WORLD'S GREATEST RIDING ACT
ENGAGED FOR BIG STATE FAIR
The European war la responsible for
the engagement of George Holland and
Rose Dock rill the world's greatest
equestrians, to appear daily at th«
eighth annual Oklahoma State Fair
and Exposition. Oklahoma City, Sept.
22 to Oct. 3, 1914.
When word reached America that
May Wirth, who was engaged months
ago to come to the Oklahoma State
Fair and Exposition this fall. Is ma-
rooned In Europe, unable to return to
this country in time to fill her engago-
Holland and Dock rill are equestrians
who have been playing at the New
York Hippodrome for the last two
years. When the Hippodrome closed
this summer, the act was transferred
to the White City at Chicago, where
it has been the sensation of the year
in the Windy City. They have four
Arabian horses that are nothing short
of superb, while the costumes are
beautiful In the extreme The two
principals, Holland and Dockrill. are
said to be supreme casters of the reins
and their act will be one of the un-
ments her booking manager at once
made a deal with Holland and Dock-
rill to call off their proposed trip
abroad and remain in America. Hol-
land and Dockrill were scheduled to
leave for Europe about the time Miss
Wirth had ^planned to leave Russia.
It was a case of "money talks" and
the result will be a more expensive
act than had been promised the pat-
ions of Oklahoma's great fair this
year.
No Puzzel for Her
(By Allie Younger.)
World's greatest equestrians just engaged to put on their wonderful act
at the Oklahoma State Fair and Exposition, Oklahoma City, Sept.
22 to Oct. 3.
[usual features of the Oklahoma State
I Fair and Exposition.
j In addition to Holland and Dockrill,
there will be many other high class
'acts at the State Fair this year, includ-
ing Power's Hippodrome elephants*,
! the New Brundage Shows, Thaviu'a
band and operatic singers; a cabaret
jtrio and tango team; Louis Disbrow
land other famous auto racing cham-
pions; high class harness and run-
Ining races, a big football gave and
115,000 wonderful exhibits.
"'Yes, sir,' she said. 'Thank you.'
"It struck me then that there was
no occasion 'or her to thank me for
requesting her to perform her regular
routine of duties, but I didn't give the
matter a second though until three
weeks later, when a representative of
the benevolent society called to col-
lect $10 for the ball tickets.
" 'But I didn't use the tickets,' I
said. 'I don't believe in charity.'
" 'I beg your pardon,' he said. 'They
were used. Here are the numbers
sent you and here are the tickets
bearing the same number which were
taken in at the door. If you didn't
want them you ought to have returned
them to us at once, as requested in
our communication to you.'
" 'But I did return them,' 1 replied.
Then I called in the stenographer.
" 'Miss Drew,' I said, 'didn't 1 give
you two ball tickets some time ago
to be returned to the benevolent so-
ciety?'
" 'Why, no,' she said, 'you didn't say
anything about returning them. You
simply ?aid I knew what to do with
them.'
"'And what did you do with them?'
I asked.
" 'I went to the ball,' said she. 'I
thought that was what you meant.'
"I was furious, but I saw the benev-
olent society had the drop on me, an«l
I paid the $10. '''he worst of it Is the
girl seemed so sweet and Innocent and
sorry that I haven't had the courase
either to discharge her or deduct the
money from her salary. I can't make
up my mind to this day whether she
really thought I meant to make her a
present

WOULD MAKE A POLITICIAN
The sharp-no6ed man looked dubi-
ously after the retreating figure of
the stenographer.
"I'm in a quandry what to do with
that girl," he said. "I don't know
whether to fire her or raise her sal-
ary. I don't know what to make of
her. She is the quintessence of either
Innocence or deceit, I can't figure out
which. Any way, she's got me into a
pretty pickle.
"About two months ago some mis-
guided member of a certain benevolent
society sent me two tickets for a char-
ity ball. I was surprised to get these
tickets, for I supposed everybody who
knew me knew my sentiments in re-
gard to charity.
"I don't believe in it. I don't be-
lieve in giving things away. I have to
work for every cent I have and I ex-
pect other people to do the same
thing. To my mind these folks that
dance for charity and sing for charity
and cut all sorts of didoes for benev-
olent purposes are only degrading the
masses they are supposed to benefit.
1 had expressed this opinion bo often
that I was amazed that anybody
should ask me to countenance a
benevolent scheme by buying tickets
for a ball. Naturally, 1 hastened to
send the tickets back. I put them into
an envelope and handed them to the
stenographer.
'"Here, Miss Drew," I said, 'you
know what to do with these.'
Thought He Liked Flattery,
One of the wittiest occupants of the
Judicial bench in England is Judge
Rentoul, the North-country Irishman,
who presides at the famous court,
known as Old Bailey. The judge
has just been telling another good
story against himself. Once he went
on a political mission to Wales, to
tell the voters what to do. He spoke
first, and in English. All the subse-
quent speakers, however, used Welsh
as the medium of their thoughts. As
a matter of policy he applauded
strongly whenever there was a clap
among the audience, although he
wuld not understand a single word
that was said. "I learned afterwards,"
said Judge Rentoul, "that every time I
applauded a speaker it was when he
had paid a strong personal compli-
ment, either to myself or to my
speech."
She Was Right at That.
"Who can tell me what a cape is?"
queried the teacher of the junior
class in geography. "A cape," replied
a bright little miss, "is a coat that
hasn't any sleeves."
Covers Some Distance
A reasonably active man walks
about 297,000 mllis in eighty-four
years, just walking about his home
and place of business.
Readin' Not Wrintin'
A little girl, visiting away from
home, received a joint letter from her
parents. Papa's half was typewritten,
mamma's postscript written by hand.
Said Marion in reply: "Dear dad, the
letter from you and muther jest came,
the part from you was nicest, 'cause
it was readin' and hers was writin'."
All Waste in Coal Done Away With
Waste in coal has practically been
eliminated. Even the waste from the
culm-bank washers is now being uti-
lised, for it is flushed into the mines
and party fills old workings where
it cements together and furnishes sup-
port to the roof when the coal previ-
ously left for pillars is removed.
Destructive Golf Bug
"British scientists have discovered
a golf bug that destroys the grass on
the links." "PBhaw, they're nothing
new! We had a lot of trouble with
them at our golf club, but we got out
of the difficulty by posting signs say-
ing 'Please replace turf cuts.'"—

