YOUR HORSES COLOR.
Long Existing Belief that IL Has Much To
do with His Speed.

Among the cherished superstitions Of
sportsmen Is the belief that the color OF
horses has much to do with their chances
OF victory In races and exhibitions OF
power. Whence came the superstition
1t Is difficult to say. IL has existed, ac-
cording to the New York Tribune, for
centuries, not only among Europeans,
but among Arabs, those "kings OF the
DESERT" whose knowledge OF the horse
is proverbial.
In an ancient Arabian manuscript, ac-
cording to L'Echo de Paris, recently
discovered, is a passage proving that
the belief In the relations between
horses color, power and speed has long
existed in Arabia.
A great shelk OF the Sahara, so runs
the tale, Zen Dyab by name, was one
day pursued by Saadel Zenatis his most
deadly enemy In tho fight Ben Dyab
turned suddenly to h son:
"Tell me-" he commanded, what
horses are at the head of our enemies!"
"The VIII tes. father" replied the son.
"That Is WE'LL" came Ben Dyab's an
swer ave shall now allow the sun to
do its work. The power Of the white
horses will disappear before its rays as
butter melts when they fall upon it,"
After time the sheik spoke again
"My son, what horses are now nearest
our heels?"
"The blacks, father" came the boys
answer.
Excellent" cried the o'd man. "The
stony ground will overcome the powers
of the black animals Even the negro
Of the Soudan becomes tired at the
ankles when he walks over stony
ground"
On went the flight. A third time Ben
Dyab turned to his companion.
(Which ones are now ahead?"
"The browns and the chestnut browns,
father" came the boys answer
"Then," cried the sheik, "We must
fly faster, or we are lost There is no
time to lose. These horses can over
take us.

ridge, General Custer and his men
ascended the crest OF the knoll to
which they were driven and there
made his last stand. Keogh, seeing
his men exposed to the fearful rain OF
bullets, gave the order to the men to
kill the horses and take refuge behind
their bodies. The order was obeyed.
He still rode Comanche-and here
there is variance as TO the manner
in which the escape of the animal oc-
Cured. Some Indians say he broke
away and ran, but the more popular
version is that his master being una
bic to consider the thought Of taking
the life OF the beast who had served
him SO well, dsmounted and giving
the animal a singing blow with his
sword, drove him away and turned
his unprotected front to the foe.

terested in it and he worried very
much over it. His friends, however,
had never thought Of insanity in con-
nection with him, but are now posi-
tive in their belief that he was in
sane. They declare that h. was an
honest, upright young man and that
his awful crime was his only offense.
Now that the Identification of the
bomb-thrower as NOrcross is COM
plete, people who knew him are call
ing to mind acts and words of his

point to the theory that the man has

Tbs recent Landslide which occurred
In Eagle Gorge, near Canton, Wash,
was the most serious of the many
that have taken place upon the Cas-

hotel capacity for 10000 people.
What other city in the United States
can make better showing in the
hotel line, except possibly Chicago
and New York? The fact that st.
Paul is ten miles from Minneapolis,
union depot to union depot, cuts no
figure. That distance is rendered in
significant when compared to the
magnificent distances in Chicago and
New York City. Men think nothing
of riding twenty miles on the elevated
roads Of New York, and ten to fifteen
miles on the cable and steam lines Of
Chicago.
There are seventy trains Of steam
cars running between Minneapolis
and st. Paul daily, and more than
fifty trains over the electric lines
during the same time. The time Of
the steam trains is only twenty min
utcs. and of the electric only thirty
minutes. This is short time COM
pared with other cities within their
own limits. Besides these lines be-

200 miles Of electric and cable lines

If we have any virtue In us, did 1t
spring up in an hour or day? If we
have any wisdom, did we pick it up in a
lump at some particular turn Of our ex-
perience? No; these signs and fruits Of
inward life are the outcome of long,
slow working causes, running back
through all our years; including all that
we dreaded and bewaied, as well as all
that we welcomed and enjoyed; includ-

our struggling ancestors, and the long

THE BLOOD.

"The blood thereof is the life there
Of" says the Scriptures. The effort
Of all remedies that aim to heal dis
eases that attack the respiratory or
gans is to put the blood in proper
condition. The lungs remove the
carbolic acid; the kidneys remove the
uric acid. These two organs purify
the blood. When you take cold both
these organs are affected, the kidneys
no less than the lungs. You cannot
have cold on your lungs without its
affecting the kidneys also. Now, if
you will take REDS GERMAN Cough
AND KIDNEY CURE, you will have a
remedy that ministers at once to these
two organs, restores them both to ac-
tivity, and allays the inflammation.
1t is the only cough remedy on the
market that does this. 1t is on this
account the best 1t is particularly
good for children, because it contains
no opiates, and there is no danger from
an overdose. Get it of your dealer.

What is wanted is the Gospel up to
date People speak of "the good old
Gospel" There is no such thing. The
very word Gospel means news-good
news. As it came from its author ii
was the newest of things-so utterly
novel that it fatally offended tradition
and brought Jesus to the cross. And
ever since its truest opponents have had
to contend with opponents whose
stereotyped objection has been that
which was urged against apostles;
These that have turned the world up
side down are come hither also"
- The world needs to be turned upside
down in order to be turned right side
up. Hence In every age the Gospel
proclaims revolution. 1t seeks to trans
form selfishness into generosity, wick.
edness into Righteousness, earth
into Heaven. IT'S practical force for
the accomplishment of these results
Naturally, those who are interested in
the present order object to this, and cry
peace" when there is no peace. They
ask for ''tEe good old Gospel" and i'm.
agine that this was moonshine instead
of sunshine, conformity rather than
non-conformity to the world, the flesh
and the devil There never was any
such Gospel, and never can be. -
I'm order to preach the Gospel Chris
tians must apply its ethics to current
affairs and exemplify its spirit in daily
life. This would make every thought
prayer, and every word psalm, and
every deed a Divine revelation of service
and devotion.-St. Louis Republic.
