats and not
few of the rough and tumble come
dams of the stage who have graduated
from the ring were reared and learned
the rudiments of their business In the
lumber towns of the northwest. In the
business these are known as saw
dust towns" on account of the saw
mills, which are their chief industry.
There are many of these in Wisconsin
and AIichigar and several in Iowa that
have turned out the bulk of the aero
bats and tumblers IL the business.
In the "sawdust towns" the small
boys have exceptional facilities for
learning TO turn somersaults and hand
springs In the great beds of sawdust
that surround the mills. Soon they be-
gin TO try the more difficult feats they
see done in the shows that visit the
towns. After school hours they tum-
BILE until 1t is time to go home and do
the Chores" From out of them all
there generally rise two or ,hree boys
who get the knack of the acrobatic
feats, and these work in constant RI
valry, each trying to excel the other.
One day along comes a circus, and
the best boy tumbler applies for job
and shows what he can do Perhaps
he is given a chance as top mount

because he is light and active. When
he gets older, heavier and stronger,
he may become an ''understander," or
the man who holds mountain of men
on his shoulders. And thus he gets

Horses wounded on the battlefield
are duly attended to when no danger
to human life is involved. The veteri-
nary officer in charge is expected to
follow close on the fighting line and,
together with q number Of aids. to in
spect properly wounded animals and
give instructions for their removal or
slaughter, as the case may. be. The
veterinary surgeon Is naturally expos
ed to considerable danger, but If his
work Is not carried out during the
progress of hostilities in all probability
it cannot be accomplished afterward,
for, although the royal army medical
corps is allowed to proceed to the res,
cue of the wounded men under the
Red Cross, the members of the army
veterinary department are not permit
ted to attend to the injured horses. be-
cause they are not under the protection
of the Geneva convention, which makes
no provision whatsoever for wounded
animals.
At the conclusion of the battle, II 1t
has been decisive and one or other Of
the combatant armies has been driven
from the field, party Of veterinary
surgeons, with their assistants, is sent
out to examine every animal that has
fallen and to shoot such as are badly
wounded. Those suffering from only
slight injuries are collected and taken
to the veterinary hospital lines, formed
as fixed camps and established on a
!. similar basis to those of the royal ar

a Dry SIN olge.


IF you see a man with an unlighted
cigar between his lips, 1t is not be-
cause he Is looking for light. but be-
cause he is indulging IN the pleasure Of
dry smoke" How there can be any
enjoyment in this to a smoker is not
readily apparent, but the fact remains
that there Is much satisfaction in the
habit, and, besides, there are no bane-
full effects.
For inveterate smokers the dry smoke
is good habit to cultivate. It enables
many slaves Of the weed to decrease
the number of cigars actually smoked
in q day without causing much incop-
veniencc. OF course an inveterate
smoker would find no pleasure in the
habit at the start but perseverance is
necessary, and after awhile he will en-
Joy his dry smoke almost as much as
the real one. 1t is a good way to be-
gin If you desire to stop smoking. Try
it and see.-New York Herald.
