Sired by New York Dictator.

In the Canadian Sportsman of January
25th there is good likeness and sketch
of Mr.. Fred A. Folger's horse Doctor
Carver, whose sire New York Dictator
belongs to Mr.. VIM. NJ. Singerly and il,
at the Elkton Stock Farm.
Doctor Carver is bay horse, foaled
June II, 1885. at Locust Grove Stock
Farm, Paris, Ky. He is by New York
Dictator $4,000; first dam Kitty Morgan
the dam of Mamie Talbot, 294; second
dam thoroughbred.
The Doctor started in a -year-old
stake at Falmouth, Pendleton County,
Ohio, on Septemb Der IA, 1887, distancing
his field in the first heat and scoring for
himself record of 2 40 over half-mIle
track. Since his purchase by Mr.. Folger
the latter has tested his quality on a
Canadian race-course, and those who
were present at the August meeting last
year of the Wodobine Trotting Club had
an excellent opportunity of forming an
opinion as to his merits as three-y year
old.
On that occasion he started in the three
year-old stake against Lady May, Rifle
man, Jr, Ida Brock and Louis Membrino,
and captured the race in three straight
heats in As, 2 Az and 2 44s. In fact
the winner was never pushed In any heat
and had there been anything in the com.
pany fast enough to hustle him along he
would have very easily wiped out his two
year old record. He is very level
mover, has an easy, frictIonless gait that
apparently carries him over the ground
with little effort, and it was the opinion
of horsemen who saw him win at Wood
bine that he was about the most business
like actor for a colt that ever faced the
flag on that track.
His sire, New York Dictator (52OO),
was foaled in 1882, so that he was only a
two-y caro- when he sired Carver, thus
earning the distinction OF being one Of
only three stations that ever had to their
credit 2 40 performer at years OF age
He is by New York, 524. dam Ida T., by
Dictator, 113, second dam Polly, dam of
Novelty, three year-old G 2S3), by Tom
Hal (Clark's), son of Tom Hal (Shrop
shire's); third dam Bally, by Star High
lander (Veaoh's); fourth dam Starlight,
by Highlander (Veach's), son of Black
Higblander( Downing's fifth dam Stock
ings. by Whip (Redmond's), son of
Black burns Whip, New York, 524. The
grand sire OF DR.. Carver has to his credit
George W., 234; Hattie T., 29i; Nov
city (three-year- record 2 PSI, and
Reveille, 2 2li; and his grand dam Ida T.
was by Dictator, 113, the sire of the
champion stallion Phallas, Q 1873; Jay Eye
See, 10; Director, II; Code, 2 22i;
Endymion, 2 est; Lady Majolica, %,
Edge Hill, 2 25t, Isabella, 2 25a, and a
large number of others with records bet
ter than than Q 80.
Sufficient has been shown to conclu
sively prove that DIR. Carver springs from
one Of the most potent winning strains
on the American trotting turf.
Mr.. Singerly purchased New York
Dictator at Lexington, Ky last October.
New York Dictator will do stud service
at the Elkton Stock Farm, Elkton, Md,
the coming season.

Captain Margaret G. Cline, . rather
pretty young lady of modest demeanor who
with Lieutenant Skidmore instituted the
| Salvation Army meetings in Elkton less
| than three months since, WAS married on
Tuesday evening to Major VIM. J. Cozens,
Of England, now in charge Of the Salvation
forces at Pittsburg, Titusville. Connellsville,
Pa, and vicinity. The ceremony was per-
| formed at the Salvation Army barracks in
| Frederick, Md, at ten o'clock. The bride
| Joined the Salvation forces there about two
| years ago, and has been an active worker.
| Her father, mother and one brother are also
| mem bers. Her father is Nicholas o. Cline,
prominent citizen of Frederick, and she
is a niece OF Col. George 7. Cline, a former
resident Of Frederick, and now wealthy
real estate man in Chicago. Cozens has been
stationed in California and other Western
states until recently, when he was called to
the Eastern field. Previous to the wedding
a bridal banquet WAS served in Junior Hall
Many persons pa1took of the feast, and 1t
was m ade the occasion of much gaiety. The
| interior of the barracks where the wedding
| took place was handsomely decorated for
| the occasion. An admission fee of ten cents
was charged to the barracks to witness the
wedding ceremony. Among the prominent
Salvationists on tho platform were Com
mander Ballington Booth and wife. The
bride was accompanied up the aisle by her
mother and Captain Cartright. She woe

