WITH COLLAR
 BONE BROKEN
Plucky Miss Della Sticks to
 Act With SansOnia.

With a broken collar bone, Mignon Delila the pretty woman of the team of Sansonia & Delila equilibrists, is performing seemingly impossible feats at PolfS this week. Miss Delila, all though suffering excrucfating pain has pluck and nerve enough to go through with her tasks at each performance. feats is fifteen foot drop from pole to the arms of MT. Sansonia. Nnt- withstanding her injury the nervy lit tie woman accomplished this feat last night.
 The audience on the other side of the footlights little realized the real drama being enacted before their eyes. They saw petite. pretty woman balanc- some fifteen feet in the air the end resting on mans chin. The poe tottered Ewayed and fell and the little woman catapulted down into her part ner'S arms. Last night was the first time Sansonia & Della have tried the catapult fall since Friday of last week, when SanSOnia miscalculated and fail- ed to catch the woman. Miss Delila stunned The curtain was hastily rung down and the injured woman was carried to her dressing room. Physi- clans found fracture of the col ar bone. Miss Delila was obliged to can eel the remaining performances of the week but rravely insisted she would appear in Bridgeport this week.
 On Monday it was problema tical whether the brave little actress could go on with her act somewhat modi- fed. but every feature of the act save the spectacular pole fall was given. Last night after a conference with the management and physicians it was de- cided to try the pole fall again.
 Miss Delila appeared not the least bit nervous.
 "I know I am taking a chance she said, "but I'm a good gambler when it comes to a question of my act" Those on the stage stood in the wings and watched anxtously for the mo- ment when the pole fall feature ap- peared.
 The feat was accomplished with no mishap. hut Miss Della canre off the stage half-fainting at the close of her act. Asked if she would continue to use the poll-fall feature throughout the week Miss Della declared she would go through with her act unless some other accident occurred. The brave little woman is already the chief topic of conversation in the realm of call cium.

Lincoln,s Orderly Mind

Lncoln's mind was orderly, though his methods were not. He neglected details because his thought. which was "as direct as flight" passed instantly to the vital spot. and all else seemed unimportant. If I can free this case from technicalities and get it property swung to the jury I'll win it." he used to say; and this was his mental atti- tude toward all legal questions. He had no training in technicalities as long as the firm of Stuart & Lincoln lasted, and 1t is doubtful if any teaching would have qualified him for attorney work or made him a master of detail. Yet as an office lawyer, such as rules the destinies of our modern corporate in terests. he probably would have been invaluable. His mind comprehended large subjects without the slightest eff fort. Once concentrated on an issue he passed di@ctly to the point, disre- garded the thousand and one contin- gencies, all the academic pros and cons and reduced the problem to It's simplest possible form. - Frederick Trevor Hill in Century.

Street Crowd. In Carac...

One of the features of the city of Ga. racas. Venezuela. that most strongly impresses foreigner is the rapidity with which a crowd gathers in the streets. This is best exemplified when some of the many wandering musi- clans. in whom Caracas abounds. pre- pare to give an impromptu open air concert.

The cobblers and all the other tenants of the entries. having no doors to open or stairs to descend, are on the spot all most instanter.
