 It's nothing to stop a runaway" h said as he wiped his foam covered hands. Tt is like jumping on or off moving car-dead easy when you kno7 how. What you want to do when yo' see a runaway tearing toward you i not to stand still, but to run all yon might in the same way the nag's az ing. Then, when it catches up to yor you grab the bride and keep a-ruu ming. Then you are not thrown, yo are not trampled on, and in a minu, or two the horse slows down.

Russia's Great Library.

One or the prouaeSt monuments tu the memory of that benevolent despot, Peter the Great is the imperial Ii brary of Russia established by him in TIA. Present ranking places it third among the worlds great libraries, pre-. ceded only by the National library at Paris and that of the British museum. at London. It contains a million and q half volumes and 26,00O manuscripts The most important accession it ever received was probably at the time of the suppression of the Society of Jesus In Russia, when most of the Jesuit collections were transferred to the i'm perial library. Among them was the famous collection of Count Zaluski, consisting of 100000 volumes and TO-. OOO manuscripts, which had been in. stalled at the Jesuit college in Warsaw. The most important manuscript in the library is the "Codex Sinaiticus" of the Greek Bible, brought to Russia by Pro- lessor Tischendorf in 1859 from the Convent of St Catharlne on Mount Sinai.-New York Tribune

GREAT LIVE
 STOCK SHOW

Kansas City, Mo-. Oct. 14.-The American Royal, the great live stocK show of the Southwest, opened today at the Kansas City stockyards and will continue through the week. Breeders of thoroughbred cattle, horses, sheep, swine and goats III all parts of the country are represented by the entries, which include many of the first prize winners at state and interstate fairs. The number or entries is far in excess of any pre- vious American Royal, and in some sections the exhibits are far more
 numerous than at any live stock show ever held in the United States In the cattle department, the entries of Herefords, Shorthorns, Angus and Galloways are specially notable, and comprise the finest exhibition of blooded cattle ever seen. The carload lot show of purebred fat cattle has also attracted great deal of atten- tion among the stock faisers of the Southwest and the entries are num- erous and the competition keen.
 The national associations of the breeders of Poland China, Duroc Jer- sey, Chester White and Berkshire swine have joined with the promoters of the American Royal in collecting for exhibition an unprecendented dis play of thoroughbred hogs. The sheepgrowers of this and other coun- tries are largely represented, fea- ture of this section being the cham pion Shropshire sheep of the English Royal show, held in England last June. The National Angora Goat eXhi- bition is being held in connection with the American Royal, in charge of John w. Fulton of Helena, Mont.
 All of the leading breeds of draft horses are on exhibition in large numbers, and among them are Arm- ours famous siX-horse team of draft grays. which were shown at the in- ternational horse fair in the Olym- pia. London, this summer. Missouri's supremacy as the center of the mule breeding industry is sustained by the exceptionally large number of fine animals shown in this department.
 In addition to the live stock show proper, many additional attractions have been arranged for the week, and the crowds of stockmen in attendance promise to surpass all previous rec ords.
