street and asked the driver to abandon

under his charge. He told her to go to
the devil. and as a means of self employ

hammer the horse. Miss Ingersoll called
upon bystander to interfere. The by

Finally the reporter allowed himself to be
persuaded into buying a gross of "Carrib-

always lay particular stress on 'corns,
warts and bunions,' said the little man as
he gave the reporter ten cents change out of
a quarter for a package of the wonderful
beans. Everybody has corns, warts, or
bunions, and for every corn, wart or bunion
in the human family there are nearly dozen
remedies. People buy these things, try em
on themselves, and are perfectly satisfied
when the corn doesn't cure. They've tried so
many remedies that they believe theirs is
the only incurable corn in the world"

he continued, ~ would advise you to study

Strangely enough, he was selling the identi-

Percentage Paid for Betting.

Comparatively few people are aware of the
percentage they pay the bookmakers of
race track for the privilege of betting. Com
mon sense teaches that these men, having
such large expenses to meet, must have
pretty sure thing on the books, but there are
not many who walk up to the stand and place
their money who realize the full meaning of
their chances. BookmaEers figure to get
about so per cent. of all the money bet. This,
of course, is sometimes varied, according to
circumstance, but it is on that basis they ar
range their books, and the natural result is
that man who goes to the races with $500
and bets regularly 500 each day, if he should
win the same number of bets each day that
he loses, the amounts of each bet being fairly
averaged, he will find that in about two
weeks his $500 has dwindled away in percent
ages that the bookmakers have taken.
An average race is about eight horses, and
the odds are consequently 81 to 81 against
the better To make an absolutely square
book the odds should be so placed that the
total would be equal to s64 to S.. Instead
of this, however, they are placed to give
the bookmaker a clear 80 per cent This per.
centage in all gambling has been carefully
figured, and it shows that player cannot
hold his own with ordinary good luck pitted
against ordinary bad luck; he must have
from 30 to so per cent. more good luck than
bad to keep anywhere near even.-Chicago

SOUND MINDS AND BODIES.
The Old Maxim Called in Ouestion-What
Healthy Invalid" May Do.


It is a serious question whether, in these
day of health lifts, rowing machines, chest
weights and bean bags, rather exaggerated
ideas are not held out to the public as to the
spiritual benefits to be confidently relied on
from the diligent use of these. The old
maxim, "a sound mind in sound body" is
pretty severely put to it's trumps when it has
to maintain lis dignity against practical
illustrations
OF course, the old Greeks and Romans, or
whoever invented the saw originally, merely
meant that if man only had sound mind,
he could do a great deal more with it If it
were in a sound body. The modern bean
bag professors, however, can never content
themselves with so moderate statement as
this. Tone up your muscular system, they
insist, and forthwith the whole Sermon or
the Mount will enter in and take possession of
the soul. Their favorite illustration is taken
from the goings on of the baby. Who ever
knew baby, they say, that nurses well and
sleeps well, to fret and cryG Well, that is
simply because he rs baby, little animal,
with few physical wants. Once satisfy
these, and the baby does not know enough to
ask for anything more.
But a grown man is not a baby. He may
be strong enough to digest food that would
distress an ostrich, to sleep like alternating
bear and to tramp forty miles on stretch,
and still be a moody, morose, discontinued
and querulous fellow. His mind cannot di-
gest the tough experiences of life, and his
irritable spirit never gets the mental sleep
and refreshment OF trust and peace in a
higher power. One good healthy invalid
like Robert Louis Stevenson. with a sound
mind in a crazy rattletrap of body, has
more brace and IMMIGRATION in him than
scores of athletes who have sought their sole
spiritual instruction from dumb bells and
rowing machines. With a quarter Of lung
he breathes in more tonic mountain air than
they with lungs like the bellows of forging
shop. No man can abolish his ancestors. If
they bequeathed him dyspepsia, consump-
ton or nervous exhaustion he will have to
fight it out on that line. But let him only
say: ~ mean to make small capital win
big fortune" and ten to one he will get
more genuine satisfaction and profit out of
life than thousands who contemporary dis
miss him as not having body enough to set
up peanut stand on.
The naked fact is that sound men and
horses are about equally rare. How to make
the spawned and wind CALLED capable of
prancing and caracoling to the best advant-
age, is the practical question; and just here
is where the healthy invalids have their
blessed%nisSion in the world. A mere-ilLssi-
