curves. At night the whole is light

bows with the gentlemen and the great
unknown may join in the ceremony at
the regular price of admission.
At one entrance the horses beat an i'm
patient tattoo upon the plank flooring
and at the blare of the bugle come
prancing into the ring on two feet. re-
serving the vigor of the other two for
paving purposes. Round and round
they wheel, with their exotic road rigs
and imperturbable gentleman jock driv-
ers, q maze of white lines, yellow
wheels, red wheels and glossy, shining
necks and TANKS. Leaders may try to
climb into carts, wheelers jump over
leaders, runners turn somersaults over
riders, but the solemn waXwork drivers
never move q muscle, never vary the
proper angle of the whip; the elegant
riders remount the rearing hunters
amid the plaudits of the ladies and the
ubiquitous grooms in their English
dress climb up and down the tall carts
like cats.
OF course the horsy girl is there, but
she is only there in spots and is more
apt to break out in the afternoon, when
she stalks about in the stalls in her rid
ing habit, talking to her escort of hook
and fetlocS. muzzle and action. The
tailor made girl is there too. She leads
in leash the ugliest bulldog she can
find. She and her escort know all
about horses, too, for they are own
ers.
But, like all things human, the horse
show must come to an end. The great
carnival of beauty and fashion closes
on Saturday with parade of the prize
winners. Every animal in the line
marches around the great ellipse decked
with its emblems of victory, tossing
its blue and red rosettes with conscious
pride.
Then comes the closing scene, and
horse show week passes into history.
At IL p. m. the official bugler takes his
place for the last time. The band has
just finished playing Home. Sweet
Home and "Auld Lang Syne."
The bugler sounds Taps, Lights
outv' Out so the electric bulbs that
have blazed for week. The horse
show is over.

ions elite, and around the promenade
the Surging crowd rolls, staring at the
occupants with undisguised curiosity.
Everybody who is anybody and thou
sands of nobodies 90 to the show. The
gathering of pretty girls is in itself
sight to remember. Erect naughty
beauties from Boston, smiling bellies
from Baltimore, demure little charmers
from Philadelphia and stunning crea-
lures from Chicago, women and girls
from every quarter of the country, all
looking at one another and being gazed
at in return-this gives to the horse
show a peculiar atmosphere of its own.
But the horse after all is the feature
of the show. The continuous feature,
that is, the exhibition of the horses in
the stalls-attracts hundreds who hard
ly know the difference between a
hackney and a pony. But then they'll
learn, and even before they do they'll
get their moneys worth, and that
makes everything satisfactory.
Down among the stalls those who
know least about horses apparently find
the greatest interest. There is some
thing entertaining to the least informed
in the sight of the beautiful animals in
their domestic and social lives, so to
say The big Russians, the midget
Shetlands the dainty thoroughbreds
and trotters, the solid and fashionable
hackneys are at home there for the re-
ception of visitors, and their groomS
are more than willing to assist in re-
ceiving.
The judging OF the various classes
begins at each morning and contin-
ues throughout the day and evening,
with intermiSsions for lunch and din
ner. While the show is well attended
during the daytime it is in the evening
that society is seen in its splendor of
raiment, and the general public,
dressed in its best, adds TO the gayety
of the show.
The pageant in the Garden is gor-
geous, like a court festival in the days
of old. Grandeur is pushed TO pompos-
ity and splendor to ostentation, all to

unite mother and son after so many
years was brought about through the
meeting of the brothers Sept. 3. 1t
was in 1869 that Mr.. Williams parents
separated, when Harvey was tad of
a boy. The father afterwards came
to Moline where he was killed by
lightning in 1874. Harvev's stepmother
remarked and moved to Iowa. Ills
own mother emigrated to America
and also remarked, but she never
gave up her search for her eldest son,
though her efforts were fruitlesS I'M
til nine years ago when the first trace
was found of Harvey. But Harvey's
step-parents took pains to see that
none of the letters addressed to him
ever reached his hand. so that he was
kept in entire ignorance of the where
aboutS of his mother. consequently
the appearance of his brother here in
September was a surprise whose

