Track Did Not Connect.

why His Projected "Coup" on the Race
Track Did Not Connect.
[Detriot Free Press.]
Old Squire Workem had been going about
for several days buried in deep thought aud
having as little as possible to say. There
had been no profit in the grains, fruits, or
stock that he had raised. He could get
nothing out of those who owed him, for they
had heen squeezed dry. He had plenty. but
it had always been the passion of his life to
get more. Finally, he sent for Link Perk-
ms, shiftless but shifty Yankee to whom
the Squire never spoke.
Link ;" began the Squire, do you read
the papers?"
aJist the sportin' news mostly, sir"
Precisely. Then you know what coup
is. You must have read how few fellows
down in Mexico cleaned up quarter of .
million. and later how another gang found
$4,000 at Chicago; all by working this
coup business, understand"
eyes, heerd all about it 'Twar slick
business
"Well, Link, knowing that you can keep
your mouth shut, propose that you and
work coup. That brown flly of mine can
outrun anything in this part of the State.
They all know her but want you to dis
guise her some way, take her down into
Hackaway County as a new one and back her
for all the money you can get against her.
I'll furnish the money, but must not be
known in the matter. What do you think
of it?"
"Thar's fortune in it, Squire. We kin
break the Haekaway crowd, an they'll never
know how 'twar done"
The race-came of, and Link had barrel
of the Squire's money on the filly that her
owner would not have known. She started
like a shot out Of a gun, but after few
jumps bolted for home, took the fence like a
hunted stag, left her rider in tamarack
swamp, and reached the stable in broken
down condition.
Link never showed up, simply because be
had worked the coup so as to provide lib
| orally for his own future. All the Squire
did was to prepare bill for the next Legis-
lature making it a penal offenss to even at
tempt a coup on a race track.

BATrLEFLAGs OF xORE.

BATTLEELAGS OF YORE,
By z. II. BLASDY, BUFFALO, ny.
Oh, cherish those tattered Stars and StripeA
They'll live in song and story;
They We seen such grim and ghastly sights.
Those flags We call Old Glory.
They've charged with the gallant boys in blue.
And have fallen with the slain;
When rebels the standard bearer slew,
They were dyed in crimson stain.
They're taltercd and torn with shot and shell,
Are old. and faded, and worn;
But could they speak. what stories they'd tell
OF fields on which they were borne;
OF the dashing charge and lannon's roar.
And the bugie's cheering blast;
OF the shot and shell which through them tore
In those days now in the past.
Fondly around them memories cling,
Sacred batslefiags Of yore.
Shadowy visions TO me they bring
Or those stormy fields Of war.

Condor & Goodbar's entirely new,
up to date and original Irish musi
cal farce is to be the attraction at
Ghio's Opera House Wednesday
night, December 9th.
The piece ridicules the desire OF
American heiresses to marry for
eign titles, and, judging from the
comments of the Chicago press, the
author, who is with the production,
seems to have gotten on the right
track and handled his subject in a
mastery manner
The company is identicalIy the
the same as that which presented
piece so successfully in Chicago a
short time ago, where it enjoyed a
most successful run,
Among the twenty-five fun maxi

and most brilliant entertainment

replete with fun, fierce and furious
