CONVERSATION "DON'TS
Don't Indulge in personalities. They
invariably return worse than they
started out.
Don't mention family feuds. It em
barrasses the listener, and you are sura
to regret it.
Don't talk of the cost of things. It
gives the rich a chance for boastful
nesa and may be embarrassing to the
poor.
Don't tell your personal Interests
occupations, hopes or aspirations. No
body wants to hear them, and you give
your dignity a mortal stab.
Don't discuss children. If you hive
any the chances are you are boring
those who have not. If you have none,
you are sure to be mortally wounding
those who have.
Don't discuss dress. The lady whose
evening gown you are scoring may
have come direct from Paris, wearing
the newest thing, and the whole sub
ject is a hopeless one anyway-Har

stature ana T2nres.
According to a paper read by Dr.
Snrubsnll before the British associa
tion, sufferers from tonsilttis, rheuma
tlsm and heart disease are of a higher
stature, and sufferers from tuberculo
sis, nervous and malignant diseases of
a lower stature than healthy Individ
uals.
It appears that blond sufferers from
pulmonary tuberculosis respond to
treatment better than brunettes, while
in diseases of the heart the positions
are reversed. It is believed that in
successive generations of city life stat
ure shows a progressive diminution and
that there is an increase in brunette
traits with each generation passing
from rural to urban lije. With in
creasing length of residence there is
an increase of morbidity among the
different classes of Londoners.

SdV" asked Mrs. Spuddingtoa. "I was
talking to an agent yesterday, and aft
er what he told me it seems to me that
every woman who haa children ought
to take out insurance. Who can tell
What might happen to your husband?
Th agent mentioned a case that was
vary pathetic. The husband had bean
carrying heavy insurance for several
years, but they never thought of hav
ing the wife's life Insured. Like so
many of the rest of us I suppose they
thought that in case ha was left alone
with their little ones ha would be able
to go on earning a living for them just
the same as before or perhaps it never
occurred to them that he might not be
the first to go. Well, anyway, the wife
died and left him with three children
to care for. She hadn't been gone six
months before he was taken down with
paralysis made utterly helpless so
there were those poor, helpless tots
with nobody to provide for them and
hardly a dollar laid away to be used
for their support. Think how much
more sensible it would have been if the
wife had carried at least a few thou
sand dollars' worth of insurance in
stead of leaving It all for the husband
to do. I'm going to take out a policy
right away. No one can ever tell what
may happen."
"Tea, that's all very true," replied
Mrs. Gidger, as she wiped away a sym

SERIOUSLY STABBED,
A Fearful Outcome of a Drunken Brawl
Probably Fatal Result.
Last Saturday evening two white men,
named Dudley, father and son, were
laid to be Intoxicated at Maysvllle and
ware in a quarrelsome mood. They
were reported as daring everybody to
fight and were making themselves fool
lib to everybody.
The two men had gone to such an ex
tant that another white man named
Morton, who had been drinking some
but was said to have not been very
drank got Into the mood also and want-
ad to fight and picked out tha elder Dud
ley as tha man with whom he wanted to
battle.
The two men got together and Mor
ton was getting a severe drubbing, it is
said, when Morton' son, a lad of 14
yean, attempted to gat his fathsr away
from Dudley. Angered at the boy's in
terference tha younger Dudley grabbed
the Morton boy and threw him vlolen-ly
to the ground. The boy arose and went
after his assailant In s vigorous manner
and leaping upon tha man pulled his
pocket knife oat and stabbed him in tha
back and In the breast. Tha latter
wound is just above the heart and while
n&t deep it it of a very serious na
ture. Farther particulars of the affair are
difficult to obtain. The trial was set tor
Tuesday but no tiding have bean re
ceived as to tha disposition of tha case.
The story of the fight and the scabbing
is related by an aye witness.

