Nature Her One Great Passion.

Mature is my one great passion. I
always prefer what is most natural In
animals or people. Not but that love
to see Eastern girls riding so easily
and smoothly through the parks
in their riding habits. But it seems
10 me that there is the same diff
ference between these two styles of
riding that there Is between natural
dancing and ballroom dancing
THE first comes spontaneously TO the
rider or the dancer as the means of
expressing the exuberance of being
alive. The second is the fruit of care

Owns Famous Racer sOnOma Girl.

T ESS than q week ago Lolita
bought the famous Sonoma Girl
for $4,000 Twice she saw her
beaten in fair races, but It
didn't worry her a bit-that is, the
public was not permitted 10 see that
1t did. The art OF the actress may
have had something 20 DO with the
suppression Of her emotions. When
her horse had failed to make even a
tair showing IN the stake race that
meant thousands of dollars to her,
Lolita stepped from her automobile,
walked over % the track and in sight
Of the crowd that filed the grand
Stand and lined tho rail, stroked the
sleek neck OF the winner and stood at
his side until the aoral piece had been
placed about his neck.
Then, smiling and apparently OBJ
livious TO her surroundings, she in
cliDed her head and breathed the
sweetness Of the flowers. Some said It
was acting; Il Il was. it was very
neatly done. rhe crowd cheered her
quite as much as Il did the winner.
Lolita viii not admit that she owns
more than two raceborses-SonOmo
Girl and Ny Star-but there are twenty
racers IN the Crabtree stables.

CAUGHT IN THIEF TRAP,
HE SUES FOR DAMAGES

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 20.-A bungled "Sher-
lock Holmes stunt Of United Railways
foreman, who was overzealous to catch
thieves who had been pilfering the car
sheds at Compton and Laclede avenues
year ago by charging a bucket Of
nails and leaving it for the thieves to
touch and lie shocked or possibly killed,
may cost the United Railways $4,000 If
the suit of Edward Dunphy. car
cleaner. is sustained by jury in the cir
cult court.
In his petition Dunphy claims that
about year ago he was attending to
his duties in the carsheds when he no.
ticed the bucket of nails standing where
1t did not belong. He started to move
the bucket to the proper position in the
sheds and received the shock that was
intended for the hoodlums that had been
carrying off copper wire, nails and other
valuable property of the company.
He was rendered unconscious for many
hours, and he asserts that as a result of
the novel thief catching device. his mem
ory, eyesight, and hearing haYe been per-
manently impaired and he will never
again be able to earn a living Dunphy
says that he was not properly warned
that the nails had been charged with
electricity as he should have been before
he started to work.
