THE WOMEN OF THE CIRCUS
THEIR WAYS in THE DRESSING
ROOM A BIG SURPRISE
I'fy TO MANY.

N3'+' w. a WV WV
Not in the life of the woman Of
the circus would one look for the
flower Of domesticity, yet it blooms
there in it's best estate. The devoted
wife, mother, sister and sweetheart
is to be found among the pretty, gaily
dressed women in the pink, blue and
green tights who daze thousands by
their feats Of daring on trapeze, on
the slack wire, bareback riding and
in dozens of other feats that never
fail Of their fascination for the pub
lie.
The woman Of the circus leads a
much more careful life than her sis
ter of the stage, Drink TO her is
rigidly denied. Even of her diet she
must be most critically careful, for
with her a mistake of an inch means
death, and to be in the best physical
condition She must pay the price of
"A life almost ascetc.
The girl who spends the working
hours of her life flying through the
air, 80 feet above the hard tanbark,
being thrown and caught from man
to man or woman to woman for that
matter, cannot take any chances.
She must be right, all nerve, all cool
ness, all condition.
They are genuine women, these
queens Of the circus, once they take
of the spangles, drop their high
sounding titles, and stand in their
street clothes as plain American
girls. For instance, it is told of one
remarkable trapeze artist, who flies
through the air in some of the most
daring Of performances, that she is
always afraid when she is on "a rail
road journey, and that this is the
one feature of the life of the circus
that she fears.
Another who Is notable tight
rope artist and capers and dances
on the slender surface of thin wire,
25 feet above ground, is afraid TO
cross the streets in a crowded city
lest she be run down by street car,
an automobile or a carriage.
They have trained and hardened
muscles, these matchless women
athletes of the sawdust arena. but
their femininity has not calloused;
they are still gentle, kindly women,
the same as their sisters in other
callings OF life
The woman on the bare back Of
a flying horse, the girl making a leap
from one pair of hands TO another
high up in the air there, never let's
herself contemplate peril while in the
midst of the performance, for she
knows that TO do this is to beckon
the approach of the specter OF death.
III she has a qualm she chases it
away by a smile. Many a time the
beautiful smile that comes to the
face of the woman up there on the
bar Of the trapeze is nothing more

WANTED; SOMETHING TO TAX
GEORGIA LEGISLATURE ON HOT
TRAIL OF THE TAX-BEAR-
ING ANIMAL.

ATLANTA.-There is no doubt
that the ways and means committee
of the Georgia legislature is going to
hunt around for every possible source
Of revenue, because the state needs
the money and because the legisla-
ture is said to be inclined to increase
appropriations in certain directions.
The appropriations bill has to be cut
to fit the states income, which can
only be ascertained after the tax bill
is practically agreed upon, so that
the appropriations measure will be
about the last to get through.
The Hunters-PQt and Otherwise.
1t is said the judges of the court
of appeals were considerably disap-
pointed in the failure in the house
last week of the bill to increase their
salaries to . 5000. Their friends in
the house, it is reported, will make
an effort to get reconsideration in
hope OF the attainment of some sub
stantial results, but the indications
are that the house IS not inclined to
increase any salaries at this time, es-
pec!ally when there has been so
much talk about the low ebb of the
state treasury.

NIGHT BASEBALL LEAGUE.
One of Eight Clubs to Be Organized
in Cincinnati,

Baseball by electric light was given
an additional trial the other night at
League park, in Cincinnati, and
proved a greater success than it did
when first attempted in Cincinnati.
An increased battery of lights was
used, and the Shamrock and Avon
dale teams played nine innings of
fast ball.
The Avondales won, Z to 3. Each
SIDE played without error. The i'm
proved lights made the handling of
batted balls easy and accurate. A
crowd of 5000 witnessed the game.
Steps were taken to organize a night
baseball league of eight clubs.

Indications are now that there will
neither be any abolition of the pris-

has been considerabl agitation from
the friends of former Gov. Smith.
nor any reduction in the member

which has been so much talked about
by the Brown element. Members of
the legislature are not concerning
themselves much over either one of
these measures, and the chances are
that neither of them will get through
either house.
The session is half gone, and the
general assembly is just now getting
ready for real business.

intervening years has remained as the
