THEY ARE EASY HoAxED.

story of a Chicago Race Track Cred
tied by Our English Cousins.
1t seems to be an easy matter to hoax
our English cousins, for just now they
are accepting in good faith this yarn
about race alleged to have been run
at Chicago
There had been false start, owing
to a mistake made by the man with
the advance flag, and in spite of the
growlings of those who had backed a
black horse that was esteemed good
thing" and, unlike so many good things
of which we have had constant expert
ence, won in a canter by any number
of lengths, the horses returned to the
post. The starter, much put out, of
course, at the catastrophe, took his
place and prepared for business.
while he was standing there" the
story goes on to relate "a black boy,
who was so handicapped by lack of
height that it was impossible for him
to see the race, spied Il place of van
tage between the widespread legs of
the starter. He crept up and soon was
snugly fixed in his place. The starter
happened to glance down and saw the
1dCS pCSlAhS AhIO SpdSC
'Begone, you imp!' he cried, and at
the same time hit at the wooHy pate
with is flag stick. The advance flag
man was keen and watchful He did
not see the negro, but he was conscious
that the starters flag had dipped.
Down went his own again and once
more the field swept away. Once
more all was confusion and once again
the black horse walked home first.
Things were getting serious now.
Hands stealthily sought hip pockets,
and when they emerged they had well
loaded six shooters firmly grasped with
| in them. 1t did not make any differ
ence to the crowd whether the starters
flag had fallen or not; the black
horse had won the race twice, and If
there was to be any more running they
would attend to the starting them
selves In this emergency the starters
were sent to the paddock for a twenty
| minutes rest, and while they were
there the race was declared off"

FIRE In MINNEAPOLIS
THE FLOUR CITY AGAIN RECEIVES
A scORCHING.
The sheveIin-Carpenter Company's
Lumber Yards and q Large Amount
OF Railroad Property Are De-
stroyed-Loss 100000.


Minneapolis, July 31.-The third dis
astrous fire in the history of Minneapolis
broke out about $3.50 yesterday afternoon
in the lumber yards of the Shevlin-Car-
penter company on the bank of the Mis-
sissippi river at the foot Of Eighth ave-
nue. north. 1t spread with remarkable
rapidity, and before 1t was controlled de-
stroyed property valued at nearly $780,
600. Besides 20,0O0O00 feet of lumber,
the gas manufacturing plant of the Oma-
ha Hallway company, the round house,
tool house, sand house and turn tables
of that road, nearly forty freight cars,
some CT them loaded with merchandise,
and the Office building of the Sheylin-
Carpenter company we're burned. The
saw mill, the planning mill, drying kilns
and storehouse for moulding and prepared
wood, although in the very heart of the
fire district, were saved by the efforts OF
the frcmen, aided by the fortunate
change in the direction of the wind. Help
was summoned from st. Paul to stay
the ccnhagration and seven engines with
full crews were sent over from that city
The insurance will be about $3.50, 900.
After the Sheylin-C Carpenter fire was
brought under control six other fires
broke out in various parts of the city
but little damage was done. Some OF
the blazes were, it is believed, of incen
diary origin. Every member of the fire
department and every piece of apparatus
in the city was employed for eleven
hous continuously. The fire losses fol
the month of July aggregate 81 ,230, 200

Led Pencil Wood.

Most persons know that the wood Oh
the best lead pencil is from a form OF
the American red cedar. The best for
the purpose is said to belong to the
variety known as Juniperus Virginianh,
variety BePmudiana. This form Of red
cedar seems to have it's home on the
island of Bermuda, it being the only
tree found on the island. 1t is sup
posed originally to have been started
from seed of our common red cedar,
brought to the island by birds, or in
some other way. and that the contin-
ual force of circumstances, different
from those under which our red cedar
exists, has caused it to change in some
respects it's character. The same form
is. however, now found in the south,
possibly from seeds brought again from
Bermuda by birds, as in the first in
stance. 1t is said that Mr.. Faber,
whose name is insaparably connected
with the best class of lead pencils, has
growing on his estates at SchiosS Stein,
near NurembuFg, Germany, some
twelve or thirteen acres of this kind
of cedar, from which he expects in the
future to raise enough wood for his
pencils without importing it from the
new World.-Meehan's Monthly.

children who toddled beside the wag-

Fhe Repast Laid Out for a Hungry
Fishing Tourist in California.
Walter Mansfield, the board of trade
attorney, is am Ost enthusiastic sports
man, says the San Francisco Post.
When Mansfield goes out on one of his
trips he always locates a place where
he can get a good meal, and so times
his sport that he will reach it at the
dinner hour. A few days ago he went
up on the Big Sulphur Creek for Il day S
fishing, and, as he started out at day
break, he saw a little wayside shanty
in front Of which stood a horse trough
and a sign: Hot meals at all Hours.
The trough did double service as a
drinking place. for tired and dusty
horses and lavatory for the guests
Of the hotel"
That's just the place." said Walter
to himself. 'Pll fish up stream, and
then down again, SO that I'll reach
here at noon"
He carried out his programme, went
to the :'hotel," where he rubbed soft
soap around his neck and washed it off
in the horse trough, and ten seated HIM
self at a wooden table. An old Missou-
rian sat smoking in one corner, and
never budged or paid the slightest at
tention to Mansfield, who was nibbling
at a cracker he found on the table.
'Well, where is my dinner| inquired
the hungry sportsman.

stem of his pipe at the table.

Tall Girls and Short.

Opinion has always been very much

height. The novelist and designers of
fashion plates incline to the view that
the female form divine should he

tionably been in the ascendant in more
senses than one of late. 1t has been
expected of us to be very much nearer
six feet than five, and we have very
successfully contrived to fulfill this ex-
pectation. Notwithstanding, there is a
great deal to be said on the other side.
There are those who will declare that
there is more fascination, more charm,
more vivacity about n little woman.
She is, they will say, more energetic,
and beside her the average young man
does not feel the drawbacks OF early
and incessant cigarette smoking and
the degeneracy of his sex; she can
coax and pout and fiounce into pretty
little passions with greater grace than

There was never yet little woman
who could not command attention and
fiirt five times as furiously as a tall
one, and no amount of height ever pro-
duced more dignity than q small wom-
an can assume ON occasion. 1t is, of
course, by comparison that everything
is thus and thus, and so it is only
when judged by the standard of some
exceptionally tall sister that a short

Sowing Turnips.

Turnips may be sown any time before

able conditions make good crop. They
should be sown on very weli-prepaFed
ground. and if sown just before q rain
they viii come up and make rapid
growth. The fleece beetle is very des-
tructiye some years, and the only RENE
dy seems to SOW them pretty thick,
thinning them out later when the in
sects have disappeared. On small
patches in gardens, SCOT is sometimes
efficacious in driving them off.
Turnips make their growth after the
cool night comes, and should be allow.
ed to remain in the ground until after
hard frosts have appeared. On many
farms this root is never grown, but
there are few farms on which 1t might
not be grown with fair profit.
