John Henry
CU1U LUG VI
By GEORGE
My Uncle Owen of Kentucky had
died and left me seven horses and a
heap of trouble. Murf Higgenbottom,
his old trainer, had brought the skates
to me. and I was getting ready to
race thtri without letting on to the
family. Gee, but I was having a hard
time of it!
During the following week I spent
most of my time at the training quar
ters, and it wasn't long before the
colts would nose around my pockets
for the lumps of sugar I brought
them.
The ponies soon tumbled to the fact
that I was their meal ticket
The things Murf knew about horse
flesh were scandalous. He had the ra
cing business tied up in a knot in his
handkerchief. Murf was one of those
gamey little men that wouldn't take
a dare from any nag that ever chewed
a halter.
"That there little light bay filly
witt the fo' white feet for mine!" he
obsT;rved sentenliously, after the seven
had been tried out thoroughly.
"Make mine the same. Murf," I an
swered; "she's all the goods, for
sure."
"Whoa, little girl, steady! Yo'
Uncle Owen would delight in that par
cel of hossfiesh, suh; have you' all
procu'd a name?" he asked.
"Call her Peaches," I answered
quickly.
"Peaches!" Murf repeated.
"Sure as you live," I said; "we'll
name her for the best girl that ever
took a hurdle like me for a husband.
Here's to Peaches! may she always
have a place at the table when For
tuno passes the cream!"
"I drink to yo health, suh. and to
Peaches!" Murf said, drawing a flask
of his beloved Bourbon from his pock
et and tipping it slightly: 'Uhis here
youngster promises well, and no Kain
tucky boss evah yet broke a promise
to me. suh!"
I gave all the money I possessed to
UdgflPHp "jmiwMKmK
"Aw, Get Use to Yourself," the Spuds Lad Muttered.
Murf and told him to go ahead and
see the thing through to a finish.
"You have full authority. Murf."
I said, "and all the money I can raise
without resorting to the use of dizzy
drops. If you win out. the glory will
be yours."
"Yo' Uncle Owen considered yo
all big Casino on the eastern tracks,
suh; it is my duty to prove it, seeing
that It ain't possible now to convince
yo' Uncle Owen othahwise," he an
swered, slowly, and that settled it.
"I've been watching that black one
yonder, Murf!" I said, pointing to
little sad-eyes, the laziest looking
skate in the string.
"Yes!" Murf answered, questlon
ingly. "I christen that one Shoemaker,"
I said.
"Shoemaker!" Murf choed.
"Shoemaker," I continued, "because
he'll be near the last all his life."
I didn't get a smile from Murf, so
I got mad and went home.
The next morning while in the sit
ting, room reading the papers I heard
an argument started on the veranda,
and looking out I beheld a weazened
face kid. not much larger than Tacks,
holding a free-for-all with Uncle
Peter.
"Does Mr. John Henry live here?"
the visitor asked.
"He does." Uncle Peter replied, j
somewhat shortly; wnat do you
want with him?"
"I want him to gi'me de gaze!" the
vouth answered.
"To give you what?" Uncle Peter I
asked.
"De look-over, see! I'm for him
if he warms to me on the peep!"
Uncle Petoc was -too mystified to
speak.
To tell the honest. I was a bit to
the daze myself. I'm considered a
fairly wise guy era tho figure of speech
proposition, but that kid had me
whimpering.
"Haven't you made a mistake in the
house?" the old gjntleman finally In
quired. "Aw. choke up! phoke up!" the
stranger advised. "What do you
t'ink I am a wax works? My nut
ain't no empty shell, see! I've got a
bunch of reachlnery behind my map
for to steer me straight, and I ain't
making no bum starts' Put me wise J
to de real captain. wlll.e?
"Have you something to Bell?"
Uncle Peter asked, suddeolr struck
with the idea that the stranger might 1
be a p.eddler.
"Aw. say. Foxr Graif, ring de
tinkler on yourself!" he answered,
scornfully; I ain't out doing no
lecture for a living. Me t'roat Is too

busy to talk to you pass my name
up to de Main Squash, wiU'e?"
