being filled by young men who pump the
wells and take care of the leases. With the
use of natural gas and autom attic inspira-
tors, with one boiler running the engines
for all the leases or lots on which producing
wells are situated, the men find but little to
do. The man On the lease visits the wells
in the morning. turns on the gas, touches a
match to it, sets his insprator, oils his en-
CINE, takes gage of the oil, and has nothing
more to do all day unless something breaks
down. To make the most of their spare
time the boys rig what they call tell-tale
wire running from one lease TO the others.
This wire is attached TO the walking-beam
of the well at one lease and to a wooden
ticker at the other, and by this
means the pumper at No. l is en-
abIed to spend his time with his friend at
No. 2, or vice versa. and know all the time
just how fast his engine is going a half mile
or so away. As long as the ticker responds
regularly the two bumpers and other ac-
quaintances sit and handle the pasteboardS
and risk their months wages on their skill
or luck. If tho players belong to the same
state the rules of the game are not drawn
too fine, and a winner will be willing to take

bet and everything be settled as the game
proceeds. Within radius of two miles OF
this poker-playing settlement there are ten
games in constant progress. Orders on en-
ployerS for wages are accepted as cash in
these games, and it is no uncommon thing

Miss Rose Cleveland's latest poem, enti-
tied ''The Dilemma of the Nineteenth Cen
tury." is weak as literary work, and we
find in the newspaper extracts from it very
little to commend, any way. AS near as we
can make it out, this poem is snarl at
women folk, or class thereof. We Won
der why it is that when the average woman
takes her pen in hand she either snarls or
whines. We seem to have but two kind Of
female writers in this Countrywide first is
composed of those who are eternally moan
ing about the woes of the dOWn-trodden
sex; the other is made up of
those whose delight is in satirizing
women. Good men everywhere believe
in and reverence the feminine sex, but their
advocacy of the best rights Of woman finds
in the work of these two classes of female
writer's the worst obstacle in the way to
achieving those rights. We can have some
patience with the snivelers. for it is woman
ish, if not womanly. to SWIVEL, but we have
no patience with those women, who. under
the false pretense of doing their sex a
service, satirize and blackguard it. Abuse
of any class of wOmankind is neither
womanish nor womanly; it is intOlerable
whether it comes from an insOly ent wearer
of bifurcated attire, or from pert and
acerbated Ishmaelite fortified by petticoats.

A trotting race has been arranged to take
place on the I'd of April between Oliver K aud
Harry Wilkes st San Francisco. The latter
has q record of 2:14s4, and Oliver K has one
of 2:I6L. Thus it will be seen these two ami
mails are Just one second and half apart. 1t
is announced that the race is for $4,000 1t
is of course, among the possibilities that the
race may result according to the merits of
the two horses, but il is more than likely that
the result will depend largely upon the pool
box. These two horses have gone TO the Pa
cific coast for money more than for glory.

what Gra1tar Proposes TO Do.

