Last year one of the big circuses ex- perienced considerable annoyance throughout Central Indiana because of the warfare waged against it by the Salvation Army. The Salvationists met the circus men on their own ground and declared war by pasting .tiny strips of paper bearing Scriptural texts and religious warnings upon the circus billboard displays. The trouble began at. Muncie. A member of the Salvation Army at that point, seeing popular attention di- rected toward the circus billboards, de- cided that they furnished the best me« dium by which to introduce his Scrip- tural texts to the public. \Vithin the next half hour those circus displays were completely metamorphosed. The picture of an aeronaut falling in a par- achute from a balloon bore the in- scription, “Sinner, you are bound for hell. Go the other way.” The. long neck of the giraffe was labelled, “The straight and narrow way is the best.” The snake-charmer, wrapped in the folds of a monster serpent, admonished to "Shun the deadly cup; it stingeth like an adder.” An acrobat, turning a somersault in midair, apparently grasped in his hand the question, "Where will you spend your eternity ?” The lion-tamer, in a cage with sev- eral beasts which apparently were about to make a meal of him, was ad- monished to “Watch and pray.” It is safe to say that no circus bills 11' er attracted m01e general attention or caused more comment. —Chicagc Times-Herald. Literary Taste. The literary taste usually manifests itself at an early age in a passion for books. Many men of letters have be- gun to read almost as soon as they be- gan to talk. To the youthful enthusiast in literature his adoration for favorite works and authors is an emotion as ‘ profound and sacred as that of a reli- gious experience or a first love affair.

Queer Fun for Sportsmen in the Rocky Mountains. “You may talk about hunting deer and elk and mountain goats, but for real sport horse hunting is destined to lay all such shooting in the shade in the near future.” This remark was made by one of the cattle kings of Utah. Contlnuing he said: “In the Rocky Mountain ranges there are now roaming about fully 2, 000, 000 horses that may be said to belong to no one. “In the Rocky Mountains in Mon- tana, Utah, Nevada and elsewhere it is now generally acknowledged that range horses are a public nuisance, and they ought to be \exterminated. They eat up the grass needed for the cattle, and they are as hard on a .range as sheep. The horses eat grass right down to the roots. thus in dry weather completely destroying the range they graze over. “The sport of hunting horses is en- couraged by stockmen, and can be in- dulged in with impunity. It is de- stined, I think, to become very popu- lar, as it is exciting and somewhat dangerous."—Detroit Free Press. The Bicycle in Japan. Mr. Gilbeit must 1"‘eu1itc “The Mi kado." Japan has adopted the bicycle. No more graceful, posing, diagonal at- titudes; those three little maids now scorch home from school on pneumatic tyres, says Saturday Review. The Tokio post-office officials new ride with impunity, and, according to lat- est information, the metropolitan p-o- lice are sending expensive orders to two local workshops. For not only does Japan ride, but the deft ,fingers of her craftsmen are busy making ma- chines. Moreover, they make them well; for—it sounds incredible, but the statement comes 011 very good author- ity—theYokohama Bicycle Works have lately received an order for one hun- dred machines from America! and the American machinists are supposed to be licking creation in the bicycle busi3 ness. There is a melancholy sense of disillusion about it all. The lover of Oriental strangeness may now give up Japan in despair. It was bad enough when 1110 Mikado’s army took to trou- sers and torpedoes; it was worse when his subjects descended to common journalism; but with the advent of the bicycle the most fatal link with the 11npi1-1111'cs1111e West has been forged.

That, dolls can serve a purjosc be- side amusing a child is shown by the following anecdote told by Major John G. Bourke, formerly on the staff of General Crook, the great Indian fight- 121'. It was in Arizona. while the general was try ing to put a band of Apaches back on the lese1vation. He had been chasing them for a month without suc- cess. and he did not think it right to openly attack them, since they had committed no overt act, although no one knew how soon they vould.

