THE OLD DUTCH OVEN.
Some algh fop cooks of boyhood days, but
none of them for me;
One roundup cook was bent of all 'twas
with the X-Bur-T.
And when we heard the grub pile call at
morning, noon and night,
Tbe old Dutch oven never failed to cook
the things just right
'Twaj covered o'er with red-hot coals, and
when we fetched hor out
The biscuits there were nice and brown,
you never had a doubt.
I ain't to strung for boyhood grub, 'cause,
summer, aprlng or fall,
Tns old Dutch oven baked the stuff that
tasted est of all.
Perhaps 'twas 'cause our appetites were
always mighty aharp
The men who ride the cattle range ain't
apt to kick or carp;
But anyway I find myself a-dreamtng of
that bread
Ths old Dutch oven baked for us beneath
those coal so red.
Arthur Chapman, In Denver Repub
lican. Rapid Age.
The stranger came to the old tavern.
"You are behind the times," he eluci
dated, gravely. "Why don't you take
down that old 'Accommodation for
Man and Beast' sign over your gate
and put up 'Accommodation for Man
and Automobile?' "
But tbe old tavern keeper only
emlled.
"What would be the use?"
"Why, don't you think it would be
of advantage to you?"
"No; by the time I got it up I'd have
to take it down and put up a sign,
'Accommodation for Man apd Acro
plate.' "
When Candy Is Good for Child.
The average, healthy child of 10 or
11 should be able to eat of pure can
dy the equivalent In weight of two or
three lumps of sugar after his mid
day meal. This, however, should not
e given him unless other proper foods,
' i sufficient quantity, are eaten, and
should never be allowed between
meals. Butter taffy and molasses
candy, made at home of pure mate
rials, are especially to be recommend
ed, and may be considered valuable ar
ticles of food. Jean Williams. M. D

UNKIND.
I had hoped we were friends, and per

Tou often have given me prlse;
1 nave paid your cor fure; you were glad
when I swore
That you had adorable ways.
Wo have whispered soinetlmes-llttle
nothings, 'tla true
In unllghtrd corners and nooks:
I have (tempered your slim hand and pre

A number of beautiful books.'
X have neen your cheeks flush, and I've

My lire blended Into your life,
But why, when I asked you to luncheoa

Did you telephone to my wife?

