TRIAL OF STEVE ADAMS.

Wallace. Idaho, Feb. 13.-The great
legal battle for the life of Steve Adams
has begun here. On one side are the
forces of the state, seeking Adams
conviction, the first step toward con-
victing the leaders of the Western
Federation of Miners who are charged
with the assassination of former Gov
ernor Frank Steunenberg of Idaho;
on the other is the powerful Fedora
ton, declaring the charges are false
and an attempt by the mine owners
to break up the union.
The crime charged against Steve
Adams is the murder of Fred Tyler,
a settler. who disappeared from his
timber claim on Marble Creek about
August 10. 1904, and whose body was
found later.

Side Saddle Question
Is Up to the Women
Which One Shall They Use This Summer Interesting

This Subject. ,

the crutch will sometimes prevent
this.
Another disadvantage of the side
saddle is the loss OF some control by
not having leg on the of side to
keep horse straight at his fences
and prevent him from swerving
Some horses will turn to one side, or
try to swerve away at q fence, and
then perhaps jump it sideways.
Here man with the advantage of a
leg on each side will score easily.
Flat racing or steepleckasing
would be dangerous on side saddle,
as most courses are right handed.
therefore the weight to start with,
would be on the wrong side, while
the effort of turning corners at full
speed, even If one succeeded in do
ing it, would be likely to strain one
badly, If it did nothing worse.
The objection that most men bring
against women riding astride is that
it is physically impossible for them
to have the necessary grip. As a
matter of fact, there are many men
who ride a great deal more by bal
ance than by grip, and to attain this
grip would be simply done by devel-
oping one set of muscles, which
practice would strengthen into shape.
Riding astride, will, imagine never
become fashionable, for the simple
reason that it is only suitable for wo-
men with slight, we'll made figures,
and they are distinctly in the minority.
1t is also doubtful If many women
would ever be strong enough in the
saddle to stand a hard days work
across country.
But for exercising, riding to an from
the meets, or simply riding for pleas
ure, there can be no earthly reason
why ladies should not ride astride.
1t is great rest after a side saddle,
and If ladies ride well and are nearly
turned out they need not mind hurt
ing the feelings of the public.
There are two faults common in con-
nection with side saddle. Ladies Of
ten sit too much over on the near side,
thus putting lot of dead weight on
the stirrup-a patent for giving sore
backs. They have a way of letting
their left foot curl and dig into the
horses ribs. This usually happens
when galloping down hill or landing
over a fence. On these occasions the
left foot should be more forward than
usual, bringing the left leg into firm
contact with the lower crutch.
Unless horses are used to being
tickled in the ribs they are apt to
show signs of resentment, and lady
in her fright unconsciously digs her
heel in all the harder, and wonders
what possesses the horse.
remember dealer asking me to
ride beautiful horse that had just
been sold to lady, When I was in
the saddle, he requested me to canter
and gallop it round field, kicking
and tickling it with my left heel all
over its ribs, for as he told me, the
horse had perfect manners, but it was
not accustomed to a bad rider.
Most children are now taught to
ride astride, and girls should not be
allowed to ride in side saddle for
any length of time until they have
stopped growing.
In conclusion, while there are many
points for and against a side saddle,
the most sensible thing is to be able
to ride in either side saddle or astride
as occasion demands

THE LAST OF THE sHoGUNs.

Referring to the presence of Prince
Tokugawa Keiki. the ex-shogun, at
the garden party given by Count
Okuma TO celebrate the completion of
his history of modern Japan, the ia
pan Times writes as follows;
Two years on the right side of the
allotted three score and ten, age has
shrunk the ex-shogun into diminu-
tive man, but the square set jaw and
bright eyes and the air of serene, I'm
assailable dignity with which he sat,
made one see in fancy the feuda1 days
when he was In power as the lord of
lords. the de facto ruler of the coun-
try. Then IT was a capital crime for
ordinary folk to look the Shotgun in
the face, to say nothing Of the Empe-
ror His viii was law, his voice thun-
der. That was less than fifty years
ago. Now he sits side by side with
ordinary people, though yet highest in
Court rank attainable by a subject,
How vast is the change! Then the
thought so eloquently expressed by
Count Okuma revolution without
madness. The Prince, indeed, stands
an emblem to the genius Of japanese
