srcHlSON PHILOSOPHY.

The devil grins when he hears Of man
of forty trying to reform.
The real dangerous things are usually
regarded as perfectly safe
A true friend is always doubtful Of his
attractivencss to his friends
Irony has saved many men from egotisIn,
and many women from vanity.
Justice carries n two edged sword, but
mercy purposely goes unarined
In most cases where people are wrongetl
there is contributory negligence.
If you would be popular with all men,
reprove the wise and flatter the foolish
II you had been deceived as often ~ the
world you wouid be just rs increduIous.
You hear very little about idealisrn from
the man who has tried TO be his own ideal
The hardest work n man does is the work
he does not do because he breads TO begin
it.
Man, like every story, has two sides--one
he shows the world and the ct her the world
finds out for itself.
About the first thing the small boy he
gins to count when he has learned his mum
beers is the warts on bis hands. -Atchisop

Differences IN the Trotting Families

There is wonderful difference in fami-
lies regarding the development of speed
The Volunteers, for example, were not
young trotters; they took time to develop,
and neither we're they uniform trot.ers, like
the Electioneers; but that they were race
horses of the first water is univ ersally adj
mitted. The family of Volunteer is the
only family in trot,ing history of which it
had never been said that any of them were
"quitters." Inde ed, the Volunteers would
never have been great but for the
hard, intelligent and persistent work
of Alden Goldsmith snl his son.
Mr.. Rysdyk lost no opportunity
to cast opprobiium upon Volunteer. His
dam, he declared, was mongrel and he
could be nothing. But the Gcldsmiths
trained and worked with the sons and
daughters of Volunteer with perseverance
and faith. And when Huntress, the great
three-miler, Driver and Gloster, the incom-
parable trotting race horses, and St Julien,
the record breaker, came out, there were
| none to say that Volunteer was a mopgrel
Itis comparatively easy to make good
family of horses popular when no obstacles
are thrown under the wheel.
Years ago when Alden Goldsmith AMI
Edsin Thorne, two men who lent dignity
to the tro;ting turf, AMI who are both sleep
ing under the Orange county sod, bought a
colt by Rysdyk's Hambletonan out of Lady
Patriot, daughter of Young Patriot, son of
Thoroughbred Patriot they called him Ham
bletonian, Jr. One day the two fine old
Orange county horsemen drove up to Will
liam M. Rysdyks gate at Chester to visit
the great father of trotters. When they
drove away their conversation was
earnest. Mr. Rysiyk resented the
naming of the Lady Patriot colt BY
Hambletonian, Jr. Being jealous of
the name "Hambletonisn, the idea of
calling Lady Patriots colt as he was called
led the curious old man to rage, and not
long after the visitors bad left Thorne asked
Goldsmith. "Whst shall we call hm?" The
rebellion was just then developing from a
mere insurrection into civil war and the
patriotic spirit was then rife. Said Gold
smith "Let US call him Volunteer And
so the great Volunteer was named.

many expressed their belief that the foun-

however, that thst theory was entirely 10
correct. The Foundation was found TO be
