How an Old Phrase Originated.

The phrase That beats bobtail," is
not uncommon even now in many parts
of the country, especially in the south
Its origin is traceable to race which
occurred about 1910 or shortly before
that year on the famous Fairfield track
on the Mechanicsville turnpike, near
Richmond. In those days Bob Poin-
dexter lived in Richmond. He was a
sporting man, wore fine clothes and
owned mum Der of horses. Among his
animals was one he named Pizarro, a
plain bay gelding, with black name and
tail, the latter bobbed short.
There was nothing extraordinary about
the horse. and nobody looked upon him
as a racer But Poindexter took a no.
ton that he could run. He used to
drive Pizarro about Richmond hitched
to buggy. On the day that he was ad-
vertised to appear on the track great
crowd was present and excitement ran
high. for good deal Of money had been
put on the other horses. To the aston
ishment of everybody Pizarro beat every
horse on the track. and the people went
fairly wild.
Bobtailed Pizarro never made much
of a record He won two or three races,
and then went to pieces. For years
afterward, when anything extraordinary
happened in that section it was said of
it. That beats bobtail. - Baltimore

to him. Well said, little irritated,

TINS: is it beautiful for an aged and
very Young person to sleep together?
If moi. which suffers most, the aged or
The Young person?" We have often
answered these questions, says Good
Wealth. by saying no to the first ques-
ton. II is always unhealthy for two
nersons to sleep together in the same
he'd and under the same covers. The
air under the bed covers Immediately
surrounding the body of the sleeper is
exceedingly impure, becoming more
and more impregnated with poisonous
substances escaping through the eX-
cretory glands Of the skin from the
moment the person retires until he
arises. The odor of the bed clothing
after having been occupied for night,
Is often positively offensive to the
nostrils Of a person with an unimpaired
sense of smell-especially one who has
inst come in from outdoors, where the
fresh. pure air has been breathed. The
noisouous character of this under-the-

more likely TO affect the susceptible
constitution of child than that of an
adult. In elderly persons the amount
Of the impurities in the air surround
jn1 the sleeper must be greater than in
Younger persons; consequently, while
both persons would be more or less in
iured, the proportion of harm would
doubtless be greater to the young per-
son than to the person of more adj
yanced years, Mr.. Treves of the Lon
don hospital has called attention to the
fact that wounds, especially of the
lower limbs, heal much sooner when
exposed to the open air, instead of be-

marks that the air under the bed
clothing is foul and almost hot, and
hence likely to be very harmful to
wounds with which it may come in
