Big Auto Meet At Cheyenne
Frontier Days Will Attract More
Motorists Than Cowboy
Town Has Ever Seen.

1t is expected that the coming From
tier Days Celebration will attract to
Cheyenne more automobiles and mo-
torcycles, than the old cow-town has
ever seen at one time.
The roads to Cheyenne from all
points of the compass are in excellent
condition, and hundreds of tourists
spending their summer in the west are
planning to include the famous From
tier festival in their tour. Cheyenne
is located on the transcontinental route
and also on the Yellowstone Highway
and splendid road runs through
northern Colorado to Denver. Among
the motorcyclists, there will be de-
legation of 300 representatives of the
short grass club of Kansas which will
include Frontier Days in its annual
tour.
The festival program begins on the
afternoon of August Ia and will con-
tinue the remainder of the week.

County Assembly of Sedgwick County

should be deposited with banks upon
such terms as shall provide for the pay

just rate of interest based upon daily
balances. --'--..'-'--'-s' '' sa''-'-a-''-f'''--'
That it is the sense of this assembly
that all persons designated as nominees
for the office of County Treasurer of
the Republican Primary Ticket shall
publicly declare themselves upon this
question.
The following resolution was also ad-
opted by vote of II.
RESOLUTION
Be it resolved that z. n. Cleveladd,
w. T. Johnson and O. S. Corpe be and
are hereby constituted a committee to
make original designations two fill vacan-
cies that may occur before the Primary
Election September 10th 1912 in the
ticket named by the Assembly.
1t is of course impossible to say at
this time who all the candidates will
be but for those who have no opposition
in the Primary Election we can say
that no mistake has been made in the
unanimous choice of these parties.
Mrs. Labaree has made an efficient
County Clerk so that the Democrats
endorsed her at their Assembly. And
Mrs. Babcock has been without equal
in the office of County Sup't. of
Schools. Her work in this office and
on the Board of the High School has
had the effect of all the schools
of the County being put upon
a plane never before attained.
Her methods are all practical and up
to date in every respect, her qualifica-
tons are without question and the abb
iity undisputed. She has removed her
office above the plan of politics show
ing courtesy to all and favors to none
And while she will have some opposi-
tion from the Democratic party her
election in November is beyond dis
pute.
That this is a Republican year goes
without saying, wherever there are
various aspirants for the same office
the candidates have all agreed that the
people shall rule and whoever is NOM
mated at the Primary they will all go
out and help elect at the November
election.

TAVERN ALSO A PAWNSHOP
Establishment In the City of London,
England, Is in Enjoyment OF
Unique Privilege.

A time-honored London (Eng) city
tavern, the Castle, at the corner of
Cowcross street, facing Harrington
street, enjoys the unique distinction
OF being also a fully licensed pledge
shop. Over the door in the bar, which
gives access to the landlords private
room, and thrown into bold relief by
the official document behind it, the
historic three-sphered symbol is dis
cernible. Any one may here nego-
tiate loan upon his personal belong
ings without being under the neces-
sity of first calling for refrshment.
Formerly the house had a special
pledge counter resembling the modern
Bottle and Jug" department, but this
is no longer in evidence.
This strange combination of bust
ness dates from the reign of George
~, who, after attending a cock fight
at Hockley-in-the-Hole, applied to the
landlord of the Castle for a temporary
accommodation on the security of his
watch and chain. By royal warrant a
few days later he invested that oblig.
Ing boniface with the right Of adj
vancing money on pledges, and from
that time down to the present a
pawnbroker's license has been annual
ly granted to the Castle. This hostel
ry is mentioned once or twice by
Dickens in his novels.

goods dealer, recently, was a letter
which indicated that the writer was

back up his consideration with square
dealing in it's entirety, relates the In

substance as follows:
Peoria, ILL., Gentlemen-I am in

FALSE IDEAS OF PERFECTION
Absurd Development of Muscle Has
Little Part in Production of
Perfect Athlete.

