valuable paper the Minnesota Horse
man. Mr.. Walker is to be congratu
lated in the possession of SO fine
horse. DR.. J. G. Curryer, the editor,
says: Il write this without charge.
1t is simply just tribute to great
horse. 1t was our opportunity as
well as pleasure, through the kindness
of friend to visit Mr.. W. X. Walk
er's Frog Lake Farm short time ago,
the present home of Royal Hal, son
of the famous Tom Hal No. of the
pacing standard. Royal Hal has
many characteristics of his renowned
sire; he is horse of great quality
the essential element that gives char
acter, game and staying power-his
style is equal to the best and his con-
formation is of the genuine race-horse
character. His breeding is good
enough to please a Tennessean and
there is the true home of the PAGER.
Had Royal Hal not been unfortunate
when young colt in meeting with a"
accident and injured ono
we feel confident II
mado- norset o.
victory and fame. He certainly h.
the backing and individuality natur-
ally, to make an impression with the
mares bred to him that will be of last
ing benefit to the future generations
of our horses. Why, his sire is one of
all others to produce three of the fast
est and gamest race-horses of the
speeding world, and there is no reason
why Royal Hal should not be pro-
ducer of more than ordinary ability.
He is as stylish as anybody's horse,
yet as kind as could be desired for so
spirited and game an individual.
Oh, it makes a man feel proud to look
upon so grand horse, and at the
same time feel sorry that he should
be deprived of the opportunity of
showing the world by flights of speed
what grand possibilities were before
him in that line had it not been for
that accident. He has now to show
which we fully believe he will
through his produce the mighty horse
he is"
Our attention has just been called
to an article printed some weeks ago
in an obscure country paper, referring
to the winning of a local race by a
work horse, called Honest John"
Among other senseless things, the ed
itor says: "Pedigrees are becoming
like college degrees, not worth the pa
per upon which they are written"
Such a statement shows the writer's
acquaintance with equines has been in
his sleep-night-mares; at the table
horse-radish; the only horse he ever
straddled-a saw-horse; his ideal an
imal-an antique wood cut standing
all black and grimmy on shelf in
his sanctum, pictrlring that wearer of
long hair with big ears thrown for
ward, mouth wide open, belching forth
his owners motto, '1 am an ass"
Now to the farm horse, "Honest
john" By enquiry we are informed
that his dam was better than the av-
erage roadster. She was called by her
owner "a Hambletonian mare" She
was bred in Illinois and dropped her

DIFFERENCE IN GOLD.

Experts Can Tell Where Piece Comes
 From by the CoIoe.
 ssMost people suppose says nn as- saver in the New York Tribune, s1that all gold is alike when refined, but this is not the case. An experienced man can tell at 8 glance from what part of the world gold piece comes and in some cases from what part of a par ticular gold district the metal was ob- tained. The Australian gold. for in- stance, is distinctly redder than the Californian, and this difference in color is always peroeptible, even when the gold is one thousand fine. Again, the gold obtained from the plabers is yell lower than that which is taken directly from quartz. Why this should be the case is one of the mysteries of metal nrgy, for the placer gold all comes from the veins. The Ural gold Is the reddest' found anywhere Few people know the real color of gold, as it is sell dom seen unless heavily alloyed, which renders it redder than when pure. The purest coins ever made were the fifty dollar gold pieces that used to be com mon in California. Their coinage was abandoned for two reasons-hrst, be- cause the loss by abrasion was so great, and, secondly, because the interior would be bored out and lead substi- t1ited, the difference in weight being too small to be readily noticed in so large piece These octagona1 coins were the most valuable ever struck

Drug Store Bores.

] Retail druggists have two classes of
 patrons whose patronage does not help swell the profits of the business. And yet, says the New York Times, these tpatrons are very numerous. They ara the people who ask: 'sMay look at
 your city directoryp" and s.Win you please sell me a postage stamp?" Au drug store proprietors are slaves to the custom of keeping city directory for public use, and but few of them can give any good reason why they should
 do so any more than retail grocers oi the keepers of cigar shops. But the re- lentless slot machine has interposed be.
 tween the apothecary's prohtless good mature and the postage stamp and city directory patrons. An automatic clnSp is now attached to the city directory with this businessike inscription across its face: 'Drop one cent in the slot and 1 it will open." and in many drug stores
 may be found neat little case in!
 scribed: 'sDrop in nickel for two two
 cent postage stamps"

How to Remove Ink Stains.

Lemon juice readily removes ink from the hands. Diluted spirits of niter, ap- piled with a feather, takes ink spots from mahogany, which should be rubbed over immediately with 8 rag dipped in cold water, or 9 white mark will be left. Ink spots in linen fabrics should be wet with milk and covered with common salt before the articles are washed. An other way to take out ink is to dip the article in melted tallow. Ink stains may also be removed from white fabrics by 8 little salt of lemons, diluted muri- atic acids, oxalic acid or tartaric acid and hot water. All strong acids, how ever, -injure the fabric, and the spots should be well rinsed in cold water after they are used.