"What is your name?" Uncle reter
inquired.
"Spuds!" came the answer.
"Bless my soul!" Uncle Peter cried,
in astonishment; "what a remarkable
name; did you say Spuds?"
"I said Spuds, didn't I?" was the
somewhat sharp rejoinder. "What do
you want to call me, Perclval?"
"I don't want to call you anything,
you impertinent young rascal!" Uncle
Peter said, hotly. "I'll call the dog
presently."
"Don't you call no bow-wow on me
or I'll bite him." the irrepressible
Spuds retorted. "Say! what is dis, a
chin-chin to a show down? Can't
youse bow yourself out and chase de
Boss Carpenter to me?"
Clara J., attracted by the loud tones,
strolled over from the garden to see
what was doing, and as for me, I was
enjoying the affair too much to break
it up by butting it.
"You wish to see somebody?" Clara
J. asked, sweetly.
"Yes, lady," the youth answered,
dragging a reluctant lid from his top
piece and shuffling nervously from one
foot to another. "I was trying to
cook up a chance to hand a line of
talk to de Main Stake, but old Santa
Claus gave me de Ice."
Clara J. looked at Undo Peter in
astonishment, and he scowled silently
at the intruder.
"Come now, young man, state your
business, or be off!" the old gentle
man commanded.
"Aw, get used to yourself," the
Spuds lad muttered. " I don't do no
sneak till I pull off a meeting with the
High Card, and dat goes, see!"
"Don't you know the name of the
party you wish to see?" Clara J. in
quired. "Sure I do," Spuds responded; "it's
Mr. John Henry."
"Oh!" she said; "he'll be here pres-
ently. I'm sure. Who sent you?"
"Mr. Murf." Spuds answered,
whereupon I jumped quickly to my
feet. The affair had assumed a se
rious turn.
"Mr. Murf," she repeated. Just as I
stepped out.
"That's the infernal bandit who was
here the other day." thundered Uncle
Peter. "I'm black and blue all over
from thinking about him. Drive this
person off the premises; very likely
he's crazy, too!"
"Easy," I whispered; "this is
Murfs valet, no doubt."
"Valet!" snorted the old gentleman;
"keeper, you mean. I must say. John,
that I don't admire your selection of
friends: when they aren't foolish,
they are Idiotic!" and with this he
flew ip the house.
"This is the gentleman you wished
to see." I heard Clara J. saying to the
caller as I turned.
"Mr. Murf sent me down to tell
youse, sir, dat de little goil is doin'
fine!" was the first upper-cut I got
from Spuds.
"Poor Murf!" I said to Clara J.;
"isn't It wonderful how he can make
people believe that there Isn't any
furniture broken in his garret This
young man, no doubt, is under the
Impression that "
"Say!" Spuds broke in. "Mr. Murf
Is willing to let mo wear the colors if
you'll give him the ticket for ma to
ride, see!"
Then like a flash It dawned upon
me. Spuds the jockey! Murf had
sent him up to me for a final look
over. Clara J. must not be permitted
to suspect what ho!
"Go back to Mr. Murf." I said
quickly to Spuds, "and tell him he's
on!"
Spuds let one yell out of him and
started to do a series of Joyous cart
wheels all over the lawn.
"What in the world does It all
mean?" Clara J. aske..
'the ticket," I explained; "didn't
you hear him say ticket? Poor old
Murf is tired of the east end wants to
go home. For dear Uncle Owen's
sake I must buy Murfs railroad
ticket; don't you think so?"
"Good, generous John!" she an
swered, kissing me, and I felt as man
ly as a chair with one leg off.
"Hasn't that annoying person gone
yet?" demanded Uncle Peter, ap
pearing in the doorway suddenly.
"Aw, choke up! choke up. Bill
Bailey, and de cozy corner for yours!"
the young scoundrel got back; then
to me, "Say. you're aces wit' me. Mr.
Henry, and I'll grab dat wire foist if
ever de little goil goes out, or spoil
me map, see!"
With a wild yell of delight Spuds
danced off In the direction of the
training quarters, and just then Tacks
rushed breathlessly around the corner.
