Much Care Taken In the Drilling Of
Cavalry Horses.

Cavalry chargers vary from is to
16 hands in height, and sharp rules
have been laid down about their
shape, action and treatment. There
are regular schools where the raw
four-legged recruit is trained, and his
education embraces the fearless
swimming of deep and wide rivers,
where possibly the enemy have de-
stroyed the bridges. II is extremely

CHAOS IN A FERRY HOUSE.

A big crowd was waiting In the st.

ONE OF WoMENs CHARMS.
Sense Of Reserve Said to Add Much
to Attractiveness.

A woman, especially to be attractive,
must preserve a sense of reserve; she
must, so to speak, keep up a certain
G1:ount of mystery about herself.
There is a folklore tale Of a woman
who, finding he9 married life unhappy,
went to a white witch for a charm
against TIE trouble. She received a
flask f,sl y n a eolorlcss liquid
which she was directed to take and
hold in her mouth whenever she was

She chr ycI directions, and, delighted
With tl-e eject Of the charm, went
back to the witch for a fresh supply
when that was exhausted. The liquid
was merely water" said the wise
wunzn. The virtue of the remedy
consists simply in holding your tongue
in keeping back angry answers" To
adopt the rule, says Woman's Life,
once given to a gushing girl by
friend who knew the world, Never
sneak of yourself. and never say any

first seem likely to make Trappists of

was not wise. There always are peo-

'izations, from members who are 'ex- tremists, says the Duluth News-Tribune. They are like dynamite and require the most careful handling if they are to do good, ana are otherwise merely agents of destruction.
 But the unions have their full pro- portion of level.headed men who take the broader view and never were they more needed than in these days of la bor's greatest prosperity and power. One of these same men is Herman Rob inson, who at the monster meeting of the New York unions this last week, which was called to act upon President Roosevelt s undesirable citizens" let ter, presented the position of the moder ates. 44. t
 Mir. Robinson said: "Don't be car ried away by hysteria or excitement, but be level.hoaded, Let ps act as if we were in our proper senses. Organ ized labor will demand fair trial for Mover and Haywood, but don't create the idea that organized labor is up in arms against President Roosevelt. The original letter in reference to- Mover and Haywood was a privileged commu nieation and was never intended for publication. The second letter was not directed to labor organization, but to a political association. The man in Chicago to whom the president sent the letter has been expelled from the ranks of labor for using it's name.
 ''It is our duty as labor men to show our respect for President Roosevelt. Do not let us place ourselves in the position of being made laughing stock in the community. We can show sympathy for Mover and Haywood, but at the same time remain self,respecting citi. zens. ."
 This is the sensible and moderate view and the one that will win as labor resumes its normal temper. There is no occasion for brainstorm over this matter at any time, for labor as well as capital must realize that the great mass of the people is outside their or. ganized ranks, and as judge and jury will find as the equities are developed.

BRYAN's LATEST BRAINsToRM

Democrats who have been schooling themselves to overlook Mir. Bryan E eceentricities and accept him as a party leader will read with dismay his ad. vice to Democrats and the party news papers to accept Mir. Hearst and the Independence League as allies, he al- leging as reason that "we" (the Democratic party and MT. Hearst) "are going in the same direction, even though we march under different ban. ners." If MT. Bryan is right in this assertion, then the end of the Demo cratic party is not hard to foresee, and self-respecting Democrats should lose no time in leaving the once grand old party ship that is drifting far out of it's course to certain destruction on the rocks of political heresy.
 There are many who will admit that there is marked similarity between MT. Bryan and MT. Hearst in the calamit- ous influences exerted by both of them on the Democratic party, they being chiefly responsible for it's defeat and disruption. It is folly for the Demo cratic party to longer consider Bryan as an available candidate for the presi. dency in view of his advocacy of pol icies that are irreconcilable with Demo- { cratic principles. Since his return from Europe MT. Bryan has declared for pub lie ownership and the initiative and ref erendum, neither of which are in &C., cord with Democratic teachings, and now he asks the party to accept Hearst and his Independence League, which he organized to defeat the Democratic party.
 In view of MT. Bryan s recent utter anees it would be equally consistent in him to advocate the acceptance of Rooseveltian doctrines, which he has acclaimed as his own principles and that Democratic papers should treat the federal administration party as Gan ally rather than as an enemy" for it IS making bigger and prettier bluff toward "going in the same direction, though under different banner" than is Hearst and his quasi-socialistic In. dependence League.