TBI GRAND SPRCTACULAR EVENT
Cr id of Sp c a-
ioi&
The oiic-1, th l nn'ei prise which f so
many tears has teen ih am til boy'
paradise and th grown person's I mil of
ad m ration for physical prow, has
once again vltited Near Bern. To say
that the Forepaugh and twlls circus was
tnjoyed timing every minute of its
performance would not be expre-sng
tha esse half strong encugb.
The Immense tarougs that vi!ted the
show was c'azed ty the wondaifn
a hlevementi of which the performers
ware posst sued There never has been
a circus In thi city that has come nta ei
to the Ideal ot what r.uch an enterprise
ought to be than dil tba Foreiaugh
circus yesterday. It was most aijo
able In every way.
A vary lnierasttng fcatute of the grand
march was th different i quads of sol
diery meant to Illustrate tha various
costumes worn by American
colonial times to tha present
The music wu furnished by W N mcr
rick'a Military bind.
The three lings had a tenden cy to dazzle
i hi th spectator at first but begot used
to tha "rubbering" In a a abort time and
seemed to enjoy the strenuous life when
it waa exarcleaed by others for Im benefit
and auiueement.
The liogs bad soma act going on all
the time and each act ws done with
perfection which was amazing a
well as pleasing.
Tne performing animals which ware
introduced at the first were perfect
marvel?, especially the elephant!- Tuey
seemed to display almost humin In
telligence and the sight of their great
clumsy bodies doing apparently Im
possible tricks was cna which all balled
with admiration. In another similar
act, the equestrian cake walk t.was,(a
wonder. The horses pirouetted up and
down the track bearing their rider end
kept perfect time to the cake walk mu
sic. It waa a very amusing act.
The other esquestrUn tricks were per
formed in a brilliant manner, A new
act was introduced by the famous Le
cti"s n family la a novel and astound
ing way, driving a Parisian brake to a
doable team and the performers making
daring summersauli leaps from carriage
to horse and return and also leaping
on and off each others shoulders with
unerring accuracy.
The sensational loop the loop bicycle
riding act of Diavolo's was one which
required a great deal of nerve. Dlavolo
is the only person doing this act.
A very pleasing feature was the De-
Forrest dog show in whit h aoma of he
best trained dogs in the world took purl'
Their intelligence and ability to perform
difficult tricks called forth many ex
clamations of surprise. Notable among
these was that of a small poodle dog
ollmbiog a high ladder and making a
jump to the net below.
One of the most interesting acts of the
circus snd probably not reproduced in
any other show is the performance of
the Aurora Zouaves. They are undoubt
edly the best trained military company
In the world and the evolutions through
which thev weat were done with won
derful skill and accuracy.
The scaling of the wall by which they
concluded the drill Caused much oom-
Jment.
I The work of the clowns waa more ap
preciated than at any other circus that
has ever been bere. They were really
fanny and were very agile to. This fea
ture waa splendid. One of the beat jokes
perpetrated by one of these gentry waa
the irrepressible before the performance
elown, the one who amuses the people
wnile the crowd ia gathering. He had a
supposed to be kodak and wandered aim
lesaly around among the arrival and
whan he law the right party or parties
he would offer to take their pictures
without cost. He posed hla subjects ar
tiatlcally and when all wu ready he
would leave the unsuspecting "sitters"
standing posing for their picture until
they had perceived by the cheers and
laughter of those around that they had
been made the butt of s joke.
The menagerie was large snd varied
in its make up. It carried many of tha
finest specimens of lions, tigers, and oth
er wild animals seen in any menageiia.
Strange animal inhabitants of Asia and
Africa were represented which firmed
an Interesting and Instructive exhibit.
Space prevent going Into further de
falk of this excellent enterprise. The
performance laated two hours and from
start to finish it waa one round of amaze
ment creating enjoyment.
Aa to the attendance it h s very con
servative estimate to place the number
of spectators at 8,000 There have been
estimates made 12,000 wete present.
