"Veteran' Holds Forth On the Horse Shark.
To the Turf Editor OF the Globe.
The remark is often made that the world
contains all sorts of people, and that New
York city being world within itself, CON-
prises all kinds, and more too. This additional
element includes class not found in other To-
calities, consisting of the genus horse-shark,
and his victims, commonly denominated
suckers" Not but there are numerous
specimens of both tribes elsewhere, but they
are of the ordinary, and not the extraordinary
species that flourish in Gotham and nowhere
else, of whom / have reference.
THE SHARK.
The vocation of the shark is to feed on the
suckers, and the methods employed in gather
ing them into his net are peculiar; usually
two of them are associated, and their first
point is to locate, which they accomplish by
leasing an unoccupied stable In the rear of a
private residence. Then horse is installed in
the stable, the walls of which they decorate
with blankets, boots, bits, and other trappings
usually found in the domicile OF a circuit
trotter. The next issue of the Herald con-
tains an advertisement offering 2:25 trotter
for sale at great sacrifice, giving his pedigree
full in the trotting lines, record 1928, but
can show 2:25 easily, six years old,

on her shoulders" Her eldest
daughter was an idiot, her aged
mother partial paralytic, and her
husband, though trained by reli-
gious parents, was addicted to strong
drink. The money that went out
OF his wages to indulge this appe-
tite, she was obliged to make UP by
washing. To do this, and care for
the feeble and the little ones in
her home, she toiled early and late.
One day | spoke to her of the work
OF the missionaries in Africa, and
the great opportunities for doing
good which that new field offers.
at just harrers me up to read
about the missionaries, and how the
fields is all white, and so few a-reap-
in of 'em," she replied. "If | could
give even little, but you see l
can't. | don't see how Sam can
read it so cool. | most wish he'd
skip it sometimes If | only had
money do you s'pose I'd tighten my
purse strings and turn away my
face? I'd jest rejoice to send 'em a
good round sum-"
There is something you can
give" said. "Never you wish
that Sam would skip any, but when
you are longing to give, lift up your
heart to the Lord and ask him to
bless the missionaries and help on
their work. If you give a prayer,
1t may do more good than some peo-
pies money. | would put in pen
ny, if | could do no more, every
time | got the chance. One leaf of
the Bible with the Holy Spirits
blessing on it might lead soul to
God, and that soul might lead 9TH

than one leaf"

nowadays" she said with happy
smile. "Tm glad / had this little
talk with you. l have my health,
and earn my own money, and |
know | can spare one cent now and
then"
She went away smiling and
grateful. One day, weeks after
ward, | had occasion to go to her
house
II want you to look in here a
minute" she said, motioning me
away from the family into the bit
of bedroom where she slept. When
we were alone, she drew out from a
hidden corner a small bag made of
striped ticking.
That's my missionary bag"
said she. Owe saved five cents out
of every washing and put it in
there. So little we never missed it,
but you see it counts up to quite
sum. Thirty-fve cents! shouldn't
have thought | could give that
much, but here it's, and no worse
off. Thank the Lord I've got it to
give. | want you to take it to meet
in for [ can't 60 tomorrow, and I
hear there's to be collection"

The Power of Habit,

A writer in the Youths Compan-
ION, whose purpose is to point out
the power of good habits as well as
of evil ones over the soul, says:
A well-known fnancier in New
York, who died lately, was noted
during life for lavish and unceasing
liberality, as well as for the wisdom
with which he gave to individuals,
to charitable and religious purposes
in word, to every worthy cause.
On one occasion, when a friend
spoke to him of his generosity, he
said, bluntly;
"You mistake. 1 am not gener-
Gus. lam by nature extremely av-
aricious. But when 1 was a young
man | had sense enough to see how
mean and little such a position
was, and 1 forced myself to give"
"At first, I declare to you, it was
torture to me to part with penny,
but l persisted until the habit was
formed. There is no yoke like that
OF habit. Now I like to give"
at is a singular fact that preach
ers and moralists, while they urge
upon young people the power of bad
habits, they say comparatively lit
tie of the equal force of good habits.
Every young man has heard of
the strength which the habit of
smoking, drinking, or card-playing
will have to drag him down, but he
is apt to underrate the resistant
power which the habit of reading
the Bible, of prayer, of frequenting
the society of pure, good women,
will give him. Goodness must come
to him, he thinks, in sudden waves
of emotion, of pious aspiration. He
will go down the easy descent to
ruin by steady, impreceptible steps,
but rise to heaven only in spasmod-
ic flights.

WHAT SHE COULD.

