Why baldwin swallowed His Chow OF
Tobacco.
Two years ago Baldwin's horse Vo-
lante was to run one day mt Saratoga,
and Baldwin called Murphy up to the
grand stand and said:
Now, look here, Murphy, l don't
want any monkcying about this race
none Of your sensational finishes You
just cut the old horse loose aud send him
along from tho fall of the flag to tho
finish. I've got lot of money on this
race, and | don't want TO be worried
about the result
Murphy showed his white teeth In
smile Of acquiescence, and then in low
tone informed the ladies In Baldwins
party that he would snake the old man
faint away. When tho flag fell Murphy
pulled Volante back 10 fourth place and
held him steady around the first turn;
down the backstretch the leaders few,
with Murphy trailing along quietly ON
Volante as though he was out for a
pleasure ride Baldwin began TO kick,
and bit off a big chunk Of tobacco and
began to chew at tremendous rate IA
the horses rounded tho lower turn and
entered the stretch Murphy began NOV

impossibility for him 10 reach the lead
ers, but he did, and one by one they
surrendered until when within hundred
feet of the wire volante had disposed Of
all but one. Then with o magnificent
exhibition of horsemanship Murphy
fairly lifted his mount up TO even terms
and in the last bound landed Volanto
winner by a nose, or, as the sporting
fraternity term it, by an cyelash. Be-
fore the jockeys dismounted Baldwin
turned 10 member Of the party and
said: George, wish you would get

three inches lower than where the
jumper took off, although a measure

would not actually be cleared, for the
jumper had lcaped from a raised por-

made on the ground different from each

2 TO 10 years being usually chosen for tho
purpose. Tho girls are then sent TO q
regular harcm school. where thoy are
educated and taught various accom-

Sultan's harem arc taught music and
French; IL, however,, as they grow Older
they arc found TO be stupid or wanting

Girls from Persia and Afghanistan ore

latter country. Circassians generally
supply tho Turkish slave market, not
only with their own children, bat with
girls who have been stolen In their In
fancy from Russia and the Roumaniap
provinces OF Hungary. The gypsies, Il
rs stated, up to the present time ontice
young children away from their homes
and travel with them b the market OF
Top Home, where there is a constant do

Some few years ago these thefts be-
came SO common that tho Hungarian
government instituted an inquiry into
tho subject, and since then the TRADE haa

to certain extent. Ono % tho rules OF
