The Acrobat Artist.

It Is IN the visible expression OF
strength, grace and vitality that the
artist Of the circus holds himself al
one with the painter and sculptor, but
his art, like that Of the actor, is neces.
sarily alive and impermanent. Let the
painter set on canvas his fixed pre-.
sentiment OF lion. tiger or leopard, and
the trainer, by his dangerous medium
Of whip and training stick, win make
the living animals exhibit endless
graces Of subtle line and lovely color.
When he puts his head in the lions
mouth, believe me, he considers II
nothing better than a concession to
the groundllngs, mere vulgar, nee
essary potboileE When he compels
the great tawny thing to repeat the
grace OF a natural movement, the
training Of wild animals being always
along the line OF what they do nat
uraily, ana leap In a long, gracious
curve across the arena to an unstable
landing on a rolling sphere, he feels
that he Is doing something worthy OF
himself and his animals. Or. again,
let the sculptor depict a flying Mer.
curry; Mercury must at least have q
point OF arrival or departure. But for
one brief moment the young woman
OF the circus, swinging through space
from one trapeze to another, Is the
grace OF the Tying Mercury. To at
tain this moment Of self expression
she has given as long and arduous an
apprenticeship as the artist who works
In clay. bronze or marble.-Ralph Der.

The democrats In the United States
senate are conducting an internecine

there will be no healing Of the

In the day following the war of the
rebellion the party was divided into
what was known as .hardshell" and
''softshell" democrats and while the
factions have later been conducted
under other names. 1t Is the same old
condition. the same old sore which

which ia still her home, and she is n
daughter Of Colonel Charles Frederic
Fisher who was killed in the battle of
Bu!l Run. In 1887 she was married TO
James Marquis Tearnan of Maryland.
Tierran's first novel. valerie Aylmer,"
was published in 1871, and since that
time about forty books shave issued
from her pen. This is the first time
that the medal has been awarded to a
native of the South.
The long list Of recipients form a
distinguished honor roll Of the laity OF
the Catholic Church in the United
States. The medal was first conferred
en- John Culinary Shea, the historian,
in 1888. Then followed for this high
distinction Patrick J. Keeley, the arch
itect and builder Of many churches

tend. as I have the highest respect for
Judge Dickinson. AS the reception
and dinner, however. is rendered 10
him by club which has always
claimed to be an exclusively den-
ocratic organization, at a time wnen

abandoned the democratic party and
entered the ranks of the republican

and must respectfully protest. as q
member of this club. against tender
ing such an honor at such a time and
under such circumstances. II jude,
Dickinson supported Judge Taft 10
the presidency, he abandoned the dem,
r,crutic party in the late campaign and
became republican. If he did not
support Judge Taft for the presidency
his acceptance now of position in
the cabinet Is a public announcemem-
OF his allegiance to and accordance

Bravo. Judge Dunno! A non -pa"tis'
an dinner is one thing, but it is quite
to give complimentary banquet to
one of its members when he declares
that he has not been in the habit cf
supporting the ticket III recent years
And to make matters worse the horri is
done the member Just as he ,.gnaliZcs
lis abandonment of his party by a"
cepting a cabinet position uncicr a Re"
publican president.
There is only one excuse that could
be offered-the club might thus give
evidence of it's delight to have tho
party relieved Of the presence Of the
new secretary of war. A man whose
corporate connections can draw hin,
out of the Democratic party Is a bur
den, and his open departure is a bless
ing even IL 1t did require a cabinet
position to give publicity to H. boltirg
that had become chronic.
The Iroquois club has may loys
Democrats among it's members, but Il
will not strengthen it's position in tie
larty by doing honor to one who first
pawned his political principles for q
demption check for a cabinet Office.

about two feet long and one inch wide

cut in it extending nearly its entire
length. A thumbscrew is fitted to run
in this groove and engages a block
which is adapted to slide along the
under side Of the strip. AZ one end
of the strip permanent block is
fastened
To make a straight cut in board
at any prescribed angle with one of
its edges the walnut strip is fitted to
it parallel to the line of the desired
cut and so that the two opposite ex-
tremities of the board are clamped
between the permanent block and the
adjustable block. The guide plate is
then clamped in position, its edge
parallel to the plane of the saw, at
such distance that when the strip
is placed against the edge of the

Matrinony.
BY RAMSEY BENSON.

Matrimony is no doubt treacher-
GUS sea underlaid with cruel rocks
and wrapped in battling vapors But
love finds way, and in the light OF
it the vapors get to look gloriously
rosy
And certainly where ignorance ia
bliss and marriage an ordinance OF
social expediency, 'tis worse than
folly for people to know when they
are well off
Nor would it necessarily avail them
to know, because, while knowledge is
power, it isn't always power enough
as is shown by the wisest of us no
being Invariably able to refrain from
marrying.
Angels would do well. to ask them
selves whether, by being overly
squeamish, they don't open the way
for Just SO many more fools to rusE
in.-Puck

he Trolley and the
e Farnner.

From Robert Haven Schauf1ers
article "To Happiness by Trolley" in
Success Magazine:
1t was the same story with the
small storekeepers, he continued
"They thought judgment day bad
struck 'em along with the interurban.
And, at first, their trade did fall OFF
considerable But bit by BIZ they saw
peoples wants increasing. So village
trade picked up. And then the city
folks began swarming out of town
and building homes along the trolley
line They were awful glad to get
into the country, and grew loyal tc
their new homes and traded with the
local stores. The upshot is that the
trolley has helped all village trades
men except the clothiers."
He went forward to drive the car
while the motorman ate his luncheon.
"Let me tell YOU" he went on, re.
joining me in twenty minutes, were
doing more for the farmer than just
to increase his wants; we're putting
money in his pocket. Wherever an
interurban line has gone it has, for
pne thing, raised land values from
twenty-five to one hundred per cent
1t has brought the farmer in touch
with the briskness and system of
modern commerce, and taught him
to use business methods in his farm
ing. It's given him wider choice Of
markets And he can get his milk.
eggs, fruit and vegetables to town
fresher He receives his market quo
tations by Rural Free Delivery and
phone, and takes quicker advantage
of high prices by means of us.

An innovation In railway train
lighting has been adopted by the
Western Maryland Railroad, which
taps the West Virginia gas fields.
Two of its best trains between Cum
berland and Baltimore are being
equipped with storage tanks for nat
ural gas. If the experiment proves a
success the road plans to use only
natural gas in all it's trains.
