BEAUTIFUL DARING
WESTERN GIRLS
AS Much At Home On a Horse
AS a City Girl In a Troll
ley Car.

In no part of the habitable
globe are there better lady riders
than can be found in the west.
A girl must be able to ride if she
wants to visit her neighbors Of
ten. And how some of these
young creatures can manage a
horse! What pictures Of beauty,
daring and health they are as
they come dashing along at full
speed, playing games, chasing
each other or racing just for fun.
Indeed, horseback riding is a
common and easy pastime to a
wild western girl" just as troll
ley riding is to city girl.
The Western girl goes every
where on horseback. She can

ing the slightest fatigue. She

visits her next door neighbor"
(maybe fifteen miles away all
on the back of her favorite pony.
Yes, the Western girl can GER
tainly ride, as you will readily
perceive when you witness the

them in the Hippodrome Races !;
note their skill and fearlessness,
be enchanted by their beauty,
spellbound by their achieve
ments, and awakened to the
pleasures and enjoyment Of the
competition by their silvery
ringing laughter.
There are many things worth
seeing with this splendid attrac-
ton, but not oneprettier or more
likely to be a gratifying after
thought in your memory than
the lovely wild Western girl with
sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks
who flashed by you on the back
|of a plunging steed.

MONKEYS PROVE
MEDICAL THEORY
Open Air Treatment By Gentry
Brothers Saves SimianS
From Ravages of
White Plague.

In the evolution of medicine
and surgery the masters of these
professions have resorted to the
use of the lower animals in maxi
ing tests by which the human
family profits. The rabbit and
the guinea pig are the lower ami
mails in which the heart action is
closest to that of the human be-
ing.
The monkey tribe, however, is
the family in which the action
of the lungs is closest to that of
man. Monkeys are particularly
subject to pulmonary tuberculo-
sis, or in plain language, con-
sumption. Among monkeys the
deadly white plague reaps its toll
almost without resistance.
Several years ago the medical
world evolved the theory that
open air was the surest prevent
ative for tuberculosis of the
lungs. This scientific disclosure
was quickly caught up by the
Gentry Brothers, proprietors
and owners of Gentry Brothers
All New Feature Shows. To
them it meant much.
Conducting a trained animal
exhibition, that has arisen to the
apex of fame, Gentry Brothers
used monkeys. The loss among
the simians from tuberculosis
was appalling. When the fresh
air treatment was expounded
Gentry Brothers decided upon
drastic moves. They decreed
that monkeys for all time should
live in the open air.
Following this decision came a
most remarkable demone
of how nature provides for her
own. Nature soon provided the
simians, destined to open air IN
northern winter, with heavier
coats of hair. These coats were
heavier than any ever before
seen on monkeys. The monkeys
were left in open air all the year,
their only protection being a dry
goods box. Since then Gentry
Brothers have lost but two mon
KEYS, whereas twenty-five was
the usual toll of the plague IN
winter.
The monkeys, strangely
enough, welcome their new mode
| of living. All summer they are
left in unconfned spaces. In
winter they are offered only
enough protection to break the
wintry winds. The result is that
the simians are acclimated, there
is no tuberculosis among them,
and the only troupe of year
round open air monkeys in the
world are with Gentry Brothers

COURT DIVIDED ON SUIT.
Judge Knapp Dissents From Opinion
Reversing Verdict in Little
Girls $4,000 Case.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 1S.-The U. S.
Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Mar
tin. A. Knapp dissenting Yesterday
handed Gown an opinion reversing the
Judgment of, the lower court in the
$4,000 damage suit of 5-year-old
Frances E. Smith against the BaltI-
more and Ohio Railroad company. The
case was appealed from the United
States District Court at Huntington,
W Va, in which verdict for the
railway company was rendered on IN
struction of the presiding judge. The
,pjnion was written by Judge Charles
A Woo:s, Judge Pritchard concur
ring.
In September, 1911, Frances l.
Smith was run down by a passenger
train of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road near Mason City, W. Va, and
suffered the loss of an arm and leg
besides numerous other serious IN
uries. She was walking along tns
track with her 3-year-old brother wher
the train approached from behlno.
She became panic-stricken when the
engineer sounded his alarm whistle
and ran straight down the track Il
front of the locomotive, while Fer 1T
tie brother tumblcd off the rails TO
safety.
At the trial the presiding ju1ge oe-
cidcd that no evidence had been INTRO
duced to show punishable negligence
on the part Of the engineer. In the
opinion yesterday the court ruled tina
there was evidence to prove that the
engineer had not applied his emerg
ency brakes on the instant he per
cieved the children on the track
Judge Knapp, in his dissenting opir-
ion, agrees with the trial juage. The
case was sent back for new trial.
