ARMOUR TEAM GREAT
 SEI o-El OTn EEATrIPE

When the Armour $25 900 prize team was in London, England, they created a sem sation and among the things printed about these wonderful horses was the following:
 The Armour grays made their first public appearance in this country at the horse parade in Regents Park, where, of course, they were the observed of all observers Their driver, Billy Wales, as he drove into the narrow ring saw the opportunity for what he himself called a parlor trick To the astonishment of judges and spectators he swung this six ton team with the three-and-h -half-ton wagon behind them in a complete circle round the narrow inclosure and did the extraordinary feat almost entirely by word of mouth"
 The Great Sells-F1oto Shows have se- cured this exceptional feature and these wonderful animals are now being toured over the United States with this big cir GUS. They are the genuine Armour grays and all of the valuable trophies, prizes, ribbons, etc., will also be displayed when the circus comes. The Sells-F1oto circus this year is a combination of two of the most popular shows, which toured the country heretofore separately. These shows are now recognized as a circus of the best class and of the greatest kind. The union of these shows includes just about all there is in the amusement world which Is really worth while.
 From the opening pageant to the Hippo drome races the acts in these combined shows are of the very best class obtain able in Europe and America. The Nelson family Is marvellous novelty act, is seen for the first time in this country in many seasons, they having been abroad. The Bartik troup have never been seen in this country before Lon Moore's brigade of clowns are not exactly new to the fun loving public, but have many really funny stunts which are actually ludicrous and lead all clown stunts. Tomorrow the big show opens in Birmingham for a two days engagement, two performances each day. The parade 1t Is promised will be beauty and will go on the following route: From Smith park, up Fifth ave- nue to Nineteenth street. to First avenue, to Twenty-flrst street to Third avenue and Third avenue direct to circus grounds.

DREW THE LINE AT SUICIDE.
Russian NobIeman Very Wisely De-
cIined Contemplated Duel.

One of the stories told of D. d.
Mann, one of Canada's big men-in
every sense-was repeated during his
recent visit to New York, when he
was entertained at dinner, the
guests all being men of millions. Mann
has had a sensational career, begin.
ming as an aXman in the Canadian
lumber woods, and is now one of the
greatest of American railroad builders.
A correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Times-Star, in telling the story, says
that early in life Mann visited Europe
on a business mission, and at din
ner one night became involved in a
quarrel with a Russian nobleman.
Next day de received a call from one
of the nobleman's friends, bearing an
invitation to a duel. eff he don't like
what I said to him, let him come up
and tell me So" said Mann. "He
can come a-running, too, and carry
any size gun he likes"
The friend explained that would
never do. Nothing but the regular
thing on the field of honor would do.
ooh, all right" said Mann. 'Tve
been fighting duets, all my life. But
I'll have to insist On using my national
weapon-a 16-pound double-bitted az"
The friend went away holding up
his hands at the barbarian. That
night the nobleman met Mann. He
was about the size of a ribbon
counter clerk. Mann is something
over six feet high and four feet wide,
with no fat. 81 fight you, msoo," said
the nobleman, with the weapon of

Miss Elizabeth Warrington Philip of
Talavera, Claverack, N. Y, has this

British sportsmen, including the pres

Mr. Townsend is not expected until
later. Their stables are situate close
to those of Mr. Cochran, and contain
something like 10 hunters. Mr.. Gerry
has obtained his hunting experience
chiefly with the Virginia hounds in
America.
Mrs. David Beatty has now had sew

She has become very popular in Eng

with which the leading culprits are
serving terms of Imprisonment varying
from six to twelve years.

The An,eric- n woman.

According to the reau,s Of the re-
searches of Professor baldwin of Bos-
ton, critics of the american Uomi;2
have been saying very unkind things
about her OF late. The composite por-
trait of her drawn by them looks
about like this to the professor:
The American woman is an all round
failure both before and after marriage
She is idle" selfish ''eXtravagant,"
"superficial' ''discursive'' restless"
"cowardly" shrinking greedy pam
pered," spoiled" parasitic capri
cious," ''imperious," ''tyrannicaI," BRA
zen," aggressive" loud voiced hard
featured constituencies. ''heartless."
without SEX and without hunor."
This sweeping Indictment may apply
to an occasional American woman, but
not to the typical American woman.
works as hard at home running the
household and caring for the children
as her husband works at the Office or
in the fields. She may be a trife
selfish In common with other NOR
tails of both sexes, but daily those
around her find her going without in
order that her loved ones may have
what they desire. Possibly she is sex
travagant," but if her American hus-
band shows a disposition to save
money she will do her share of the
saving and more. If she be restless"
she but shares in the restlessness that
has made America the land of prog
ress and ''get there" She may be
"pampered," but she has never been
spoiled" She is not "cowardly," as
many a burglar has learned to his
cost, and as she is always to be found
behind every movement for decency
and for the relief of distress she can
hardly be charged justly with being
"heartIess" and "conscienceless." If
she be a bit ''capricious" and 'imperi>
ous," these so called faults but add to
her charm, and as for shrinking" and
aggressive" how can she be both?
She is neither ''brazen," ''loud voiced"
''hard featured" nor parasitic" and
without SEX by no means applies to
her. She is a genuine woman from
the tips of her toes to her tortoise shell
combs and the very best type of wo-
man the world has produced. To ac-
cuse her Of being without humor' is
to confess that one does not know her.
In conclusion, the typical American
woman is just as good as the typical
American map-and a little better

