Governor Curtin tells the following: rid

sylvania, l came across wounded Pennsylva-
mia soldier. He was leaning against a stump,
holding bloody Lex. dismounted and asked
him how ne was.
/" Is the bone broken ? inquired, as he ex-
planned his injury.
Mo said he cheerfully, only a bullet
through the flesh Still he was faint and
thirsty.
What would You rather have just now. my
man z said |. If you had but one wish'-I was
thinking OF his home in the Pennsylvania hills

HE took the flask. held it In his hands a

soldier near by better give it to him. he said,
he needs IT more that do, poor follow. Yes,
give it to him.
I'VE turned to the latter For all we knew

every word and seemed to understand the stu

THE GREAT FUTURlTY.
Horses That VIII Contest for the Richest
Stake In the World.

Next Saturday, at the opening of the fall
meeting Of the Coney Island Jockey Club, the
big futurity stake will be run for This is
without doubt the richest stake in the world
This will be the third futurity race, and the
prize this year, with fifteen starters will easily
net the winner e70,0Oo Last year the race was
one OF the seasons big upsets, being won by
Chads. rank outsider. whose owner carried
on S62,550. The year before Proctor Knott
was the victor, and Sam Bryant .pocketed
S45 GOO on his chestnut geiding's speed.
There were originally 9l5 entries for this
| years futurity, since when the memorable sift-
ing process has been going on and only about
nfteen youngsters will face the starter on Sat-
urday. only four or i've Of whom will stand
much show of carrying of the big prize.
Colts this year in the futurity are to carry
lls pounds instead Of lis, as formerly, and the
weight for the geldings and dllies has been
raised from liz pounds to lis The allow
| ance for maidens, too, is made ten pounds in
! stead Of seven.
Among the horses spoken Of AZ possible win
ners of the race this year are Theodore Win
ter's colt Rsy del Rey and August Belmonts
colt Potomac. The former is maiden and
will carry los pounds, while the latter will
carry 1lS pounds Both these colts are we'll
spoken OF and both will carry large sums of
money.
Fitzpatrick will probably ride Rey del Rey,
while Hamilton WILL be up on Potomac.
! These are not, however, the only horses who
| may prove dangerous. Strathmeath's Junior
Champion will carry l24 pounds and will make
things lively. Bergen will probably be the
rider, as Murphy will ride Marcus Days Mon
tana.
Ambulance's penalties aggregate seven
pounds, and as she gets no allowances her
weight will be l22 pounds. On dry track 122
pounds would not stop her. Ambulance is ex-
ceedingly dangerous. Russell has all the pen
alties that the law allows, and will have to carry
| 100 pounds if he starts. Reckon's weight will
| be the same as Ambulance s-122 pounds-un-
less she receives an allowance of three pounds
| through her DAM which would make her carry
l19 pounds. Sallie McCIelland's victory in the
great Eclipse stakes gave her twelve pounds
extra. but all allowance of three pounds through
her dam places her weight at l25 pounds.
Lite is too short to calculate the weights to
be carried by the other possible starters 1t
| looks as though the race ought to lie between
those mentioned

A Rat Made Useful.


The main telegraph wires in London run
through the subways in which the gas pipes
and sewers are placed. The principal arteries
are 30 large that it is easy enough for men to
work In them, but the pipes through which the
side wires branch off are much smaller. and
great care has to be taken to preserve the
connection between the main and the lateral
wires. Some time ago men were repairing
one OF these latter, and carelessly omitted to
attach it to q leading line by which it could be
drawn to its place when mended. The blunder
seemed likely to have serious consequences
for it was thought that the whole of the
lateral pipe would have to be dug up in
order to get at the broken wire. But one
OF the men came to the rescue with a
happy thought, suggesting that rat
should be procured and with fine piece
OF wire attached to it. sent through the pipe.
This was done, but to the dismay OF the work
men, the new hand came to a stop after it had
gone few yards. The inventor of this idea
was not yet, however, at the end of his re-
sources, and by his advice a ferret was pro-
cured and started on the dilatory rats track.
There was a moment of suspense before it was
settled whether the rat would show fight or
run away, but this was soon ended by the paw
Ing out OF the wire and in a short time the
latest addition to the staff of the post Office ap-
peared at the other end of the pipe. II was
caught the wire detached and then it was Sc
free IN recognition Of the service it had rem
dered. BY means Of the wire the telegraph
line was secured and long and laborious
piece Of work saved.

But it is not alone in numbers that the great
increase of advertising is shown. The larger
