Ladies Who Come Under the Caption
of Equestrjennes in Wallace Circus.

of Equestrjennes in Wallace Circus.
Whether the spectator be a lass
from the farm or a belle from the So
:ial set, she is sure TO admire the lady
performers with the Great Wallace
Shows. which will exhibit in this city
June 8. In the circus ring is one place
where woman has an equal chance
with her male companion. AS rule.
she draws a higher salary, receives the
greater applause and more commenda-
lions from the management than does
the male performer. Notwithstanding
their high salaries and the scarcity of
performers worthy of being featured
with a show of the magnitude of the
Great Wallace Show, probably more
lady performers can be seen with that
show than with any other six shows.
At the head of the large number
stands beautiful Winnie Sweeney, one
of the half score acrobatic equestri-
ennes who have attained prominence
as a bareback rider. Her routine. or
repertoire of feats and evolutions is so
varied that she can completely change
her act at every performance for days
at a time In all she does there is
laught that is commonplace. She
scorns the ordinary and abhors the
conventional. In the vernacular. she
begins where the others leave off, and
ends with an unapproachable achieve
ment of acrobatic agility that is appar-
emily unattainable and past belief, UNI
less seen with ones own eyes. Emma
Stiekney, Blanche Reed, May St. Leon.
Olga Reid, Marie Miers, Queenie Nor
ris and Minnie Dupont are also among
the Wallace lady equestriennes this
year.

Over 800 boxes are served by the car

There is no route in Illinois that de-

With the development Of farm ma
chinery there has come a demand Tor
a faster walking team, on the road
and in the field, than can be obtained
by the use Of oxen. Horses can stand
the work Of plow or harrow in warm
weather better than oxen, are more
convenient to drive and are generally
better handled by such hired help as
are usually employed upon farms.

a pair of horses necessary to work his
sixty-acre farm properly. Stll, oxen
are very useful upon farms today and
may be made a source of profit as
well as being useful for much work
that Will relieve the horses. They
will save the horses time by dra wing
manure while they are busy on the
burrows. by drawing hay while the
horses are moving. raking or teddng
and in many other ways that will sug-
gest themselves during every season
of the farm work. The outfit for
an OK team is very inexpensive, consist
Ing only OF yoke. stout pole In the
farm cart and a few chains.
Oxen should always be broken to
wear a yoke. The breaking Tor handy
ing) should te done while they are
young. Farmer boys usually enjoy
such work and can do 1t better than
men. Oxen are readily shod for road
work by any blacksmith who has the
necessary apparatus. They are con-
fined In slings, one foot at time IL
drawn onto a short post and securely
fastened, when the shoes are fitted
and nailed. A shoe IL made for each
side of the hoof, making eight shoes
worn by every OK. The Herefords

ular in New England, although the

designed for oxen should be castrated

operation should be performed by some
one who thoroughly understands IT.

had successful experience In the work

Every farmer should have q supply
of ice. There are but few localities
where ice cannot be obtained with but
a short haul
An expensive house is not necessary,
ms all that is required is a building
with sides and roof, situated on ground
well drained.
The blocks Of ice should be cut of
q uniform size with smooth edges. so
that they will back closely. The best
tool to cut ice for small houses is a
cross-cut saw with one handle re-
moved.
There should be no floor under the
Ice. A thin coat of sawdust or chaff
should be spread on the ground and
the ice packed in even layers. leaving
a space of a foot all around. which
should be packed full with sawdust
or chaff.
To keep well the ice should be at
least eight feet deep, exclusive of n
foot or more of sawdust or chaff. which
should cover 1t.
Plenty of ventilation should be fur.

too free circulation Of air
In taking out the Ice. care must be
taken not to dig out holes in the ice
but commence at one side or corner
and remove a cake at time until n
whole layer is taken out, and at all
times see that the ice is well covered
When neighbors are close together
IT is an excellent Dl1n for several ia

What ls Charm.

