p St 5 PS- I ' r taw- 1 T T lohn ri J&Z- bbbbbi i hJh ess- " i and the Big Race By GEORGE My "string" was getting in shape. 7t consisted of seven horses willed to Ime by my uncle Owpn of Kentucky, ,and brought to me by his old trainer, ',Murf Higginbottom. No one of my .family knew anything of the whole Bad affair, and I was kept busy dodg ing the trouble my secret caused. "In about fo' weeks this here 'Peaches filly will show us how a Kaln itucky boss can get real buss, sub!" iMurf chuckled one morning when I dropped in to see him. ' "I catch your words, Murf. but the meaning is away to the fritz," I an swered; "what's doing?" "I have entered this here Peaches filly for the Culmination Stakes, to be run ovah the Futurity co'se, sub!" .Murf replied. "Are you handing me a line of bo gus conversation?" I asked in sur prise. "Yo' all left these here matters in my hands, sub!" Murf went on, calm ly, "and I certainly have to prove that to' Uncle Owen knew something about hossflesh. I only ask you. suh. to stand by and prepare to see the dust move that's all. suh!" "Count me in, Murf; I'll follow the "band wagon till tbe bass drum springs a leak!" I chipped in. "Only two of these have worked out lo my liking, sur, and I'm for selling the othah live, if it .suits yo' all." "Do so, Murf." I said, "and use the money just as though it were handed to you by Uncle Owen. Which colt khall you keep besides Peaches?" "The ono yo' all fastened to that there fool name Shoemaker, suh," he answered so earnestly that I laughed for ten mintues. The days rolling by found me con stantly with Murf and the two colts. ;Vall Street knew me no more, despite tbe long dissertation I was handed daily by oluble Uncle Peter. Every blessed tip he had given me on the market proved to be the real goods. Oh Lordy! Brung Dat Whitefoot and simply by following his schedule 1 should hate been many thousands to the good. '. Instead, however. I was down to the little bundle of small bills other wise known as my income, sufficient in itst-lf to keep the wolf fiom eating the knob off the door, and no more. In the morning of the day on which tlio ' Culmination" was to be run. Clara J. said. "John. Aunt Martha and 1 are goinc; to town today. We're go .ing to meet Alice Gray and some of aiv girl friends and we'll all take luncheon at the Waldorf. Please, do join us there, won't you?" " "Impossible, little woman." I said: "I simply must attend a ery import ant stockholders meeting rolling stock, you Know!" "I'm beginning to hale that old Wall Street." she pouted; "you've been so quiet and so preoccupied of late. Keally. John, you should take a day off!" "Soon." I answered; "but not too soon." and we parted good friends. At' the track 1 found Murf. anxious but not excited. "That there little Peaches filly may give come of these Eastern boss own ahs bad dreams tonight, suh!" Murf said slowly, as he went back to the stables. 1 couldn't dig up nerve enough to dope Peaches to win. Even if she looked an oil-painted cinch I wouldn't have bet a dollar. Clara J. had my promise not to spend another case note on a horse, and I wouldn't break my promise to tbe best girl of all no. not even for her namesake. I roamed around like an uneasy spirit. Just to show how popular I was with myself. 1 determined not to flash my presence near tho grand standthe far field for mine. Just before the great event I edged up close to the fence with every nerve in my system bobbing around and carrying weight for age. In the person of the rail-bird next to me I discovered a friend, old Uncle Harry Carroll, late of Carroll County. Marvland; highly colored, but one of the "best cooks that ever peeled a ter rapin. Old Uncle Carroll worked for a neighbor ot ours near Ruraldene, and he managed to get down to our train ing quarters often enough to become interested in the colts. I done dreamed aat v. mieioot, w v . f a. lady cern'ly wine'r get busy disuyer day!" he informed me. "Oh! you mean Peaches! wercd. I an- 'Yath. dat Whitefoot way he went on repulsing the suggestion of a more formal title. "Cernl do find some foolish pussens hacdiin' money down p I m 2 enry X V. HOBART dishyer way. Dat Whitefoot lady gwiner go to de post at 100 to 1 to win." "A hundred to one to win!" I gasp td: for, to be frank, I didn't trust my self any too well and took no chances by mixing with the push in the bet ting ring. "Yath," he grinned, "and I done bet foah bones on data Whitefoot lady to win ceru'ly did. If mail dream doaon tu'n out to be a liar I won't cook no mo fo' a year!" Peaches a rank outsider 100 to 1 to win post odds! It was not yet too late no; get thee behind me, Sate! Not a dollar up. and then no matter what might happen I could go home to Clara J. with a more or less quiet conscience. They were long diopplng the flag for the great race, and 1 began to sprout a fine crop of freckles under that broiling sky. Then suddenly the shout. "They're off!" Out of the chute in to the straight away course they foamed, that heav ing, seething