BRAWN AND MUSCLE.

"Where are the roses of yesterday"
sighed Francois Villon, pensively. But
today, eyeing the living fac Smiles OF
Gibson's ''Debutante," the modern poet
is apt to exclaim, Where are the la.
dies of yesterday" and to answer his
own question with the pensive little
refrain, "Gone, all gone" For the young
woman of Drawn and muscle who
thrashes the young man who ogles her
on the street corner, and who refuses
even to faint after the bout, would dis
dain the title of lady as namby pamby.
And, apparently, such young women
are increasing in numbers.
There is the case of Miss Shayne, for
instance. Miss Shayne is a New York
girl and an athlete. Strolling the, other
day on Manhatten beach she met an
audacious stranger who attempted to
encircIe her waist with his arm. 1t
was here that Miss Shayne's punching
bag exercises stood her in good stead.
She knocked the audacious stranger
down three times while the crowd
formed a ring and cheered. 49,.
Miss Shayne is not a solitary exam
pie of her sex's prowess in subduing
firtatious youths. Hardly day passes
that one does not read an account of
some such incident. 1t would seem
that there had been some sort of a
metempsychosis and that the sturdy
oak had changed souls with the cling
ing vine. At any rate, if the young
woman happens to have an escort with
her, he retires to a safe distance
whence he cheers on his Amazonian
companion. The conflict over, he rejoins
her and their promenade is continued
as if nothing out of the ordinary had
happened
so, heavens" the gentle Amelia Of
the past was wont to exclaim, in a
tremor of bushes, when she realized
that the bold glances of some stranger
rested upon her. And then, when a
gallant youth had come to her rescue,
the gentle maiden invariably swooned
away and the gallant youth was put to
it to carry her safely home. Between
the athletic Miss Shaynes and the
blushing Amelias, there is little choice,
perhaps. Fortunately, between the
two there has been and always will be
the type of girl who represents the
happy medium. She does not feel it
necessary to thrash an impertinent
stranger because he is impertinent;
neither does she scream at the sight
of a mouse.
But unfortunately for the reputation
of the sex, though fortunately for her,
the type does not get into the papers.
Neither does it furnish to any great
extent material for the heroines of the
popular novels of the day. For popular
novelists must search for extremes;
and it is because there are extremes in
life that newspapers make both ends
meet So while cursory glance about
him may convince the modern poet
that the ladies of yesterday are gone
forever, the average man is quite con-
ffdent that their prototypes are to be
met with today, for he has found them
himself among the average women.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Aug. %
Cracksmen early this morning entered
the meat market of John Archer and
after blowing the safe to pieces Sc
cured its contents and fled, leaving not
the slightest clew which would aid the
officers in running them down. The
robbery was one of the boldest in the
history of the city, the building enter
ed being diagonally across from the
government building and postoffice on
one of the business streets. The
policeman on the beat was only few
minutes before summoned to another
part of his district. While in COM
pany with another officer they heard
the sound of the explosion and a short
time later discovered what had occur
red but. the cracksmen had made good
their escape. They secured all the
cash which had been taken in since the
closing of the banks yesterday after
noon. The robbers may have been the
same men who On the morning Of
August 13 dynamited the safe in the

A crowd that filled the Grand to

Kentucky''-its eleventh visit-inau-
gurated the fall season and drew the
largest opening house, according TO the
management, that Kentucky mas
ever received in this city. New car
pets, draperies and a general renoVa-
tion has taken place during the sum-
mer interim and this playhouse is for
this season more cozy and convenient
than ever before. There is a refresh
ing air of cleanness and brightness
about the entire theater, which indi-
Gates that deal of work has been
done.
Mr.. Lift has provided splendid
production of "Kentucky'' for this sea-
son, and although last nights per-
formance was the first Of the COM
pany's season, it was marred by no
| imperfectionS,' and in fact was one Of
the best performances Of the play ever
given here. Scenica1ly the production
is superb, fulfilling the promise of the
advance agent, that everything for this
season is brand new. 1t is question
if any previous production of the piece
has presented a more picturesque first
act scene. The producing company Is
with but few exceptions, the same
as last season.
Miss Bessie Barriscale sustained her
reputation as being one of the best
Madges the play has ever seen, and
her performance was an Improvement
over her effort of last year. She is a
magnetic little woman and her acting
has the true ring that appeals to the
| sympathies of an audience. She fits
the role Of Madge as though it was
written for her and is altogether sweet
and charming in the part.
George Heath as Frank Layson was
well received. George w. Deyo makes
the role of Joe Lorey stand out as one
of the prominent characterizations of
the piece. He is a forceful actor and
reads his lines with much effect Otis
| Turner is an excellent Neb, unctuouS
! and humorous throughout the entire
| piece. The balance of the characters
were well presented, Miss Stella Dale
! winning decided favor as Barbara Hol-
ton, and Miss Lillian Dix being sat
isfactory Aunt Lethe. James Num-
was a characteristic colonel.
| The pickaninnieS contributed no
end of the fun and amusement and the
barn yard scene was prolific in the
music, song, dance and comedy of the

It Pays te Spray.

The following from tue Salt Lake
Tribune will apply to Idaho as well
as to Utah, and will be of-interest to
Idaho fruit growers:
Every fruit-grower in Utah should
see the results of the spraying expert
ment as shown in the Agricultural
college exhibit at the state fair. The
orchard on which the experiment was
made was one in which the owner
said that last year he had hardly an
apple that was not wormy. The
spraying was done early in the sea-
son, after the blooms had fallen and
before the apples had grown large
enough to close the calyx. A second
spraying was made two weeks later,
to get any that had been missed.
The mixture was applied very care
fully, the trees being gone over in o
systematic manner, so that no part
was missed The mixture was well
agitated to keep it uniforml through
out the work. This is the point
where great many farmers fail, the
mixture is not kept we'll stirred, and
the first part of it is of no use and
the latter part is too strong The
ordinary Paris green was used as the
insecticide. White arsentic woulo

have done as we'll but the green, by

have done as well but the green, by
its color, never being mistaken for
anything else, is safer to have
around. No hme was used, as it
dis6gures the fruit.
AS result Of these two sprayings
S8 5 per cent of the fruit was en-
tirely free from worms This stands
in very striking contrast with the
conditions of the fruit last year,
when nearly all the apples were
wormy and consequently unmarked
able. 1t is needless to say that the
owner of the orchard is enthusiastic
on the benefits of spraying and will
take care to practice it in future.
The cost of the spraying, ;nclnd-
ing labor, was 6 cents per tree, or
$6.50 per acre. Surely this is not
too great trouble and expense
when the value of clean crop of
apples is so considerable.
To ascertain the value of a crop IN
the orchard sprayed, an average tree
was picked and the fruit carefully
sorted. The yield from an 8-year-
old tree, was four bushels of clean,
marketable fruit. The fruit wil
bring now 81 per bushel, or for th'
acre of 109 trees, $432. From thi
