MAUD s. TO MAKE 2.OS.
The Famous Flyer In Training 10
Beat Her Record.

W. w. Bair arrived at Charter Oak
park with Maud 5. on Wednesday.
The stall occupied by the flyer is as
cosy a place for horse as Temporal
ry track quarters can furnish. The
floors are covered with straw, the
walls are hung with rich blankets
bearing Mr.. Nanderbilt's monogram
and the name of the little mare,
which has become more familiar to
the ears of Americans than that of
any other horse. A row OF trunks
containing stable implements lines
one side of the stall, while one ofthe
walls represents a repository Of
horse goods, such as bits, boots,
scrapers and a score of different ar
ticles which would puzzle even a
veteran turfman to fix in their places
in stable nomenclature. As Mr..
Bair threw of Maud's blanket she
playfully came over to the caller
and rested her head on his shoulder,
having a wistful look in her eyes.
"No, old lady," said her trainer,
"our friend didn't know you liked
sweets, so you'll have to do with
out" With this she turned away
and, taking a position which sug-
gested Just a bit of vanity, showed
her wonderful proportions. Mr.. Bair
said she had never been in better
condition at this time of the year
and that her weight on leaving Gin
cinnati was 995 pounds. AS he
closed the sliding door on the ami
NAL for the possession of which
100000 has been refused by her
millionaire owner, Mr.. Blair was
subjected to little catechising on
the intentions of Mr.. Vanderbilt
in relation to the reported attempt
to send the little mare in Dos.
"Of course you will commence
to work Maud 5. right away?"
Yes"
"Do you think her record will be
lowered here ?"
five have no accidents or hard
luck, feel confident she will make
mile on Charter Oak park that
will send her record below the
: tens"
"Of course Mr.. Vanderbilt will bt
here frequently during the sum
. mer?"
/ "Yes, he will get back from Eu
rope early in June and will be W
here twice a week for a month OF
. so, and will then return to the Other
. side"
Then tits pretty generally under
: stood that the anticipated contes
. against time will take place before
midsummer"
"Well, the fact is Mr.. Vanderbilt
has cautioned me against saying
, anything about it to newspaper mer
, but I'll keep you posted and per
haps you'll see a little fun out her,
in few weeks
Mr.. Bair drove Maud 5. mile a
Charter Oak Park yesterday morn
ing in 2;;22!, it being her first spur
this season. Aldine was sent roun'
in 2:29 and Early Rose in 2:22s.

Bad Medicine

A young physician who had long
worshiped a young lady was one
day suddenly called to attend her.
He found her suffering from no par.
ticularly dangerous malady, but she
wanted him to prescribe neverthe-
less so he took her hand and said
impressively::
well, | should = prescribe-I
should prescribe that-you-get-
married" ;"
"Oh, goodness !" said the interest.
ing invalid, "who would marry me

with all the voracity of a six-footed
pickerel.

Yes

ful alternative, you can 60 away

The Rage for Rugs.


Housekeepers spend a good many
early hours of the morning in the
pursuit of house furnishing details.
There is very much to interest the
most tasteless mortals in these de-
partments, and there appears to be
no limit to the enticing novelties
which are sprung upon the unwary
buyer.
Artistic rugs and carpetings are as
variable in their fashions as more
frivolous matters. What is newest
is not always best, but the shopkeep-
ers say that the housekeepers hold to
"newnessY above all other virtuous
qualifications. Floors are prima-
nv consideration, where the house
is to be furnished for the season.
The beautiful Wiltons are deserv-
edly called the Queen of carpets.
Nothing surpasses them in durabili-
ty or elegance of design. Soft and
rich as velvet, they are medium
for color which the artistic sense
never fails to appreciate. This
spring the patterns are copies OF
Turkoman rugs, the fine antique
tints peculiar to Oriental looms be-
ing exactly reproduced in figures
that recall dark cashmere or the bor-
ders of those priceless Prayer rugs
which first set lFsthetica raving.
The faded colors have rather gone
out, those antique colorings so long
admired, but in their stead is a rich
India glow combined with a full
blooded love of warmth that is pure
ly Eastern.
Close figure or mere phantoms OF
figures are marked peculiarity OF
these new patterns, Dragon green,
that resembles a rich English moss,
deep reddish brown, that are not
quite terra Gotta, and silver Indian
blues are favorite colorings.
After the Wiltons the new Glasgow
rugs are noticeable, and these are so
Oriental in texture and design that
\ Daghestan may well be jealous. II
is heresy to suggest that they are
even an improvement over the often
slovenly and unequal rugs from the
East. They are by no means cheap,
and deserve the rank they have
attained. Golden browns and In.
dian blue and reds are thought to be
most effective colors for country
houses. There is a fancy to throw
handsome rugs over plazzas, and
when occasion requires lawns are
made gayer by their addition. In
deed rugs play so importanta part III
household economy or extravaganza
as to be classed among the fashiona
BILE necessities.

