Dianas
From
Denmark
ETBRMINED efforts are mm
being made to 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

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

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

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

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
