little girl learn them at a school or learn them yourself and pass them on to her. Give her the different castanet dances to teach her all the beautiful swaying motions that the southern people know. La Cachuca and Ln Zigarilla are best for this. The Rain bow dance. with its many colored rib bons; the Wreath dance. the Skipping Rope dance, all make her supple. The different hornpipes, Sailors Fishers and Fisherman's, are best adapted to the boys. Ia Tyrolenne and La Jote Andaloure are charming. The old time minuet will give poise to all the lit- tie folks and a certain dignity of mo- tion which has its place even among the merry young people.
 It is all such fun that before you know 1t the little lady has come to point her toes outward as the dances compel her to do; she is erect, but not stiff: she walks well; she Is not inconvenienced by too many arms.

REIGN OF TERROR
CAUSED IN COLORADO TOWN BY
 CENTIPEDEs.
Residents Prepare to Move-several Bitten by Dangerous Insects and Pest Increases Day by
 Day,

genuine scare has been caused among residents of Barnum. Colo, and vicinity by the appearance in that part of the city of numerous centipedes. Sev- eral families are preparing to remove, says The Denver Republican, so afraid are the members that they will be at tackled. The first victim is Mrs. Hard man. wife of Special Policeman Robert w. Hardman of 560 Knox Court and for several days last week she fingered near the point of death. She has recov- cred, however, but still is weak from the effects of the bite she received.
 Within the last two weeks at least dozen centipedes have been captured iD or near Barnum by men and boys. who are now exhibiting them in bottles. In several instances the captors were not aware of the fact that they risked their own lives in catching the centipedes. They didn't know the nature of the strange insect.
 Mrs. Hardman was bitten week ago yesterday morning while she was pre- pairing breakfast for her husband. Sh" reached into a bag of potatoes and felt a sudden pain in her finger. With drawing her hand, she discovered, to her horror, writhing ccntipede cling ing othe finger. She was able to shake 1t off. She called her husband and he, with broom and dust pan. caught the centipede and placed 1t in q bottle. Then he filled the bottle with alcohol.
 <Dr. A. F. Grant was summoned by the husband, and he promptly applied remedies to save the patient The ef- fects of a bite of centipede resemble those following bite of rattlesnake. It Is said that the suffering resulting from either is most acute. Without medical attention the victim is driven to madness by the horrible pains which seem to shoot through the limbs into all parts of the body.

Patient was Delerious.


 eral times It's natural size, and the day after she was bitten a purple rash ap- peared. upon her arms and body. She was delirious for some time. and only the close attention of pr. Grant ana other physicians who were called into attendance saved the patient from a terrible death
 The suffering lasted four days, dur ing which time Mrs. Hardman lay and tossed in pain in her bed. Then an improvement was noted in her condi- ton. and now she is able to be about.
 Several centipedes have been found out here" said Hardman last night. Section men who have been replacing ties on the Denver and Interurban rail- road have told me that while they were at their work they discovered a number of centipedes that had made their homes in the old rotten ties. My wife was very i'll on account of the bite she received. We thought possi- bly that the centipede had been brought into the house in the potatoes, but as far as have been able to learn they are not to be found where potatoes grow. The one that I caught was about five inches in length and a perfect specimen.
 Only a few days ago some children playing near the home of Mrs. G. W. Watson, 1464 W05t Bayaud street, dis covered a centipede. None ventured to pick it up. but finally it was captured with long stick and killed.
 The centipede is supposed to be native of warm and dry countries and its appearance is nor welcome in Dem yer. The insect thrives usually in dry places and seldom Is found near water
 Few children are going about bare- footed in the threatened district as their parents have warned them of the new terror. They are enjoined to flee as soon as they see a centipede. One eamily is removing from Barnum be- cause of the advent of the insect and others may follow. The case of Mrs Hardman has been a topic of general discussion in Barnum for the last week
 The Hardmans have lived in Barnum for many years. Mir. Hardman Is the keeper of the Barnum pound. and also is part pay policeman and president of the Villa Park Brick Company.

reports terrific fighting on land ana

days. The highest Japanese authority
here says that the army ana naSSi
commanders of the besieging forces
had planned TO begin their Ilnal as
sault on Tuesday last and expected 10
effect the capture by July %, but that
NO official reports were expected rom

the present attack results in success

here are now sending junks to the
Miaotao islands ready to enter the

after the fail of the fortress.

Vladiyostok squadron fastened the

Japanese authorities realizing that It

CHICAGO PACKERS GET ENOUGH
woREMEN TO KEEP ALL De-
PARTMENTs BUSY.
RECEIPTS OF LIVE STOCK UMUs.
uALLY LARGE AND BEEF
SHIPMENTS HEAVY.
HUNDREDS OF STRIKERS DESERT
UNION AND RESUME WORK
At KANSAS CITY.

Chicago. Aug. 2.-Monday was a
busy day with the packers. With in
creased forces of skilled workingmen
and the operating departments more
thoroughly equipped than at any time
since the beginning of the strike, the
employers took firm grip OH the ma
chinery of their affairs and as result
the stock yards took on run of ac-
tivity. Over $4,000 head of livestock
were received here Monday. This is
an increase of $4,000 head over last
Monday. Such an enormous amount
of livestock under ordinary circum-
stances would have had depressing
effect upon the market, and when the
trainloads Of animals poured into the
yards, stockholders and owners feared
panic. Prices were lowered sharply,
but the market held so we'll that the
packers are preparing to increase
their output. The packers bought
5000 cattle; $4,000 hogs and 10000
sheep during he day. Before night
fall so per cent of these purchases had
been slaughtered.
Further proofs of claims Of the
packers that the difficulties of the
strike are being overcome were fur
nished by the shipment of 500 car
loads Of fresh meats from the stock
yards. OF this number 400 cars were
loaded and shipped by the firms af-
fected by the strike These ship
ments were consigned to all parts Of
the world.
1t was estimated last night that $50
members of the various trades on
strike returned to work Monday. OF
the number who abandoned the fight
many were skilled workers. The
packers claim Mondays desertions
make the total number of strikers who
have returned to work at least 1000.