feminine beauty and equine beauty vie
with each other for the admiration of
the multitude.
While notable and successful shows
have been held in other cities, New
York still reigns supreme in the num-
Der and quality of the animals exhibit
ed, the richness of the prizes offered
flor competition and the great outpour-
ing of wealth and fashion as well as
of numbers of people who throng Mad

hYeek.
The eighteenth annual horse show
under. the auspices of the National
Horse Show association will soon
open at Madison Square Garden, and
flor a week some of the finest horses
i'm the United States will be on exhibit
idon and will compete for the associa-
lions coveted prizes.
1.-THE New York horse show is looked
flor annually by breeders and lovers of
horses, and while it has always been a
popular place for the display of fine
lraiment-where hundreds of people
go to be seen as well as to See-the
horse has never lost first place. The
popularity of the bicycle n few years
ago caused some fear that horse shows
would fail to attract attention, but
during the years when the wheel was
lat its highest popularity the New York
horse show attracted its greatest
crowds. Now the same people fear the
automobile will prove an injury to the
horse show, but its managers and pro-
motors have no fear on that score and
'have good reason TO believe that the
eighteenth annual exhibition will excel
all previous Shows.

That the theatrical claque is not con-

beyond all shadow of doubt to the
teacher who was drilling the pupils for

When Sarah began 10 talk, all her

Then the teacher threatened.

CASTING sleigh bells.

A question frequently asked is in re-
gard TO the method of producing sleigh
bells containing iron balls larger than
the opening in the bells. Previous to
making a cast the maker of sleighbells
puts an iron ball inside sand core.
just the shape of the inside of the bell
This sand core, with the jinglet inside,
is placed in the mold of the outside and
the melted metal poured in, which fills
up the space between the core and
mold. The hot metal burns the core so
that it can be shaken out, leaving the
ball within the shell. Ball valves,
swivel joints and many other articles
are cast in the same manner.

- THE FIRST WOMAN.
An Old Eastern Legend That Tells
How She Was Created.

An OLD Eastern Legend That Tells
How She Was Created.
The last section "Of a Finger OF the
Moon Reddened by the Setting SUM- in
the Sanscrit work called the "Surging
of the Ocean of Time contains legend
concerning woman's creation which is
commonly credited throughout India,
and which runs somewhat as follows:
At the beginning of time, Twashtri, the
Vulcan of Hindoo mythology, created
the world. But when he wished to
create q woman he found he had en-
ployed all his materials in the creation
of man. There did not remain one
solid element. Then Twashtri, per-
picked, fell into a profound meditation.
He reused himself to do as follows:
He took the lightness of the leaf and
the glance of the fawn, the gayety of
the suns rays and tears of the mist,
the Inconsistency of the wind, and the
timidity of the hare. the vanity of the
peacock and the softness of the down
on the throat of the swallow, the
harshness of the diamond, the sweet
flavor of honey, the cruelty of the tiger,
the warmth of fire, the chill of snow,
the chatter of the jay and the cooling
and formed woman. Then he made
a present of her to man. Eight days
later the man came to Twashtri and
said:
MY lord, the creature you gave me
poiSons my existence. She chatters
without rest, she takes all my time,
she laments for nothing at all and is al
ways ill.," And Twashtri received the
woman again. But eight days later the
man came again to the god and said:
MY lord, my life is very solitary
since / returned this creature. 1 re-
member she danced before my singing.
l recall how she glanced at me from
the corner of her eye, that she played
with me. chung TO me-" And Twashtri
returned the woman to him. Three
days only passed and Twashtri saw the
man coming to him again.
MY lord said he, Il do not under
stand exactly how, but I'm sure the
woman causes me more annoyance
than pleasure. 1 beg of you relieve me
of her."
But Twashtri cried, go your way
and do your best"'
And the man cried, At cannot live
with her.
Neither can you live without her."
replied Twashtri.
And the man went sorrowfully away,
murmuring. Woe is me: can neither
live with her nor without her."-Col-'
lier's Weekly.
