CIRCUS LIFE MORE IDEAL W IT WAS An Old Time Acrobat Says Youths Arc Not So Cruelly Driven. ChlraRo, March 13. "Boys have a pretty caay time of It nowudaya," said n old circuit acrobat sojourning in Chicago recently. "When I began my work a boy was treated like so much oft metal that had to be hammered Into Bhai. If be missed a trick he usually Rot a cuff at the aido of the head, and If ho didn't pick up after that that he some times was left with black and blue marks. This is all changed, and I am glad of It. Youngsters In these days are coddled and looked after like so many tender plants that would wither and split under a stiff lake breeze. "I was a German turner at the age of five and at the age of ten the bars and trapeze wero playthings for me that made the old folks' eyes stand out with pleasure. When a showman came along and offered to take me with him my head nearly spun off Its pivot. The old folks wero wild at the Idea, and It took a long time to talk them Into a belief that it would bo a good thing for mo to hook up with this nhowman, who would be responsible for me. 1 think the old people were brought around more by the thought that I would run away if they didn't consent, and that would make the future a whole lot worse. Starts With Circus. "Well sir, I don't think my mind ever had so many pleasant pictures in it as at this time, when looking .ahead at rthe Imagined chnrms of a circus performer's career I took to the work like a duck takes to water, and, although I saw a good deal of the oldfashioned method of treating show Juveniles. I must say that I was treated pretty well and had no great cause for complaint. I grew fast and strong and took prido In accomplishing new tricks. "Before I was twenty-one 1 married and before long little ones came into tny care. I liked (he work and began to think of making my boys professional acrobats. How to do this without any of tho harshness of which I had been a witness and which was a tradition of tho business made me think a good deal. 1 got the boys Interested In their work by telling them of the great rewards success would bring them and by winning their confidence. "The confidence of a child is a wonderful thing and will make them forRet all fear. By tho old way of teaching them when a boy made a slip he got a blow with a stick as well as a hard fall. This would take the courage out of a man or a beast, so what could you expect of a child? I took' just tho other course and used encouraging words. "Of course, the great thing was to avoid accidents, and I watched every move and took every precaution to this end. When I took the littio fellow on my shoulders and taught him to standerect while I reeled around.

It I felt thero was going to be a fall I forgot the wheel and myself and everything to save the child. In this way the little fellow learns that his protector's eye Is ever open for him, and for him only, and he gains confidence with every effort. Mechanical Devices Used. "In these days mechanical devices are used to prevent accident. Although performers say it is better not to make uso of these, as they are apt to make the learner lean too much upon outside aid, they are generally found rigged up in training quarters. One of these Is called a 'mechanic.' It is a body harness, which leaves the arms and legs free, and from which u ropo extends to a pulley on the celling, thence along to another pulley, and down Into the hands of a strong ma-1 Stipulator. "The first public exhibition repays the child for all the hard work and discouragement of the training. The music, the light, the enormous crowds of attentive people and the applause which comes after the best feats, sink Into the Juvenile neature with delight too sweet for words. He feels that after all tho many months of hard work and tho dangers of It, he has been able to do something which not only lifts him above all those of his own age, but makes the grown people marvel. Starts Bank Account. "It makes the blood tingle and makes future training for him a pastime rather than a penance, and when he opens a little bank account of his own and feels that he is on the high road to Independence, It not wealth, he is thankful to those who took so much Interest In his behalf, lie shows it tnoro and more by the zeal of his practice. From this time on, a father must look out sharply lest the enthusiastic youngster overtax his strength and grow stale. The boy now Is full of steam and moves around as if the world wero an easy thing for him. He Is a long way from one that has to be driven to spilt wood or hoe iu a pota to patch. "Of course, boys must study some. lut that after all Is not the most inv portant thing. Give the boy a good, strong body, and the study will come easily enough later, and ho will do his studying better. Two or three hours every morning my lads are busy with their books, and they are always glad to get at them. Their bodies are fctrong, tho flesh on their cheeks Is firm and rose, and they never have any sickness." In the Future, rassengtr Any danger on this trip, cap? Captain Well, there's a pirate balloon above us aul a submarine under us, snd we're carrying twenty tons of dynamite. Outside of that there's no causa for nervousness. Baltimore Star.