mass of horseflesh. The sunlight seemed to rush after them, eager to dance on their glossy backs. while all the world stood still, listen ing, listening to the musical thunder of the hoofbeats. A hundred thousand eyes were fix ed intently on the living river of racers an army of eyes watching eagerly for the horse which would first give token that it was being piloted by the god Success. I Jut where was Peaches! There! there In the center of- the storm tossed mass, her pretty head straight out toward the goal, her eyes darting forth tbe fire of a hundred famous ancestors; she seemed a sea-bird dip ping to the wave and rising all foam bedecked to meet the next. Leaning far over her arched neck was Spuds, whispering kindly cheer into ears that hearkened well: "Go Lady Home, Brung Her Home! on, readies! keep to de hot-foot; youse has de bunch lookin like dey's nailed to de grass! Go on, little goil! Dey's no one here but your old col lege chum. Spuds! Steady, Peaches! Save your pipes for de wind up! Easy, good Peaches! They ain't a soul v.atchin youse except everj'body on earth! Steady. Peaches!" On they flew, while now from fifty thousand throats hoarse cries of en couragement were flung upon the winds of evening to be carried echo ing away on the clouds of dust which arose lazily from the track. By my side old Uncle Carroll rode an imaginary horse with all the vigor of youth. The frenzy of the moment was In his blood, and his age-dimmed eyes, screwed into little points of sight, followed the every undulation of his choice! "Oh. Lordy! brung dat Whitefoot lady home, brung her home! Oh, Lordy! doan yo' heerd what I said, brush her on. brush her on! Yo' brack devil boss, keep out'n mah Whitefoot lady's way, yo hyar me! Go on, may Whitefoot chile, go on! 1'se tremblln" fo' yo' all, 1'se sho'ly tremblin! Oh, good Lordy! make dat jockey h'ist dat cat-tails dess once dess tetch her one teeney tap on de ham bone! T'won't hu't yo. White foot chile; no indeedy; on'y make yo' narvous! Oh, Lordy! brung dat frien' o mine out'n dat bunch of wicked hosses' Prush her on. Lordy. brush her on! She's goln'! she's goin'! an I'se still Hvin' to see it oh, halleloo! halleloo!" With the rush of an angry wind across a starless night the horses roared by the outposts where we stood, and through the clouds of dust I could see the jockeys preparing swiftly for the fury of the finish. The beautiful black horse was still in the lead, but there, creeping slowly up on him. inch by inch, was another no, surely, it isn't At this moment the fifty thousand throats united to shriek the name of a horse that sounded like "Peaches!" but. no, it couldn't be possible? She hadn't a single chance, not one in a what! is that "Peaches," there near the leader? I could feel the light of day fading, fading away while my heart seemed to stand still. Poor Uncle Carroll, his dim old ni-nf tt r"i nni - inn v r x ka t. ai.i.-u 1U mc .uiui u. uuiiuug .,...., ( J-oui meir soct-eis, yet seeing only t aguely a comused and tossing sea of thoroughbreds, gave free rein to the hope he was riding to win: "Oh. Lordy, how come I kaint see ' my Whitefoot lady; Get out'n de way jo' brack devil hoss, ain't yo got no manners! Is you gettin' home. honey? Yes, yo J.! yes, yo Is! G on, Whitefoot lady; it ain't fur now, an dey'6 de bestest bucket of oats yo all evah tasted waltln' fo' yo', honey! Oh, Lordy, brush her on! brush her on!" "Peaches! Peaches!" how I yelled and cheered her. Inch by inch she crept up on the black. Now her head is at his flank; at his girth but the wire is so near, so very near! Go on, good Peaches! Her nose is at his shoulder can she fight him to the finish? Can she look! look! they are neck and neck, and the multitude is mad with watching! In that instant Spuds brought the cruel whip down wickedly, and stung with the surprise and shame of it. "Yo Uncle Owen Knew Something About Horse Flesh." Peaches leaped forward yes, she wins! There is a bedlam of huzzas in the stands, and when the sobbing Spuds was dragged from his saddle to be seated in triumph in the floral horse shoe, a shout went up such as must have startled the nervous clouds. Peaches won. I crawled away into a corner, weak from the excitement, and if there were tears in my eyes, it's nobody's busi ness! (Copyright by G. W. Dillingham Co.) POOR TAILOR'S MANY TRIALS Is Supposed to Take Imperfect Anato my and Shape Garments to Pro duce Perfect Figure. Men tailors have trouble with shoul ders, waistbands and legs, but legs are the worst. There Isn't one man in ten who can make an affidavit that he is neither knockkneed nor bowlegged. rnt-fr.w- ctm'eht lees are rare. It's an art to shape fabrics over bowlegs so that they will not show and no joke to hide the bends of knock-knees. When a man begins to take on weight It shows first at the belt line, then on the shoulders and upper arms. Later it gets down to the legs. In the meantime the tailor has his trouble in keeping his customer from looking ton heavy. The tailor is supposed to take