THE RACES.
Prospects for the Most Successf u
Meet Ever Held on the
West Side Course.
Some of the Flyers to Compete
for the Liberal Purses.

auspices of the West Side Racing AS
sociation promises to be the biggest
and most successful affair of the kind
ever held on the West Side. Much
interest is manifested both at home
and abroad and the attendance from
the outside viii undoubtedly be
large. Many of our most prominent
and influential citizens have con-
tributed largely to the purces and are
deserving of the thanks of our COM
munity for their liberality. But
they should not stop here. 1t is
their duty to be present at the races.
They should occupy the judges
stand and see to it that lhe contests
are conducted fairly and squarely.
They owe this much to the people
who pay their money to wit
ness the sport and to those
who hazard their money on the re-
suit. Nothing is more disgusting
than "chucked" race, and nothing
is more exciting or creates more iu-
terest than a good square race that is
run for "blood."
The management are to be compli-
mented upon their liberality with re-
spect to the ladies, they having de-
cided to make no charge for their ad-
mission.
Nearly all the horses that partici-
pated in the Helena meeting will be
present, many of them having al
ready arrived, and, taken altogether,
they are by far the finest lot of thor
oughbreds and trotters ever gathered
together on the Montana turf.
On Wednesday the 10th, the great
event of the day will be the
MINING MEMS PURSE,
of $500, contributed by the mining
men Of Butte; mile heats, two in
three. The horses entered for this race
will be Jack Gilmer's celebrated
horse Red Boy, who has beaten some
of the best horses on the Pacific
Coast; Lamartine, a well-known race
horse from Deadwoo6; Narrow
Gauge, who won the mile heat race
at Helena last week over a splendid
field of horses; and Thady, the 3.year
old flly that won the mile and an
eighth dash at Helena, much to
everybody's surprise. This promises
to be an exciting race and will be
worth witnessing. AS this purse is
given by the mining men of Butte it
should awaken an interest among
the miners themselves, who should
make it point to be present aud see
the sport.
Strict order will be maintained.
The races will be called promptly at
2 p. m., and it is the intention of the
management to get through by S
o'clock each day.
TRACK NOTES.
The race track presents a very ami
mated appearance now, being fairly
alive with runners and trotters dur
ing the forenoon.
Helena will send large delegation
Of visitors to the races this week.
Deer Lodge, also, will be repre-
sented.
Raymond's Carrie Bell and Kings
black mare, Cora, will probably come
together again on next Friday, in
the ESQ class. 1t will be remem-
bered how close and exciting the race
was between them last July.
Red Boy is already spoken Of as
the favorite in the mile heat race. for
the mining mems purse of $500, on
Wednesday. Narrow Guage, LAM
artine and Thady will dispute the
honors of the day with him.

The Proper Position for sEoep.

4 German, Baron ReichenbacL, has
occupied many years in studying the
art OF bed making, or, rather, bed
placing, aad maintains that improp-
erly placed beds will shorten a mans
life,
If a mere magnet exercises an in
fluenCe on sensitive persons the earth 5
magnetism must certainly make itself
felt on the nervous lite of man. In
whatever hemisphere you may be al
ways sleep with your feet to the
equator, and let your body lie true
as needle to the pole"
The proper direction of the body is
of the utmost Importance for the
proper circulation of the blood, and
many disturbances in the organisms
have been cured by simply placing
the bolster in different point of the
compass from that it had occupied.
Let sBeh as have hitherto been in the
habit Of sleeping with their heads
where their feet ought to be take to
heart the example Of the late DR.. Elsch-
wester, of Magdeburg, who died re-
Gently at the age of one hundred years.
The most unhealthy position, we
are told, is when the body lies due

eide, and that diseases are often aggra-

FARM AND FIRESIDE.
T1arnlers a I.ifirants,

Mr. II. A.TIaigh advises well il
his law article in American Agrical
turist for June, from which we clip
the following;
To avoid ligitation, let the farmer
hook upon a lawsuit ina fair business
way, as means to an end; and let
him not undertake the one unless the
other will justify it, not only in NOR,
ais, but in money. So, too, if the
farmer is sued, let him fairly consider
whether it will be cheaper to pay the
claim or fight it, and in most cases he
will do well to follow the cheaper
course. If be finds the opposite party
Is acting in good faith, with no intent
of extorting, and in honest belief that
the demand is just, he will endeavor
90 settle amicSbly. And in this effort
his lawyer will be Of most valuable
service, and should be well paid.
Many persons seem to suppose that if
n esse is settled before trial, or if n
claim is adjusted without suit, that
the lawyer has done no really legal
work, and is entitled to little or no
compensation. This is the opposite
of truth. The lawyers best work is
in preventing and avoiding litigation,
Just as the doctors most valuable
service should be in preventing dis
ease, and such work should be best
appreciated in a Substantial way. a
good lawyers best clients seldom get
into the courts. Another prccaution
TO avoid litigation is to consult an
honest and competent attorney before
taking any step in the law, and to be
guided by his unbiased advice. 1t is
possible in almost every community
to find honest lawyers who would no
sooner advise their clients into disas-
trous litigation for the sake of possible
personal gain, than W0Hld honest doc,
bors give poison 10 their patients for
she sake Of ProIonging sickness and
increasing fees; for either is equally
criminal. Such a lawyer need not
necessarily be Que of very long and
high standing. whose time and ser
vices, by reason of the demand upon
them, have become costly. Bnt there
aTc generally younger men in a com
muriiy who have early learned that
satisfying professional SUCCESS can
only he achieved by honest aud an
selfish eRsleavers for their clients best
interests, and who are quietly acting
upon that conviction, by second IA
saue; if not by first. Try not to have
any differences Such as you have
try to settle yourselves. Such as You
thus fail in, have your Iawy ers try to
settle. Never 60 to law to CRAFTY
anger or pride or for any dishonest
motive. When you do 90 to law treat
the matter as q business transaction.

Aching Feet.


A great many women complain OF
their feet aching badly. There arc
many remedies. A change of shoes
is great rest to aching feet, SO is a
bath in either hot or cold water; brisk
rubbing with crash towel; lying
down for few minutes rest, laying
them up on another chair, or even rub
bling with a dry towel, bending the
toes this way and that withfthe hands,
and sometimes rubbing with salt
and water or vinegar and water. No
wonder our faithful old travellers who
have stuck to us through thick and
thin, and through all seasons and
times and places, do grow weary in
0beying our wishes.
If the feet are horny and hot on
the soles, that is easily remedied.
Battle them in tepid water at bed
time, and then oil or grease them be-
fore retiring, aud they will soon be-
come soft Is q baby's feet. 1t is a
wonderful relief, and brings one
great degree Of satisfaction. One can
lie while with the feet ont Of bed
and an old sheet or cloth nndeE and
about them to save bed elethes.

Order ON tlle Farm.


Many farmers fail in making Their
farms profitable for want of order.
/ Whether on Il small farm where the
work is all done by the owner, or on
a large farm where several hands are
employed, there musl be an early and
a regular hour for rising la the morn
ing. Each hand or man should k low

to do in the morning, ami if possible

first employment, then lac can go at
them without waiting for orders. If
he is to use a team, he can have it
fed, curricd aud hancssed ready.
The wagon or implement he is to use
can be oiled and in place ready to
hitch to. The proPrietors must make
stories short with common callers, aud

if there is any tendency to rot, this
can be counteracted by sprinkling
of air-slacked lime.