My washerwoman had finished
her days work, and had given her
her money and seen her tie it up in
the corner of her coarse cotton hand
kerchief, and still she fingered.
She rolled and unrolled the little
bundle containing her apron, and
looked with dissatisfied air at the
paper [ had given her to wrap it in.
[ wondered what could be the mat
ten.
''That was wonderful good pa
per you gave me last week." she
said, at length. "My father used
to take that paper when l was a
girl and lived at home. | can't
never get out to meetin in the
forenoon, what with the dinner and
the baby; and my man amt no
hand to 60. But he read that pa
per out loud to me all the forenoon
last Sunday, and though | couldn't
hear it quite all, bein so busy, l
heard enough to know it was won
derful improvin'; most as good as
a sermon. [ prayed in my heart
that the Lord would make it a
means of good to Sam, and I'm sure
if it only just kept him at home,
'twould be worth while. If 'tisn't
askin' too much, could you give me
another"
We had all finished reading the
last religious weekly, and as l had
had that very morning occasion to
use some paper in packing away
furs and woolens, to keep them from
moths, | had rather thoughtlessly
appropriated that. A twinge of
conscience was felt at that time, for
[ commonly try to put good news
papers in the way of somebody's
reading, after | am done with them.
1t was some trouble to get it for
Mrs. O'Hara, but l went up to the
attic, opened the great cedar chest,
and substituting a daily for it,
brought it down to the poor woman.
''Tm afraid I've made you heap
of trouble" said she, looking dis
turbed and uncomfortable as she
took it. ~ wouldn't have asked,
but | thought like enough you
would just as soon [ had that as the
other, if you knew I wanted it,"
"To be sure [ had!'' said l. "You
shall have itevery week in future"
She smiled, as she wrapped it round
her apron, and said in meek way:
II amt able, you know, to take it
myself, with all | have on my shout
ders, or | would, and not trouble no
body"
She went away gratifed, and I
took care, afterwards, to save my
paper for her every week. Often
in the intervals of her work we
talked over some of the subjects of
interest we found there, for though
illiterate, she was a Christian and
woman of excellent sense. Well
enough I knew "all that she had

The Advent of Christ.

Softly he cometh
This King.
No sound on the mountain afar;
No herald save one silent star;
Nor highway with triumph to ring.
Lowly he cometh,
This King.
No robes of bright purple and gold:
No pageantry royal and bold;
No banner its glory to fling.
Meekly he cometh,
This King.
To sit in our earth-shadc of woe;
To wear our humanity, so
That souls in their sonship may sing
Quickly he cometh,
This King.
Lord, even so-longing we wait
outside of the pearl-builded gate,
outside of the glory so great
Till thou our glad welcome shalt bring,
Thou, Brother and Saviour,
And King.

give us so 'moySters," said two men, as
they sat down in Market street restau-
rant, last night. The reporter was engaged
in bunting for the meat about ringbOne
of beef, and he noticed that of,the nine men
engsged in lining their interiors, eight were
deVOurIng oysters. September has been
fairly ushur,d in and the r. has brought
on the oyster season. The demand for the
Juicy bivalves has been astonishing, all
week ard the steady run for the winter has
been begun. After living on Chicago steak
and South Wheeling pork and Fulton ham
for the past six months the average reStau-
rant feeder has now begun bowling for
oysters.
Why?
Because September has come, and as ii
has an or" in IL, the oyster is legitimate
food. There is nothing in this superstiuoi
a. AL. further than that in the months
ithout the IT" the oyster is less likely to

makes no difference. but here at Wheeling,
oysters are eaten at least "A hours out OF the
water, and are not as fresh as might be.
Eastern oystermen like 10 encourage the
pUI uIar iues that an oyster is not good ia
bot weather and il is safe TO assume thai
lie does lose some of his native freshness II
exposed very long to the rays OF an August
sun. But fresh oyster is as good in July
as in January, but the dealers want to cur
tail the sale.
Why?
Let us see. There were not oysters
enough in theNew York markets yesterday
to supply the demands, and there ara NOR
orders in band for the next feV days than
can possibly be filed. A the season prs
crosses the home demand INCREASES, and in
November the expectation begins. Blu
the supply also increases. and markets
are we'll stocked and biyalyalyes are plenty
and cheap There is an end 10 every thin
and ~ oyster bed must give out
What then?
Simply this: On the list of MAY the PEG
pie stop tating.oysters and the Oystermen
stop dredging The oyster has time to re
cuperste ana gather about him an interest
ing little family for the fall trade. New
beds are planted old beds reStOCked and TIE

months. Unless the people were hum
plugged into thinking that an r. WA

Won they?
Not exactly, but the oystermen for self
protection would combine and charge il
As constant dripping wears away a ston'
so constant dredging wears away an oyster

The cheerful intelligence is yOuchsafe
this fall that oysters are TO be plenty and
consequently cheap. The export trade has
been in, ressing every year, but SO maOy

markets will be we'll supplied. But when
We say that oysters will be cheaper, we
mean only to those who buy them in bulk.

much and an oyster StOO' will sell for the