How to Reliere Rheumatic Pains

Lime or lemon juice, used in liberal quantities, frequently relieves the par oxysms of rheumatism. One noted phy- sician claims that by the persistent use of this simple acid for three days Gall stimulating liquids being avoided) the most confirmed rheumatism will relax and the tone of the muscular and nerv- ous system be restored to it's usual char acter. Another simple remedy is to bathe the parts affected with water, in which potatoes have been boiled, as hot as can be borne previous to retiring Obstinate cases have yielded to this sim pie treatment.

How to Play Baccarat.

The dealer and each side of the table have two or three cards. The object is to get as near nine as possible, and tens and court cards do not count. If the two first cards dealt do not together amount to five the player asks for an- other. If above five he does not. The sole question in doubt is whether a play CT whose two cards together make five ought to draw third card or not. Be cause of this doubt French courts have ruled that baccarat is not 8 game of chance.

Cape Cod Dlsappearine.

It is said to be beyond doubt that Cape Cod is being gradually eaten away
 by the hungry ocean. Not century ago the government placed lighthouse on the headland of the cape. The deed to the property calls for ten acres of land, but at the present time the inclosure
 measures scant six acres. On point just north of the marine stations at Highland light the face of the bluff has moved in nearly two hundred and fifty feet in the last seven years. At this rate it is only 8 question of time when
 Cape Cod will be thing of the past.

QUEER END OF A LAWSUIT.
A Judge Who Was Equal to All Elmer
 genciess

A Judge Who Was Equal to All Elmer
 gencies.
 There is an impression that judg- ments akin to those of Solomon are only given in the east, but it is evident that judicial eleyerness like that Of the king of Israel is also to be found down east. The Lewiston Journal tells of two Maine farmers who bought an old-fashioned pair of steelyards. Each paid a part of the cost, and used them whenever he wished to weigh his produce for market.
 After time a dispute arose, and each claimed the ownership of the steel wards. The matter was carried into court, and the jury disagreed Then the case, on some technicahty, was sent to the law court, and was again sent back for trial. The costs, up to this point, had reached about five hundred dollars, about a hundred times the price of the steelyards themselves.
 When the case came up again, Chief Justice Peters was the presiding justice He told the counsel that if the case were carried further, the costs would be increased to such an extent that one or the other of the parties would lose ms Tarn ID OrQer to pay. He dusAScu them to enter it neither party,a and divide the costs. After 8 consultation tthe parties owned themselves willing Ito do that, and it looked as though the lease would be settled. Suddenly, how ever, one of the contestants rose, went over to his counsel in the courtroom, and asked:
 "But who is going to get the steel wards? He shan't have them.'' The other contestant made the same declaration.
 Then the counsel rose, and said that the case was just where it stood before iany talk of settlement had been made. They were willing to stop litigation and divide the costs, but what could be done with the stee1yards?
 i sePn fix that" said Judge Peters. Isshet the sheriff of the county take the lgtee1yards at night and go down and throw them in the middle of the river, letting nobody know the exact spot, so that they can never be recovered" {" 1 The contestants agreed to this propo- sition, each paid his proportionate share of the costs, and the case was dropped

SECURING SILENCE.
How a Nervous Lawyer Quieted Noisy
 CorDet Player.

How a Nervous Lawyer Quieted Noisy
 CorDet Player.
 John Leech, whose humorous pictures made Punch, was driven out of London by the hand organs and street bands. Their noise affected his nelves and pre- vented him from drawing, and though he tried again and again, he was unable to silence them. MT. Montague Will Hams tells, in his "Later Leaves" of a lawyer who did silence cornet player who spent most of the day in playing his instrument.
 The lawyer, poor, old and eccentric, lived in two attic rooms beneath which resided the cornet player. Annoyed at the mans persistent playing, the law yer demonstrated repeatedly, but in vain. One afternoon, the man in an- swer to the lawyers protest remarked that an Englishman's house was his castle, and that he should play when and as long as he pleased.
 That night, just as the musician had fallen to sleep, he was, awakened by an unearthly din. A terrible pounding was going on in the room overhead He flung blanket about his shivering body, and ran upstairs. There was 8 ngnt m the lawyers room, the door stood open, and in he rushed.
 What he saw took away his breath. The old lawyer was sitting on the floor singing 1ugubrious ditty, and driving large nails into the boards with mas on's hammer. The cornet player en- treated him to desist. The answer was another nail driven into the floor, another and yet another. Then the lawyer paused and said:
 You make my life a misery to me all day long, and now that the night has come it's my turn"
 Down again came the heavy hammer, and another nail was driven home.
 The cornet player, seeing that the lawyer was master of the situation, agreed not to play during the day if the lawyer was at home. The truce was made, and silence reigned.
