Origin of the sidesaddIc,

The use Of the sidesaddle for women
riders Is traced to the time Of Anne OF
Bohemia, eldest daughter Of the en-
peror of Germany, who married Rich
ard III. Of England. Previous to this
date all Enslishwomen bestrode their
horses man fashion, but on account %
a deformity this German bride was
forced to use sdesaddle, and the GUS
tom became general.

Capture Of Betsy.
Betsy has year by year become
more and more daring, and more
beautiful A few months ago she be-
came extremely bold in her sales OF
whisky, going to and from the stills,
sometimes alone, and sometimes with
male companions. Finally the state
authorities decided it was time to
stop her, so they sent three deputy
sheriffs for Betsy. The deputies had
the good fortune to find her on foot,
and very near the South Carolina line,
which she knows perfectly we'll
When she saw the three deputies
coming, she knew they were not her
friends, and made bold dash for the
line. AS a sprinter she Is success,
and her running was like that of the
Grecian girls who competed in the
ancient Olympian games. The dcpu-
ties did not stop to admire, however,
but gave chase and dashed across the
state line, coming up with and taking
hold of the stout and charming Betsy
about hundred yards over in South
Carolina.
Betsy was nearly out of breath
from the run, but had voice enough
left to give signal, which brought
out OF the thick bushes near by five
tough-looking moonshiners, any one
Of whom was ready and willing to
die for Betsy any time. Betsy had II
good-szed revolver slung about her
waist, and very poorly concealed by a
checked apron, but her moonshine
friends made no concealment what
ever of the pistols which they had
in hand and while they fingered
these. they parleyed with the detain
ing deputies, letting them understand
that they were willing to pay cash
for Betsy's appearance in cot" and
that they were "willin' to put up $25

LoNDoN's HUMoR AND FUN
People OF All Classes Are Constantly
Bubbling Over with Light
Bits Of Speech.

Mention has been made OF the gay
and careless nature Of the Partisan.
Has anyone except true-born Lon
doner ever observed the humor and
fun which lie in great masses among
the people of London? w. W. Jacobs
in modern days has depicted some OF
this in special particulars. Dickens,
above all writers, most faithfully por-
trayed many phases OF 1t. Thackeray
has dealt with 1t in a manner not like
ly to be repeated.
But all three authors do not col
lectively make up the mass of Lon
don humor. 1t is everywhere. 1t peeps
out with drivers of public vehicles
who use their horses as friends from
whom to draw inspiration for their
sallies of humor, and one wonders
what will become Of all this when the
horseless vehicle is the universal mode
Of vehicular traction. Surely the man
who turns handle is not the same
as the man who holds the reins ana
can not get out Of electricity and pc
troleum what has been got out OF the
pulsations of horses.
1t comes to us from the railway por-
ters and servants who keep at bay the
troublesome multitude by deftly turn
ing into broad farce events which be-
gin seriously. 1t comes, too, from
hotel and restaurant walters, who see
enough of the grim humors of life to
become an almost endless source OF
inspiration But 1t Is also apparent on
the surface. Butcher boy and baker
boy and shop boy are full of it. They
carry their goods along in happy ig-
norance of the sport they give to those
who can note the humorous in life.
And the costermonger and itinerant
dealer to be met with almost every
where, are special products OF London
who can not fail to attract.
One does not quite meet the counter
parts OF these people in Paris. Those
who take their place there are not so
distinctive and partake more of the
characteristics of the average Partisan.
They send out, therefore, to the OBJ
server OnIy what the average Partisan
sends out, and do not stand apart as
types Of what the city can do in the
way of carrying on the humors OF the
time Some day, perhaps, there will
arise greater humorist in London
who will penetrate what London pro-
duces in this respect, and when this
shall happen London will appear
n a npier and mora oania1 n1ace than ia
commonly supposed.

MARVEL OF ENGINEERING.
Great Smokestack at Butte, Mon
tana, Is Titan Among Tall
Chimneys.

Out at Butte, Mont, where the great
stamping mills and ore-concentrating
works have turned the mountain city
into titanic inferno Of tall chimneys
belching black and sulphurous fumes,
stands one tremendous tower, the top
of which is $50 feet above the ground,
says the Mechanical World
When it's erection was planned the
first idea was to build it of brick. That
would have required thickness of II
or 16 feet Of masonry at its base. But
a construction engineer from Chicago
was called into consultation. He pro-
posed that the huge chimney be built
of concrete and, with some misgivings,
the plan was adopted.
He prepared a foundation SIX feet
deep, 12x12, Of concrete, with a num-
Der of steel reinforcing rods Begin
ming at the ground level, he carried
two thin concrete shells upward for
100 feet. The outer one is only nine
inches IN thickness, while, separated
by four inches OF space from this. is
an inner shell five inches thick. At a
height of 100 feet these two unite into
single seven-inch shell of concrete
which extends skyward until the vast
height of $50 feet is reached.
This chimney, many feet hieher
than our modern city sky scrapers, is
therefore composed of but ii inches of
concrete at the base and half that
amount for the upper $50 feet. It is
not of plain concrete, but is reinforced
both horizontally and vertically with
number Of small steel rods, which
were held in place until the concrete
had been deposited around them, maxi
ing reinforced concrete BODY ST.
perior in every way to both steel AMI
brick masonry There are In the Unit
ed States scores of these wonderful
chimneys.
