as he swung back and Grace jumped
out. She was back in a moment, and
a lesser important member of the
troupe did some single trapeze work

evening" he suggested. 'I'1l be in
front of your boarding house at half
past 10. and III have it all arranged

Before he could get his answer the
girl shot past him, and he was gone
before she had returned. The next
few tricks kept them too busy to talk;
then came a breathing space, and he
urged his cause.
He had to make good use of his
time, for the act was drawing to a

into confusion. He believed an assent

and swung him out on the swing, while
Clute, from the other side, threw Grace
to her father as Galley turned somer-

hands the instant after she left him.
1t was a trick that brought the au-
dience to its feet the year before, and
Galley was proud of it, for it was his
own invention.
The swing was properly made, and
as he threw the somersault he heard
cry below him. 1t was only the one

A WOMAN OF QUICK WIT.
Susan 3. Anthony Never Lacked
Ready Reply.

Few lives so lend themselves to dra-
matte narration as Susan b. Anthony's,
says the Delineator 1t ranged from
tragedy to comedy, with scattered bits
of melodrama, she ever in the center of
the stage With her everything was
always intensely realistic-not acting.
Miss Anthony had peculiar faculty
of condensing a whole speech into a
single sentence. For instance, when
she heard men lamenting that the pro
fession of teacher was not respected as
much as the other professions, do you
not see that so long as society says
woman has not brains enough to be a
doctor, lawyer or minister, but has
plenty to be a teacher, every man OF
you who condescends to teach tacitly
admits before all Israel and the sun
that he has no more brains than a wo-
mann? And when Horace Greeley said
to her at Albany, you know the bal
lot and bullet go together-if you vote,
are you ready to fight?' Instantly she
retorted, Eyes, Mr. Greeley. just as you
fought in the late war-at the point OF
a goose Quill" Again, when she was
talking on divorce and the Rev. A. D.
Mayo, thinking to annihilate her, said,
"You are not married; you have no
business to be discussing marriage,
well. Mr.. Mayo" she answered, you
are not a slave; suppose you quit lee
turing on slayeryw

Louisville. KY, with 80 barrels of

business was done by Rozier. for Au-

did to marketing the 80 barrels OF

partnership. On April II. 1911. Audi

An ENGLISH Turf Tragedy.

Half an hour before the race for the
Two Thousand Guineas of 1888 Prince
Batthyany, who bred st. Simon and
who was one of the most popular rae
ing men of any time, was talking with
Lord Cadogan in the luncheon room of
the Jockey club stand at Newmarket,
when he suddenly reeled and fell.
He was carried to Weatherby's office,
and doctors were summoned, but the
prince was beyond all human aid, and
just before the bell rang for the race
for which his colt, Galliard, brother of
st. Simon, was first favorite he breath
ed his last.
A few minutes later "the clear blue
sky rang with cheers and shouts as the
horses came laundering along, which
rose into roar as Galliard won by a
head" while behind the drawn blinds

which he would almost certainly have
won.-St. James Gazette.

snake bites have followed the applica-

An incision must be made over the
bite, as much of the poison as possible
squeezed out, and then vinegar is to
be injected. If the bite is on a limb a
ligature must be placed above it. Mr..
Greengrass records twenty mine cases
of recovery from cobra bites by such a
use of vinegar. The one failure which
occurred was due to the fact that no
incision had been made over the bite

time into hostel and eventually be-
came an ordinary dwelling house