WHEAT PROSPECTS IN COUNTRY GOOD Winter Has Been Favorable One Now Is Time for Grape Pruning. BY WALTER RATLIFF. At the horticulturist meeting Saturday thero was a general discussion of the pruning of the grape, the spraying of fruit trees and the general fruit conditions of this locality. In the absence of the president, Thomas Klleman presided. In agriculture, reports indicated that the farmer's prospects were most promising at present. An unusually favorable winter to growing wheat, rye, alfalfa and clover has just passed, and these plants are in excellent condition. Usually the sudden freezes following heavy winter rains "heave out" these growing plants, which often materially lessens the chances for the succeeding crops. At this time, but little "heaved up" plants are found. There was quite a discussion on the care, propagation and pruning of the grape. Many of tho horticulturists as well as other individuals of the county, grow grapes of greater or less quanti ties, being pood judges of this luscious fruit. Although some difference of opinion exists relative to care of vines, yet many unite in the propagation of good varieties. These consist of the black, white and red colored sorts, and singularly enough a black variety, the Worden, Is considered best, even excelling In quality the Concord. The Merrlmac Is also one of the choice black kinds to grow in this locality. Of tho white kinds, the Niagara and Pocklington should not be omitted, while the Brighton and the Delaware are considered the best red grapes grown In this section of the state. Is Pruning Time Now. In pruning, most agree that now is the time, being sure to be through cut ting before the sap begins to flow. Two and not more than three buds on the young laterals should be left; this insures plenty of chances for both vine and fruit. As to multching, many different sub stances are used. Some prefer the fctraw, others leaves and others coarse corn-stalk. Where wood ashes are em ployed, it Is believed to not only aid In moisture retention, but the potash contained therein sweetens the flavor of the fruit. In propagating the grape, layering Is employed, by placing the young laterals along the surface of the ground and covering with straw, or by cuttings containing about 4 buds. These cuttings are placed in the soil half their length, at an angle of 43 degrees. At the joints, rootlets appear, and new vines are soon assured, which can be subsequently transplanted. Old vines that have proven to have poor fruiting qualities, should be sawed off at the surface of the soil, to insure new bhoots. enabling the vine to take on new lilfe. resulting in more vigorous growth and better fruiting. Strawberry culture received its share of discussion, as several new settings are beinjr arranged by the members of the society. The secretary was instructed to en-J deavor to secure an allotment of flower and vegetable seeds from the government. Hew to Stop Swearing. When 8ir Richard Hawkins ship, the lalnty, was off the iuinea coast It caught fire and had a narrow escape from destruction. The sequel, as told by John Barnett in "Fighting Admirals." was curious: "The men thanked tJod for their deliverance and as a mark of gratitude took occasion to banish swearing from the little fleet. By general consent it was ordained that a rainier, or ferrule, should be carried by any one who was 'taken with an oath' and that he should give the next who swore a stroke with It. At the end of the day he who had the ferrule received three strokes from tho captain or the master. Within tbree days there was no wore swearlnx aboard the ships."

TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE IS M SALARY Commissioners Allow Official $1,500 a Year and His Expenses. The salary of Wayne township trustee, James Howarth has been increased to $1,500 a year by the board of Wayne county commissioners, the office now being a salaried one instead of a per diem office. The reason for increasing the salary of the trustee is that there are now over 26,000 in habitants in the township and tho du ties of the trustee have been increas ed to such an extent that a higher salary is justified in the opinion of the commissioners, in order that com petent officers may be obtained for the position. By the 1910 census Richmond had a population of over 23,000 and by the 1900 census the population of tho township outside of the city was over 3,000. The 1910 census of the township outside of- the city has not been reported, but there is every indication that it has not decreased any in population. By an opinion of attorney general Honan the commissioners were authorized to determine the population of the township by the census of the city in 1910 and the township in 1900v which together made over 26,000 inhabitants. Ten years ago when the trustee's salary was taken up for consideration, it was found that the population of the township and the city combined was below 25,000. Up to now, the trustee's pay has been $2 per day, for each day actually put in service. On each working day of the year the trustee has been in his office and his salary accordingly was $626 per year. In addition the county allowed the trustee $500 a year as overseer of the poor in the township, but as the trustees had to employ an office assistant and pay him from the amount received in salary and as overseer of the poor, when the end of the year came, the trustees found they had not realized anything from the office, more than a bare living. By the new arrangement the trustee receives $1,500 for his own services, is allowed $2 per day for an office assistant and $3 a week for a stenographer, and $100 a year for traveling expenses, making the total expense of maintaining the office about $2,400 a year. The duties of the trustee are numerous, including looking after the poor,, the schools in the township outside of the city, township accounts and the like. He is under a $32,000 bond, $2,000 more than the county treasurer. Atlantic & 50 STAMPS with one lb. Tea, 70c 20 STAMPS with one lb.

(American News Service) Viierbo, March 13. While members of the Neapolitan Camorra were fight- . ing like wild beasts in their cells In" the monastery prison today, govern-1 ment officers under the direction of Cavaliere Bianchi, judge of the assite

court continued their hunt for jurors. iere Banchi ascertained they were closely affiliated with the Camorra organization. The panel probably will be completed today. A riot was precipitated In the Jail this morning when Maria Standardo, the only woman among the prisoners, taunted Alfa no, the leader and his cell mates for having failed to kill Giovane Abatemaggio, their betrayer. When the prisoners were taken into the corridors for their dally exercise L free-for-all fight resulted which was quelled only when the fire department turned a hose on the rioters and drove them back into their cells. There tho fighting continued until the firemen were again called in and nearly , drowned the combatants like rats in a trap. Father Vitozzo, the "guardian angel . of the Camorra," is seriously ill. It is said that he took poison smuggled to him by a bribed soldier. FIGHT WITH DEVIL Is Advice Given Prisoners by Rev. Huber. "An enemy hath done this," was the subject of the sermon of the Rev. C. Huber pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran church; at the Sunday afternoon services at the county jail for the benefit of the inmates. He was assisted by R. J. Wigmore and a chorus of nine voices. He developed his sermon from quotations from the Bible and the following questions, "What is the enemy? What did the enemy, do? What is the enemy doing yet? What is the re- . suit of the enemy's work? and How to combat the enemy?" The devil, he declared was the enemy,' and showed how the enemy, always on the lookout for a victim, sowed wild oats, the seed springing up and ruining the crop. He said that in order to overcome the Influence of the devil, it was necessary for one to be in constant conflict with him. Dangerous Smoking. Natives of Central America are ln veterate users of pimento tobacco, which they make from dried pimento berries or allspice. It invariably gives the smoker a sore throat and often causes cancer of the tongue. The natives of South Africa are affected In a peculiar manner by . the smoke from the dried leaves of the camphor plant. The smoker trembles with fright at nothing, weeps bitterly and uses all sorts of words which do not in the least express his meaning. The wild dagga, another South African plant, poisons slowly those who use 14 Closed Him Up. "I never permit myself to beeom the slave of a habit." "Don't you?