TO SAVE RACrcSS
Gentlemen's Events to Bs Big
Factor on Turf This Ssascn.
MOVEMENT HAS BEH STARTED
Many Men Connected With the Cpcrt
of Kings Say That the Amatsur
Events Will Give Mere Sportsman
like Tone to Horse Racing.
When the eastern thoroughbred
horse racing Benson ftnrts on its ca
reer April 13 the 2ort of kings will
have an Important factor in the per
son of nu amateur. And ho lias coaia
to stay. When the game was rolling
on the crest of the wave of prosperity
tbe amateur was seldom beard of. In
fact, when his name was mentioned
It was treated as a Joke. There was
no room for the slmon pure turfmen.
The man who rode a thoroughbred for
the simple pleasure of the chase was
shoved aside to make room for the
professional Jockey. The lightning
changes in the racing game during the
past, few years have been nothing less
than starting. The anti-racing legis
lation, which cut down the attendance
from many thousands to simply tbe
regulars, reduced the game to almost
ashes. And the amateur has now
come forth In the character of the
phoenix. The evolution of the sport has
brought about many changes. And
the most important one Is that "sport
for sport's sake'' will be the slogan of
the future.
This does not meau that the profes
sional rider Is to be cast into the dis
card. On the contrary, he will be as
prominent as ever. But the man on
whom the revival of the sport will
fall is tbo man who U going to devote
his time and services to try to re
store racing to its former high stand
ard. The inception of this scheme started
last year, when a call was issued to
all the hunt clubs in the country to
attend a conference and draw up rules
which would govern at all amateur
meets. The success of the plan was
greater than anticipated by the pro
moters. Itepresentatives from nil the
big hunt clubs attended, the meeting
and willingly agreed to df all In their
power to foster the sport In conse
quence there were more amateur
meets held last year than ever before.
At the end of the season tho returns
were bo gratifying that it was re
solved to enlarge the scope this year.
Frank J. Bryan was selected, as the
proper manager to handle the move
ment this season and was elected sec
retary of the hunts committee of the
National Steeplechase and Ilunts as
sociation. Under his capable manage
ment there are forty-nine hunt clubs
on the roster of tbe N. S. II. A. These
clubs are situated all over the countrv.
and their membership rolls contain the
names or some or the most representa
tive men In the United States.
One of the most valuable additions
to this new body is Thomas F. Ityan,
tho former traction king, who retired
from aoijve life last year. Down at
his vast Oak Itldge farm, in Virginia,
Mr. Ityan has constructed one of the
most up to date race courses lu the
country. Ills intention is to hold meets
there during tbe year for the pleasure
they will afford his friends and him
self. At the same time Mr. Kynn has
a number of blue blooded stallions and
mares on his farm and intends to
Join the ranks of breeders.
In addition to Mr. Uynn's establish
ment in Virginia, there are some of the
greatest hunt clubs situated below the
Mason and Dixon line. In New Eng
land the Brookllne meet is famous in
turf history. The racing yere is at
tended by crowds running up to the
thousands. The Brookllne meet is in
a part of the country where there is
uo real race track within a hundred
miles. The enthusiasm shown by the
spectators at the many affairs held
there In Indisputable evidence that
where sport predominates In racing It
Is bound to be n grent success. On
Long Island the C'etliirlmrst and Mcnrt
owbrook hunts brin nut r number
of folk who never visit .0 regular
tracks. Again, there are any number
of private meets given by wealthy peo
pie which ftirulsli more excitement
than at auy of the largo courses.
To show the real interest taken bj
the amateurs It Is only necessary to
point out the course of the United
Ilunts ndjolnlng Belmont purk. This
course is laid out on tho plan of a
regular track, with courses for flat
runners and a steeplechase field. There
is no revenue In this organization, and
none is looked for. A good day's sport
is all that Is asked. A glance over the
list of some of tho main supporters of
the amateur sport proves that they are
necessary to help in the rekindling of
tho popular pastime. With August
Belmont are his two Rons, Raymond
and August Junior, both of whom are
able horsemen. F. Ambrose Clark,
James Buller, Jr., Malcolm-Stephen
son, David Gows and E. II. Carlo are
also a few others In this state who nr
devoted amateurs.
It Is tho Intention of tho hunts com
mlttee to have the various local rac
ing associations put at least one ama
teur race on the weekly program. It
makes no difference whether it is on
tbe first course or over tho steeple
chase course. The Innovation is Biiro
to call out any number of friends of
the participants. By this method the
sport Is bound to add a number of new
friends to its 1H.

readied the office of Chief Clerk But

The Hock Island reported a hcavv

When the Commons Was a Shield.
In modern tinioa when the Brit
ish parliament is dissolved it means
that the members must look to their
bank books for election expenses.
Formerly it spurred them to desper
te shifts to avoid bankruptcy and
arrest for debt, for with the disso
lution of parliament went the mem
ber's prized privilege of immunity
irom ins creditors. Down to the
middle of the last centurv no civil
action for the recovery of debt could
oc directed against members of par
liament, so that a seat in parliament
was the spendthrift's invulnerable
defense, or, as Disraeli wrote, the
only way to keep some men "out of
.ne nouse of correction is to get
them into the house of commons."
Australia.
While Australia is the fifth of
the great continents of the earth.
with single states larger than his
toric Kingdoms and empires, the
London Standard notes that it has
fewer inhabitants than those for
whom the police' force of London is
responsible. In population it is no
greater than Belgium, a tiny shred
of flat country that would bo lost in
the back lands of Queensland or
South Australia. In fact, Australia
has only a small fringe of popula
tion sparsely strewn along the sea
coast, too few in number even to
hold that rim except in dots and
patches, while the natural increase
of population is below that of most
other nations.
Roundabout Way to Happiness.
If everything in the holy state of
matrimony went on too smoothly we
should not be aware of how happy we
are. We should not realize that a
horse was well trained If horses never
never ran away. We should never
know that marriage makes for long
life were it not that there are Inci
dental troubles which nmatlmea
aorten it.
