Cummings. The calls upon him for as
sistance during the last few days have
been away beyond the average and he has
had hard work in complying with the
requests for fuel but the demand has
been met and not much suffer-
ing above the ordinary amount
has resulted from the extreme cold of the
past four or five days. But the cold
weather has had another undesirable
result in rendering impossible
much outside work being done
by the city and private concerns
and in consequence good many laborers
are temporarily out of employment and
more families are added to the list OF those
that must be helped by the authorities.

The funny story.
Were you ever importuned to tell that
funny story you told the other day? As a
matter OF fact the funny story, as rule.
is very sad. 1t is expected, led up to, and
two to one, disappointing.
Besides that it has been invariably told
before. No matter how true, how loyal,
how noble your friend may have been
during his whols past life, no matter how
courageous a soul you know him TO have
been at great crises, at moments OF dan
ger even in battle, how scrupulously exact
in business-he will vouch for the facts
in the veriest old chestnut OF a tsle-some-
thing you could swear you had heard in a
previous existence.

without severe pain TO the wife, who re-

not killing the husbands nerve.

answer would doubtless be in the mega

long for something you have not

THE RACES.

Sheepshead Bay, l.. l., Sept 2.-The card presented here today was one of the best of the meeting. The attendance was 5000 persons, and the track was fast There were two big events down on the programme for decision, the Partridge stakes for 2-year-olds and the Irwin City handicap for 3-year-odls and upwards. In the fromer race the field got away in good order, with the favorite in front, Roundsman at his head and Kamsin next. Crescendo made the running un- der rap to the head of the stretch. There Roundsman and Kamsin both stopped, leaving an opening for One-I- Love, and Taral quickly shooting the lilly through caught Crescendo at the furlong pole. One-I-Love smothered the Californian with her speed, and, drawing away in the last sixteenth, won by a length. Crescendo was second. a length in front of Merry Prince.
 The Twin City handicap furnished a great surprise in the defeat of Henry of Navarro, the favorite, by Key Fl Santa Anita. This pair alternated in second place until the turn for home was reached, when Taral sent Key Fl Santa set sail for him and remained at his withers until after the last furlong post had been passed. Then both jockeys drew their whips. but Key El Santa Anita was the quicker to respond and gradually drew away, winning by length and g. half. Excess was third, five lengths away.
 First race, five furlongs-Bloomer, 102 (Grifin), to 1, won; Peggotty second. Sunrise II third. Time, 1:021s.
 Second race; seven furlongs-April Fool, 104 (Perkins), to 1, won; Lancer second. Campania third. Time. :29 f-5.