an imperfect anatomy and shape gar ments over it with such nicety as to produce a superb figure. It's a trying job. Legs that are overlong are sources of some complaint The waistcoat has to be dropped an inch or two in cases like this. There are knees which are 50 per cent, larger than they ought to l)e preat knuckles of bone that are hard to hide. Then there's the thigh three times larger at the upper end than at the other. Men creatcH on this model ought to be permitted to wear full-seated knickerbockers. Sticking to It. Police .Tudtje Simon Hahn, while ad drosinc a political meeting, related the following incident in reference to telling the same tale over and over again: -You all know." said the judge, "that the speeches made at political meetings are all very near alike, but to get something different is the prop er thins nowadays. "It puts me in mind of a case of a woman who appeared before a certain magistrate, and when asked her age fihe said 30 years old. The judge looked at her and said: 'Look here, madam, weren't you here before me five years ago. and did you not tell me then that you were 30 years old?' The woman said that was so, and the judge asked her what she meant by toming before him and telling an untruth. "Tbe woman replied: 'Well, you see. vour honor, I'm one of those kind of women who do not believe in saying one thine once and another thing an other time.'" Newark Star. Has Hickory Teeth. Frank Forbis is the oldest mail car rier in the county, and perhaps tho oldest in this part of the state. He is ninety years old and has lost threo teeth, and has worn false teeth made out of seasoned hickory cut so they fit around the other teeth. They last for several years, and when they wear out he cuts out some more, and he claims they beat the teeth the dentists make. We think the old man ought to have a pension, as he i. ,ri.-i most of the time for small wages. Horse Cave (Ky.) Ga zette. A King's Costume. It is a proof of tbe fact that ideas are stronger in men's minds than they used to be that King George can wear a bowler hat and a loud suit with out being dethroned; he would only embarrass us were he to appear in the regal garments of the kings of an earlier age. And what in the name of wonder should we think o him If he wore a waistcoat formed of an embroidered royal standard? Yet such things, were once as natural as a Norfolk jacket. London Truth. Financial Calamity. Mr. Pneer had dropped a nickel through a crack in the sidewalk of the elevated railway station platform. 'There goes the 40,000th part of my entire year's income!" he groaned. k&f I The Home Department nty r t Clara's Questions. My sister and I wish to haTe some caling cards engraved. I used to hear quite frequently the saying: "Never give yourself a title." Is that still in force, or is it proper for me to have my cards engraved: "Miss Clara Helen Mischler?" My sister is the older. I suppose hers should be just "Miss Mischler. Can you give me an Idea of how a progressive dinner is con ducted how many courses and what is served with each? For instance, for the soup course, is just one kind of soup served? CLARA. What you have heard does not ap ply to visiting cards for young wom en. The prefix "Miss" is always used, to omit it is very bad form. A progres rive dinner is arranged by each host ess assuming the responsibility of one course, how many to be decided by those who give it. I think four or five ample. Only one soup is served, but oysters may precede it, adding an other course; then the meat course, the salad and dessert. After dinner coffee with bonbons or cheese and crackers may be still another course. "Nemo's" Questions. (1) What would you suggest for a wedding breakfast for, say, just the immediate family? (2) What is the best form of acknowledging wedding gifts when no invitations, but an nouncement cards only, arc Issued? NEMO. For the wedding breakfast have chicken croquettes, hot finger rolls, olives, celery, an aspic salad with hot cheese balls, ice cream, cake, coffee. It makes no difference in the acknowl edgment of wedding gifts whether one has invitations or announcements. Polite, cordial notes on one's very best stationery should be sent each person who sends a gift and these notes should go immediately after the Baby's Playground A 6 J WAUU -a 1 -saao ,-ataa ,. ce WALL, (t. I I ccLVseo I Y0 portion off a part of the nursery g in which King Baby may be left for short periods to amuse him self unattended, is a very desirable thinp. but to achieve this object satis factorily is no easy matter. In our sketch and diagrams one practical so lution of this difficulty will be found, and it can be carried out with little trouble and at no great expense. In the fust place, two three-fold clothes horses should be obtained and thin bars of wood nailed in upright positions to the parallel bars of the horses. A glance at the s!:etch will explain this. Next, two pieces of board should be firmly nailed to the nursery wall, at a distance apart equal to the