is Horse Show in itself. Concerning
the Great Wallace Shows which will
exhibit in Middlebury on Thursday, May
31st. the Farmer said: thine, inteli-
gence, patience and perseverance are
necessary in the collecting of 200 head of
horses, such as NAV be seen, and are m
daily use of the Great Wallace Show.
The proprietor of this show, b. f. Wal
lace il an lndianaian, and Is proud of
this distinction, while on the other hand
the people are equally proud of Mr.. Wal
lace, for what he Is doing in showing our
farmers and people generally the beauty
and advantage in having good horses.
When Mr.. Wallace conceived the idea of
entering the circus business, he was also
determined to purchase the best hor e.
for draft purposes as well as for use in
ring and races and with this end in view
he chose for his type of horse for draft
the Percheron. the ideal draft horse. and
for his races the kentucky thoroughbred.
Following out this plan. he has collect
ed together over POO head of the finest
horses the world eyer saw. He selected
for his band chariot - handsome jet
blacks, and for his dens aud other wagons
dapple grays. These intermingled with
his fine thoroughbreds make one of the
most imposing parades ever witnessed.
Each year new stock is added, but each
time the same breed is selected, until
to-day. MIR. Wallace staLds without a
peer as a Judge of horses. The mating up
of the different teams is also an object
lesson TO the eye, uniformity IN size and
color always predominating. Well may
it be truthfully advertised, The finest
horses of any show in the world To
see the Wallace horses reminds one of
being present at the great horse fair,
the painting of which made the late Rosa
Bonheur famous. His display of horses
is worth anyOne's time to witness, and
should be seen by every farmer in the
land, as he would soon see the advantage
of breeding horses uniform in size and
color. Mr.. Wallace's circus is like his
horses, the best and finest the world ever

toria, dated August 9:
"a plot to shoot all the British officers
and to make Lord Roberts prisoner has
been opportunely discovered. Ten Of the

jail.
Probably the plot was part OF a con-
splracy. of which the attempted rising at
Johannesburg was the first Indication
Everything was prepared in the plot to
make Lord Roberts a prisoner and shoot
the British officer and the conspiracy was
only discovered at the last moment. The
conspirators numbered about fifteen. They
had planned to set fire to the houses in the
extreme western part of the city. hoping
that the troops would be concentrated there.
The plan was that then the conspirators
were forcibly to enter all houses occupied by
British officers. these having been previous
ly marked, and to kill the occupants.
All the BoeT sympa athizers were ac-
quainted with the plot and several had been
told Off to secure the person of Lord
Roberts and to hurry with him to the near
est commando. Horses had been obtained
for this purpose. Then the British learned
the names OF the ringleaders, who were
put under arrest. The affair has created a
tremendous sensation

Mrs. Lake read her report and took the

blunuy speaking of the use Of intoxicants
by society women:
"Why, would you believe It? At many af-
ternoon teas Intoxicating liquor has taken
the place of tea to noticeable extent.
There is where the young debutantes begin
to acquire the taste for Stimuiants. Soon
they do not care to eat unless they have
their cocktails first. The rest follows a
matter of course. There Is but one sure
cure-stop the manufacture of Intoxicating
liquor.
There are many women from higher
classes of society going to the House of the
Good Shepherd voluntarily to get away
from liquor. The number is increasing all
the time, and at the woman's alcoholic ward
at Bellevue the attending nurses and ply
sicians state that seldom a day goes by
that some decent-looking woman is not
brought in or comes herself to be treated.
