SOAP-BOX SEDITION.

that 1.-The men who are speaking and writing and
printing arguments against the war now and
against everything that is being done to carry on
the war are rendering effective service to Ger

The German government long ago recognized
that fact but The World knows no antidOte for
that kind of disloyalty except PATRIOTISM anu the
best way to combat the kind of treason that Mr..
Root describes is by appealing to loyal public opln-
ion which is overwhelming in this country even II
it is not always vOciferOus.

TRAPEzE ARTISTS MUST GUARD
Mr. ana Mrs. Charles setsrlst Agree
That Right Living Is Essential
70 suecess In Their line.

While II Is not an unusual thing for
man and wife to appear in the same
circus act, something remarkable may
be found in the fact that Mrs. and
Mrs. Charles Seigrist, who viii appear
with the Barnum & Bailey circus here
Saturday, une 2, have been doing a
: feature aerial act with the same show
for ten years.
Charles seigrist was 26 years Of age
and his wife was 16 when they Joined
the show. Both were from families
of aerial performers and had been
trained since infancy. Both had per
formed in small circuses and we're
drafted by the big show because OF
the excellence of their acts. They were
mated In spectular act in which
twenty performers took part The first
season they fell In love and before the
following season they were married.
Regarding his ability to keep up the
strain on muscle and nerve, Stegrtst
has some interesting things to say:
Keep everlastingly at 1t, never get
out of training by lack Of practice, and
never quit trying to learn something
new" Such is his secret Of success.
Mrs. seigrist, the artists pretty
wife, nodded acpuieseence to this
statement. And she ought to know,
because twice daily she hangs head
downward from bar almost under
/ the top Of the canvas Of the big circus
and catches her husband when he Is
thrown to her by another member OF
the troupe.
Eyes" she said, I'VE have to prac.
tice our work all the time. Even in
the winter after the circus closes we
set up our apparatus and go through
our regular performance"
Lots Of work. good food and plenty
of It; very little drinking Of alcoholic
beverages and plenty of Sleep" said
Mr.. Seigrist, "is a pretty fair schedule
of the life for the aerialist to follow
who does heavy work. A man doesn't
have to stick to any specific diet, how.
ever. When an engine does lot OF
work it uses lot of steam, and 1t is
only by using great deal of fuel that
the steam is made. 1t is just about the
same proposition with US.

Talent and Work.

A talent does not relieve us from
the necessity of working. 1t only
shows us the line in which we can
work most effectively. The girl who
thinks that because she has natural
taste for music, she can dispense with
the practice of scales, will find herself
worse off than another who owns that
she has no talent, but is ready to plod.
