is authority for the story that real
society" has received a terrible shock.
The Princess of Wales is having her
only daughter taught to ride astride!
While a few daring women have had
the courage of their convictions and
have ridden astride in England, they
have never been regarded as in good
FORM it seems. The practice has been
looked upon as not exactly immoral,
but unusual, like asking for more
soup. Now that the Princess of Wales
has set her seal of approval on the
eminently sensible manner of riding,
and has reinforced it with her opinion
that the method is better for women, it
may safely be expected that the
naughty British matron will come into
camp.

1T is untrue that contract labor here
was slavery, that charge having been
officially refuted in documents issued by
the United States Government Add

But the penal enforcement of labor
contracts contained the very essence of
slavery and came to an end in Hawaii,
simply because it was in conflict with
the Thirteenth Amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States, the
amendment that abolished slavery in
the United States.

up, and stomach hanging down like
a pillow, his watch dangling about a
foot down towards the ring, and the
horse came around the ring again and
as he went under pa, pa tried to get
his feet on the horses back, but he
couldn't make it work. and pa said,
as cross as could be: "Lookahere. you
f%ellers, you let me down, or | will dis
charge every mothers son of you"
But they didn't seem to be scared
for one nan caught the horse and let it
out of the ring, and the mar who
handled the rope tied it to the center
pole by a half hitch, and the fellows
all went into the d~ressing-room to
play cinch on the trunks, leaving pa
hanging there. Just then the boss
canvasman came along, and he said:
Hello, old man, what you doing up
there" and pa said some of the pi-
rates in the show had kidnapped him.
and seemed to be holding him up
for a ransom, and he said he would
give ten dollars if some one would let
him down.
The boss canvasman said he could fix it
for ten, all right, and he blew a whistle,
and the gang came back, and the loss
said: Bring a blanket and help this
gentleman down." so they brought a
big piece of canvas, with handles all
around 1t, and about a dozen fellows
held it, and the rope mar let pa down
on the canvas, and unhitched the ring.
and when pa was in the canvas he
laughed and said: Thanks, gentle
men, l guess l am not much of a
horseback rider" and then the fellows
pulled on the handles of the canvas,
and by gosh, pa shot up into the air
halfway to the top of the tent, and
when he came down they caught him
in the canvas and tossed him up a
whole lot of times, until pa said: 20

are all stiffened up by being out Of
practice. One man rode around a
few times, and pa got up close to the
ring, and vas making some comments,
such as: why, any condemned fool
could ride a horse that way when the
circus gang as quick as you could say
scat, fastened a belt around pas stom-
ach, that had a ring in it, and before
he knew it they had hitched a snap
in the ring, and pa was hauled up as
high as the horse, and his feet rested
on the horses back, and the horse
started on a gallop.
Well, say, pa vas never so surprised
in his life, but he dug his heels into
the horses back, and tried to look
pleasant, and the horse went half way
around the ring, and just as pa was
getting confidence, some n hit the
horse on the ham with a piece of
board, and the horse went out from
under pa and he began to fall over
backwards, and l thought his circus
career would end right there, when
