BEAUTIFUL DARING
WESTERN GIRLS
As Much At Home On a Horse
As a City Girl In a Trol
lev Car.
-- I
In no part of the habitable I
globe are there better lady riders i
than can be found in the west..
A girl must be able to ride if she j
wants to visit her neighbors of-j
ten. And how some of these!
young creatures can manage a |
horse! What pictures of beauty,
daring and health they are as
they come dashing along at full
speed, playing games, chasing
each other or racing just for fun
Indeed, horseback riding is a
common and easy pastime lo a
“wild western girl“ just as trol
ley riding is to a city girl.
The Western girl goes every
where on horseback. She can
join a set of equine quadrilles or
Virginia reel and gallop twenty
miles on an errand without feel
ing the slightest fatigue. She
keeps “company,” goes to school,
visits her “next door neighbor”
(maybe fifteen miles away) all
on the back of her favorite pony.
Yes, the Western girl can cer
tainly ride, as you will readily
perceive when you witness the
performance of the bevy of
Western Beauties with Kit Car-'
son’s Buffalo Ranch Big Three
Ring Wild West Circus. Watch
them in the Hippodrome Races;
note their skill and fearlessness,
be enchanted by their beauty,
spellbound by their achieve
ments, and awakened to the
pleasures and enjoyment of the
competition by their silvery
ringing laughter.
There are many things worth
seeing witli this splendid attrac
tion, but not one prettier or more
likely to be a gratifying after
thought in your memory than
the lovely wild Western girl with
sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks
who flashed by you on the back
of a plunging steed.

noon and night, on Wednesday,

William J. Gaynor.
The country at large regrets
to learn of the sudden but not
wholly unexpected death of Wil
liam J. Gaynor, mayor of New
York, while on shipboard class
ing the Atlantic ocean. When
he left for a sea voyage he was
a very sick man, and unable to
accept the nomination tendered
him, and which was accepted for
him by his secretary. Mayor'
Gaynor was an unusual man. He [
may be called the very highest
type of American citizenship.
He was a product of the best in-1
■ heritance, soil and environment |
of the country. From early j
manhood he proved himself a
factor for good that was worth
while. Whether as a school
teacher, a newspaper reporter, a
lawyer or a judge, he made him
self felt, and his scholarly writ-!
i.ngs have delighted and instruct
■ a
ed thousands of people who have
never seen him. Through a long
life of political activity not the
slightest stain attaches to his re
cord. Outsiders may think that
he exhibited too much faith in
the integrity of his police de
partment at the time of the dis
covery of the grafting scandals;
but, it must be remembered that
New York’s police force numbers
many thousands; that the oppor
tunities for graft and wrongdo
ing are widespread and numer
ous, and that it was only natural
that some officers should prove
recreant to the trust reposed in
them. A great deal of noise was
made over the trial of Becker
and his associates, but when all
is said, only a very small per
centage of the police force was
ever involved. Mayor Gaynor
was seriously considered as a
suitable candidate for the presi
dency, and had he lived there is
no telling what honors would
have come to him. New York
and the country will miss him
and will have difficulty in finding
a suitable successor for him—

A Start On State Highways.
Arkansas’ little venture into
the good roads game was suffi
cient, we hope and believe, to
whet the appetite of the people
of the state for continuous effort
on that line. It was well under
stood that good roads could not
be made all over the state in two
days’ time. All that was hoped
for was to arouse the people and
to teach them the value of good
roads and how to make them.
This is no longer a matter for ac
ademic discussion. It is too late
to revive the old claim that the
good roads are being promoted
for the benefit of autoists. The
farmer is now ready to admit
thatfor every auto that will trav
el the good roads there will be a
hundred or more farm wagons
and that while the autoist will
derive a good deal of pleasure
from speeding over the road the
one who will' profit most is the
farmer—in lessened time of go
ing to and from market, in big
ger loads and in wear and tear
on live stock and vehicles.
What we want to strive for,
now that the principle of good
roads is accepted, is uniformity
and scientific methods in place
of the patch work system that
marks the road working in the
state, where every road overseer
has a plan and a method of his
own and follows it regardless of
the method of the man in charge
in the contiguous districts.
The state has now a depart
ment of good roads and the ser
: vices of its experts and engin-1
! eering talent are at the disposi- j
J tion of the people. It would be |
well if general plans for the con
struction of roads under varying
conditions could be adopted and
enforced. It is conceded, of
course, that different methods
nust be adopted forbottom roads
and hill roads, for clay and for
rock surfaces, but these things
the department of roads is able
to cope with and lay out plans to
fit every particular case.—Fort
Smith Times-Reeord.
Girl’s Definition of Good Taste.
In the Woman's Home Companion
a writer reports his adventures with
his niece Beth, who went to Boston
to get culture. Beth was 18 years
old, and after a visit at the art gallery, i
made this remark: “Well, of course I
1 don’t know anything about critics, j
but I know what I'd like. I’d like a
critic who would tell me which the ;
things are that nice people can keep ■
on liking.”

The Little Rifles—Big in Quality
YOU are going to buy a .22 calibre rifle, single shot
or repeater—you’ll find that many well known crack
shots started wi th a R mington-UMC .22. Their ad- 1
vice now would be "By all means, get a Remington-UMC”
because they know that there is a tendency in some [
quarters to look upon these models as only “a small
boy’s rifle” and to cheapen them so that they can be
sold at a price.
You have just as much right to expect full shooting value in
! your .22 calibre arm as in your $75 big game rifle,
j I You want the Remington-UMC single shot at from $3 to $6, .22,
.25-10 or.32 calibre, made by the same people who make the famoua
Remington-UMC Autoloading Rifles.
Or. if you prefer the repeating rifle, the Remington-UMC slide action .22
repeater with its easy take-down and special safety features, shooting .22 short,
.22 long or .22 long rifle cartridges, at $10 and up. is your arm. Sold by live
dealers of this community—the most popular small calibre rifles in America.
