"SdWduSt Town. .

Where do all the acrobats and tumb-
lers come from? Where do they learn
their trade? There is no school, as
such, for the training of men who i'm
peril their limbs for a living. The adj
vance car manager of the Sun Brothers
Greater Shows, which was recently here
billing for the appearance of their ex-
hibition, and who by the way is an old
retired acrobat and is now following
the advertising branch of the show bus
mess, solved the above questions when
he told where he had learned to leap
and turn springs in the air and fall on
the back of his neck without injuring
himself.
Most Of the tented show acrobats,
and not q few Of the rough and tumble
comedians Of the stage, who have grad
uated from the ring, were reared and
learned the rudiments of their business
in the lumber towns of the Northwest.
In the "business" these are known as
"~Sawdust' towns, on account of the
sawmills.
1t is here in these "Sawdust" towns
where the acrobats learn their trade.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN
NEW YORK.

1t has been announced that the Dem
2cratic party in New York is to be re-
organized and rehabilitated, as a fact it
IS to be infused with new blood, which
implies that it is in a State of collapse
and has about reached the moribund
stage. There should be no delay in
the application of the needed appliance,
but it will be slow in reviving, even with
electrical batteries, until it shall be
emancipated from the Murphy regime.
The basis of reorganization is to be
pursued on a conciliatory policy. What
ever be done should lead in strengthen
ing conhdencesin the leadership of the
party. While the spoils of office may be
divided and shared by the workers,
the party should be relieved of the men
who thrive and fatten on public plum
der. The Democracy of New York was
once power in National politics, but
it stands discredited and is scarcely con-
sidered as in the past. The whole Ma
ton will rejoice, if the barnacles and
the leeches can be made to release their
hold on the party There can be lit
tie, if any, relief under the spoils sys-
tenn as manipulated by the professional
politicians

Chicago solved the problem by putting

anal applicants for the position of

went before the board of education and
presented their cases. Mrs. Ella Flagg
Young was the one woman who talked
to that board of education. She was the
last to be called. 1t was six o'clock and
the members were weary and hungry.
They had debated all afternoon after
three months of wrangling. The men
had been accorded hearing of twenty
minutes each. Mrs Young was asked
to talk, and when she stopped requested
to go on. She talked two hours. Then
instead of motion to adjourn for din
ner, it was moved that vote be taken
at once As result of that vote Mrs.
Young was unanimously elected super

Mrs. Alfred D. Land Tuesday after
noon at her home on Fairfield avenue.

triotic and lovely. Words sweet with
wisdom and counsel and in deep thank
fulness for ''the fullness of the earth
was the thanksgiving sentiment beauti
fully expressed.
Then, as is always the custom in the
Pelican Chapter, the Lords Prayer was
recited by all standing, led by Mrs.
Beattie.
The business session was of unusual
interest 1t was decided that the prac-
teal work for the coming year will be
to encourage and aid the educational
deparement of the State Fair. For this
purpose the following committee was
appointed: Mrs Matte H. Williams,
Mrs L. c. Bulkley, Mrs James Ross,
Miss Nettie Boisseau
1t was also decided to change the date
of the presentation of the Pelican gold
medals from May to March in order
not to conflict with the closing work of
the schools.
Mrs. Fosters appointment by the
National Society on the committee to
prevent the dissertation of the flag, was
read; the work of the committee also
is to teach reverence of the flag.
A delightful social hour followed.
Sandwiches, cups of fragrant steaming
tea, and crystallized fruits were served
in the dining roon-'over the tea cups

sation, courtesies extended the guests
and new members, making this charm

filled with branches of woodland beauty,
gorgeous with autumn coloring, were
the beautiful and appropriate adornment
of the rooms. The elegant simplicity of
the mission style in architecture and
furnishings, emphasized the aesthetic
taste of the presiding genius of this
lovely home.

1T WAS RESPONSIVE TO THE
SENTIMENT OF LAW
AND ORDER.

The meeting of citizens held in the
court house Thursday night was one
of the greatest gatherings ever held in
Shreveport There have been meetings,
in the open and indoors, where the
crowds have been more numerous, but
no assemblage was ever moved to
greater ernestness of purpose or enthu-
siasm..
This gathering was responsive to the
demand for the enforcement of the law,
all laws, in which is included the law
which prohibits the sale of intoxicants
in Shreveport and in Caddo parish, but
which has been fagranay disregarded
by the law breakers.
The assembIage, one Of the best,
noted for its intelligence and being rep
resentative of the good citizenship of
