Many grand racer contended over the

probably. It fell to a brilliant 2-year-old to
lead them all In money earned, and a grand
(-year-old wa hard after him In that line.
Next wa the best 4-year-old of the year,
and then came the crack 1-year-old filly of
1908. That quartet Sir Martin, Fair Play,

become quite a good Jockey. Eddie Dugan

the Whitney Tloraea in England next year.
A a rising lightweight D. McCarthy
showed well in achieving third place, but
Schilling, who vii fourth In winning

OTHER SPORTS TO THE FRONT
Miner Game Get a Chance at the Col
lege. NEW WORK. Nov. 28,-Now that the
foot ball season has ended the athletes in
the eastern colleges and universities are
turning their attention toward those games
which, during the winter months, go to
make the calendar of Intercollegiate sports
complete. Basket ball, hockey. Indoor
track, aquatics and gymnastics aro all
coming In for their share of recognition
after being dormar for eight months.
The track athletes nave already donned
their Indoor shoes, trunks and jerseys and
sought the banked turns of the runway
in the gyms. Nearly every afternoon these
would-be flyers can be seen swinging
around, developing both' stride and wind,
under the watchful eye of some captain,
who is anxiously looking over the material
for this winter's team.
The hockey managers have met their
captains and last season's veterans, who
are again eligible to chase the puck this
season, and have dlscutsed radical changes
to be made In the teams' interest. But
the sport which really has taken the long,
est atrlde toward supplanting,. In a meager
wsy, foot ball. Is basket ball. The ma
jority of the Institutions which are repre
sented on the court each season have
not yet issued a call for candidates, be
cause many members of the various foot
ball squads have announced their Inten
tion of competing for places on the 'var
sity quintets and the coaches are desirous
of getting all their material together al
tho same time.
However, this fact ha Interfered with
many undergraduates practicing on their
own hook. Then, agalu, there are other
places where the call has already been
ent out, and reports state that In" the
majority of Instancea, in point of num
ber and experience, the (response has
been gratifying. The Impression among
the followers of the sport ' appear to
be that the coming season Is to be the
banner one In the annals of the game.
The dissolution of the Intercollegiate Bas
ket Ball association does not appear to
have in the least retarded Interest In this
branch of athletics, and while it waa
feared at the close of lost season that
the discontinuance of this organization
might materially affect the playing sched
ules of those colleges and universities con
nected. It ha evidently had an antithetic
effect.
It la said that, as a rule, harder playing
lists aro being or have been compiled
for the big eastern teams than ever befcre.
If such Is the case then It Is evident that
enthusiasm among basket balllsts la on
anything but the wane. It Is rather
on the Increase and long, hard schedules
will undoubtedly tend to boost it still fur
ther. Tale has announced that lta sched
ule Is composed of Just a many Important
games as last season's. Further than this,
all the teams that last winter met in
Intercollegiate Basket Ball association
play are again given places among the
playing dates. The Yale season opens in
this city December ( with a game against
City college, New York.

AFFAIRS OF THE HARNESS RACERS
Aamaal Meeting; of the Association
Held la New York.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-The aecond an
nual meeting of the American Association
of Trotting Horse Breeders was held at
the Hoffman houae recently, with Presi
dent Joseph W. Bailey of Texas In the
chair. Secretary H. K. Deveraux of Cleve
land presented to the directors and mem
bers ' the annual report which waa ap
proved unanimously.
The report showed that the association
had 800 regular members and ninety-nine
Hfe members, with every prospect of in
creased membership in the near future.
The annual account showed a net deficit
of (1,062.60, the expenses of the associa
tion's current business and the running of
the stakes being that amount above the
receipts.
The account was given in minute detail,
and also showed that every dollar received
from subscribers for the stallion and
matron stakes, opened under the direct
management of the association, la left In
tact, the deficit being made or to be made
good by therermanent fund . from life or
regular members and annual dues.
President Bailey spoke at length of the
.Importance of increased Income In order to
provide the necessary funds with which
to carry along the bualneea of the associa
tion. He showed the members to what
extent the affairs of the biggest breeding
organisation of the country, will widen
after each year, and gave some Idea as to
the amount of money needed for the run
ning expenses, comparing the first yeai
with the second since the association was
formed.
President Bailey stated that during the
Lexington meeting and alnce then he has
consulted with leading member of the
association and found them all In favor
of handling the futurity funds In a man
ner which will bring more Interest than
the amount now on hand ia bringing.
"V.'e have promised," said President
Bailey, "to give back to subscribers to the

the JSest arrangement he ha so far been
able to make for handling of the futurity