chine is so small that it travels COM
fortably on the back Of his motor car.
It is a monoplane, with a 24-horse-
power Antoinette motor, weighing So
kilos, and making 1,400 revolutions a
minute. The total weight is about $50
kilos. The aeroplane was expected to
fly at so kilometers an hour, and to

The CountrX-Life Problem.

God made the country and man

of recognizing the fundamental char
acter of country life in our civilization.
Country life would be abundantly pos
sible without city life, as compared
with city life. In some countries, like
Russia, 80 per cent. of the population
live in the country; but city life is i'm
possible without country life as it's
foundation. This fact gives the work
of the presidents commission on
country life a very real interest to the
jewellers in towns, as well as to
those who live in the country.-Gif-

DEAL LIGHTLY WITH THE OUNCE
Reasons Why Some Children Simply
Cannot Learn.

A small coterie of French doctors is
at present studying school children
and has at the moment under it's es-
pecial observation that infantile phe
nomenon known as the Ounce. The
existence Of the Ounce is frequently to
be attributed, they declare, to faulty
hygienic environment, unsuitable food
or tactless treatment. incidentally
they assert that a disposition for
mathematical studies is no criterion
OF capacity for original or vigorous
thought, and that the ability to deal
with numbers is often observable in
the very weak of mind, says the New
York World.
The Ounce, they say, is often any.
thing but a Ounce. The poor child
may suffer from weakness of sight, or
incipient deafness, and his teachers
fail to note the fact. Morbid shyness
and elf-consciousness, often charac
teristic in children, are the so-called
dullard's inability to learn. All chill
dren do not progress with the same
alertness. The phenomenon of grown
ups who are ten years behind their
age, in regard to mentality, has been
noted by all physicians. Corvisart,
NapoleCns doctor, declaring that
these minds often prove the finest
when they reach their maturity, and
that the fact of their backwardness is
invariably a sign that ripe old age
will be reached.
The personal character of children
say these French doctors, requires to
be trained in respect to pluck, initia-
tive and interest, before the purely
mental attributes can be expected to
come into play. Children who evince
a dislike to play should be taught that
success in play and kindred matters
is the surest guaranty of success in
the great game of life later on. Par
ucular care must be taken in the
selection of schools and school-sur-
roUndings for children who are I'm.
usually fat or overgroWn, or who show
a tendency to be what is known as
"old-fashioned." When children are
likely to become the butts of their
companions, parents cannot be too
careful in deciding as to how they
shall be trained. Observation and the
advice of physical attributes, are the
safest guides if the rearing of whole
some men and women be, as it
should be, the end of early education.

nnIx Eiye Acres.

Mrs. T.. FL. Bailey, who, with
her husband, is the owner Of five
acre ranch near Meridian, gives rs
some facts indicating the resources
Of such farm in the way Of sus-
tanning a family. The land IS
not in berries, but most Of it is In
hay and pasture. During the
present year the sales from this
place have been as follows; Hogs,
$3.50; chickens, $500; eggs,
S20O65: butter, $66.40; prunes,
s44.00; hay, 5000; wheat, $500:
potatoes, $500; veal, $27.50; ber-
ries, carrots and parsnips, $3.50,
making total of s4S405.
From this should be deducted
the cost Of shorts. oats, wheat and
grit bought and fed to stock and
chickens, amounting to $685.,
The land cost 81, 600, and the inn
proyements $500. The owner has
earned, by working off the farm,
about $3.50, which added to the
products Of the farm made total
income Of $63405. This would be
d small income for d family Of
average size to live we'll on, but
besides what was sold from the
farm there was all the abundance
which supplied the table with
about everything that is good to
eat. The eggs, butter and cream,
the meat, fruit and vegetables
which the family used would have
cost several hundred dollars II
bought at the usual prices.
This report is only a hint Of what
can be done on a small farm with

cultivation,