Little Willie's Capacity for Sticking to
One Idea Singularly Like Way
of Rabid Partisan.
Tbe late Adlal E. Stevenson." said
a Republican leader of Bloomington,
"hadn'L after all much use for poli-
tics. He once explained to me why
this was.
"He said that party politicians be-
lieved their side to be always right,
and the other side to be always wrong.
Whatever the other side advocated, it
was hosslble and infernal; whatever
their own side advocated was holy.
"He said the partisan couldn't un-
derstand that you might arrive at the
the right thing by more ways than
one—and thus the partisan was like
the urchin whose teacher said:
" 'Willie, what does six plus four
make?"
" 'Eleven.'
"'No. Try again.'
" 'Twelve.'
"'No.'
" 'Thirteen.'
" 'No, no. no You're Just guessing.
But why couldn't you have guessed
that six plus four makes ten?"
" 'Because It don't make ten,' said
Willie Five and five makes ten—I
remember that.'"

Mr Fred Kerr, the actor, was play-

nothing more to be done—except
one thing. Seizing his bag of clubs,
he walked dramatically to the lake's
edge. Then in a broken voice be
said:
"Old pond, have these as well." and
turning, with a sigh, walked home.

Good Eating.
"Metchnikoff, the Metchnikoff cf
sour milk fame, is soon to celebrate in
PariB," said a Paris correspondent on
furlough in New York, "his seventieth
birthday.
"Since his sixtieth birthday, when he
began his sour-milk regime, Metchni-
koff haB not aged. On the contrary, he
has become rejuvenated.
"To the committee that has in
charge the splendid honors of his
birthday celebration, Metchnikoff gave
some advice on the benefits of frugal
eating—the benefits of taking no alco-
hol, very little meat, and an abundance
of well cooked green vegetables. And
he ended bis lecture with this crystal
of wisdom:
" 'Good eating makeB more pessi-
mists than bad luck.'"

WELL HE MADE THEM LAUGH
Speaker at Banquet Intended to Be
Humorous, and Quite Uncon-
sciously He Was.
Henry returned from the dinner and
faced his expectant wife with a proud
and smiling face.
"Yes, thank you, my dear,'' he said,
in answer to her anxious inquiry.
"The dinner waB most pleasanL and
my speech was the success of the
evening."
"What did you say, darling?"
"Oh, well, 1 can't remember ex-
actly, you know. But until I spoke
all the speeches had fallen rather flat,
so I thought 1 would give them a little
humor And I succeeded, too! I had
hardly Bald more than six words when
there was a pleased giggle round the
huge table. In a few minutes I had
them all rolling about with laughter,
and when at last I sat down the ap-
plause was tremendonB— tremendous!"
At this point Henry removed hlB
overcoat.
"I am glad your speech waB such
a success, dear," answered his wife,
dutifully. "But next time you have to
speak in public would It not be better
to put a waistcoat under your dress-
coat. especially when you wear a
dickey?"
Invltstion and Answer.
Mr F. C. Phillips in his book. "My
Varied Life,'' tells how the late Sir
George Honeyman, an infamous
writer, sent down from the bench to
a friend of bis, a leading Q. C., a
little note. Not able to make head
nor tail of it, the barrister scribbled
something equally undecipherable
upon a half-sheet of note paper, and
passed it up to the Judge. Sir George
looked annoyed, and when the court
rose, said to his friend: "What do
you mean by this? 1 asked you to
"come and dine with me tonight."
"Yes.' said tbe barrister, "and I re-
plied that 1 should be extremely glad
to do so."

No Menace to Sanatorium.
Dr. Edward L. Trudeau, who built
the first tuberculosis sanatorium in
the United States In 1885. Bays:
"When 1 bought the flrst land on
which the Adirondack Cottage sanato-
rium is built, 1 paid $25 an acre for It,
but the price was then thought ab-
surdly high. My last purchase of five
acres cost me |5,000. To my knowl-
edge, there has never been an employe
who came to the sanatorium in sound
health who developed tuberculosis
while there; and a sanatorium can no
more endanger the health of the neigh-
borhood in which it 1b built, even if
tbe residences are at its very gates,
than it could if it were placed on top
of a high mountain miles away from
habitation."
In Demand.
A Louisville man telle of an incident
during the sessions held in his city of
a Sunday school convention with dele-
gates from all tbe states. In answer
to the roll-call of the states reports
were verbally given by the various
state chairmen. When Texas waB
called a big man stepped into the aisle
and in stentorian tones exclaimed:
"We represent the Imperial state of
Texas. The flrst white woman born
in Texas is still living—she has now
a population of over three million."
Whereupon a voice from the gallery
cried out in clarion tones: "Send that
woman to Idaho—we need her."
