three in five heat,. Phallas was driven q
usual by Edwin D. Bithes, while Frank
yanness held the reins over Wilkes. The
track was III perfect order. TheTbettins
was brisk, Phallas ruling q big fayorite be-
fore the start at Sl0O to s2s, and the same
odds on the stallion were forthcoming in
any amount even after the first heat had
fallen to Wilkes. The race was eventually
won by Wilkes, who took the first, second
and fourth, the details OF which are as
follows: "A 4
sFirst,heat: After three false scores u
which Wilkes broke Just before reaching
the wire, a fair start wss effected, Wilkes
securing 3 hall lengths lead before the
dua1 ter was reached aud holding 1t 70 the
head OF the stretch, where Phallis leit his
feet and the gelding won by two open
lengths In 2:l6.
Second heat: The word "Gon was given
at the second trial and Wilkes broke badly
before he was dozen yards past the wire,
Phallis having six lengths the lead at the
quarter and almost as much at the hail.
as the pair approached the three.qusrters
post Wilkes went up with surprising ease,
Phallas coming back as II anchored, and
on the turn into the stretch the gelding
went by him like a streak, holding. his
lead to the wire, when he was two lengths
to the goal in 2:20.
/ Thru heat: Wilkes having won the pre-.
ceding heat with such apparent ease, the
betting was completely changed and alter
a few pools had been sold at 500 TO $50 in
his favor the odds increased to- las high as
Si50 TO 500. They were sent away at the
second trial, Wilkes breaking so badly in
the first 100 yards that he lost all chance
and was distance behind at the half
mile. At the three-quatt Phallas made
a momentary break and Wilkes shut up a
fraction Of the gap, but although he
trotted very strong and steady in the
stretch Phallas got the verdict by dozen
lengths amid loud cheering. Time 2:2l1.
Fourth heat-The pools now averaged
s25 TO SIG in favor Of Wilkes, and the
layers OF the odds were rewarded by see
ing their favorite win handtly by ten
after being apparently beatin at
the half mile. Phallas broke badly Just
before reaching the three.quarter pole,

The plea that this government ought 70
intsrfere in Riel's behalf on the ground
tha. be is citizen Of the United States, is
good for nothing. Riel melted and led q
rebellion he had fair trial and has been
sentenced to pay the penalty. The ex-
pediency Of executing the sentence Is for
another government, notours, to decide.
American citizenship is not a protection
for men who plot against friendly powers.
Il Riel, for example, didn't like British
rule, he might have continued to live
under the American flag. Ifhe preferred
to dieunder the British flag that is no

THE ROTHSCHILDS.

The great banking house of Roths-
childs originated in Frankfort, Ger
many, about $50 years ago. The
founder of the house dealt in old
clothes and had for sign red shield
which in German, is roth schild. The
son of this old clothes dealer contin-
ued the same business, became pawn
broker and loaned money. He sue
ceeded so well that he died in 1912
leaving fortune OF S5,000,000. He
bound his five sons by a solemn oath
to follow the business together, hold
ing the property in partnership, and
extending their operations so that all
the world should know the firm of
Rothschild. The sons were true to
their oath. They occupied the great
financial centers of the world and
worked for the common interest.
Nathan in London prospered wonder
fully. He witnessed the battle of
Waterloo, and by extraordinary efforts
reached London in advance of the
official couriers. He reported a great
victory for Napoleon, and stocks went
down to almost nothing. He refused
to buy, but had scores of agents pur-
chasing. The next day Wellington's
messenger arrived. The truth was
known, and stocks went up. By this
single lie the great house of Roths-
child made s5,000,000. After that
the firm rolled in wealth. 1t made
its power felt in the palace of every
ruler in the far East and this West
ern world at the Preside of the New
England farmer, and in the log cabin
of the pioneer. The Rothschilds of
to-day have the spirit of their ances-
tors. They WELD a dangerous pow
er. They have but to set their com
binations to work to affect the price
of the daily bread of every laborer in
the civilized world. With their en-
couragement kings and emperors
stand ready to rush into bloody wars.
1t is in their power to give us flush
times or to bring on a general panic.
Doubtless the world would be better
off without them.

THE FORTUNE OF A YOUNG MAN

Every young man has a fortune in
the fact of his youth. The energy of
youth is unblunted by defeat or worn
by hope deferred. With age one be-
comes more conservative, and looks
at as impossible what younger per
son would endeavor to accomplish,
in many cases, with success. Self
confidence, or self conceit., if you
wish to call it 50, is a great thing. A
young mans fortune is not to be
found in inherited wealth or social
position. Gracious manners of bust
ness habits are good things to cult
vate, but are not all. VIII power is
the young mans fortune. 1t is the
essence of the man. A young man
with only little will power is fore
gone failure. Itshould be cultivated.
Genius is a gift of God, and should
not cause pride but an honest pur-
suit of duties is an exhibition of will
power, and is something to be proud
Of. Well-directed, educated will
power is what a young man needs.
