CIRCUS RIDERS.
They Earn Good Salaries, but Their
Careers Are Short.

IISJ ~ii wv O~fNA WI
Careers Are Short.
A man horseback rider receives from
SIS to $125 a week, and his career as q
principal rider lasts about ten years. II
Is short not so much because these men
get stiff and lose their agility as be-
cause they lose their nerve. Nearly all
circus folk marry young, and with their
added responsibilities comes a lively
sense of danger which they ignored in
younger days. A man rider who can
not turn q somersault Oh a horse can,
not command more than $50 a week. A
woman rider who can perform this
feat gets from $3.50 to 5000 a week if
she Is a finished rider.
This isn't much when all the disad-
vantages of the calling are taken into
consideration, but it should be remem-
bered that all the expenses are paid,
including the care, feeding and of
course the transportation Of their
horses. All they have to provide is
their own clothing. For the men riders
clothes do not constitute much Of a
factor, and the women nearly always
make their own, except those provided
by the management.

French RAGS High Priced.

A collector of rags offered the man
ager Of a large boarding house a Ger.
tain price for a bag Of wornout linen.
"These rags are worth more than
that" said the shrewd landlord. Il
run several houses in this neighbor-
hood, and all are occupied exclusively
by French guests"
The dealer apparently considered
that remark sufficiently explanatory.
He cast a hasty glance upon the con-
tents Of the bag, then raised the price.
"And he could well afford to raise it,
too" said the landlord. Even at that
rate he will make money off the things.
French rags the world over bring a
higher price than any other. The rea-
son why? French people wear a bet
ter quality Of linen and their castoff
garments are in demand by all manu-
facturers of high grade paper."-New
York Press.

The First Boat.

At first when a man wanted to cross
a deep stream he was compelled to
swim across. But man at best is a
poor swimmer, and it was not long be-
fore he invented a better method Of
travelling ON water. A log drifting in a
stream furnished the hint. By resting
his body upon the log and FLASHING
with his hands and feet he found he
could move along faster and easier.
Thus the log was the first boat and the
human arm was the first oars. E.
Forman in st. Nicholas.

The CONGREGATION Smiled.

Two country clergymen had agreed
to exchange pulpits OF a certain date.
One Of them made the following SOL
m announcement to his congregation
on the Sabbath previous to the event:
my dear brethren and sisters, 1 have
the pleasure of stating that on next
Sunday morning the Rev. Zachariah 3.
Day will preach for you. Let US now
sing two verses of hymn No. 4S9, That
Awful Day VIII Surely Come"
And 1t took him some time to discov-
er why the congregation smiled.

Witty Women.

Women have more wit than humOr.
They are more sensitive than men.
Their minds are nimbler. Their
thoughts fash instantly to an intuitive
conclusion; hence wit is far more nat
ural to them. They have hardly the
intellectual patience to create or enjoy
the less obvious and more deliberate
moods of humor.-Munsey's Magazine.

 Our colored mans daughter was in the yard one day killing a chicken. An lAlastian came in and asked if she knew "how to kill a chicken so it wuold not flutter," Upon her replying in the ngative, he took the axe, first making cross, and the fowl certain ly did not flutter He said anybody could do this, but I notice neither of my helpers will try it, although I have begged them to- I thing they are the girl she could reveal the charm to a man, but If she communicated It to woman neither of them could work it "a man may tell woman or vice versa Later on clerymans wife told the Alastian had showed her girl the same charm. I have positive knowl- edge of this man having been sent for to cure and also for to "dram out fire'' i where people had been burned.
 My first personal encounter with the mysterious was about eight years ago, when after a prolonged illness my hair started to fall out alarmingly. Some one said sage tea and alcohol. My neighbor is the possessor of a luxuriant sage bush, Of her I begged some sage and made the decotion whose virtues, by the way I can indorse. Some time afterward I was mortified to learn that if at any time that particular sage bush died my hair would all fall out,

 The matter of arranging for the en- larged detective quarters which are much needed is not an easy one.

 The board received letter from Cor oner Mix in which he expressed his ap- preciation of services performed by Officers John H. Moore and James IT. Kennedy.

WEDDING PROCESSION IN coREA


 When the Bride-Elect of the Grown Prince Passed Through the Streets of Seoul.
 A magnificent blaze of color was the impression which we first receiv- ed of the procession of the bride-elect of the Crown Prince to the palace. We expected larger procession than we saw but our disappointment was more than alleviated by the splendor of the procession and the populace. Greens, yellows, pinks and blues, all in striking contrast and likely to be bizarre, formed themselves into a truly delicate harmony.
 The procession passed up the big street at about o'clock. The first to come were number of female ser wants of the bride. They were mostly old women and their march was something to be seen. Following them came a number of palace "glsang,' each one clad georgeously and every lone carrying a pink parasol. Later came the state chairs of the bride; lthere were two of, them and the bride was in the second one Meanwhile squads of soldiers were marching up either side of the streets, and as the chair of the future Empress of Corea tpassed through the crowd stood back Ito make room.
 Following the chair of the bride were many officials all on horseback.
 The colors were glorious, but the procession could not have been more than a quarter of a mile long, which lis disappointment when we remem- Der the interminability of funeral procession.
 At 5 o'clock the foreign representa- tives were received in audience. The Belgian Consul General M. Vincart the Doyen of the Consular Corps, de- Ilivered a congratulatory speech. Gen" eral Hasegawn stood near the Elm peror and looked fierce, Subsequently, there was a soriee at the smaller pa Ilaee at which all the foreign repres' Ienttives and their foreign subordinates and General Hasegawa's coaehmar attended.

A plan for new detective quarters was submitted to the inspection of the po- lice board last night, The plan is to make three rooms extending along the Court street side and back from the front windows in the large room now occupied by the patrolmen as quarters.
 The room which will be made next to the main entrance to the building will be used by Captain Henry D. Cowles as a private office. Next to this will be the room occupied by the detec- tives and beyond this will be storage room and possibly a cell, The room will occupy only a small part of the large room, L. ".
