ABANDON THEIR. CID CUSTOM
Peruvian Women Replace somber
Headgesr with Colors.

AS the visitors from the American
feet went about In Lima, one change,
national In character, impressed Itself
upon them Immediately. Every writer
on Peru has commented on the fact
that the headdress OF the women, worn
universally, is the black manta, 1t is
said that it is relic that has come
down from the Incas when they put on
mourning for their great chief Atahu-
alpa- Rich and poor have worn that
headdress on the street for centuries.
It was an established institution.
Well, 1t is going. About one-half OF
the women, some Of them in good cir
cumstances evidently, wore mantas on
the streets, but as for the rest-well,
q man has no business to write about
women's hats. All that this man can
say Ia that he never saw more daz-
zling specimens Of flower gardens
than those bobbing around over the
graceful drapery with which the Peru
Wan women adorn themselves.
Thus does fashion war successfully
upon established custom. The Peru
Wan woman loves a beautiful hat just
"a much as any other woman on earth.
Moreover, what is said about her sur
passing beauty is true. Given great
beauty and the love of hat on the
part OF woman-what chance has a
black manta got? The manta has got
to go and is going. Truly this is a
world CT change and there are those
who will say 1t is one of decay, but
let no one breathe that in fashion

BELIEVES IN WoMEN's CLUBS.
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe Thinks Them
Power for Good.

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, now almost
nonagenarian, is still moved by
living enthusiasm for the cause she
has so long supported. To young
southern writer who was introduced
to her in Boston last year Mrs. Howe,
after due exchange of conversation,
said: "And now, my dear, go home
and start little club for women; any
kind of little club, but make them
meet and read and talk. That is what l
did. / can't tell you how many little
clubs I've started In my day" One
can easily realize what godsend to
dull and shut-in lives Mrs. Howe's
clubs may have been half century
ago, when the outlets to women's
lives we're fewer than they are now.
Clubs nowadays, however, are accused
Of drawing women away from more
serious and worthy pursuits than they
can furnish them.

The BAREBACK RIDERS
Kings and Queens Of the Profession
With Cole Brothers Circus

The career of bareback rider with
circus is limited to about ten years.
1t is short not so much because these
men and women become stiff and lose
their agility, but for the reason that
they lose their nerve. The tension and
application is so strained and marked
that 1t is but few riders who are able
to perform their startling feats for
more than a decade.
With Cole Brothers World Toured
Shows which will be In Bennington
on Friday there are gathered together
positively the most representative
group of bareback riders that lovers
of circus performances could see
were they to visit every show on the
road. These riders are we'll paid, ma.
jority Of them commanding from $3.50
to $3.50 per week. When the fact that
their entire expense account Is assum-
ed by the management is considered,
this figure seems rather high, but the
management of Cole Brothers circus
is ever on the alert for the brightest
and best in the amusement world and
these salaries while not fancy. are
commensurate with the work which
is expected, and which, further more,
is obtained
Bareback riders, as we'll as other
performers, always appear in the
street parade and this pageant, a mile
long, is one of the features of every
circus day. The free exhibitions are
never missed or postponed on some
unseemly or trifiling pretext and teh re
suit is that Cole Brothers circus is
received with widespread enthusiasm
and appreciation wherever 1t Is an
nounced to appear.

FIRE IN sHAFTsBuRY
Barn on Farm Of Frank BroWnson
Burned Early This Morning.


About 2 o'clock this morning the
barn on the old BrownsOn farm In
SALISBURY owned by Frank Brownson
was discovered to be on fire and in a
short time burned to the ground.
From the burning barn the fire was
transmitted to a cornbam nearby and
a slaughter house all of which were
destroyed.
The buildings were OH the old
Brownson homestead. The house was
DESTROYED some years age but the
farm has been carried on by Frank
Brownson in connection with the ad-
joining place on which he lives.
The barn was large roomy struc-
ture with stable underneath and was
In good condition as were also the
Otter two buildings. There was but
little hay in the barn at the time OF
the fire.
The barn itself was insured for
$3.50 and the other buildings for $75
each.
How the fire could have caught at
that time of night is a mystery. No
member of the family had been on the
premises during the evening and the
natural presumption is that the build
ing had been used as a resort by
tramps who accidentally started q
blaze while cooking or while smoking
In the hay.

HOG FEEDING NOTES.

Meat meal and tankaee of similar
chemical composition are almost equal
pound for pound, to corn ration for
fattening hogs.
The hogs fed meat meal and tankage
as ten per cent. of their ration with
corn required 40 pounds of this nitro
genous concentrate for each 100
pounds gained
A ration composed of corn with
either meat meal or tankage produced
from 70 to 40 per cent faster gains
on quite mature hogs. In every case
the number of pounds offered re-
quired per 100 pounds gain was de-
cidsdly less with a mixed ration.
ration of one-half corn and one
half shorts produced greater gains
with less feed per ten pounds gain
than a ration OF two-thirds corn and
one.third shorts.
ration composed Of corn two parts
barley one part, and shorts one part,
produced 100 pounds gain at fully as
low cost as the ration containing
meat meal or tankage in conjunction
with corn.
Barley is therefore an economical
feed when fed combined with corn and

How I Cured sweeny and Fistula.


Il want to tell you how saved one
OF our horses that had a fistula. We
had the horse doctor out and he said
1t was so bad that he did not think he
could cure it, and did not come again.
Then we tried Sloan's Liniment and
1t cured it up nicely.
"One day last spring was blowing
for a neighbor who had a horse with
sweeny, and told him about Sloan's
Liniment and he had me get a bottle
for him, and it cured his horse all
right, and he goes off now like a colt.
I'VE had a horse that had sweeny
awfully bad and we thought it was
never going to be any good, but we
used Sloan's Liniment and it cured it
up nicely. I told another neighbor
about it and he said it was the best
Liniment he ever used.
I'VE are using Sloan's Sure Collie
Cure and we think it is all right"
