The racing Thursday afternoon at

piece OF the money. May Rose'' the.

work. Abraham L. proved trotter

last heat was good one with Little

that caused the greatest excitement.
The race was between wonder and

the third heat, when the horses started.
Everybody looked for great work and
there was Patten worked hard with
Wonder" but could not win, 'Rose
Bud" being too fast altogether. The

other three herses were tagged. The
fourth heat looked like a dead open

led by a big margin all around to the
three quarter pole, but there Patten
Tapped him, and finished him ahead.
1t was thought best to decide the
race this afternoon, but Fox said his
gelding was to start In the 90 class
to-day, and the horses were ordered
out again for the finishing heat. Pat

while Rose Bud" was right up to his

stallion won the fifth heat and race In

There YVES the biggest kind of ex-
element, and while it was seven
o'clock before the races were con-
cluded the crowd still remained. Both
horses had leglons of friends, and con-

result. The races to-day promise to be
fully as exciting as the 800, 2 80 and

His Christmas Sermon.

An English clergyman, author of
"Untrodden Spain" who must have
listened to II considerabl number of
Christmas sermons-his own and other
men's-declares that the best one he
ever heard was preached by woman
and in three words!
In my little parish, under the sweep
of the Sussex Downs, | was walking
swiftly home one night, buffeted about
by the gray clouds of driving rain that
the fierce sou wester swept landward
from the sea, when poor, helpless.
aged woman asked me for "trifie for
a nights lodging
Curates are supposed always to be
poor. 1t was Christmas time, and had
just parted with my last sixpence at a
lonely hamlet, where work was scarce
Still | could not leave my stranger in
the street, so | asked her TO come with
me TO my lodgings.
She shambled along through the
mud, with her streaming clothes and
clouted boots, and we entered my little
room. My thoughtful landlady had
made my table ready. A plate Of hot
toast was standing in the fender; the
kettle sang vociferously, as if impatient
TO be used; in front of the fire stood
my slippers, backed by an easy-chair.
To my surprise my poor, worn, hag-
gard companion raised her dripping
hands and burst into tears with the
words, ''Oh, what luxury"
That was the best Christmas sermon
ever heard, and the only one have
never forgotten.

many of the nations fairest sons were
laid beside him.
Penniless and alone, heartsicS and
weary, Horace now looked about him
to see where he could best turn his

and hardship had developed the merry
boy into a thoughtful man, who saw
above the din of battle and the

He had been educated for the ministry,

There he settled in a pretty little viii

he came in contact in his daily life.
Here, too, as years passed on, he met

was long, hot and dry. All vegetation
was parched and scorched as by a blast

Horace Hayward was the son of Il
wealthy planter, who. finding his
sunny south" too euerYating for his
feeble health, had removed TO the
north for time that he might be
nearer TO his only son, who was com
pleting his education at an eastern
college.
Among those who served the hand
northern home was man by the name
of Sterling, who was janitor and gen
eral factotum; he lived near by, and
his son, Freddy, was always ready to
perform any service for him of which
he was capable.
In his vacations "Mr. Horace" had
noticed the boy about the house, and
with his genial smile, kind words and
light-hearted banter, had won his ad-
miration and regard. Horace now
strode on with cheerful air, and
looked about as one who Is well con-
tent with his surroundings. He still
sang the sweet Christmas carol very
softly, and said TO himself as he sung
the last lines: Let the poor and needy
Christmas carols sing "Ah, yes!
how glad | would be to make il a
gladstone Christmas for all the poor
and needy and so fill their homes with
plenty and their hearts with JOY that
Christmas carols would gush from
their lips in grateful song. 1t hurts
one to see distress! Why must it be, in
this republican country, that things
are so unevenly divided ! wish we
had no very rich nor very poor, but
that all had moderate means, and
could live free, honest, pleasant lives,
with none of the grasping avarice of
the rich, nor the sorrow and misery
of the poor" And musing thus he
passed up broad flight of steps and
was greeted by glad voices and laugh
ing eyes, while he was drawn into the
CHEEKY parlor which was disclosed to
view by the opening door, And so the
Christmas day sped on; and with its
countless mates of years gone by
slipped on into oblivion.
"Mr Horace" returned to college
and took up the earnest students life
once more, the days passing quietly by
until that clarion trumpet call re-

Mister Horace laughed merrily and
