A Fair Girls Failure.

She was young and fair, and had big
blue eyes, with dropping lashes that
gave them dreamy look, says the N
Y. Commercial AdUertiser. When she
stepped through the door of the car
every passenger looked at her and
was the better for the pleasant. sight.
In her hand she carried book, and
after she settled down in the only
vacant seat she opened the volume and
began to read.
The thoughts the book called. up
were shadowed in her face. It was
evidently work in which noble deeds
and gracious words were the features.
Another passenger soon entered the
car. and as the girl paused in her
reading to reflect her glance rested on
an old gentleman with white hair who
stood supporting himself by a strap.
He had hale, hearty look. however.
which belied his apparent years. The
girls face assumed an expression
which all the passengers Immediately
interpreted as meaning, Il will
emulate the noble women of whom we
read" She started to rise. then
hesitated. and then arose and touched
the old gentleman on the arm and
said something in low voice.
He stared at her and then shook his
head emphatically in negative
fashion.
She sank back into her seat and
looked disappointed. and the old gen.
tleman's face took on the rich hue of
the egg plant. He stamped. and it
was evident he was swearing softly
under his breath. And the passengers,
the mean thinUs. all lauohed.

Never Forgot His Teaching.

A young Atlanta lawyer has quite a
fine trotter. which he bought recently
from Kentucky drover. It happened
that the drover bought the horse from
a Cincinnati street-car company. He
had seen him trot in the car, and knew
him to be fast. The young Albanian
who purchased him first tried him out
at the Piedmont track, and found that
he could 60 inside of three minutes
There is another young man here
who has fast trotter, and naturally
each claimed his horse to be the fast
est. AS a consequence there was bet,
and the two young men went out to
Piedmont track one day last week to
have mile race for $50 side.
The Cincinnati morse was a sorrel,
the Georgia nag a bay. 1t happened
that one of the friends of the owner of
the bay knew of the past life of the
sorrel. and knowing him to be the
faster of the two decided to arrange a
scheme to protect his friend.
After two or three attempts the
racers were given the go. The sotrel
took the lead and kept it half way
round. Then the bay pulled up under
whip and both horses broke. The bay
lost by breaking. but the sorrel quickly
got down to action again. and came up
the home stretch fully three lengths in
the lead. They came within forty
yards of the string, and it seemed a
dead-open-and-shut thing for the sor-
rel, but suddenly a gong was heard to
tap loudly right on the side of the
track, and the sorrel stopped so sud-
denly that he almost threw his driver
from the sulky. The bay won the
race.
While the sorrel was fast he had not
forgotten his training as street-car
horse, and the scheme of the friend of
the bays owner worked admirably
