There was quite a lively horse race
yesterday on the Sloan track. The
horses that run were a bay belonging
to MI. VanTassell, and a sorrel pony,
the property of Mr.. Sturgis. Distance
a quarter Of a mile. The wager was
various, several small bets having been
made. The VanTassel horse showed
some twenty-five feet of daylight be-
tween himself and competitor, when he
bolted the track, which it is claimed
was caused by poor riding, allowing
the pony to win the race. There will
be another contest between the same
animals at an early day.

Noble Moman,s Work,

A daughterof the great DIR. CHAIN
ers, in the true greatness of bravely and
perseveringly doing good, is proving
herself her fathers equal. Rev. Tain
age states the following:
"In one of the alleys running of
from Fountain Bridge, Edinburgh, a
street crowded with drunkenness and
pollution, is the low-roofed building in
which this good woman is spending her
life to help men and women out of their
miseries.
"Her chief work. is with drunkards
their wives and daughters.
'In the winter, when the nights are
long and cold, you may see Helen Chal.
mers, with her lantern, going through
the lanes of the city, hunting up the de.
PRAYED and bringing them to her re-
form meetings.
Insult her, do they? Neverl They
would as o think of pelting an angel
of God. Fearless and strong in the
righteousness of her work, she goes up
to a group of intoxicated men, shakes
hands with them, and takes them along
to hear the Thursday night speech on
temperance"

from Afghanistans Scence-The widest

towering on all sides; an English officer
riding along, escorted by a motley COM
rany Of maliks and tribesmen all armed
to the teeth; more armed Ireedees in
the middle distance; n weary, lonely
figure toiling on the dusty road in huge
black boots, face burned a brick red and
fringed by a scanty sandy beard. The
figure is clad in a thick wadded gar
ment and has q bundle on its back.
'Haltl.Who are you?" "A Turkestani.n
''Where are your comradesp" 81 am
alone" "Where are you going2" ''To
Mecca" "How will you get there?"
"God will help" peace be with you"
''And with you" Tile figure moves off,
and the armed circle breaks up. This
poor devotee had tramped hundreds of
miles through hills and valleys, swarm
ing with cut-throats, secure in his sim
faith which had led him to leave dis
tant Turkestan in quest of the still
more distant Mecca.

tried for criminal carelessness and ac-
quilted some months ago. The author
tiles, however, were not pleased with
this result, and another court-martial
was ordered, which, being organized to
convict, reversed the action of its pre-
decessor. Several of the officers have
been sentenced to two years. conine-
ment, and to be thereafter dismissed
from the service. One of the accused
was, however, acquitted the second
time, and it is said another court martial
will be ordered to convict him. Civil
governments do not tolerate these Sec
ond and third trials. But there never
has been much civilization about mill
tary law in any country. The people
in this country who go about declaring
themselves in favor of a ''strong gov
eminent" should stop and reflect that
a strong government is apt to run into
a military despotism, and that military
law is simply the execution of the will
of the mar at the head of affairs.
Americans have never had any personal
experience in this business. But the
people who left their homes in Europe
to escape despotism, are not crying out
for a ''strong government" They
know what it means.
