COWBOY RACE.
John Berry Arrives at Chicago First and
Wins the Thousand Mile Race.

John Berry Arrives at Chicago First and
Wins the Thousand Mile Race.
CHICAGO, June 2S.-The first of the
cowboy racers, John Berry, of Chadron,
Neb, riding the chestnut, Poison, COM
pleted the 1000 mile race and reached
the worlds fair entrance at $3.50 o'clock
yesterday morning and tainted just
as he had completed his long
ride. He left Freeport, Ill, at
$50 o'clock last Monday night and
made the last $50 miles in just twenty
four hours. He reached the suburbs of
Chicago shortly after daylight far ahead
of his associates. Smith and Gillespie
left Freeport two hours behind him
and Albright reported AT DeKalb at 3
a. m.
Berry was covered with dust and with
the perspiration rolling down his
bronzed face and dropping on the neck
of the faded broncho that could not be
urged into trot. He was clad in a
grimy white shirt and pair of mud
covered yellowish jeans and wore a
worn out timber trimmed. boy hat.
He was barely able to half tumble
from his saddle in front of Col. Cody's
tent. Then he fell to the ground sc
weak and faint that he was unable &c
rise to his feet or grasp the proffered
hand of Col. Cody.
Emmett Albright came in second, ar
irving at 11:15. He made the last 14d
miles in twenty-four hours. His horse
was in fairly good condition.
The race was started at Chadron,
June Is, at $40 o'clock, thus making
the time of the race for the leaders a
few hours less than fourteen days. The
distance is computed to be 1913 miles.

Simeon Sulks by the peck. because OF
his total depravity. And yet the lad
never did anything worse than miss his
lessons, and to fail to satisfactorily ex-
plain why he missed them. He was
continually being piled with questions
that were too suddenly asked or were
too profound to penetrate to his slow
Intelligence.
Why he stayed in the school no one
imagined. lie did not appear like one
who had an inordinate thirst for lSnowl-
edge. No one in the world tried to in
tiuence him to study, nor gave him the
slightest encouragement to continue
his efforts in that direction. While he
was reciting, all other lessons were sus-
pended; the sch GLARS snickered or open
ly laughed at his blunders, and the
teacher scolded or punished without re-
straint.
The boy endured this treatment with
logged patience until the school year
was at its close. He had SO often been
told that he was everything wicked
that it would scarcely have been sur
prising if he had come to believe it, and
to live up to his reputation. But he
did not believe 1T. Deep beneath his
reticence was conviction that he de
served better treatment than he was re-
ceiving. He had learned to hate the
schoolmaster who punished him for his
ignorance. He had silently endured
great deal of suffering, but he was not
SO obtuse as he appeared. He had suf-
fered more from ridicule than from
Horace Carver's ferule; but the finish
ing trial of his patience came on the
third of July-the last day of school
before the summer vacation.
1t had been Mr.. Horace Carver's hab-
it to make little speech before he
closed the school for the summer, and
on this occasion he did not vary his
rule. He told the old story of the early
struggle in this country for independ-
ence. He told of all the taxes, battles
and humiliation to which the British
government had subjected the people
in this country. He fought the battles of
Lexington and Bunker Hill over again.
He told of the privation, the cruelty,
| the cold by which the American SOL
diers suffered to make the United States
| an Independent government. And then
he got down to that celebrated declara-
| ton of independence, which is the key
note of our great government, which de-
clares all men equal and which rings
| with self-respect, justice and independ-
ence from beginning TO end. Poor
downtrodden Simeon Sullxs listened and
began to think better of himself be-
cause he was an American and entitled
! to some rights!
| When Mr.. Horace Carver told of the
signing of the declaration of independ-
ence on that famous Fourth of July in
1776, he said that it was every body
duty to celebrate the anniversary of this
great event He meant to give the
girls and boys of his school treat on
the night of the Fourth. He had
bought lot of fireworks for his chill
dren, and they would be set off on
Playfair hill after eight O'Clock.
Every scholar in the school was invited
to be there to witness the display
every scholar with one exception.

annoying and disappointing scholar all

the year. He had failed to learn his
lessons, had been sullen under reproof,
had wasted the teachers time and dis
tracted his fellow-scholars. Conse-
quently he had recommended that the
trustees should not permit Simeon to
return to the school after the vacation,
and they had agreed to the expulsion.
Certainly they had learned from Mr..
Carver that the boy was not proper
companion for clever scholars or good
children. And in addition to the dis
grace that he had brought upon Sim
con Sulks Mr.. Carver had another pun
ishment for him. The teacher said that
the boy would not be allowed to come
to Playfair hill on the night of the
Fourth. The fireworks were not for
him. In spite of all the fine speech
about equal rights he was to share none
of the pleasure that would be given his
mates. For the first time he openly
resented the treatment he was receiv-
ing. He stood up, his face flaming with
anger and shame, and walked out of
the schoolroom.
On the night of the Fourth all the
children in Ammoniaville, save one,
went up to Playfair hill. There was
a deal of enthusiasm. The fireworks
were hurried, for breeze had risen
which portended shower, and the per-
Torrance must needs be over before
the rain began. While the crowd was
on the hill Simeon Sulks came out of
the inn and went slowly down the
road. Under one arm he carried
IS
His face was very white, and he was
as profoundly agitated as his nature
permitted. His blood ran sluggishly,
but deep down in his inner conscious
ness had slumbered spirit of revenge,
and tonight, for the first time in his
life, it controlled him. He had reached
a crisis in his history.
lie had determined to burn down the
schoolhouse! As he walked along bent
on this evil mission, he recalled all the
hardships he had experienced within its
walls. What had he done in the year he
had attended that school to warrant the
treatment he had received? He had
tried to learn, and If learning had come
harder to him than to the others that
was his misfortune, not his fault
And the crowning acts of cruelty had
been to prohibit him from seeing the
fireworks and to expel him from the
school. What harm would he have done
if he had been allowed to go to Playfair
hill? If this was free and indepenS
dent country then he would like to know
why he was not allowed to see the cele-
bration of its independence with the
others? And he wasn't to be allowed
to go to school again! Well, it would
be good while before there was any
school to go to, for he was going to
burn the old schoolhonse down. The
people in Ammoniaville were very slow
about spending money. 1t might be
many a long day before they would build
another schoolhouse, and in the mean
time Horace Carver would go without
his salary. Simeon was revengeful
enough to rejoice at that prospect
No doubt there would be a pretty
blaze on Playfair hill. but there would
be bigger one ON Schoolhouse com