AWERICANS ARE NOT THRIFTY
If Toi Woald Kaon How to Save
Money Ueea Soma Lessons
' front tha French.
Americans In general are none the worse
for a little practical instruction in old
world thrift. The science of making both
ends meet has been superseded in America
Lby the expedient of making both ends
I longer. Prodigality la the rule with ua. We
are a nation of money makers and money
spenders, not of money savers. It has been
said of us truly that ours Is tha only civil
ised country on the globe which does not
encourage thrift amo.ig the masses o( 'its
people. 1
The evils of such a system are self
evident. The value of a dollar becomes a
doubtful quantity In the hands of its pos
sessor. Waste, both of aubstance and of
energy, la inevitable. Habitual prodigality
reaults In false standards of personal worth
and in deterioration of moral fiber. A cer
tain sturdy quality of character, of which
the word "No" is the eloquent expression,
is sacrificed.
In France one ha an opportunity to'
etudy thrift in its most provident form.
For there thrift Is not casual foresight,
practiced genially as an unobstrusive and
not ungracious virtue. It Is part of the
dally thought and outlook of the people.
It ha r. gaunter aspect than with us and
weara a scantier garment. Nor is it self
effacing or seeking for concealments. It
stares at you in the streets, shows in the
faces of the people, greets you a hundred
time an hour alternately in pleasant and
unpleasant way. ,
The principle of thrift a normally ap
plied In Franc ia admirable. The trench
houae wife buy exactly enough for her need
and no more, whether of fuel or food or
clothing. The grocer' cler tip the scale
on a pound of sugar with nicety, careful
that the houae he works for shall not lose
a single grain In favor of a customer.
Nothing is wasted anywhere in France by
French people. The forests are swept clean
of loose timber and of fallen twigs. The
leavea of the plane trees In the Paris parks
are saved as fertilizers, to be used In the
government greenhouse.
Coal dust Is packed Into brkks and
burned. Every particle of refuse In the
street I turned to some account. It la

which la useless when It reaches the refuse
tags and that la paper money, which be

