First Bareback Rider.

Riding on a broad pad strapped on
horses back is very old; bareback
riding is comparatively new. 1t was

July, that Il. b. Washburne's circus,
playing in Boston, was packed to suf-
location by the announcement spread
broadcast. that, on that particular
day, for the first time in the history
of the world, man would ride three
times around the ring standing up
right on the bare back OF galloping
horse! The rider, Robert Almar, ao-
tually accomplished this feat, and
also he carried an American flag,
which he waved uncertainty, thereby
arousiDg tremendous enthusiasm. Con.

New Fire Escape Device.

Fire experts abroad are much inter-
ested in a newly-invented fire escape
for buildings which is being brought
out by n Vienna manufacturer It
consists of series of folding iron
ladders, contained in frames, attached
to the window easements, each reach
ing to the window below. by merely
turning q small winch on any floor
all these frames are pushed outward
from the buildings, the ladders ex-
tended and securely connected with
each other, thus forming n continuous
communication from the top floor to
the ground. The manipulation is ex-
tremely simple and occupies less than
minute. When not in use the es-
cape is barely visible and does not
disfigure the facade of the building in
the manner that the ardinary outside
iron staircase does. A public test Of
the new escape, which is the inven-
tion OF n Swiss engineer named
Scherrer, proved highly successful,
and the Vienna fire brigade represen-
tatives present expressed their entire
approval of it-PhiIadelpbia Record.

ARMY TO CUT STRENUOUS LIFE
Practice Marches on the Program Are
to Be CurtaiIed

The war department is giving con-
sideration to modification of the or
der OF last year with reference to
practice marches. Troops under or
ders for foreign service will be ex.
cused from such marches for three
months prior to their departure from
this country. More than this, some
orders are looked for before long
which will curtail the amount of
practice marching required of the
army.
lmpartially considered, the expect
ed modification of the orders which
will require less practice marching
seems TO indicate a disposition on the
part OF the army not to lead the
strenuous life to any greater degree
than is absolutely necessary. Pres
ident Roosevelt wants practice march.

All manner of objections to prac-
tice marches have been raised by
some of the officers. Certain officers
think there should be no practice
marches at all. They indicate in
their reports on the subject that 1t is
too much of hardship A favorite
argument against the practice march
is that 1t is distasteful to the men,
and tends to promote assertions.
The president will not permit en-
tire adjustment of the practice
march. He is convinced that it is
valuable; that it tends to keep the
soldier in good condition physically;
that 1t teaches the men to care for
themselves under conditions of real
campaigning, and that 1t is of value
to officers in training them in the
matter of how to take care of their

employees and only 1000 passengers.
Mr.. Lewis quoted from President

said that hundreds of idle men infest

to secrete themselves on every train