"See that kid," Tacks gasped; MI
saw him yesterday down the road
about two miles on the finest little
horse you ever see, and the crazy
man that was here the other day was
with him, but I wasn't frightened!"
"Then your friend. Murf, really has
a horse," Clara J. said, slowly and
with signs of a gathering storm.
"He has," I answered: "but I did it
for old time's sake. It cost me only,
a few dollars to rent the horse from
"No Kaintueky Hots Evah Yet Broke
a Promise to Me, Suh!
a livery stable, and you can't Imagine
how it soothes and comforts poor old
Murf!"
"Forgive me, John!" Clara J. said,
almost tearfully, and again she kissed
me.
I felt that I was beginning to show,
the first faint symptoms of being;
liar!

MAKING A BAD MAN GOOD
Cutting of Eye Muscle the Only Thing
Necessary to Complete the Trans
formation. "I go over to Blackwell's Island to
visit the penitentiary at Intervals,"
said the oculist. "There I once found
a man with a cross eye that would
have been funny if it had not been so
pitiful. When he tried to look at an
object tho eye would jump from its
hiding place until he could focus it
sufficiently to make out what the ob
ject was.
"I was sure that I could cure him,
but he swore that I shouldn't touch
him. I talked to him about the oper
ation, and tried to reason with him.
As a result of my argument he said
finally, with great violence: "I'll kill
you; I'll do it if you try to cut my
eye.'
"But I was persuaded that the poor
fellow was sick; that at heart he was
a good man in spite of his sulliness,
in spite of his quarrelsome habit with
his companions, and for the moment
overlooking the fact that he had been
imprisoned for petty larceny.
"So, while several men held him,
and he struggled hard, I performed
the operation on his eye. But he told
me over and over again while this
was going on for I used no anesthet
ic, that being against our practice
when the patient is opposed to an op
eration that he would kill me when
he got a chance. In the course of a
week his eye had healed, and his de
sire to kill had left him. He gave mo
no word of gratitude, but I knew he
was not the same man. He asked to
be allowed to help me in the operating
room that was his way of saying
'thank you' and his request was
granted.
"I never had so capable an assist
ant. Everything that I wanted was
always there. His watchful eyes saw
to that. But he did not talk, he was
at my elbow, anticipating my wants,
but silent.
"He soon got his discharge from the
penitentiary, and he asked me one day
if I would give him a letter of recom
mendation. I said yes, first, then rec
ollecting that he had been imprisoned
for stealing, I said: 'No, man, I can't
do that, but I'll tell you what I'll do
go and look for a job. and if they ask
for a reference tell them to come to
see me.
"Not long after this there was a
ring at my telephone, and I heard an
Irish voice at the other end saying:
"There's a fellow here gives you as
reference I employ teamsters what
about him is he all right?"
'"Come and see me, and I'll tell
you about him,' I said.
"Well, what's tho matter is there
anything wrong with 'im?'
" 'I'd like to talk to you about him.
I'll come and see you if you can't
come and see me,' I answered.
"But he decided he would come to
me. It was a little unusual, perhaps,
and possibly he was interested. The
upshot was that my cross-eyed man
was employed. Later he was made
head teamster.
"A bad man changed to a good man
by the cutting of an eye muscle. It
seems strange, doesn't it? but it's
true." Xew York Times.
Beauty Treatments.
"Bill" Snyder, the famous head
keeper of the Xew York Zoo, was de
scribing to a reporter the 20-gallon
oil baths that he gave the elephants
in the autumn, when the harsh beasts
begin to chap their hides.
"These oil baths Improve the ele
phants' looks," he said. "The ele
phants know it. too. The females es
pecially know it. They take to these
beauty treatments the same as
women."
The head keeper chuckled sardon
ically. "Women, though, go a step too far,"
he said. "A young man from the Hon
house told me that at a ball the other
night he said to his hostess:
"Who is that pretty little blonde
eating lobster salad, ma'am?'
"'Why. don't you know her?' his
hostess cried. 'She's the pretty little
brunette you flirted with la-. week! "
The daylight and darkness are a song:
The clouds that fleck tho summer sklet
with white,
rhe stars that gleam above us all night
long.