Fractured Limb—A Practical Test of the Ambulatory Bandage. That a man Who is unlucky enough to fall and break a leg doesn’t any longer have to spend weeks impris- oned in bed. waiting for the fractured limb to mend but may be up and about sometimes within twenty-four hours after the accident was made plain to the doctors assembled in the surgical section of the Academy of Medicine in- Vest Forty~third street, New York. ’A workman who fallen off a scaffold a fortnight before walked about the room without the aid of crutches and with only the slightest perceptible limp, al~ though his leg, 'hich had been broken, was still done up in plaster of paris. The ambulatory system has been in use in Berlin for some time. It is simple. In the case of the fracture of either of the- bones of the lower leg the patient is placed in a recumbent position and the injured bones are set in place and bound securely with an ordinary muslin roller bandage. No cotton whatever is used in the bind- ing. Outside of this roller a plaster of Paris gauze bandage. is wound. This“ burdens and leaves the limb incased in a plaster cast which generally extends from the toe tip to the knee. joint. It holds the broken parts of the limb im- movable, and hardcns rapidly. The best quality of cast and bandage is al< ways employed, and the patient is en« couraged to walk without crutches, af- ter twenty-four hours. Care is taken, of course, to avoid'all possibility of in- flammation setting in. The reason the patient can walk so soon is that the weight of the body is supported upon the upper part‘of the ambulatmy cast, which acts as a crutch. D1. Fiske cited a case where a pa- tient 72 years old had been able to walk within eight days after the appli- cation of the ambulatory splint. The healing of the bones goes on while the. patient is walking about just as if he were lying down, as the fractured limb is in no way disturbed by the ex— ercise. In fact, the reuniting of the fractured parts is hastened, and the stiffness of joints resulting from the old method of keeping a patient in bed and quiet is greatly reduced—New York Sun. A SOUTHERN SHERlFF W'ishing to Save the Jail, lilo Made No Resistance to the Lynching. “Speaking of lynchings," said Jen- kins, “remipds me of an incident that occurred in one of the country par- ishes of Mississippi several years ago. I was making a trip through a certain section of that state when the com- munity was startled by a peculiarly atrocious murder and assault. The of- fair took the people by the ears, and for a few days, or until the culprit was captured, there was a perfect storm of fury on the part of the inhabitants of the county in which the murder took place. The culprit was a negro, and it happened that the parish of— ficials were the first to lay hands on the fellow. He was conveyed, with some show of secrecy, to the jail and locked up. W'ell, it didn’t take long for the news to spread, and then. the people, as usual, began to make ready for the lynching; They did not seem to consider the matter that the negro was in the. hands of the county—not a bit of it. I was curious to see how the affair was to turn out, and some little while bcfom the mob started for the jail I set out for that institution. When I reached the location, imagine my sur- prise when I‘ found the sheriff calmly seated on the front steps of the jail with a rifle in his hands. ~Alongside of him was the negro, with fear dc- picted on his face. Both were watch- ing the road. Approaching the sherifi, I asked him why he did not have the negro locked up and if he didn’t know. the mob was coming to lynch him. “ ‘Oh, yes,’ he answered, ‘I know the boys are coming, and that’s why I’ve' got the “nigger" ready. You see,’ he remarked, apologetically, ‘I know the fellers are bound to have the “nig- ger,” and then the jail is brand new.’ “While I was pondering over this reply the sherifi added. ‘And it would be a pity to have the new doors broken up.’ ”—New Orleans Times- Democrat. An American Luxury “The thing I especially enjoyed af- ter a somewhat lengthy sojourn on the other side was a real genuine Am- erican grate fire,” commented the traveler. “In London I felt as if I was burning something very precious with the landlady charging Sixpence a s'cuttle for coal. I remember sitting around a stove in an English hotel. The weatherwas cold and the coal in the stove bunched together. I took a poker and stirred it up. - “ ‘That makes it burn faster,’ mentedthe landlord, gravely. “ ‘That’s just what I want,’ I plied. , “A red faced. hearty Englishman broke in: ‘You Americans are deu- cedly thin-blooded, don‘t you know.’ ” com- I’C‘ Unpardonable Afl‘ront. “I hear that Goldy, is going to take a company to Cuba and help the insur- gents.