of the multitude that it is simply waate

all causes France to rank high among the
wealthy nations of the earth:
For It Is by thrift that nations aa well
aa Individuals, maintain their wealth. Na
tural reaources may make them wealthy,
but it takea thrift to keep them so. Thla
la true of the United States a much aa It
is of France, or of any other land. It ha
been estimated recently that our country,
because It Is learning to turn its waate to
profit, will make more ' out of this one
source of revenue than formerly It made
from Its staple products.
Today fully one-fifth of the profit of the
cotton crop la made out of the cottonseed
meal, which formerly wa thrown away.
In the future cornstalk will be used to
make our paper. Rubbish' will furnish light
for our cities.
What a nation regards as worth Its while
to undertake should not be thought by In
dividuals to be beneath their dignity.
Methods of thrift differ, but the principle
beneath them, all is one arid the same.
Money saved is money earned and money
rioasessed is present opportunity. Real
thrift is not self-denial only; It Is choice
likewise. Each time the truly thrifty per
son saves he makes a choice In favor of
some ulterior advantage.
Therefore intelligence ia needed In tha
exercise of thrift. Many are the follies
committed in this homely virtue's name.
The woman who gets up at ( oVlock In the
morning In order that she may set her
bread to rise with half the ordinary quan
tity of yeast Is as misguided and ridiculous
as the tradesman who splits a raisin to
make his pound even. The former la
prodigal of preclou energy; the latter Is
weighing his own soul In the scales for an
Infinitesimal price.
Thrift at its best Is, then, intelligent use
of advantages of which both substance and
opportunity form part. Just because it la
silly to "save at the spigot and waate at
the bunghola" there is no reason why both
spigot and bunghole ahould not be watched.
The man who saves grows rich and gains
a place in the community. The careful
housewife has a pleasant home run Inex
pensively. Pavings put by mean a secure
tomorrow. .But, best of all, money means
opportunity for him who has it and he who
saves on nonessentials has a chance to gain
some greater good thereby. Chicago News.
COLLAPSE OF CROOKED CAREER
Dramatic Close of a Life Seemingly
Honorable, Thonajh a Llv
- Ing Lie.
No poet could have Imagined a swifter
or more dramatic collapse of a career, ap
parently successful but really criminal, than
that which came to Peter Van Vlisslngen
In Chicago on Monday.
At noon a atranger coming Into the city
and asking to be recommended to a com
petent and reliable real estate broker ti
undertake a negotiation In hla line would
probably have been recommended to Peter
Van Vlisslngen. He might have. been told
that the man waa brusque In manner, but
hla judgment was excellent and what he
aald might be relied on.
At night the same Peter Van Vlisslngen
was sitting In a cell in the county Jail,
adjudged guilty on hla own confession, and
with ample corroborative proofs of for
geries extending over about eighteen years
and Involving nearly (1,000.000.
A remarkable aspect of the case Is that
criminality doea not seem to have been
even suspected until a few days, almost a
few hours, before the end came. Then
another real estate dealer and old friend
found that a mortgage had been released

are more tempting than
on the record, although the money had not
been paid to the holder. He went to Van
Vlisslngen' office to inquire about it.- Hi
description of the Interview has a splendid
simplicity: -
He sat on one side of his office table and
I on the other.
"Peter," said I, "did you release that
mortgage?"
"Yes," he said;
I asked him his reason, and he replied:
"Oh, Just because I wanted to."
Then I looked straight over the table at
him and I asked him:
"Peter, Is your business crooked?"
"Thles," he said. "Its rotten from the
top to the .bottom."
There were some Inquiries as to details
and methods. There were conferences of
two or three men largely interested as
probable losers. The officers of Justice were
Informed. Then Peter Van Vlisslngen
walked with the business associates and old
friends whose confidence he had betrayed
Into the state's attorney's office, and thence
into the criminal court, pleaded guilty, aup
plied a link in the evidence, thua avoiding
delay, and by a judge who had known htm
for year wa aentenced to the penitentiary.
There wa no excusea to be made and
none were attempted. Let that be aet down
to the credit of Peter, VaA Vlisslngen. Be
yond repeated and earnest aasertlon that
none save himself had any hand In his
crimes he had little to say, though very
ready to show how the crimes were com
mitted, and thus to assist Justice. Yet he
made one statement worthy of notice:
"There were three ways open to me
flight, suicide, or the penitentiary. I have
chosen the last. I may have made (1,000,000
by forgery. Most of that was spent In
covering up the forgeries already com
mitted. I was kept In trouble all the time
committing new forgeries to cover up tne
old ones. There Is nothing left."
. We are left to Imagine the hell in which
Peter Van Vlisslngen must have lived for
some eighteen years the constant strain of
fear the constant necessity of committing
new crimes to cover up the old the agonies
of hope deferred that In some way he might
be able to wipe out the record and be again
the honeat man he was before he yielded to
the first temptation.
No wonder that the truth burst from
Peter Van Vlisslngen at the question di
rectly put. . No man, however coarse his
moral fiber or atrong hla will, could so live
for years without feeling relief when the
day came In which he had to tell the truth
and could cease to live a lie.
The lesson Is the old and commonplace
one, which Is yet eternally true. It not
only pays with tha outside world to be
honest, but only thus can a mag be at
peace with himself. No mutter what his
material succeaa, no man can be happy
whose deeds maae him a living lie. Chicago
