the post seemed interminable. Break
after break was made. After tifty minutes

start. Butterflies head in front of Cali

dashed, and, curious TO relate, five filliss
were leading the field and looked 10 be GO
ing well, Butterflies ahead. The pace was
hot, and some began to falter When the
haif-mils post was reached Butterflies had
a lead of two lengths. and Griffin was
looking back at the others and
easing his mount. Agitator, under
the strong urging Of Taral. had
come up 10 second place and was head in
front of Connoisseur. 0utta Percba was
fourth and California fifth. Around the
turn into the main track they came with a
mai rush, and while Butterflies seemed 10
be going easily the others were being
urged TO their utmost to catch the fast
flying filly. Ii seemed 10 be all over but

I'm heard the thunder OF his hoofs and,
CHANGING back, saw the streak of chestnut
lightning, with Clayton riding like mad
after him. There was no time to
waste now, and the clever lightweight
jockey began digging with his heels and
riding for dear life. He could help his
mount little. for she was tired now ard
with every jump Brandywine was catching
her. Now ne was at her tail; then his
white nose was at her saddle, and Griffin
saw il poked under his eyes and he had to
ride as hard as he knew how to land the
rich stakes for Gideon and Daily. with
small fortune for the thousands who had
bet on the filly he was riding. Inch by
inch the colt was gaining on him and he
was straining his eyes for the finish, now
only 3 few yards away A few more
jumps and the finish line VAS passed by a
tired boy and a tired filly. and the rich
stakes were won by head. The
crowd cheered the FLY, but IL

There was plenty of cheering for Griffin
when he came back TO be weighed. and all
the way to the paddock he was carried in

TWILIGHT.

Oh. twilight hour Of faint and mystic light.
When shadows fall across the fading land.
AND long forgotten voices of the past
Fhat back and chant like spirits of the night,
In voices sad and solemn, till at last,
WaEering, they cease in the uncertain light.
When mists along the water rise and drift
And hang upon the rimpling waveIets clear,
In which the dark reflections Of the trees
ShadoWy, indistinct and dim appear.
Like s~pecters, tall and gaunt, the cedar trees
Stand dark against the golden tinted sky,
Whilst from their topmost boughs the settling
crow
Utters its desolate and direful cry.
The undulating reeds sway to the breeze
That DER them signs its plaintiYe wailing
note;
In the twilight hush like vespers soft it sounds,
As DER the tranquil water it doth float.
Oh, silent hour, dreamlike and indigtinct,
When long forgotten voices of the past
Return and hold com nunion with the soul!
Oh, sad and sacred hour of dying day,
Whose death the hallowed Angelus doth toll,
kneel thou to silent night and his dread sway.

The Price of Wisdom,

There is nothing stranger to youth
than the persistency with which age prof
fers it's experience; there is nothing more
trying to age than the determination OF
youth not to accept it. The fathers,
mothers and guardians who have learned
their hard lessons would be glad to i'm
part their knowledge. without it's ruin
u price, to those they love. But the
youngsters will have none of it. No;
they must buy their own wisdom, ''dree
their own weird" "pay the piper" them
selves. No yearning affection a shield
them from the trials and temptations
they rush s. gayly to meet.
But why should the elders continually
mourn that such is the case? They have
spent their lives in learning how to live.
So did their predecessors. Their chill
dren will do the same. The law is uni
versal. knowledge comes only with
age and wisdom with the close Of life.
1t must be that It WAS so intended. The
blunders Of youth, the struggles Of ma
turity, the regrets of age, are all part
Of the inevitable training Of each soul;
y training necessary before it is prepared
to enter on a fuller life.-Harper's Bazaar.

Light is necessary to health. People
who live in gloomy places, say state
PRISONS, for example, are always peakish.
Owls affect the twilight and the dark,
and what miserable mopes they are.
Eagles love the sunshine, and how strong
Of wing they are and how exultlngly
they soar. It is true that one may have
too much sun, but it is cheering to see
the sunlight, even when it is necessary
to sit in the shade. How it enlivens Us
in winter, ~exhilarates US in spring, en-
hances our appreciation of the shade in
summer and charms Us in glorious au-
tuInn.

The Rothschilds' Charity.

A story about the head of the banking
house Of Rothschilds was related at the
Grand Pacific hotel by Baron Heinrich,
Of Berlin. "Some years ago the old
cashier Of the great establishment" said
the Baron, event to Rothschild and told
him that after thirty years of service he
had managed to ave $50, 900 francs and
he desired to go into business for him
self. His employer regretted his cashiers
departure, but babe him good luck. The
cashier embarked in speculation and in
a short time lost every cent. Recogniz-
ing the fact that while he was a good
servant he was a poor master, he called
on the Rothschilds, told his story and
asked for re-emp' 3yment.
"The banker installed him in his old
place, and advancing him a years salary
advised him to invest it in a certain
stock. The cashier did so. The banker
instructed his brokers how to act, and
between them they sent the price up to
a point at which the banker advised the
cashier to sell. The cashier did so at a
profit that recouped for all his losses.
The price then settled down to it's nor
NAL figure, and the banker charged him
self with the 10000 francs which he
knew his old employe would have been
too proud to take outright as q gift"-

The Interview.

To the newspaper interview we are
indebted for a vast amount Of enlight-
eminent, learning and wisdom that the
interviewer has got from men who, with
out his suggestion, would never have
given it to the world. The principle of
interviewing, going right to the source
of information, gives us accuracy also.
And take it all in all, the American
newspaper contains the most truthful
history that has ever been written.
A fine interviewer is one of the most
valuable men on a great journal. He
must be a nan Of education, acquainted
with affairs, skilled in the use Of words;
above all, he must possess an instructive
understanding Of human nature. A fine
mar who is being interviewed is like a
fine fish that you have hooked. You
will fail if you attempt to 'yank him."
You must humor him a little; play out
and reel in; let him have his own way,
and then he is lost and you land him.
