" HERE is one advantage in being
small-one can do ballet dancing
Il stunts atop an ostrich in full
career.
Riding an ostrich is one of the regu-
lation diversions afforded visitors to
the feather farms hereabouts. Several
of the big birds have been so trained
that they will permit a person to
mount them, at least long enough to
be photographed for the benefit of be-
nighted relatives back home. But when
it comes to doing real stunts, and cir
Gus stunts at that, on the hurricane
deck of the longlegged birds-that is
really going some.
Little Viena Bolton, the 4 foot Z girl
who plays in Swat Milligan" at the
Orpheum, is the only one so far of
record who has sufficiently tanned the
unruly feather producer so that he
might be trihed with Miss Bolton is
no bigger than child, though she is a
woman in years and experience. So
when she went to the ostrich farm
Saturday morning and mounted the
trained bird she felt really quite at
home on his broad back. She did sew
eral laps about the grounds and had
a few thrills, but all this seemed tame
to her; others had done as much. So
she decided TO De Inherent.
I'm going to ride him circus fash
ion," she announced, "and show you
few things"
The management protested. saying it
was not safe, as the bird was not
trained to such evolutions.
''Then I'll train him." was the de-
fant reply, and thereupon Miss Bolton
mounted to her tiny feet and grasped
"Giddap!" she shouted. go it, old
bird"
The bird took her at her word and
was, off for a gallop all over the place.
"It was a great ride" said the
breathless little driver upon her re-
turn. "He did not like it at first, but
I soon had him in hand. I think 1t is
a delightful mode Of locomotion. and
hope some day to have trained os-
trich of my own"
The management was so charmed
with Miss Bottoms unique stunt that
two baby ostriches born there Saturday
were named, one Viena Bolton and the
other Swat Milligan, in her honor.

NEW CHINESE PARLIAMENT
TO ASSEMBLE OCTOBER 8
Anti-Foreign Feeling in FIowery
Land Growing

PEKIN, June 5.-The prince regent
of China, not to be behindhand in
twentieth century methods, has issued
an imperial edict announcing the date,
october 8, for the meeting of men of
note from all parts of the nation to
elect ninety-six members of all ranks
to compose a national parliament.
China has become the scene of
great national unrest. In addition to
their strong feeling of animosity
against foreigners, which has greatly
strengthened in the past few days, the
natives have cut off their queues, to
the degradation of their long-estab-
lished religious and dynastic customs.
