Initial Service.

The initial church services held in
the Santa Fe Central town OF Estan-
Ella, were conducted Thursday evening
by the Rev. DR.. A. p. Morrison, pastor

emit Of Methodist missions in New
Mexico and Arizona. The services
we're held in the Office Of the Estancia
News, which is being established by
P. A. Speckmann Of Trinidad. Colo,
who has taken up his residence there.

mar and child in the community at
tended the services. Even those
who could not understand English

tentive and interested persons in the
assemblage. DR.. Morrison was great

.For Mothers Sake

For Mothers Sake" a new rural
drama, will be seen at the Duncan
Nov. IL. A great deal Of fault has
been found of late with the general
run of plays, because of the tendency
of managers to select two or three
capable people and for the balance OF
the company pick UP any derelict
which they may find floating on the
theatrical ocean. This is a penny
wise-and-pound-foolish plan; it de-
ceives no one but the managers them.
selves. They are the ones that are
deluded in being led to believe that
the theatre going public cannot see
through their scheme. Happily, Man.
ayers russo & Holland do not belong
to that class Of u~nprincipled manag-
ers; they give the public credit for the
intelligence they possess. They re-
alize that one or two actors cannot
give q satisfactory performance. In
engaging people they select only the
best, and therein lies the secret Of the
company's success; every man and
woman in the cast Of For Mother's
Sake" Is a finished actor.

MATT CAY,
HIGH DIVER
INTERESTING RELATION or
METHOD or PERFORMING
THE FEAT AND MANNER
OF LERNiNG II.

Before leaving Las Vegas, Matt
Gay, the high diver whose pretty feat
interested SO many during the carni-
val, told an Optic reporter something
Of his history and Of the manner in
which he learned the art Of neutraliz-
ing the effect of gravity.
Mr.. Gay said it was in the bath
houses of San Francisco that he and
a number of other young men had
practised for years making high dives
turning in the air and going through
various aquatic and aerial evolutions.
mainly for the purpose Of amusing
themselves. However, after they be-
came adopts, they resolved to turn
their experiences to financial account.
They found that their feats pleased
the people who anne to the bath
houses greatly, and a trial proved that
larger throngs were delighted. Sew
eral Of the young men took up diving
for a living. Gay was the only n
of the number who had practised the
backward leap, but though he had
spent years of careful study and
practise and study on the spectacular
jump, he found the time had been well
spent. He Immediately rushed far
ahead Of his fellows in the favor OF the
public.
Gay, %unstrapping his mind regard
ing the manner in which the turn was
accomplished, said the trick was ac-
complished by mean of the movement
of his head. This guided the direction
Of his body and he could within certain
limits stop or turn himself at will
while in the air. This fact, he as
serted could be convincingly demon
strated by making his platform high
er or lower. He could still jump on
backward, turn completely around
and light on his feet in the water.
The diver admitted that the wind
bothered him. When it blew with nc
greater velocity than twenty-five
miles and hour he waited for q lull and
then jumped. But there was always
danger that a sudden gust would
cause him to lose his balance and
strike the water wrong. He might
just as well strike stone. II the wind
was higher than twenty-five miles an
hour he simply walked back down the
ladder. The people might not like
it but that was better than a broken
back. In fine weather Mr.. Gay said
he ran no risk than jumping
from q fence.
The diver said he did not turn in
striking the water. He bent his legs
slightly just as he reached the tank.
This made a way for his body ami the
water acted as q great sofa cushion.
There was practically no shock at all
when he shot into the water.

Miss Caroline Purdy

"There isn't woman in the world
who can't find something to do to
make money if she is willing TO work
hard enough" said Miss Caroline Pur-
dy Of Chicago, who, after giving up
schoolteaching as being too hard on
the nerves, found her vocation in max
ing cookies.
A willingness to work had certainly
something TO do with it in her case. as
the sum total Of the cookies she has
made in the last eight years reaches a
million and a half. Starting the first
day by baking three dozen, she soon had
a patronage that called for 300 dozen a
week. This, kept up for each Of the
tifty-two weeks during eight years,
amounts TO 1.5T7eO0. AS this number
is only lessened by failing to bake"
less than a half dozen times, Miss
Purdy probably holds the record in
unassisted cooky making over a
route which extends for several blocks
