WORTH RECALLING.

Every thought is active, that is
born Of a desire and travels from US,
or it is born of a desire of some one
else and comes to US. If we are idle
and empty-headed our brains are the
playrooms for the thoughts of others.
Hatred is a heavier freight for the
shipper than It is for the consignee.
The way to forget a wrong is not TO
guard it as a sensitive spot In your
memory, but to grasp it as the wise
ones grasp a nettle-crush all its pow
er to harm you IN one courageous con.
tact
We think things are calamities and
trials and sorrows. Only namesl They
are spiritual gymnastics and have an
eternal value.

National Rivalry for Equestrian Hon
ors With the Hagenbeck Shows

Never before has such a varied CON
stellation of riding experts been pre-
sented with tented organization such
as those seen with the Hagenbeck-
Wallace Shows which exhibit here
Wednesday. September 20. In extent
and excellence Of it's equestrian contin-
gent the greatest riders of the world
have been gathered together Every
school of equistrianism has one or
more representatives II individuals,
duos, trios and troupes--in a program
Of performances of range so wide that
diverse fancies demanding something
either admirable, beautiful, sensation
alor exciting are bound to be satisfied
and the catalogue of accomplishments
is splendidly complete. They are leap
ing and bounding jockeys, piroquet-
ting and somersaulting riders, tan rid
ers. esquires and DANES in beautiful
menage accomplishments, hussars in
drills of the lancers, octettes in equis-
trian minuets and floral tournaments,
park pastimes Of exceeding elegance
and grace and cavalry recruits In
heroic and amusing horsemanship Of
the frontier, withsrough riding stunts
that are thrilling.
Europe's greatest arenic innoyators,
the Bedinis, will be seen in startling
new acts. Beginning where the ma
jority of riders have reached the ex-
treme limit Of possible effort, they pre-
sent individually and collectively the
most startling and sensational equis-
trian feats than the American arena
has ever before seen. 1t is no uncom-
mon sight to see these five riders,
moving precisely as a single person,
L leap and bound from the ground to
the bare back of a single, fast run
ming horse Besides this great act are
many progeny of illustrious riding
families fitted by personal prowess to
wear the mantle Of greatness intrusted
to their care, each of whom would be
featured individually as star act
with the average circus. The equis-
trian exhibitions are so diversified
that at times the three rings, elevated
stages and hippodrome are required
in their presentation. The most fas-
tidious and critical circus goer should
find something to please and satisfy
them in the varied program of menage
bareback and frontier riding acts, not
to mention the large array Of other
exhibitions of skill and courage and
the remarkable performances Of the
trained wild ANIMALS, complete show
in itself, and one that has never be-
fore been equaled in circus history

Failed in q Good Cause.

Twenty years ago there was In
the congress of the United States a
particularly scholarly and brilliant
man in the person of William Henry
Grain, a representative from Texas"
remarked Col. Charles A. Edwards, a
Washington journalist, at the Rem
merit. "Mr. Grain was profoundly i'm
pressed with the folly of holding in
augural pageants at the bleak and
inclement time the law has fixed, and
throughout his whole service in the
house worked indefatigably to have
the day changed from March to a
later period. He was given but luke
warm support, though then, as now,
all the prominent newspapers of the
land were in favor of the proposed
change. Now the whole country is
alive to the Importance of substitute
ing the mild and beautiful April sea-
son (the last of April) for the tickle
and Outlines savage March, and so
we have cause for hope that the Grain
proposition will at no distant day be-
come a reality.
tits eloquent advocate died pre-
maturely while still a congressman,
and it is sad he did not live to see
the whole nation aroused to the
necessity of adopting the plan he
urged in vain"

Fight for HObson's Seat.

William c. Davis, of Jasper, will
oppose Congressman Richmond Pear
son Hobson for reelection in the Sixth
district in 1910. This is one of the
most interesting political develop
ments in Alabama in recent months.
Undoubtedly the speech which Con-
gresham Hobson made in favor OF
the bill to restore some of the negro
soldiers dismissed from the army be-
cause of the Brownsville affair will
figure in some way in the campaign.
Mr.. .Hobson said that the three min
utes in which he proposed to talk
would probably result in arousing
opposition to him in his district and
it might result in his defeat.
