A Fine Racing sosson Duo to Thos. Il
Williams.

A Fine Racing sosson Duo to Thos. n.
There will be many eastern horses at
the Bay District course in San Fran
cisco. Over 200 horses are already
there, and enough are en- route to bring
the number up to very fine showing.
There will be at least four race days
each week during all the fall and winter,
and the very elite of eastern and the
middle states horaemen are here or COM
ing. This condition OF things is
largely, in fact. almost entire
ly, due to Thomas III. Williams,
IT,, son OF the late General
Williams. He is young man scarcely
35 years OF age and but few years on
the turf, but he has had the pick of the
Palo Alto stables, of which he had the
racing qualities of such as he choose to
select. With almost unexampled sagac-
ity and strictly honorable running OF his
horses, he has made name that will go
down to fame with General Jackson,
Henry Clay and Peyton.
Many old Los Angelefios were person
ally acquainted with General Williams
and feel proud of young Williams and
will do all possible to make the meeting
q credit to the state.

PLAYS For Young Girls.

Many wise mothers think that the
theater should be reserved for adult life.
They regard it as a stimulant and to be
unnecessary for the growing mind. It
may be compared to those drugs which
relieve headache by affecting the heart.
Still the mother who would make of
her girl "a woman holy and wise" will
not exclude tho theater. But outside Of
some special representations of Shake
speare she will select only simple plays,
such as RIP Van Winkle," Sweet Law
ender," wholesome comedy where the
deep passions of life are not exhibited,
where the sinful follies of youth are not
presented for sympathy and for commits
Grafton.
There is one other class of plays which
she may some time allow for the same
reason that she cheerfully provides ro-
nance in books, and that is the real, old
fashioned melodrama i'll which the hero
is triumphant, the villain is brought to
justice and all comes out right in the
end. Such treat is like the ''frolics'
at surprise parties and straw rides, which
were enjoyable because of their rarity

Mourning PAPER,

Mourning paper isa satire in itself. 1t
wears the deepest possible black margin
for the first six months, say Then 1t
grows little narrower. Is that sign
that you are not mourning so much as
you were during the first half year?
Next year it is narrower still. The grief
is greatly mitigated. The third year 1t
is a mere streak. Your sorrow does not
amount to much now! The next year
the black border has entirely disap-
peared. Does that mean that you have
forgotten your bereavement? That would
be the logical Interpretation, and yet In
the case OF how many whose stationery
has gone through this diminishing per-
spective to the vanishing point the sor-
row has been even more bitter after
years perhaps than it was at frst.-Bos-

SON of an Insane Suicfde,


son of an Insane Suicide.
Hereis a story of the supernatural. Tt
happened more than 100 years agoSso
that you may'hope that it is nottrue.
Yet in thoseadays the invention of news
was not-yet known, and, the paperwhich
contains this story wasja sober and hon
est journal. One of the patients In q
madhouse-a parish madhouse, I think
that of unceston-escaped. Thatwas
no new thing. They all wanted to es-
cape. AS the woman, although very
mad indeed, was quite harmless, they
went about their search in q leisurely
fashion. At last they found her drowned
in a shallow ditch and carried her back
to the madhouse.
On preparing the unhappy woman for
the grave they found in her corset-then
called her stays-something that rustled.
They cut the thing open and discovered
small parcel rolled up tight in some
waterproof stuff-whateve was then in
vented. The parcel was document
written ON parchment. 1t was written
very small and misspelled, but this was
how it ran:
'"The man came along after dark. He
stopped at our door and said he was
stranger, and would my aunt take him
in for the night? He seemed a sailor
and said he was respectable and showed
money. Elizabeth said aunt, 'he can
have your room, and you shall sleep with
me- There were two bedrooms in the
cottage, up a ladder, both garrets. Dur
ing the evening he sent me out for
drink, and he had lot and was drunk,
but he got up the ladder safe and so to
bed. In the night I heard aunt get out
of bed. There was a moon shining in
the skylight window.
"She took something and went into
the mans room. Then | was frightened
and sat up in bed. and heard a sound
as of blow and nothing more. Present
ly aunt came back, and in the moonlight
she saw me sitting up in bed. Get up,
she said; go down stairs and get, if yoU
can, light So 1 did and brought tn,
rushlight up the ladder. Aunt had thu

that you will never tell any one wha

and wished might go suddenly mad /

lodger. His pockets were full Of guineas
and I'm a made woman. But you mus
help me-.
80 she made me help to drag the bod
down into the room below and out in tn
garden, where we dug hole under tn
cabbages and laid it as deep as we could
} Then we covered all up and went bac
to the house and waited till daybreal
As soon as it was light we washed up th
place, and nobody ever found out. On
night, when / was a woman grown, til

, Tell the story and l said, 1 cannot, b,

have sworn to go mad. If you do No
