Der father used to say Just as soon as
you undertake to work for any one you
must boar in mind that you have sold
yourself to him for the given time.
Your time. your strength, your energy
are his, and your best efforts to seek
his interests in every way are his
due. ~
The earnest tone in which the boy
spoke seemed to give assurance that he
would pay good heed to the words Of
the father whose counsels could no
more reach him.
For two or three days longer Jack
had reason TO hold to his opinion that
there were more boys than the world
wanted, at the end OF which time he
met with business man. who, after
questioning him closely. said:

said Jack. eagerly. So he was installed,
and proud enough he was at bringing
his wages home every Saturday night,
and realizing that, small as they were,
the regular help was of great value to
his mother.
II is not to be wondered at that the
faithful carrying out OF his fathers ad-
monition after awhile attracted the at
tcntion, not only OF his employers, but
OF others with whom he was brought
into contact in the pursuit Of his da-
ties.
One day he was asked into the Office
OF Mr.. Lang. a gentleman to whom he
frequently carried parcels OF value.
Have you ever thought Of changing
your situation?" asked Mr.. Lang.

do him good he does it. Many persons who
have been blind for years are now, thanks to
DR.. Prentice, walking tee streets and reading
the newspapers! Give DIR. Prentice any
ground to work on and he perfects a cure. In
all diseases of the head, throat and chest he
appears to be equally successful. His brother
physicians are forced to admit that many of
his cures are almost miraculous. His success
lies in the fact that r" as had a great deal OF
experience in r. european hospitals, uses the
finest surgical Instruments now used, and
avails himself of all the latest improvements

FAST TIM E.
The 3-Year-OId Axtei Beats the
Record.

CHICAGO, Aug. pa great days sport
was had at Washington park to-day.
AXtel, the phenominal 3-year-old, trotted
to beat his own record, and did so, max
ing mile In 2:14. Another 3-year-old,
the bay stallion Allerton in the third
heat OF a bruising race made the circuit
of the track in 2;lsh.
AxtePs mile clips thrcc-quarters of II
second from his former record of 2:liM.
Notwithstanding the fact that even that
was better than the best previous per-
formnnce by 3 or i-year-olds. Ii is also
within three-quarters of second of
Patrons 2:13I, which stands as the best
record for stallion of any age.
The circumstances under which this
record was made are likely to give rise
to endless discussion as TO whether IL
was re, ord in race or against time.
Axtcl and Carl MacGregor were on tho
ca rd as starters in the stallion stake,
and the card also announced that Ak
tel would go to beat his own record.
Tho first heat was trotted under the
usual conditions of "a race, and served
merely as u warmer, being in 2,10. In
the next heat--that in which the record
was made--distancc was waived, and
Axtel had n running horse to accompa-
ny and encourage him. From the up
per turn to the finish, Carl MacGregor
being far behind, and cutting no figure,
IL should be said that the heat was
trotted fairly, and without q skip, to
within about seventy feet of the wire,
when, owing to bad Judgment in the
handling Of the runner, thelittle stallion
was startled into run, and galloped
under the wire. Whether or not he
gained by the break is an open ques-
