Boynton of the Lexington Avenue Bantist church praised State's Attorney Healy, United state- District Attorney Sims and meago xaw and Order Leasrue for their activity in driving evil out of Chi cago, bpecial mention was made of the crusade against "white slaves." The pastor censured the city as follows wnai a disgrace it is that the states attorney and the United States district attorney must be aDDealed to to entorce the laws that should be con stantly applied applied by the noli arm of this city." "The statesman takes the long view' of men and things; the politician the 'short' and selfish view." This declaration was mada bv t?v Austen K. De Blois at the First Baptist church. "Both these men were present at tne convention last week." he conwo u. jricsiuBHi nooseveit ts a statesman when he dictates to a thousand dignified delegates." Why Are W So Hard? The following motto was on the wall of a woman's bedroom: "Let us take hands and help each other to-day, because we are alive together." She is a bride of a year, and that is the sentiment with which she fur xiished her bedroom and tries to carry out in her everyday life. The hard blow we give with a word, the mean thought or harsh Judgment recoils on ourselves. No woman who is hard and critical is happy. 'Take hands and help each other today" is the sure road to contentment and happiness. Value of Olive Oil. It has been said that olive oil Is good for some people to take all the time and for all people to take some of the time. It Is a sovereign remedy for stomach trouble. It fills out the hollows and builds up the system and relieves aches and pains and the twinges of rheumatism. A Hard Name. A woman author of Washington has sued a critio for saying that she "has played the part of a feminine paerophorr among the non-scientific aedids of Washington." We don't know what this means, but it is libelous per 6e and the young woman ought to get $1,000,000 damages. An Advantage for .Sure. "So Jack's married a divorcee.

RANDALL'S jH BEST CATCH. By Colin 5. Collins. Copyright, 13C8, by Associated literary Press. Winter quarters had wakened from its long nap. Over in the car sheds men were touching up the brilliant advance cars with vermllllon and gold leaf. In the wagon shop stood rows of chariots resplendent in gilt and crim son. In the loft last touches were beiDg given to the "bier tops," the huge canvas structures which went to make up the city of tents. From animal house and training barn could be heard the sounds of activity as trainers put horses and elephants through their paces, while the performers freshed up their acts. In three weeks the show would take to the road, opening in the south to escape the frosts and to get an additional month of "season." Caley Randall's appearance in the ring barn was the signal for a general stoppage of work on the part of those wno had been with the show the sea son befora Randall had been a cen eral favorite, and even the equestrian mrector, the autocrat of affairs in the ring, came over to greet the newcomer. "ube rest of the boys are here and have your traps all up." he told Calev. with a glance aloft where the trapeze rigging or the Randall-Ransome troupe glittered In the light, filtering through the wire glass. "The other troupe is here." "Who the mischief are they?" demanaea llandall curiously. "I never heard of the Bannard troupe." "Neither did any one else," agreed the director. "They do a ripping good casting act, though, and they'll work well In the big act Come over and 111 Introduce you." He led the way across the tanbark to where stood a little group of men and women curiously regarding his ap proach. Randall was famous In the cir cus world, and the Bannards, accustomed to the drudgery of obscure one nng wagon circuses and small vaudeville performances, looked with awe upon this star of the big show. Some of RandalFs boys were standing with the group; but, after a pleasant nod to his own men and an acknowledgment or the Introduction to the strangers, Randall saw only one of the trouDe. a lithe, graceful girl not yet out of her teens. Bannard hurried to comnllment Ran dall on his work, but Caley scarcely heard him. Ills attention was centered upon this queenly girl with the flash ing black eyes, and when at last be moved on to the dressing room to see that his trunk was all right he turned to his "bearer," who did the catches for nis leaps. 'What was the old chap sayinz?" he asked. "I didn't quite catch." . Clute laughed. "Better get that idea out of your head," he advised. "The girl 13 the whole show with that troupe, and the old man doesn't wont her marrying into another act." -" "You be banged." said Randall. "If you think you're funny I don't mind telling you that you're not." "You agreed to a ro!3(virsaI at 8