Charm has no age limit. There is
charm of the maiden in her teens
and twenties. q charm Of the matron
in her forties, charm Of the beau
tiful old age that has lost no grace
with the beauty of silver hair.
Charm does not depend on looks.
1t inheres in personality. A very
plain woman may have more of It
than a beauty, and may outshine the
latter in consequence.
Charm is almost indefinable. 1t is
as subtle as a perfume, as elusive as
remembered music.
Good breeding has undoubtedly
much to do with the preservation of
charm. A woman whose social train
ing is perfect will not hurt the amour
propre of a friend.
Let Il woman be ever SO much the
great lady, let her be as charitable
as st. Elizabeth and as pious as st.
Theresa, If she have the clumsy
with uncalled for candor, she will in
wade peoples vanity and her charm
will be destroyed.
Good she may be, unselfish, altruis-
tic. and clever, too, but not charm
ing. Wound anything rather than
the vanity of an acquaintance, If you
hope to be forgiven.
An essential quality in good breed
ing is that it may be sincere without
being brutal, and just without being
implacablc. Flawless politeness and
intuitive comprehension of others,
swift sympathy. and bright, flashing
humor, go far to make up feminine
charm.
Another element of womanly charm
is genuine interest in people. Nobody
is charming who sits aloft on height
and looks down on the multitude.
10 be charming one must be mag
netic and spontaneous; must have
friendships with working women and
| toiling men, must in short have a real
talent for discovering good in every
body and everything. No woman will
ever retain charm beyond youth who
has not Imagination and love. A good
deal of emotional temperament goes
to the making of Margaret j.
Sangster.

Bad Company.

A Glasgow holiday-maker was
brought up on a charge of drunk and
disorderly, says the Birmingham Post.
What have you got to say for your
self" said the magistrate. you look
respectable and ought to be ashamed
to stand there"
"lm vera sorry, sir, but l came up
in bad company from Glesca," humbly
replied the prisoner.
What sort Of company"
"a lot of teetotalers," was the
startling response.
What, sir!" cried the bailie "a tee
tOtaler) in rage "do you mean to say
that abstainers are bad company? ]
think they arc the best of company for
such as you. sir"
"Beggin' your pardon" answered the
prisoner, "ye-re wrang, for had a hale
mutchkin of whusky an had to drink
1t a. miself."

must be indulged and humored and
all their whims gratified at any sac
rifice. Why, only the other day 4
music teacher was telling that she
had asked a 10-year-old pupil to
change her lesson hour on a certain
day for her-the teacher's-great con-
venience. The child bluntly refused,
alleging that at half past she had
just started to play and it spoiled
everything to stop! And the mother
sustained the child, saying. Dear
Marie is so happy in her play!" So
the teacher must lose days much
needed recreation and pleasure b.
cause a child's play mustn't be inter.
fered with!
Then. too, do we not lay too much
stress on what is doubtless a great
truth-heredity? No doubt children
inherit tendencies to faults from their
parents. But it doesn't seem as il
the fact justifies an apologetic atti-
tude from parents toward child. Be-
cause we recognize that child has
inherited temper or nervousness or
sullenness from us it is no valid rea-
son why we should ignore the fault
and let it pass unchallenged. We owe
him great deal of patience, 1t is
| true; but we haven't a right to over
look the fault and let it strengthen
with his development, instead of help
ing him from the very outset to gain
the self-control that is the most i'm
portant of his life sessions.
No child was ever harmed by being
taught to obey, and by occasionally
coming up against" rules and laws
and learning that they must be re-
spected. He is best served by being
allowed to develop simply and health
fully, with a due regard for otlel
peoples rights and not too much in
sistence on his own: not too much
guided and controlled, but gaining in
self-governmerft. and by contact with
the unfamiliar. 1t is, of course. much
easier to conduct family discipline
along the line of least resistance and
let the children do pretty much as
they please, but it develops a genera
tion of aw-breakers-weak, selfish and
self f-indulgent individuals, who have
neither courage nor strength to do
right for rights sake.
