SHE LOVES HORSES.
Mrs. Caton Crosses the Ocean as Caretaker
 of Trotting Stock.

of Trotting Stock.
 Mrs. Mary Caton, whose husband conducts large stock farm near Lan- sing, Mich, was one of the most inter- esting passengers on the Hamburg liner Phenicia when it left the dock at Ho- boken the other morning.
 Her claim to this distinction is that she is the first woman who ever crossed the ocean in the capacity of caretaker to stable of trotting horses
 The horses include Senate, pacer, with a record of 2:164. He is the only one in the consignment which has not been already sold. He will be cam paigned on the European circuit. Mrs. Caton hopes to sell quite few pacers abroad after the foreigners have seen Senate's work.
 Others in tho string are the black mare Monette, 2:144 and two mile race record of A, by Monon the baby mare Valley Queen, 2:154, by Sphinx, dam by Red Wilkes; the bay stallion Travernier, 2:261a, by Pilot Wilkes, dam by Almost. the brown stallion Trophy, by Faustine, dam by Robert McGregor; Maspero, :29H, by Brown Wilkes, and two others without records Mrs. Caton will be accompanied on the trip by her 15-year-old son and the head foreman of the farm. The party came east in Burton stock car, Mrs. Caton and her two companions riding ill the car with the horses. She is abont me- dium height and thoroughly understands horses. She decided to undertake the journey because her husband is needed at the farm. Mrs. Caton has great faith in the string of animals.-New York JOurna1

THE END.
Two Links In a Chain.

An English writer, the author of GA Winter Jaunt In Norway" in describ- ing visit to Bjornstjerne Bjornson, mentions two incidents which are worth putting together for the encouragement especially of those who have to do with the training of young minds. They are excellent illustrations of the truth that a child or man may appear to be dull of intellect when in fact he needs only the right touch to make him thinker.
 Bjornson, it appears, was not sup posed when boy to have any remark able talent, nor was he particularly studious. At 15 years of age, however, sudden change came over him. Some one persuaded him to read Wergeland's s poem, '"The English Pilot :" The boy was fascinated. A new world was open to him. He longed to become poet himself, to move men by his writings, to make his mark in the world.
 This is incident No l. The second has to do with Bjornson's own influence upon a chance nearer.
 The English lady who records it, while travelling far up in the country, stopped at little farm and was amazed to find we'll stored bookcase She men, tioned in particular works by Ibsen, Bjornson and Brandes
 "You are fond of reading, see," she said to the farmer
 "Well, 1 wasn't formerly" he an- sWered, ''but you see heard Herr BjOrn- son lecture on heredity down at Konlgs- berg, and got a bit interested and bought two of his books, and enjoyed them so much I've bought more, and now read good deal ill the long win ter evenings, and like it. "
 So one thing leads to another. And so tiny seed, dropped almost by chance, may result in harvest. Com naniOn

What He Wanted Most.

A lady who was shopping noticed a very small boy who was employed as "cash' in the store, and being interest ed in him began to ask him questions:
 Wouldn't you like to live with me and have everything my little boy has?" she inquired.
 "What does your little boy have?" asked the child, fixing his large, serious eyes upon her face.
 ''Oh, he has books and tops and a pony," and she enumerated a lot of things
 ''Has he any papa?" asked the child.
 "Oh, yes, he has a dear, kind papa, who gives him all these things.
 ''Then would like to be your little boy," said the child gravely, flor my papa is dead, and would rather have him than any of the ether things"
 The lady who had been merely talk ing with tho child for amusement had hard work to keep back her tears at this naive confession. Detroit Free Press.

der the management OF Charles Henry
Gepslinger who IL also Its president, had
its first boxing entertainment last night.
There was great crowd, and the card
offered was fairly good.
fhe first bout OF the evening was be-
tween Jerry Reidy OF New York, and
Jimmy Baker, also OF that city. They
fought six rounds at catch weights, and
the former was badly punished. He stood
gamely to the end of the bout, however,
when The referee, "Honest John" Kelly,
decided in Bakers favor.
Eddie Goodhody OF New York and
Peck Barry OF Jersey City, fought six
tounds to a draw, as did also George Fa-
gan OF New York, and Joe Bateman OF
Washington. The last named pair put mp
a pretty night, and IL was nip and tuck
between them from ths second round.
The last bout on tho card was an eight
round go between Joe Craig of Jersey City
and Jack Bird OF New York. Bird in the
hrst round outpointed Craig and knocked
him TO the fioor after two minutes fight
ing, almost putting him out. Before
Craig could get up Bird, who seemed TO
lose his head, smashed him and wss
promptly disqualified by the referee. ] he
decision was greeted with applause.

Shivery air kept many baseball regular
patrons away from the closing game OF