5a m ciock, giua Clute. "It's all right, Caley. Td be stuck oa her myself If I wasn't married. Come out and get a bite to eatM Randall followed Clute across the lot to the hotel, where most of the performers stopped, and by 2 they were In practice dress and up In the dome of the practice ring, getting the stiffness out of their joints. It was the custom with the show to mass all the aerial acts into one big troupe for a finish to the show. While the arena was being made ready for the hippodrome races the attention was centered upon the one big act, and in this Bannard's troupe worked with Randall's. A huge Bpecial apparatus was provided for this act, and It was to get used to this that the two acts were to rehearse together. To his delight Caley found that Bannard's daughter did the principal leaping for their act and was to share the narrow perch from which he worked. It was scarcely more than a shelf, high above the ring, but to the gymnasts it was as secure as the ring Itself, and Caley found time to chat with the girl while they worked out the details of the routine of tricks. But once the rehearsal was over and Caley, hurrying Into his street clothes, reached the exit to wait for Grace Bannard he realized that what Clute had said was right Bannard whisked Grace and her sister off to the boarding house where they were stopping before Caley had a chance to Bay a word. But opposition only made him the more determined. There was little time to talk up on the shelf where they rehearsed, for either Caley or the girl was flying through the air while the other rested, and at best conversation was fragmentary. Two weeks passed, and Caley became more and more certain that Ms interest was returned. Evidently Bannard was not Ignorant of the state of affairs, and he redoubled his watchful ness. For years he had played In the small circuses. It was only Grace's work which had enabled him to get with a big show, and he was not minded to lose this advantage the first season out. , borne time, he knew, she would get married, and he would have to go back to the wagon shows where the artists ,had to help with the horses and even a rive a ran to the next stop. MeanWhfle he would enjoy the comoaratlve luxury of the more Important clrcua where "razorbacks were employed' to get up the tent and the performers could spend the night comfortably in the sleeper and not have to reach the lot until breakfast time, . But Caley was not to be kept off. They were having their last rehearsal before the traps were taken down and put aboard the cars. Once the season opened there would be little time for courtshln. and he determined to put

at 9 A. M., and his fate to the test "Next time we work It will be before an audience," he commented as he climbed to the platform to which she already had been hoisted. "No more chance for chats then." "I should 6ay not" she assented, with a smile. "We'll be too busy then." Caley let his swing go and sway across the space. Clute slipped down on his swing to catch the count and a moment later Caley shot across the space, let go of his swing to grasp Clute's hands, pirouette and catch the swing again on its return. Just as he reached the platform Grace shot past him to do her leap. She landed back on the platform presently. "We won't have a chance to talk down below either," Caley went on as unconcernedly as though they had not both risked their necks since the preceding sentence. "I never get a chance to talk to you." "Father doesn't like" she commenced as Caley sprang from the platform. "I know he doesn't" agreed Caley as he swung back and Grace jumped out She was back In a moment and a lesser important member of the troupe did some single trapeze work to rest the stars. "Let's fool papa and get married this evening." he suggested. "I'll be In front of your boarding' house at half past 10, and I'll have It all arranged with the minister." Before he could get his answer the girl shot past him, and he was gone before she had returned. The next few tricks kept them too busy to talk; then came a breathing space, and he urged his cause. He had to make good rise of his time, for the act wa3 drawing to a close, and he could not delay a trick without throwing the entire routine Into confusion. He believed an assent trembled on her lips as he swung out but his heart sank as he swung back to the perch and Grace 6hot past him. This time she would not return to the platform, but would stay on the other side for the "somersault pass," which concluded the act For this Bannard came over to his platform and swung hlra out on the swing, while Clute, from the other side, threw Grace to her father as Caley turned a somersault in the ah and caught Clute's hands the instant after she left him. It was a trick that brought the audience to its feet the year before, and Caley was proud of it for it was his own Invention. The swing was properly; made, and as he threw the somersault he heard a cry below him. It was only the one word Tes." but he knew what it meant He had been accepted la midair, and Grace would meet him that evening. He made his dive to the net and came up with his face wreathed in smiles. "Pretty catch." commented Clute,