see the latter blaze without any invita-
ton, EvsEybody would be tying 70

He went back and again climbed
through the open window, but before
he reached the fuse the oil ignited.
There was an appalling glare of fire
running across the floor. Then it ap-
peared to encircle him. He was wild
with fear and remorse, but he remem-
bered the water pail and struggled
across the room to get it. He caught it
up and threw its contents upon the
flames; but he did not refill it. He was
overpowered by a cloud of smoke
which filed his lungs, and he fell upon
the burning floor.
A day or two later he was vaguely
conscious of being better cared for
than he had ever been before. He was
in a real bed with clean clothing on
him. Gradually it came to him that he
was in DIR. Maybury's house. He was
profoundly thankful to know that it
had not been burned. Later he knew
that the doctor had seen the blaze in
the schoolhouse and had rescued him.
The fire had been easily eXtinguished.
The schoolhouSe had a new floor, and
this green wood had been scorched but
had not ignited. The doctor had
dragged the boy out and had cared for
him.
He did more than that; he induced
the boy to talk. Gradually the doctor
learned that Simeon had wanted to be
schooled, had stubbornly borne all the
hard knocks he had received in school
because he was determined to learn,
and had finally been expelled after all.
Before Simeon Sulks was well the doc
tor knew more of his character than
anyone else had ever imagined. The
boy had lost his obtuseness. 1t was as
tonishing how his understanding and
his better nature developed.
He was never prosecuted for his at
tempt at incendiarism. There was no
Jail in ANN oniaville, and no one cared
to take the trouble to drag him to the
county seat when he had succeeded in
damaging nothing but himself.
LET us keep the little chap with us,
DIR. Maybury said to his wife. Cruelty
was rapidly making criminal of him
but kindness is making q gentleman
him quite as fast"
st was his gratitude to you that
made him risk his life to save this house
from burning" said Mrs. Maybury.
HE is not brilliant lad. but his devo-
ton will make him faithful to you
while he lives. The Fourth of July

lection and the liberty to which he is

put out the fire. Well, they would not
be able to put it out The school
house was an old rat trap of building
that would burn like finder, and there
wasn't a big hose or a fire engine in the
town.
Look out, lad!' somebody shouted to
him.
He was interrupted in his incendiary
reflections by DIR. Walter Maybury, who
had drawn his horse up sharply.
Something in Simeon's face as he
shranl< to one side of the road excited
the doctors pity. He recognized him as
boy he had seen about the livery
stables.
"Why don't you go to Playfair hill?"
the doctor asked. kindly. There ara
great doings up there"
81 wasn't asked" said Simeon, short
ly.
Good gracious, but he's particular"
the doctor said to himself He was a
young man and a merry one. ''He
doesn't look like young Ward Nc
Allister. although he seems to be
squeamish about ceremonies" The
doctor did not drive on Immediately.
He spoke again to Simeon:
eff you go you will see the fire
works and will hear Mr.. Carver make a
speech"
II don't want to hear him." the boy
said, indignantly; i've heard him
;awing long enough"
"Poor little chap!'' the doctor said.
You seem to be down on your luck.
We'll, here is coin. Perhaps you can
get some pleasure out of that"
And when he had dropped the money
in the boys hand the doctor drove away.
There was great lump in Simeon's
throat. This was one of the rare occa-
sions when he came near crying. He
was already thinking better of his de-
termination to burn the schoolhouse
when he happened to turn his head and
saw one of Mr.. Carver's skyrockets. A
! red flag would have been quite as pleas
| ing to mad bull. He shut his teeth
very hard and hurried on to the school
house.
The bottle he Carried contained kero-
sene oil, and in addition to this he had
| brought with him some matches and a
slow fuse. The latter he had picked up
| in the street that day after some boy
| had burnt all his firecrackers and had
no further use for it. Simeon opened a
window of the schoolhouse and crawled
in. He poured the oil on the floor and
| lighted the fuse. Then he ran away.
The wind was blowing from the
southwest. 1t blew over Schoolhouse
common into DIR. Maybury's windows
less than hundred feet away. The
guilty boy had hidden under a hedge
and was waiting for developments.
The breeze had freshened when a
curious instinct made him creep out OF
his retreat and try to discover which
way it was blowing. He trembled from
head to foot, and his teeth began
chattering in his head. 1t had dawned
upon his sleepy perception that if the
schoolhouse burned DIR. Maybury'e
house would also be destroyed. He
was unwilling that this should occur.
DR.. Maybury was the only man who
had ever spoken kindly to him, and the
boy would not injure him. He must 60
back and stop that fire.