IN ,ae Grave Days Of Old.

A correspondent Of the Chicago Inter
Ocean, writing from the ancient town Of
Yarmouth, Me-, says. There are some
good stories told about the old meeting
house, of which nothing remains now
but the vane, which some enthusiastic
antiquarians have placed upon "the
edge'-one Of the hills of the town. IL
was the first church built in Maine. In
those days every man carried his musket
to church with him, and these were
stacked outside the door, while the sem
tinels kept watch during the service, and
others were posted at different points
through the town. One quiet Sabbath,
while the preacher held forth upon the
ruin of unbclicvers, and the congrega-
ton slumbcred peacefully in their high
backed pews, a signal gun was heard
from the Princes Point Station. An
other sharp report followed, and still an
other. The minister did not wait for
tic filthy in his discourse, but dashed
down the pulpit stairs and joined the
excited multitude outside. From their
commanding situation theysaw strange
craft sailing mp Casco Bay. 1t carried
no colors. They could see no men on
its deck. After hurried consultation
it was decided to send an armed depu-
tation TO Princes Point to find out tho
mission of the mysterious vessel. The
women and children, with few men for
defence, remained on the hill, while the
heroic band marched down to the point
and awaited the arrival of the stranger.
An hour passed and they returned. The
bark was schooner from down the
coast which had sailed up for timber

Advice To a Young Man.

You will perceive, my boy, that every
time man undertakes to manufacture u

Notifying failure of it. He is caught
at it, and i'll one-tcnth the time i, took
him to conceive his fraud in MS many
hours as il took him months TO prepare
it, he is exposed, and his hand made adj
dtion to the Bible is swept away in the
other rubbish Of other counterfeitcrs.
You see, my son, the Bible doesn't need
any Of these 10Th century proofs of its
truth; it needs the word of no man to
establish its genuincness; it has stood by
itself, ian anvil that has worn ont many
hammers" through century after ccn-
fury, unchanged and Interchangeable.
Eycry time man manufactures new
verse or new chapter, We know it is
not genuine, we detect the counterfeit.
The Bible has no need of the support
ing prop of fraudulent ark or leather
Deuteronomy. There was complete
Bible centuries before Shapiro hap
pencd and there will be the same Bible
ages after Shapiro and his patent Deu-
teronomy have together crumbed
into indistinguishable dust. The
Bible doesn't need our help, our testi-
mony, our Endorsement. And II there
had never been discovered in all tho
world, n bit Of parchment, piece of
pottery or scratched stone the Bible
would be Just as strong M it is to-day,
and men would believe just Ms firmly
and trustfully in its truth. Don't you
worry, my boy, because Shapira's an
cient manuscript was written with Lon
don ink, and don't fret because the ark
in the glacier turns out to be put to-
gethcr with Pittsburg nails. That all
the frauds on the Bible and its history
are so quickly and easily detected,
should only convince you how impossi-
bic it is for man to counterfeit the work
Of God. Wait until some man fools us
with an artificial moon; and until some
philosopher stores away tho sunlight in
parlor lamps, before you believe that
man can successfully initiate what man
never made. BURDETrg.
