MODEL SALOON IN MISSOURI.
Nothing Movable in 1t to Use in Fight

prised to have his beer handed out in Il

explains, you must have observed that
4 large per cent. of the fights in bar
rooms originate over some imaginary in
suit which is resented with IL blow Wit
beer glass. or Il thrown beer glass
which intlicts Il bad wound. You can t
hurt anybody with tin cup
There IS not movable piece OF fur
niture IN the place, chair. table. stove leg
or anything else, that might be used as a
weapon.
IF anybody is ever hurt in the Gun
club, says Hook, 1T will be with weap-
ons brought in, or with natures own
tools. On the wallis are these notices:
:Profane language will not be tolerated
in this house" Minors will not he

VEGETABLE PORCUPINE.
Wild Cattle Eat the Razor-Iike Spines
with Seeming Iron-Clad Mouths.

The best-hated castus in America is
the cholla. says Country Life in Ameri-
ca. The MeNicans say that if YOU 90
near cholla joint it will jump at YOU
Certainly if YOU touch one it will stick.
and when you try to free yourself it will
pierce your other hand as well. Each
pendant joint seems to reach out for the
passer-by. and the ground beneath the
broad cholla trees is strewn with fallen
fragments many of which take root
and grow.
After one has felt the sharp spines
through heavy boots and seen their
needle points. It is source of continual
wonder to see the wild cattle of Arizona
quietly browsing on chollas. The
phrase, "cactus-fed," as applied to .Ari-
IONA. is not Il figure Of speech. During
the years of drought thousands of cattle
carry themselves over until the next
grass by eating chollas With their
leathery tongues and lips they strip the
splny joints from the trunk and leave
the wide spreading cactus bare and
woody skeleton. 1t is only the range
cattle, whose mouths have been hard
ened on III the thorny mesquite and IRON
wood browse, who will undertake to eat
cactus. and cattlemen therefore often

animals to eat

THE CHRISTMAS ATMOSPHERE.
The Christmas Feeling Like an Unseen
Halo Glorifes All the World.

Among all evenings in the year, and
all the days, there is no other evening
like Christmas eve, no other day like
Christmas day. Whether the eve and
the day be dark and stormy, or still and
fair. does not matter. The difference is
not in the weather or the season, but III
that more subtle atmosphere which,
from generation to generation through
all the centuries, has been our inherit
ance from that first Christmas eve and
day when newborn Babe sent it's wall
ing cry from the manger of Bethlehem.
The world looks different through this
Christmas atmosphere. However festive
or sad the occasion, however gay CT
gloomy the streets may be, whatever may
be orr surroundings, the Christmas feel
ing Is there. No one may say just where
in it les. 1t is like an unseen halo that
glorities and makes holy every goot,
thought and impulse, while it reveals in
darker relief whatever is tragic. un-
worthy, or vicious. A great disaster on
Christmas eve or day shocks us as If
does at no other season; a great joy
comes in that sweet raiment of gladness
that only Christmas brings Through
nineteen centuries has this light fingered
round the hearts of men, and through all
those ages it has not grown DIM Year
after year slips by and is added to the
past. But with each Christmas eve and
day our homes and our highways are
once more filled with the old, sweet 10y

Function of the City Church

The city church has first of all func-
ton to fulfill to the family life of the city
In SO doing it not only gives what homes
have q right to expect from it, but gets
from the family that upon which its own
perpetulty and progress must depend
For the family is the type Of relationship
to realize which the church exists. 1t is
the primary social cell which divides and
develops the other structures Of society
In religion it is the central sphere which
unltes to itself and to one another all the
spheres Of human life within which the
relationships Of religion are to be realized.
The family is, therefore, to be utilized by
type, standard and example of religious
relationships Godward and MAYNARD and
to realize these relationships throughout
the world by the use of home life, house
hold equipment and the cooperation OF
family groups.
The church has no higher social func-
ton than to cooperate with the family in
fulfilling its function. If upon the fam
lily society depends for the reproduction
Of human life, the family has right to
look to the church for the sanctity of the
marriage bond and the protection of in
FAINT life. If sex life can be legitimately
filled only within the family. the church
may be expected to teach and conserve
sexual purity. As home is The only nor
NAL place for the nurture of child life, the
right Of the child to play, education, free
dom from. too early and excessive labor.
guardianship and equality of opportunity

Queen Helena a Cook.

Queen Helena of Italy IS a royal lady
who has Il very practical knowledge of
cooking. At her fathers curiously home
learned many useful things, and among
them the art Of cooking. The Prince Of
Montenegro insisted that all his children
should learn Il trade-a rule which, by
the way, obtains in the <sernan imperial
family-and the future Queen CT Italy,
became not merely a good plain COOK,
but also skilled in the preparation OF the
curious sWeetmeats and patisserie OF
which Orientals are so fond The late
King Humbert insisted On tasting his
daughter-in-law' cookery, and SO pleased
was he with the dainty fare she set be-
fore him that he conferred on her, with
mock ceremony, the title OF Lady High

paper that riding astride is most danger
Gus to women. He says:
IF woman were formed like man,
it would, of course, be the simplest way
for her to ride, but as it is, she is abso-
lutely different, and has to have differ
cnt conditions to MAKE riding safe and
suitable sport for her. BY riding | do
not mean the western lope, or single
foot; for such rocking horse movements
the position is lmmaterial. 1t is when
she trots astride the danger comes in.
"A woman'S leg is round and short,
and mans IS fiat on the inside and
longer, consequently he can get thigh
hold and knee grip, which the average
woman never can, therefore, she has TO
ride from the stirrup and receives the
recoll and consusSion from the horses
forelegs without any protection what
ever.
AS to the question Of safety, the side
saddle has an enormous advantage over
the cross saddle. In the former the rider
can lock her legs around the pommels,
whereas astride she is too distended to
have much grip, and is very readily I'M
seated. Ralph Smith, breeder and
trainer Of the blue ribbon high jumpers
IN England, told me that whenever he
had bad one to break he invariably
used side saddle. as he didn't care to
FISK his neck for nothing. Such expert
testimony as this is rather apt to quash
theory.
Permit me to give you one opinion Of
the Baroness Won Rahden upon the sub
Ject. She taught the Russian Empress
and the majority of European Queens,
including the late Empress Of Austria,
who was the acknowledged finest rider
in Europe. She says: L have heard of
young girls and women who have SUIT
fered cruelty for months after the first
few lessons and had to give up.
Now, if riding astride were natural
for women, as advocates of the mans
saddle claim, it wouldn't be so painful.
Pains are the penalty of unnatural poses
and doings. 1t is unnatural for a woman
to straddle a horse, which necessitates
placing her limbs at an angle of from GO
to 20 degrees. 1t is unnatural and un-
healthy. Study Of the female body, ana
tomically considered, will make that per
fectly clear to any person of common
sense. for by such strain and by the nee
cssarily unnatural movements, several Of
wOmanS inner organs are more or less
displaced, while the ligaments of the
body are dangerously affected by disten-
sion.
AS consequence, woman making
Il practice of riding astride will lose her
graceful outlines and her good figure.
She will get fat and gross. l am told
that the many women advocates of the
mans saddle have already got to that
state, and that their physicians bear me
out as to the causes
