treated like so much soft metal that

a good deal further and left him with
black and blue marks. That was the
way of doing things then. and boys

GORGEOUS DISPLAY MADE BY
UNIFORM RANK AT LOUIS
VILE TODAY.
Thousands of People Line the Principal
Streets Of City and View
the Parade.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 16.-This
has been a gala day in he history of
Louisville, and although the city has
been the scene Of many large and i'm
posing gatherings in the past few
years, the spectacle witnessed today is
conceded to have been one of the
most impressive in the citys history,
and to have brought within her con-
fines the largest crowd ever seen on
the streets.
The low rates on the railroads went
into effect Saturday, and since Sunday
the people have been coming in from
all points in Indiana Kentucky, Ohio
and other states. The railroads ex-
pected to carry 10000 people or so, but
the rush has been far beyond these
figures.
The great crush came today, as the
special attraction was the parade of the
uniform rank and the subordinate
lodge, which marched through the prin-
cipal streets of the city All public
and private buildings were gaily dec
GRATED for the occasion, and every
where along the line of march and on
the principal streets the Knights of
Pythias colors, enlivened with national
flags, foated from windows and bal
comics or hung from ropes stretched
across the streets.
When the hour for the parade ar
rived the people began to station
themselves along the line of march, and
on both sides of the street the masses
of human beings filled the looryards,
crowded the sidewalks and pushed far
out into the street. For distance of
three miles the crowd was packed
along the street and stood for two
hours watching the pageant.
Supreme Chancellor Bangs and the
officers of the supreme and grand
lodges, the city and state and county
officers, viewed the parade from the re-
viewing stand. The column, consisting
Of fully $4,000 members of the uni
form rank, started at two o'clock, the
officers, numbering about 500, all being
on richly caprsoned steeds. The Ken
lucky brigade Of several regiments and
bands led the march. Indiana and
Illinois came next with the largest
number in line. Ohio, Iowa. Michigan
California, New York Pennsylvania
West Virginia and other states were
we'll represented. More than score of
states in all were represented in the
uniform rank, and as many were in the
subordinate lodges, the members of the
latter in the parade being about $4,000

another safeguard in training is to
have level headed assistants. Some
of the tricks done are very difficult and
dangerous, as, for instance, the so
called four high A fall in this act
would mean serious things and be apt
to upset the confidence of a child per-
former. After the little fellow has
learned to balance himself aloft, with
out calling too much on the man at
the rope, the mechanic is dispensed
with, and two keen helpers follow the
act around the circle ready to catch the
kid if he should waver and fall. These
men never leave the child in this act
until he has thoroughly mastered the
art of balancing up high, and has the
most perfect confidence in himself
Even after the youngster has shown
great self reliance there is danger of
a lapse, and only weeks of patient
training upon a single perilous act can
justify the risk of a public perform
