special lines of endeavor have like
wise received their most cordial sup

This is particularly true in the mat

first state to have state supervisor

WORST HORSE IN THE WORLD.

in the world will be identified during
the Frontier days celebration which 10

10th, goth and 21st. Heretofore, at
preceding Frontier days and other
western celebrations, prizes have been
offered for the worst horse." but at
the coming cowboy carnival at Chey.
enne there will be conducted the first
out-and-out contest exclusively for
bad horses. In this the determination
of relative degrees of equine cussed-
ness will not be side issue in .
rough riding contest. but will be the
issue-in-chief of contest designated
to identify the worst horse in the
world and for no other end.
Only in the West does value at
tach to a bad horse, elsewhere such
an animal is worse than valueless.
But in the West-the land Of the
broncho and those dauntless riders
who subjugate the outlaw strain in
the broncho's temperament = the
worse horses disposition the higher
his value.
Bad buckers here attain fame that
spreads through many states and
OUTLAWS" which defy continuously
and successfully all efforts to break
their spirit are property Of great val
ue. Noted riders will travel hundreds
of miles to try conclusions with such
horses as Stemler Bay, Old Steam
boat, Senator Warren, Rocking Chair,
and others of their kind; thousands
of dollars have been wagered on con-
tests between such animals and cow
boys who believe they possess the
skill and strength to break them.
In the worst horse" contest,
owners of outlaw bronchos will enter
their animals and provide riders for
them. The cowboys doing the riding
will be required to observe the same
rules as govern the championship
broncho busting contest, but judging
will not be Of the merits Of the rider.
but of the strength, cunning and
wickedness Of the horses. Inasmuch
as it is expected that the worst horse
in every state in which the broncho
thrives will be entered it well may be
said that the result of the contest will
be Identification of the worst horse in
the world.

ARE NOT SLAVES OF FASHION
In China a Man Can Dress az He
Pieases Without Attracting
Attention.

The fashions in Suchien, Kiangsu
province, have a variety of such extent
that every man can dress according to
his Individual choice and still be in
correct taste and without attracting
special attention from anybody else.
In other words, the styles this year
are of personal ideals, according to a
correspondent of the British China
Daily Herald.
He says that every man wears what
is right In his own eyes, and there are
few If any, to ridicule. A panama hat
goes jauntily down the street, closely
followed by a fur-covered brim hat:
felt hats of scarlet and verdigris green
come along with grays and browns
that do the halter credit for unique In
vention. These, with the Eskimo top
capes, few derby hats and the smart
military uniforms, give the streets a
piquancy which was unknown in the
monotonous china blue Of former
years.
Among the notices posted on the
city gate is fashion plate that has
been exhibited for weeks. 1t displays
two or three Of the typical western
suits"-the swallow-tailed and the low
front frock for evening wear-street
garb of European and American style,
and many other varieties. There one
also finds the plated skirts recon-
mended for the women. and close by
them is the proud silk or stovepipe hat
of felt, which has its special corner
with other headgear.

that this was no pleasantly. His sus-

This action made Rositta furious,
but she did not show her indigna-

She blew shrill blasts on her whistle
and the feet shot up into the air as
one bird.
The Count Santos Duprel was at the
wheel and Rositta commanded the
feet. The second line of machines
was signaled to reverse their flight
and the first line followed her. After
they had separated from each other
mile or 30 both lines turned toward
the center, and the chancellor at last
understood the Significance of the ma
neuver when red pennants were hoist
ed on the eleven machines comprising
the princess feet and blue on the ten
opposite.
The aerodromone Princess" made
a detour and took a position on the
right wing of the line; then the sham
battle began.
The princess could not resist the i'm.
pulse to show her prowess. Santos
flung their aerodromone into the fight;
they lodged and turned, each trying
to gain in elevation. Finally, with a
quick spring the Princess" evaded
its enemy and slid between its wings
from the back and the next moment
the enemy was captive.