When Mike went up stairs he made more
noise than a bowling alley, and when he
went down he made more noise than when
he went up. And he was always

When Mike received that leg from the
hands of the editor, on the day before
Christmas, he was so deeply affected that
tears trickled down his whiskeTs and hC
started for home, carrying the new peg or
his arm, wrapped in stout brown paper.
Somewhere about the dim and misty
midnight Mike walked into Barney Nc
Ginty's place.
"Lsmme show ysz de illigint new leg

Mike, when he had blown up against the
bar, and made fast to it.

"Eh, but it's the new wan under me

While Mike was delivering this speech
he had been frantically feeling ali over
himself for the new wooden leg, but it was
gone. He looked on the bar and under
the bar and on the floor, and the more be
looked for the leg the more the conscious
ness that he had lost it blinded his eyes
with tears, until at last No Ginty had to
drag him out of a far corner of the saloon
where he was trying to pull the real, live
leg off one of McGinty's customers who
had gone to sleep on the floor.
"Lemme git at him, the thafe, " howled
Mike. He's stole me leg an put 1t on
himself, so be has"
He was with difficulty persuaded that
the unoffending inebriate was wearin gonly
the legs which nature had given him.
When this melancholy truth was at last
thoroughly dissolved in the alcohol that
filed his brain, he began to bemoan his
fate in a manner most pitiful to hear. Nc
Ginty was skeptical as to the existence Of
any wooden leg except the one Mike was
wearing, but he tried to find out where the
old man had been in order to send him
back over the same route. This was by
no means easy. The only places Mike
could remember were the first two ne had
visited, and he was far too sober in that
early stage of the evening to have left 1t
there. He sat for time trying to remem
Der. His grief had sobered him a little

in his recollection.

Mike started out full of this idea, but uu-
fortunately he got detected from his pur-
pose. Every saloon he passed looked so
natural that ne went in to see if anybody
inside had seen a stray wooden leg. In one
of thege he saw fat and jOyisl German
who had dropped in on bis way home to
have glass Of beer. He had one OF those
long cylindrical leaves of bread under his
arm and when Mike saw it he was wild
with delight. 1t was jnst about the shape
of the missing leg, snd Mike felt certain
that he had found the missing member
He precipitated himself upon the unsus-
Meeting German and a wild struggle en-
sued. in the course Of which Mike was
elected from the saloon, having not only
failed to secure the bread but having
kicked off his faithful old wooden leg into
the bargain. An hour or so later he was
found by a policeman standing on one

What is the life of a fashionable and

Of the days routine:
She plays with the children.

+ She arrsnges for the reception Of yisi-
tors, expected or unexpected.
She takes turn At Herbert Spencer.
She settles dispute between butler and
gardener-the gardener having given or

She confutes the French governess, who
complains Of the eldest daughter.
She soothes the boarding school master

She paCifes tenant who wants his rent
reduced and doesn't like being bitten on
the leg by pet msstiff.
She goes for drive with her husband.
She opens a music hall and makes a
speech.
She reads the Bible TO a sick woman in
the parish.
She receives her guests.
She explains to her husband why the fsh
isn't up to the mark.
And then, perhaps, she writes an article
for a monthly magazine. No wonder that
nervous exhaustion is becoming as frequent
among hsrd-living women ss govt among