width of two of the divisions of one of the horses. The horses can then be fastened with hinges to these pieces of wood fixed to the wall, and diagram "A" illustrates this. Tapes should be attached to the posts at further sides of the horses, and it is an easy matter to place them In the position shown in the sketch and tie the posts together. When not required, the horses can be folded flat against the wall, and diagram "B" shows a ground plan of this "BB" representing the board nailed to the wall, and "BBB" the horses partly folded back towards the vail. The newest skirt is the aeroplane model. Almost all dress hats are of exag gerated size. Slippers and hose must match the gown exactly. Dress the hair in pufT-curl effects and bandeau decorations. Handsome moire bags are some times trimmed with gilt. Shaded feather trimmings is the latest Paris sensation in fashions. Sleeves of different lengths and different colors are worn in the same gowns. The broad celnture or girdle seems to be appearing again on the latest frocks. Dainty undennuslins in the advance spring styles are richer than ever with embroidery. JNp(jC gift Is received. If yon send me a self-addressed stamped envelope In care of the paper I will be glad to forward you the name and address of a book that will answer your letter at greater length, as my space is lim ited and the requests are many. "A Reader's" Queries. I have been corresponding with a young man whom I met last summer while on a visit in Canada. He has asked me twice in letters if I would send him my photograph. Not know ing what to do, I write you to advise me. I am not engaged to the young man, but would very much like to win his attention. A READER. If you know the young man to be worthy in every way I see no harm In exchanging photographs with him. Tell him it is something you rarely do and make him understand you are conferring an honor upon him by granting his request. Tell him when he sends you his, you will return with yours. Regarding Party Calls. If one accepts an invitation to a party from a lady who has not called on you is it necessary and proper to make the usual party call? I have attended a number of parties where the hostess has not called on me, and I am undecided as to whether I owe a party call, in such cases. MRS. G. P. If the hostess enclosed her card with her invitaticn, that is equal to a per sonal call; also if she explains to you that she intended to call before her party, that is sufficient, and you pay the call. If neither of these apolo gies were made I would accept the in vitation, and you do not owe an after call if you go. MADAME MERRI. Diagram "C" illustrates the horses in position, and here again "CC" indi cates the board on the wall, and "CCC" the horses. When the playground has'becn com pleted, all the woodwork can be paint ed a nice dark green or, perhaps, a color to match the wallpaper, and when folded back against the wall, will practically take up no space in tho nursery and will be almost in visible. The playground can, of course, be arranged in a moment, and the horses, being hinged firmly to the wall, can not possibly fall over. It is not neces sary that the space enclosed should be of the square shape illustrated, and the horses can be easily placed in oth er positions if desired, and yet effec tually apportion a part of the floor from which the little prisoner cannot escape and go too near tbe fire and get into mischief in other ways. With a few toys spread out on the floor, a little place of this kind will j:oc a paradise , for a small child, w no can "make believe" to any extent in this little house of his own, where he cannot possibly come to any harm. O'der children might amuse theni r.'iies also in a similar playground on a larger scale, and with the help of so.ne old curtains, or a shawl, or rug. wonderful tents and houses can b made. Broom Pincushion. A very dainty novelty is the broorr pincushion. For this you will require a large flat cork, a meat skewer (a new one, of course) and a few yard! of baby ribbon in some bright shade Cut a small hole in the cork and in sert the skewer firmly through it. Now wind skewer and cork together with the ribbon until they are entirely cov ered. Two bows on the skewer wib hold the ribbon tight so far. The broom effect you will gain by the pins; they must be driven thickly into the under side of the cork, hold ing the ribbon at that point, and at the same time giving a very good imitation of a tiny metal broom. These make very nice favors at informal par ties, club meetings, etc. To Remove Rain Spcts. It is said that if any fabric becomes ram spotted the spots can be removed by ironing the material on the wrong side, placing a piece of clean white muslin between the Iron and the gar ment to be pressed.

"I wonder how much Imagination governs some persons' senses?" re marked a visitor at the St. Regis yes terday "For a Christmas present I sent to a young woman of my ac quaintance one of the most elaborate sachet cases I could find.
