A blooded racer possesses one essential
quality that scrub horses seldom have
pluck. You will find many common
horses that possess fine points, so far as
wind, muscle and structure are concerned
but in race they will nearly always
throw up their tails and give up in disgust
if passed by an adversary, or if they feel
like they can't win. Flora Temple, the
queen OF trotters in her day, was an ex-
ception to this rule. She never knew
what it was 10 be beaten, and always put
forth her utmost efforts until the driver
commanded her to slacken her speed. A
race horse is like Il gamecock in that he
must have nerve to supplement his nat
ural powers. There are blooded animals
that will go their level best until they
drop. 1t is useless to use a whip on that
kind of an ANIMAL they are born fighters,
and exult as much in a victory as their
owners. Such racers also have superior
intelligence, and if they are not too high
strung they can be trained in the arts and
tricks of the turf. All blooded animals
do not possess pluck, however, and such
as are lacking in this quality are more lit
for the plow than the track. Jockey

once had an intelligent Young man
in my employ who deemed it sufi-
cient excuse for neglecting any impor-
tant task to say, Il forgot it, l told
him that would not answer. If he was
sufficiently interested he would BE care
full to remember. It was because he did
not care enough that he forgot it,
drilled him with this truth. He worked
for me three years, and during the last
of the three he was utterly changed il
this respect. He did not forget a thing
His forgetting he found was a lazy, care

"The special providence that seems to
hover over drunken men and children has
something of an explanation, - said well
known and eminent medical man to a re-
porter, in the fact of the main cause of
the breakage of bones from falls being
from a resistance of the tendons more
often than from the violence of the shock
incident to the actual fall. A child or an
intoxicated person will rarely endeavor
with any great effort to recover their ball
ance when they slip or topple over. Hence
no special resisting force is exercised, and
they sink into a collapsed heap without
serious injury. When an adult in posses
sion of his sound senses undertakes, with
endless contortions and gyrations, to save
himself from going down, he draws every
muscle aud sinew taut, and if the wrench
is too severe the bone breaks. There is
no way of definitely proving it, but it is
asserted, and l believe with some show of
truth, that some, at least, of the fractures
resulting from falls, especially from a
height, happen before the actual shock
with the substance one falls on occurs.
It's strange, but guess it is the truth. =

sAagFooTeo AFTER TIE cows.


THE boys had come back to the farm,
Which all through one lifs bears charm;
And though we were all sturdy men,
We thought 10 live over again
The days when we hallooed and booted
And ran down the pasture barefooted:
We stole out Of childhood day,
And filed it up hsimful Of play
The pond and the swift skimmng swallow:
The wool where the owl used to hailoo--
Who-oo! who-ooi
The barn full IF nay
Where many day
We tumbled down over the mows:
The grass in the meadow was growing,
The COWS ia the meadow we're lowing
Mo-oo! mo-ool
All, life has no joy
Like that of boy
Running barefooted after the cowsi
We ate OF the spples that fell
From the harvest tree over the well;
For never in life could we meet
With apples that seemed half so sweet:
Nor water had we ever tasted
Like that which the spring ever wasted;
For God made the vintage 10 flow
From the winepress of pebbles below
The squirrel SO proud of his tail.
The chipmunll who travels by RAIL-
The biackbir1, the robin, the jay
Each gave us 4 greeting that day.
The pastines OF boyhood We courted
In places where once we had sported,
And when the old dinner horn blew
We felt the old hunger anew.
Twas more like enactlng a dream
We waded and fished in the stream,
Which somehow looked shallow and small,
Nor did the old trees seem as tall;
Each idol Of boyhood seemed shattered,
And even the kingfisher cattered.
No power can bring back the joys
OF childhood to overgrown boys.
Not the same was the pond nor the swallow,
The wood where the owl used to halloo
Who-oo whc-coi
The barn full OF hay
Seemed smaller that day
We tumhled down over the mows,
New grass in the meadow was growing.
Strange COWS in the meadow were lowing
Mo-ooi mo.ool
We felt not the joys,
We were not the boys
Who ran barefooted after the COWS.

Americans commonly have a mistaken
idea as to English business methods. The
typical American, alert, enterprising, full
of snap and so is apt to try all things by
his own standard; and that test leads him
to consider the average Englishman slow,
unprogressive and sluggish, satisfied with
prevailing conditions, whatever they may
be, and not to be reused to any attempt
to change them-not, indeed, perceiylng
any reason for changing them. The diff
ference, however, is one of methods and
not of results. The conservatism of the
Englshman is not unprogressiveness, for
he aims at the same point that the Ameri-
can does, and, TO use slang expression,
che gets there just the samen-indeed, he
gets there in better form, for although
not so rapid, English methods are safer,
quite as sure, and their results more per-
manent than those developed under Amer

A suggestion has been made that oil
might with advantage be used at the
most exposed lighthouses to reduce the
force of the waves. 1t is thought that
this end might be attained by placing.
say, a couple of small steel buoys in the
most exposed direction at distance
from the lighthouse Of some $50 feet.
There should be a pulley on the buoy
and slight rope, so that the bag or ap-
pliance for distributing the oil could al
ways be hauled in when required. The
method is most simple, and can lie tested

the present assembly to redistrict

redistricting as they did 10 years
ago.
Again, if the present general as

\ JUDGE KILLED DY MS son.
Awful Tragedy in the Mountain Dis-
trictS Ot kentacilv.

Pineville, Ky, Feb. l2.-Judge
Lewis, of Harlan county, who wac
the leader of the Law and Order
club in the Howard Turner feud, has
been murdered by his own son. The
dcplorable affair occurred Tuesday
night. Sidney Lewis - the only son
Of Judge Lewis, AMI is about II
years of age. He is II fighter and
had the reputation OF being rs dan
gerous as cooked gun with dou-
BILE trigger. He had fought by the
side of his father all durin. the How
ard Turner and Howard-Lewis feuds,
aud was always on hand when the
old man needed men to go against
the notorious Wills Howard.
Recently however, owing to some
family fuss, Judge Lewis and his
son have not been the best of friends
and it is said that the old man final
ly began to fear his son, and had
him put under bond to keep the
peace. This increased the bad feel
ing, and the climax came Tuesday
when the father and son met at the
barn on the home place. They had
quarrel, but no one was near
enough to hear what passed between
them. The son was seen to draw
his revolver and empty it. Five bull
let's entered the old mans body, any
one of which would have caused his
death.
Judge Lewis was. perhaps. the
best known man in Harlan county.
1t was LIE who led the law and order
party against Wills Howard, Will
Jenning and their gang in the battle
of Poor Fork about a year ago. 1t
was through his effort that Jennings
was captured and Wills Howard driv-
en- from the country. The three fa-
nous leaders have now disappeared
from Harlan county and Wills How

trial for murder. Jennings has been