Are symbols of the song of love and
light.
And deeper chords there are, and har
' monies
The which no mortal thought has evci
found
Because they arc eternal ecstasies
Too marvcl-swect to be blurred Intc
sound.
Beyond the pulsing cadence of the breeze.
Beyond the throbbing monotone of rain.
The lilt ot bird songs and the bum of
bees.
There surges up a vast, unfathomed
strain
Which we might hear all faintly In the
night
When all tho world has left us quite
alone.
Or when In awe we stand upon some
height
Tct never Is that song completely
known.
Aye. times wo sense It when we feel the
thrill
Of looking o'er the meadowlands Id
spring.
Or when the snow makes of the tree
crowned hill
An lvoried stillness then the shadowt
sing
As do tho sun-kissed fields, and distant
haze.
And all things all the sky and sea and
land;
(t Is the song of all the nights and day
That wo may hear, but may not under
stand. rhe daylight and the darkness are a
song.
And all the unknown heights and depthi
of space
vThero myriad systems whirl and wheel
and throng.
Each fleck of star-dust In Its giver
these, with blades of grass, and or
chard bloom.
And gale-tossed snows, and wlndlnt
flowered ways.
And great sea billows, and the rose per
fume. All blend into the song of nights and
days.

Story That Contains a Moral It Might
Be Well to Keep In
Memory.
A little King Charles dog;, a pet In
a family where he had been the play
male of a little boy, slipped through
an open door some time ago and dis
appeared. Servants and the children
of the house searched everywhere,
asked questions at all places where
it was thought possible the dog might
be in hiding, but to no avail, and the
animal was finally given up for lost
and there was deep mourning in the
nursery. One day recently the wom
an who owned the dog met a neigh
bor at a florist's shop, who had on a
leash a dog strangely like the lost
pet, and asked where he came from.
"Why, he ran Into our house a few
days ago and we don't know where he
belongs.' The dog knew his old mis
tress and was quickly surrendered.
'You might have had him sooner, had
you advertised," said one woman. "And
you could have found the owner soon
er had you advertised," said the other
and the newspaper man who heard
the story.added the moral.
CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA
1 can't tell in words how happy the
word 'Cuticura sounds to me, for it
cured my baby of itching, torturing
eczema. It first came when she was
between three and four weeks old,
appearing on her head. I used every
thing Imaginable and had one doc
tor's bill after another, but nothing
cured It Then the eczema broke out
so badly behind her ear that I really
thought her ear would come off. For
months I doctored It but to no avail.
Then It began at her nose and her
eyes were nothing but sores. I had to
keep her In a dark room for two
weeks. The doctor did no good, so I
stopped him coming.
Tor about two weeks I had used
Cuticura Soap for her every day,
then I got a box of Cuticura Ointment
and began to use that In a week
there was a marked Improvement In
all I used two cakes of Cuticura Soap
and one box of Cuticura Ointment and
my baby was cured of the sores. This
was last November; now her hair Is
growing out nicely and she has not a
scar on her. I can not praise Cuti
cura enough, I can take my child any
where and people are amazed to see
her without a sore. From the time
she was four weeks old until she was
three years she was never without the
terrible eruption, but now, thanks to
Cuticura, I have a well child." (Sign

Runs on the Bank of England.
Even the Bank of England has not
been entirely free from runs nor from
the necessity of saving Itself by
strategy. In 1745. for instance, it was
forced to employ agents to present
notes, which were paid as slowly as
possible In sixpences, the cash being
immediately brought in by another
door and paid in again, while anxious
holders of notes vainly tried to se
cure attention. In 1825. too. only the
accidental discovery of 700,000 1
notes saved the bank from stopping
payment. London Chronicle.
How Hit Proved It.

he went to the doctor and told him
his eyesight was bad. The doctor
looked at him for a while and then
said:
"How can you prove to me that
your eyesight Is bad?"
Pat looked about the room and at
last said: "Well, doctor, do ye see
that nail on the wall?"
"Yes," replied the doctor.
"Well," then replied Pat, "I can't."