Mr.. NJ. T. Grattan has very decided ideas
OF his own in regard to breeding the trOtter.
and these ideas he is always ready and
vii ling to maintain. There is still another
thing Mr.. Grattan is willing and ready to
do. and that is to put his stock into races
and iry conclusions. This is the test of the
trottar, and one that he must come SQuarely
I'D to ,or retire from the contest. Talk will
not su pply the lack of speed. What Mr..
Grattan proposes to do he tells in the follow
ing bold language:
To the e ittor of the Globe:
Is1NoUl rs, Fillmore County, Mimi, Dec. 21.-
You have it that Michael, by Herod, dam
Queen. by the Ware colt trotted half mile
in 3:OI. l gave $500 for Michael conditioned
upon his showing $40. He trotted a full
mile in 3:t1 over Stiles half-mile track at
DEBORAH la. As a yearling he could. when
fairly way-l vised, show $3.50, ard but little
was attemptt d with him. As two-year old,
MIR. Nash let him run out, not having time to
drive him. his year he got a little work,
and Mr. Mas would have started him in
three-year-old races, but engagements with
other horses did not take him where there
were any. Mi shael is very clever three
year old, and a credit to his driver, Nash. it
is my intention start him in such four-year
old races in 1887 as can conveniently reach.
The fastest fou r-year-old race trotted in
Minnesota in 1885 was won by a
colt of nv breeding, with another
of my breeding SCI eond, one a grandson .and
the ether a grand, laughter of King Herod.
In my opinion 'S7 W i'll be repetition of sc;
a grandson or grano daughter Of King Herod
will trot the best fou r-year-old race OF 81 in
Minnesota. To be pecifc, it will be either
Tareta by Trample. dam Magic by King
Herod, or Michael y Herod. son of King
Herod. John c. Kath an-not Kathron-owns
Tareta, and gave her two-year-old record of
sos. She can probabt trot as fast or faster
than Michael. but is not quite so reliable,
besides having been foaled several months
later in the season, is some disadvantage
in age. We feel quite roud Of our colt races
here in SO, they were so much faster than
those at the state fair and other Minnesota
fairs. My Morgan mare s produced the win
ners of races and recon is. Magic, by King
Herod, is the dam of StilI IS, four-year-old rec
ord, g 80; Topsy. by Bates Emperor, dam of Tai
isman. four-year-old re- cord, 2:59$4; Little
Queen, by King Herod. am of Temptation,
four-year-old record, Sc 0. Now, these are
the records; as matter of fact. ii is we'll
known that Stiles can trot in 2:35 or better,
and Temptation in 2:45. is there another
Minnesota breeding farm that started three
better four-year-olds in raa es during the sea-
son? With my six Morgan brood mares it is
my intention to try for first place next year
and the year after. As intend increasing
the number of my Morgan brood mares the
number of colts will be largo after a while,
and my chance better TO kegl in the lead.

Star ofrIe W est.

Those who were connected with the turf
in Minnesota fifteen years ago will without
difficulty cali to mind the fact that Capt. ID.
HEAVY. of Rochester, Mimi, used to own a
black stallion named Star of the West, that
ne trotted many times in different parts OF
the state, but principally in st. Paul and
NIinneapolis. This well-known stallion
made his record of 1868 in st. Paul. on
the track now oV Tned by Commodore Kilt
son at Midway. He was very spirited
horse. with a good deal of will power. and
had very resolute way of going. When in
the possession and management OF capt
Heanv he was scar celY ever in suitable
condition to trot h; !rd race, ana was tnere-
fore always at a great disadvantage. FOR
some years this wei l-knoWn stallion mas
been owned by Judge Walter L. hayes, OF
Clinton, Ia, and it is now thought tnat
when he bought him he made wise pur-
chase. on account of the number OF Drood
mares he has produced In speaking OIL
this matter a writer in the Breeders
Gazette saws that '.the N organ blood. like
that of Mambrino Patchen, seems most re-
liable in the female line. Judge Hayes has
reserved a son Of the old horse to take his
place some day. out of a mare by Romulus,
second dam by Relfs Mahlbrlno Pilot,
third dam by Strader's American Clay.
This youngster unites the blood of nearly
all the great families close uE-MOrgan.
Hambeltonian. Pilot. Jr., MambTino Chief,
American Star and Clay. The memory
of this well known animal calls to mind
the pleasant days when the late Gilbert
butcher was the landlord of the Metropoli-
tan hotel, and was the principal man IN the
establishing of the race track at Commodore
Kittson's place at Midway. He wal; OF
very energetic turn of mind, and, while
apparently quiet and unobtrusive, mad
most successful way of carrying forward
whatever he undertook. In those days the
Metropolitan was the headquarters of the
horsemen who came here from all parts OF
the state, and Star of the West, was one
of the most noted horses brought to this
point.

trouble injured very seriously his nervous

dren, two of which are sons. Mr.. Gold
smith was well read, enjoyed pictures and
a good library. He was fluent and ready
speaker, and cultivated gentleman. His
life and connection with horse breeding
have been so peculiar that his name will
probably be more closely connected with
the trotting horse than that of any othel
breeder.
