Lowered Their Record Again,

INDEPENDENCE, Ia, Oct. 27.-The
leading event to-day at the races here
was the performance of the pole team
Belle Hamlin and Justina. They we're
driven to-day by their old trainer, W. J.
Andrews, who handily took the laurels
from their owner, Hamlin. The team
we're started after one warming-up mile.
Down to the half mile they we're con-
fronted with a strong head wind that
perceptibly shortened their clip. The
first quarter was made in 331T5, to the
half they shortened the gait a quarter of
a second, making it in 1:064. On the
third quarter JUSTIN made a break and
lost half a second. Up the stretch they
came like the great thoroughbreds of
Ben Hur, and the earth trembled under
their ponderous tread. At the distance
flag Justina doubled her shoe and
broke again, but speedily squared her
self and stopped the watches at the wire
at 2:lS flat, beating their previous mark
by a quarter of a second.

Business Mems Writing Desks.

Every man knows how dear to h
heart is that pet abomination of women
the desk litter Every man protests if it
be disturbed. and declares with en-
phasis that he can always find what he
is looking for if his desk or table be let
alone, while the sight of it to women
creates an intense desire to clear it up.
The desks of some men are curiosities in
this regard and there is probably none
in town to compare with that of Francis
B. Thurber.
The double desk used by II. X. Thur
Der and his brother dates back nearly
fifty years. 1t stands on four turned
legs. has II sloping writing board and
two small cases Of pigeon holes, one at
each side. F. B. Thurber's share of it is
piled with papers clear across the por-
ton on which the owner is supposed to
write.
AS result that owner writes on pad
placed on his knees, and it is excessively
funny to see him rise slightly in his
chair in order that he may reach ovel
the barricade he has erected and dip his
pen into the ink. Mr.. Thurber must
have marvellous memory to be able tc
find anything in the pile before him.

Significance in Mourning COIors.

In some portions of the world yellow
and red are the mourning colors; the
Orientals generally adopt blue and white,
the Persians wearing deep indigo, and
the Chinese somewhat dingy, yellow
ish white. Pure white was at one time
worn by royal widows in France, but it
afterward fell into disuse. Purple is
the mourning color relegated to the
church. Just at what period black be-
came the fashionable insignia of woe it
is difficult to determine, but for several
centuries past it has been generally ac-
cepted as such by civilized nations all
over the globe.
Among Christians it would appear a
somewhat dubious tribute from the living
to the dead, as black is suggestive of chaos
and humiliation, while the white and
blue of pagan lands signify light, hope
and the promise of an existence beyond
