ICST as the western custom
of riding astride is gaining;
more and more advocates
among the eastern eques
triennes, a western woman
has proclaimed against it, declaring:
that the side saddle Is both safer and
saner. This rider, who belongs in the
circus arena, says:
''There are lots of people who won
der why it Is that I ride side saddle
Instead of astride, as most of the
women who rldo In circuses and other
shows where horses play a great part
In the program. That is an easy ques
tion to answer. I can ride astride, but
don't like It and I don't think that it
Is as safe as riding as I do.
"If the girth breaks or the horse
stumbles there is a far better chance
for a person riding side saddle to get
out of the way of the horse's hoofs
and escape Injury than there is If one
rides astride and has to deliberate
which way to dismount. Of course,
for a long ride across country to ride
astride is all right, but when It opmes
to work in the arena, where you have
to be ready for any emergency, I

Side - Saddle
aide of my mount, so that I can throw
myself off In a fraction of a second
should, anything go wrong.
"I have always ridden side saddle,
even In the west, where I was born,
and after I was married and moved
to Texas I kept It up. There are lota
of women, I know, who claim that to
ride astride is better and more rest
ful, but for my part I do not think
that there is anything .which gives
you the full exercise and brings all
the muscles Into play like riding a
our mothers did.
"The women you see In the parks
and exclusive bridle paths always
have stirrups too short when they
ride side saddle, and that Is the sole
reason that it has become unpopular.
"To go back to riding astride, I
think women who do get the mascu
line look and carriage after they have
ttken to the man's way of riding. I
never knew an accomplished horse
woman yet who didn't prefer the side
saddle, and every woman who takes
regular rides In this style every day
looka twenty years younger and keeps
her figure DO per cent more youthful
than those who ride astride."

The (hamoli Ulove.
The washed chamois glove In yellow and
white is an admirable adjunct to our ward
robe. It solves the problem of how to
keep gloves clean without expense. The
time Involved in washing them Is so small
that It can not b counted and the delight
of feeling fresh gloves against the hand
each day Is understood by every woman.
The cheaper gloves do not last and there
fore they are not a good investment. The
chamois Is thin In places and with a few
washings It wears through In holes that
are impossible to mend.
A mistake Is often made of blowing Into
the gloves when they are wet and hanging
them to dry In this shape. If a woman
lias a short, fat hand she will not object
to the result, but if she has a long, slender
one she will be thoroughly discouraged.
She will find that the fingers are only half
as long as they should be; that the button
Is up on trie palm and that the thumb Is
square instead of oblong.
While It is well to blow In the gloves to
separate the chamois on the inside of the
fingers, the latter should be put Into shape
before drying.

of Aid.
Negotiations to settle the defalcation of
William McCrea, the South Omaha live
stock accountant, were fruitlessly pursued
all day yesterday, but will be continued In
the hope that an agreement may ultimately
be reached. The amount of money to be
paid by his friends Is the bone of con
tention. The conference was held In the offices of
the Trans-Mississippi Grain company, of
which E. 8. Westbrook is secretary. Mr.
Westbrook Is also secretary of the Omaha
Live Stock Commission company, from
which McCrea embezled.
At the meeting were A. C. Pancoast, Mc
Crea's attorney; Mr. Westbrook, Arthur
Rogers, who Is president of the live stock
company; J. A. Galbralth and Alvln F.
Johnson, who represent the National Surety
company, and J. B. Blanche rd, who was
president of the commission company until
the first of this mouth.
"Just think of what McCrea has been
through," said Mr. Blanchard to reporters.
"Imagine his feelings on waking up and
finding himself alive after he had swal
lowed those pills."
Securing of pledges to make up the short
age continued actively Friday. C. H. Van
Alstlne, a live stock man, leading the
work. A considerable sum has so far been
promised, but it Is said to be not as much
as is insisted by the surety company. It
was rumored for a while Friday that fur

shortage was not as large as declared the
day before, but this was later authorita

' v e nave no oojecwon 10 ms testimony,
continued Mr. English, "but we will not
stand for the position of the defense, that
it can dictate whom tne state shall or shall
j not call as witnesses."
Mr. English also referred to ur. Porter
as the Ish family physician and was de
nounced for this by the other attorney as
trying to prejudice the Jury.
When Mr. English had declared the mo
tion of the defense, "the most extravagant
proposition he had ever heard in this court
room," Judge Estelle suggested that Dr.
Porter had Just entered the room.
"Weil call him, then," said the county
attorney, "but not because Mr. Connell
says we trtiall.'
But it developed that Dr. Porter had
not come in and a ruling on the matter
was deferred by the court.
Cyrus Haynor, an old colored man em
ployed to take care of the Ish cow, was
the first witness for he defense.
