Training Circus Horses

From the Times-Democrat.
 willy Sells ten years ago accounted the champion bareback rider of the world but now having grown too stout for the business figuring as a circus proprietor in the firm of Sells & Grey. was talking Interestingly of circus horses a few evenings ago.
 'I began bareback riding in public" said he. when I was only years old. That was some thirty years ago. but I remember 1t very well. I was always fond of it. and if I were not too heavy, I would like 1t now. I never had bad fall. nor was ever laid up for a single day with strain or Q bruise. In the early days of my career we travelled from point to point in our wagons and not in railway trains as we do now. In those days circus folk knew what real hard work was. We would show in a town at night, close the performance at half-past nine. sleep until twelve, and then get up to take a midnight breakfast and hurry on to the next town for an afternoon and night performance. It was hard on the horses too. I do not mean the performing horses. for their work is never hard, and when not in the ring. they have nothing to 90 beyond eating end sleeping. excepting the walks

Shall the Churches Be Closed to
Members of Secret Orders?

At Des Moines, Ia, the import
ant topic before the United Presby-
terian General Assembly was revis-
ion of the creed which provides
that no member of any secret soci-
ETY. can be member of the church.
The Masonic and Odd Fellows
orders were special objects Of at
tack, one delegate going so far as
to say he believed no member Of a
secret society could ever reach
heaven.
DR.. James Grove, of Philadel-
phia, was practically bitter against
the Masonic order, and called the
exercises of the lodges worship
ping without Christ y
Rev. j. NJ. Wallace thought some
members of some societies might
be admitted to the church, but
wished to exclude Masons.
DR.. Mcmillan thought fraternal-
ism, taught by secret societies, was
anti-Christian.
Rev. T. f. Moffatt, of New
York, said no man could be both a
Mason or an Odd Fellow and a
Christian.
Rev. f. X. Smith, the only col
ored delegate, thought secret soci-
cites were wrong because they
compelled a man to keep secrets
from his wife, which was contrary
to the Bible teachings.
