bring to Amer ica members of tho company of Danish girl gymnasts which created a decided sensation by their exercises in the stadium at the Olym pic games In London Several eastern educators who witnessed these per formances of the Danish girls agree that American school children would be vastly benefited by following a sim ilar course of work and It is their de sire that the fair performers be brought over and allowed to give exhibitions in various sections of the country The Danish girls many of them were full grown women attracted attention from the first moment they gave drill exercises at the stadium and so swift ly did their popularity increase that thousands of people attended the games solely for the purpose of watching ON THE VAULTING HORSE them They received protracted ap plause from the representatives of ev ery nation Known as the Danish Dianas the damsels were acknowledged to be the best developed and most symmetrical ly formed young -women ever seen in any assemblage in London They per formed the easiest as well as the most difficult gymnastic maneuvers with surpassing ease grace and technical finish The sight of a squad of them ADMIRAL SAiTO OF JAPAN Mikados Navy Chief Working Hard to Impress Sperrys Men The forthcoming visit of our big fleet of battleships and cruisers o Japanese waters is looked on by some of the Japs as an effort on our part to show them our stock of brass knuckles and blackjacks So on Admiral Saito Ja pans minister of the navy has fall en the pleasant duty of arranging a fleet of no less than 200 warships in fighting array to parade before your Uncle Samuels blood shedding peace- fr1 r irtfr l ih O imn ADMIItAIi SAITO makers to show America that the mikado is a considerable flock of pumpkins It would appear evident that some of the 200 warships will be in the nature of emergency makeshifts but at a dis tance this peculiarity will pass unno ticed and Admiral Saito and the mika do will probably have a good laugh over their little joke on those thick skulled impudent Yankees However the Japanese fleet is grow ing rapidly and is a far better navy than the Russians faced Admiral Saito is considered one of the ablest and most resourceful mem bers of Premier Katsuras cabinet He is a merciless disciplinarian and is considered largely responsible for the striking efficiency of the Japanese navy The admiral prides himself on his ability to go without sleep and fre quently -works in his departmental of fice eighteen hours at a stretch immUjTfclWWW PWliTIWLTRJ HIil performing ppectacular movements with the precision of a body of trained soldiers proved worth going miles to see These Danish Dianas when in terviewed stated that the perfection of their figures and symmetrical develop ment of tho muscles were not peculiar to themselves alone but that practical ly all native Danish women were sim ilarly developed because of the fact that most of tho exercises through which they had gone at the stadium were made compulsory in their native land for all young girls The beautiful ensemble effects of the exercises were greatly enhanced by fetching costumes These costumes were of spotless cream color and the girls wore amber silk stockings When Queen Alexandra saw the Dianas per form for her especial benefit in the stadium she turned to Lord Desbor ough the British director of the games r 1 THE HIGH JUMP and exclaimed They are truly won derful They are physically perfect But as Englands queen has Danish blood in her veins it is only natural that she should have taken great pride In the display The great value of the Danish exer cises lies in the fact that they are not designed to perfect any particular part of the body or any one particular set of muscles But they aim to develop the entire body from neck to feet and that is exactly what they accom plish And beyond the process of muscular development is that of giving poise or balance to the body Poise or balance in this particular sense does not mean merely that a person stands or walks straight It means that in addition to walking standing or sitting straight a person walks stands or sits so that the lungs get their full est expansion with the least effort the other vital organs are not cramped or crowded out of their natural position and the backbone is not twisted JOE VENDIG BOOKMAKER One Man Gates Dare Not Offer to Bet a Million Theres just one man in the United States to whom John W Gates the millionaire speculator and horse race bettor does not dare say Ill bet a million That man is Joe Veudig the daring bookmaker and all around gam bling expert who has been active against Governor Hughes in New York in the latters efforts to stop betting at the race tracks Yendig is noted for the unconcern with which he wins and loses colossal bets all in a few seconds time and it is probable that if his acquaintance Gates ever made to him his favorite offer of betting a million Yendig would snap it up in a moment and say The tell me youre a sport Gates but I see youre only a nervous little piker Just