Westmont Fails to Lowrr the Ieecortl.


PITTsBURG, July IA crowd 4of over eight
thousand spectators visited Homeweod, this
afternoon, to witness the attempts of j. NJ Hills
famous PAGER, Westmont, to lower his record.
The track was fast.and the weather all that
could be desired Westmont WAS brought out
at o'clock, with Peter ". johnson ON the sull1y,
and Firebrand as a running mate. While he
was being warmed up for 1.-THE first heat it was
evident Westm0nt WIS in excellent condition,
and bets were freely offered that he could do
better than at Chicago. He got away in splen-
did style at the first attempt, and paced the
entire mile without a skip. The work on the
home stretch was magnificent, and was loudly
applauded. The announcement of Time how
ever, showed that the Chicago record of 2,012
had not been equaled by "a quarter of second.
The figures were two minutes and two seconds.
The last quarter WAS the fastest, and
was made in 29k seconds. Two other attempts
We're made, but were unsatisfactory, owing to
the fact that in the first Westmont cut himself
in six places. He broke badly on the second
mile, and was worse in the third Time of the
second mile 2:l8; third mile, 2:26 The purse
was $500, with $500 added to beat the record
The other events were also interesting. Much
to ehe surprise of the spectators the first race
was won by Harry Wilkes, q horse comparative
ly unknown, in three straight heats Summary
of the first race the 2:23 class, trotting for
purse of 81 800:

BuryfnS an Executtoner's Sword.
Exchange


A Paris contemporary gives, from adj
vance sheets of the memoirs about to see
the light of Henry Heine, an account of
a curious episode in the life of Sefchen,
the friend of Heines child, the beautiful
daughter of a public executioner. One
night number of elderly strangers as
sembled at her fathers house, and ranged
themselves round stone table in a half
circle. They remained long seated by
torchlight, whispering together. Then
each in turn emptied large goblet of
wine, and all shook hands with
effusion. Then her grandfather, also
an executioner, recited something
which Sefchen, in her hiding
place, could not catch; while tears
rolled down his cheeks, and the other
executioners began to show like emotion.
Then all Quilted their seats, doffing the
red mantles they had worn, and walked
two and two to the foot OF tree, where
one, taking up spade, dug deep
trench. Then Sefchen's grandfather,
who alone had not doffed his mantle,
approached, and drew from his folds a
long white packet This he carefully
placed in the trench, which he hastily
covered with earth
Five years later Sefchen learned that
the packet thus tremendously buried
was the sword with which her grand
father had cut off the heads Of 100 con-
demned By ancient custom, when this
number had been reached the instrument
was regarded as having sort of sacred
ness and as a thing to be put wholly

A Wonderful Dream.
New York Tines

A correspondent in foreign scientific
contemporary tells this story about
dreaming: In the summer of 1922,
when an undergraduate of Trinity coll
lege, Cambridge, I was permitted to
reside in college rooms during the sum-
mer long vacation. As fires were not
wanted in our sitting rooms it was GUS
tomary for each residents bed maker or
other officer to carry his water kettle
for breakfast and tea to the college
kitchen and bring it back with
water boiling. On one occasion I
had oversight my usual hour, and I
dreamed dream. I was at the gate
of a country farmyard well known to
me, and there came long process
sion of horses. asses, oxen, hogs, sheep,
and oil the animals usually to be found
in a farnayard, followed by north
country drover with his plaid crossed
over his shoulders, who walked up to
me and said: Sir, have brought
your CATTLE In an instant I perceived
and actually heard $50 intimately were
the auditory sounds and the intellect
ual Interpretation intermixe6 that my
bed maker was at my chamber door
calling to me: Sir, have brought
your kettle The hearing had been
confused; there had been no reasoning /;
but there had been instantaneous vigor
of creative imagination.

was in court few days ago." said
time-worn Etigant, when q young
lawyer, arguing before Judge Joseph
Barnard, read from one of the papers
in the case including the usual verbi-
age. The Judge suggested briefer
statement of the point, probably believ-
ing, with the judge of the supreme court
in the anecdote, that justices may be
presumed to know something of the
forms of law. The young man then
stated his point in plain and condensed
English. The idea then struck me,
when would it be possible to relieve
the law of all the fummery Of verbiage
now employed.
I'm actual proceedings beforea magis-

some INSCRIPTIONS lawyers make their
living are based upon this needless use

was present could give him no encour-
agement to look for speedy reform; !;

that the verbiage of the law was as nee

GROWTH OF THE cRAvER.
Income of a First-Class Engraver-
Work on Magazines.
IROSf0n Herald

Income OF q Ftrst.CIaSS En%raVer-
Work on Magazines.
Boston Herald
a generation ago the engraver used to
be considered of comparative unimpor-
tance, and he was remunerated accord
ingly. Within fifteen or twenty years,
however, he has come to the front, and
now he divides both glory and profit
with the artist on more equitable
scale.
The magazines, you know, apparently
consider it as mucn of an advertisement
to mention the engraver's name as that
of the designer. The former have thus
become much more independent, and a
great many of them, if they don't like a
drawing, won't have anything to do
with it.
A proportion of the leading engrayers
are fairly we'll off. I know number of
them who may be worth from $50, 900 to
$75,0 900. Yet there is not enough money
in the business to make a man rich, as
we reckon riches nowadays.
The income of a irst-class engraver
ranges, perhaps, from So, 500 to Sc, 900
or 81, 900, the average being nearer to the
first mentioned figures, while those who
get the latter can be counted upon your
fingers In an establishment like Har-
per's, the engraver who works by the
week receives probably from $50 to $50.
The amount paid per piece for work, of
course, varies very much, according to
the size of the drawing and the nature
of the subject. Speaking in a general
way, the expense of engraving draw
ing that costs $40 would range from 500
to 800. In the "Lady Of the Lake.
there are two sketches, for which Frost
was paid $50 each, that brought $12O
apiece to the engraver 1t costs from
800 to $3.50 to engrave Gibson's work.
The illustrated magazines, as | have
intimated, were a potent agent in put
ting up the prices of engraving by in.