A recent portrait of lumpy ath-
lete, who invites others, and not with
out success, to try his system of
physical development, shows that the
false idea of physical perfection
which obtained for SO many years, and
which demanded huge and knobby
muscles Of its disciples, has not yet
perfection, once useful perhaps to
hang armor upon, was thought to pos
sess the sanction of the golden age
of artistry when the lubberly Farnese
Hercules came to light, to be hailed
as supreme product of the Greeks
We know it now for an example Of
decadent Greek taste, fit companion
of the absurd and sensational Lao
coon. 1t Is naught but type of the
strong man of vaudeville with Ills
clumsy masses of beef and his brain
Of spoiled child, fit only tn push Ills
awkward dumb bells into the air, an
enviable sum of achievement truly
after a lifetime Of work by civilized
human being. No less than strength,
are sped and grace demanded of the
ide9l athletes, likewise face of re-
anement and intelligence to tell of a
brain within to comprehend art, music
and literature, and the ability to plan
victories either Of peace or war. Look
upon the Apollo Belvidere, which en-
bodies the true dreams of health and
mental and physical efficiency, with
Its face of exquisite beauty above
form whose lines are tranquil poetry,
yet shadow forth their readiness to
start into sinewy vigor when the call
for action comes. Even the Indian,
the perfect savage, never resembled
the Farnese monstrosity, the emu
lators of which find their place in
modern life so much better filled by

SLEDS USED IN THE YUKON
Not Constructed Along Lines of Beau
ty, but for Hard Work They
Are Perfection.

The Yukon sled, while not a thing
OF beauty, is built to stand all kinds
OF hard wear or, as the Irishman
said, 1T will last forever, and after
that can be used for f1rewood." The
sled is about eight feet long, is made
of any kind of hard wood, lies close
to the ground, costs from $40 to $14,
and makes a trail sixteen inches in
width. Another pattern is known as
the basket sleigh. and 1t is to the
Yukon sleigh what a three-masted
schooner Is to coal barge. In length
1t is from eight to fifteen feet, is made
of birch, oak or hickory, cuts a trail
twenty-five inches in width, costs from
$40 to $500, is raised a foot or more
from the runners, and, in the best ex-
amples, is dashed together with raw
hide. The basket sleigh, as its name
implies, is fitted with a basket, into
which the load is placed, and from
the back of the basket a pair of
handles project, to be used in guiding
the sled on the trail. 1t often hap
pens that a Yukon sled will be fitted
with homemade basket, in imitation
Of its more aristocratic brother. In
very cold weather wooden runners are
best, but in ordinary circumstances
steel or brass runners are used

AUTOGRAPH TELLS A TALE
Character of the Kaiser Revealed to
Expert by Close Analysis of
His Signature.

There Is always certain amount Of
interest attached to the deductions
drawn by graphologists from the sig
natures Of eminent men. Here, for
example, is an Illuminating description
Of the kaiser's autograph, supplied by
an eminent Berlin graphologist:
ITO begin with, there is a crochet. a
sign of pertinacity, followed by verti-
cal dash, showing audacity, energy, re-
CARELESS of any obstacle. Then there
is an acute angle, a sign of firmness
and aggressiveness. The first stroke
of the w indicates a feeling Of supe-
riority over the rest of the uni
verse. The termination of the impe-
rial W. suggests that the sovereign
son1eemes finds himself struggling
with the multitude of lis thoughts, or
the power Of his instincts.
THE other letters forming the sigma
ture show similar characteristics" the
graphologist proceeds. "The final m
is indicative of great diplomacy, which
to the analyst suggests subtlety. The
letter also suggests the impossibility
OF the suppression Of the ego The
flourish which terminates the imperial
autograph shows suppleness Of spir-
1t, desire to be loved, also self-es-
TEEN.
'The two terminating points indi-
cate defiance and generally the char
acteristics are those of an extraor-
binary imagination"

One night, in a Texas town, John
McCullough's company was playing
"Ingomar," and young Sothern was to
be the leader of the barbarian army.
During the day he and his compan-
ions-in-arms ransacked the town for
fur coverings in which to appear on
the stage. They secured some skins
which had been imperfectly cured. In
the scene where the barbarians
rushed on Mccullough the tragedian
stood aghast and almost forgot his
lines. When the curtain fell he turned
to the Uncovered battalion and said :
Boys, you don't look like a barbarian
army, but I'm ID if you don't
smell like one"
