When the management of the Jess
WlUard-Buffalo BUI Wild West show,
•which ia an Oklahoma product, called
Upon Plying Hawk, the old Sioux
chief, to appoint a "policeman" to
preserve the peace among the many
Indiana with the show, his choice fell
upon Red Thunder, a Sioux brave
from the Pine Ridge reservation, South
Dakota. ,
The position of "policeman" In the
^ild West Indian village was not a
iicw departure for Bed Thunder. Out
on the Indian reservation he had held
the position of conservator of the
peace for several winters, and he se-
cured his "job" there through the sug-
gestion of the Indian agent, who had
very good reason to hold Ited Thun-
der's prowess and cleverness in hand-
ling unruly members of tho tribe in
high regard. Even before ho was
furnished with a glittering "star" as
a badge of authority, lied Thunder
had on more than one occasion inter-
vened to prevent feuds tunong 'he
Indians, §nd several years ago when

tnrough the village and threatened an
attack on tho agency buildings, Red
Thunder, portly by persuasion,' and
largely by a display of physical force,
dispersed the malcontents and re-
stored peace to the camp.
In tho Jess Willard-Buffalo Bill
show Red Thunder's duties as "police-
man" are not very strenuous. When
Jealousy is aroused among the young
braves over tho pretty Indian girls,
Red Thunder acts as peacemaker;
when an Indian actor shirks his work
in tho performance, tlio "policeman"
admonishes him and makes htm toe I
the mark; when a quarrel occurs be-
tween tho Indians of the rival tribes ]
comprising the Indian congress, Bed :
Thunder separates the combatants [
and Incarcerates them in the "cala- J
booro' 'in the rear of the Indian vil- j
luge. Singularly euo.ugh, this "cala- i
boose," which Is simply a small tepee
or canvas tent, has no guards. When j
an Irviian Is Incarcerated there Is a I
sense of disgrace and an aboriginal
conception of honor that prevents him
from making any effort to escape, and
he "does time-' without a murmur.
Tho Indian village and the peculiar
open-air life of the red men provide
an interesting study for the students
of ethnology, Just as Jess Willard, the
cowboy champion of the world, who
Is announced to (appear at both per-
formances, compels interest on the
part of the fans. Willard will bo seen
both as a cowboy and as a ring glad-
iator. The champion has a company
of sparrers with him,'and they assist
him to illustrate how Jack Johnson
was knocked out. Willard's boxing
exhibition is given, It is announced,
In tho big show, and not In the con-
cert. A lively Wild West performance,
a ndvel circus program and a pic-
turesque preliminary street parade are
promised when the big show exhibits
in Temple, Thursday, Sept. 27.
Beneath the pomp and glitter and
amidst the odor of sawdust and
naphtha Is a system of government
and management whose scope and
scale are stupendous and staggering.
No human institution Is more perfect
in operation than tho circus. Surely
no more flattering tribute could be
paid the Ilagenbeck-Wallaco circus
than that officially given by the
United States government. Officers
from tho army department, veterans
in their profession, carefully observed
the rapid sequence of proceedings
when the big show was In Washing-
ton.
The naval officers were In tho rail-
road yards to wa'eh tho arrival of the
trains, the process of debarkation, and
on the show gr ounds they marveled at
tho manner In which the monster
Aladdin-like, palaces were raised in
the air. They critically observed tho
manner In which the two-mile-long
street parade was lined up. They mar-
veled at the haste and precision In
which hundreds of their employes has-
'.ened about their work. General
Kvans surveyed the marvelous scenes
and he was dumfourided. lie asked
for permission to allow several mem-
bers of bis staff to travel with the
show a fortnight that they might

Luke McLuko Says
One good thing about the pockets
In the skirts is that a girl doesn't find
it necessary to lug around a fancy
gunny sack In order to carry a stick
of chewing gum, a handkerchief and
a powder rag.
Why did the women folk# wait un-
til fall to decide to make the skirls
shorter In order to economize on dress
material? Don't they know that the
Summer cars will soon bo taken off?
The girl who marries a man to re-
form him never has to complain about
married life being monotonous.
Our women folks are getting pret-

of It. A woman ought to be pretty

all.
No good .housekeeper wants to be