now Governor Hughes has the upper hand of Yendig and his fellow gamblers for he and thirty einht other knights of the stool as bookies are x - x- JOE TEXDIG known are under indictment by the Kings county grand jury Yendig however isnt worrying be cause the gambler who allowed any possible emergency to worry him would not last over two weeks In that line of business Yendig believes that the agitation against betting at race tracks fs a sign that civilization is going backward and that it violates the principles laid down In the Declaration of Independence At least he says he does Twains Emancipation An hononry degree was once con ferred on Mark Twain by a humble In stitution in a Missouri town that had known him when he was playing Tom Sawyer there In real life It happened that the degree confer ring cermouies look place one lazy day in June when newspapers generally were suffering from a total collapse of everything In the way of news One New York news editor raked tho land with a figurative line tooth comb and got a dry haul for his pains Then recalling that Mark Twain was getting his honorary degree that very day It occurred to him that a message direct from the famous author might relieve the situation in the news Aft er much scratching of the editorial Idea factory he evolved this query which was transmitted to Mark Twain by wire How does It feel to be a doctor of laws Please wire answer at our expense After a wait of several hours this characteristic response came hot over the wire from Missouri It feels like emancipation from ignorance and vice MARK TWAIN Riding a Camel In tbo Desert Dr Nachtigal the celebrated African explorer was the guest of a rich Ham burg merchant The merchants son a young man of a somewhat sentimental temperament said among other things that his dearest wish was to ride across the desert on the back of a camel He thought such a ride must be very poet ical indeed My dear young friend replied the explorer I can tell you how you can get a partial idea of what riding a camel on the deserts of Africa is like Take an office stool screw It up as high as possible and put it in a wagon without any springs Then seat your self on the stool and have it driven over rocky and uneven ground during the hottest weather of July or August and after you have not had anything to eat or drink for twenty four hours and then you will get a faint idea of how delightfully poetic it is to ride on a camel in tho wikls of Africa Ho Gave Her a Present When I was a young man Lady Jer sey was one of the leaders of fashion and her house was the resort of poli ticians and others With her lived her daughter Lady Clementine Yilliers a handsome and clever girl The custom had been established that all friends should give tho latter a present on her birthday and these presents were set out in an antechamber Among these friends was Lord Brougham then an old man no called on a birthday but had forgotten what the occasion was and had brought no present Seeing a ni of presents laid out he seized one of lem and took It in as his present ri y counting that the young lady wod not remember that it was one that already had been given to her And very proud he was of his pres ence of mind But then he was an ex lord chancellor London Truth Many Languages of Mexico During the fiesta of Christmas or the week of AH Souls and All Saintst when the Indians swarm down from the mountains with their holiday wares for sale visitors in the City of Mexico may notice the strange language that the venders use in addressing each other Even when they turn to serve the purchaser their Spanish is neither Castilian nor Mexican but is frequent ly broken by peculiar syllables and accents This is merely an illustra tion of the fact that the Indian lan guages of old Mexico have nut been entirely submerged by the conquering Spanish and in some of the most re mote districts of the republic various and distinct languages handed down from the pre Columbian era are still spoken in their pristine puritj by many tribe members Mexican Herald Easy House Moving House moving is an easy task among the Lakas a tribe living near the La gone river in the French Kongo Af rica This tribe which is one of the most superb examples of the savage black race lives in conical shaped huts constructed of plaits of tough straw Yhen a change in location is desired both the women and the meu put their shoulders to the task and carry the roofs of their homes to the new site sometimes many miles distant The circular walls of the huts are rebuilt Who Whips The clergymans little son was big the small son of a parishioner of the dreadful fights which he and his sister indulged in You dont mean to say that minis ters children light replied the horri fied little layman Oh yes Who whips Mamma Exchange A Sure Test The schoolmaster put to his class the question Two jars of gas one con taining nitrogen and one carbon di oxide are given How may the gases be discriminated One eager little pupU said Get a man and let him take a deep breath of
