heart and brain was not exact in its func-
ton. He further stated that this was
more a nervous than an organic defect.
AS that was five years ago, and l can
climb the steepest hills with ease and
pleasure, it seems to me that l am living
refutation OF the theory that racing is sure
to produce heart disease, and no man has
been engaged in more Furnishing races.
Now let us consider a minute. Does it
seem likely that nature would create US
of such fragile material that if boy were
to run mile for doctor at break neck
speed because his mother was critically
i'll he would drop dead of heart disease,
or linger for years and be found dead in
bed by his friends? Who ever heard of an
Indian warrior with heart disease, and yet
consider the dreadful races they are forced
to run at times, pursued by numerous
and bloodthirsty enemy?
Racing WHEN out of training Is danger
Gus. When out of condition the fat natu-
rally accumulates. and some of this fat
finds its way in the heart and among the
valves. Now these valves are at once
powerful ana delicate, and if there is any
fat mixed up among them it might inter-
fere with the circulation of the blood and
prevent them from doing their duty. A
man must use the judgment and will that
is given him ana refuse to compete when
out of condition. Realizing the danger of
racing on an excessively hot day in the
East l. refused TO compete, at one Time, In
race that was won by my bitterest rival,
and l am sure l came in for vigorous
charge of cowardice. But had the satis-
faction of doing what l thought was
right.
My recommendation to boys is to begin
work in the gymnasium at Ia or 15 years Of
age. If there is any track exercise taken
before that time it should be light, and
severe racing or prolonged training stadi-
ously avoided. From 18 to 20 training
may be commenced. but exciting contests
should not be considered. The young
athlete must remember that he has not
fully developed, that he has plenty of
time to make his mark in the world of
sport, that in no other sense is the phrase,
Haste makes waste" more applicable.
Previous to 20 years the frame Is imma-
ture and not fit to endure severe strains.
Until that time exercise should be pur-
sued more for the pleasure, health and ex-
perie ncethan TO achieve success in COM
petition. Let him continue until this age
and he will be able to stand almost any
strain he may impose upon himself. He
will find that he can go only just so far,
and when he attempts TO push himself be-
yond that he simply cannot do it; he feels
tired out, exhausted, but that is all.

A Special Set Issued to Mark the
Revival of the Olympian
Games.
ART AND HISTORY DEPICTED
There Is Likely to Be an Unusual
Demand for Them on the Part
of Collectors.

In commemoration of the revival of the
Olympic games Greece has issued set of
postage-stamps that will vie in popularity
with the famous Columbian issue OF the
United States.
II consists of twelve values from lep-
ton to 10 drachmas and enbodies eight dis
tinct designs. The latter are more than
usually attractive and very artistic, dis
playing ancient historic and artistic scenes
and objects.
The 1-lepton and 2-lepta denominations
have Corinthiau columns at the sides and
central design showing two ancient
wrestlers.
The 5 and 10 lepta have Ionic columns,
and in the center a reproduction of N.Y.
ron's famous statue, "Discobolus" (quolt
or discus thrower).
The 20 and 40 lepta are larger and are
twice as high as they are wide. These
show an antique Greek vase standing IN a
niche of mosaic, with Corinthian columns

The self-absorbed young lovers walk,
While, fresh as youthful hopes, unfuri

RESTRAINT ON THE VETO POWER
Why the President Sanctions Legislation
That He Disapproves OF.

That He Disapproves VI.
Ex-President Harrison writes of the veto
and treaty making powers of the President
in May Ladies' Home Journal-"This
Country of Ours series of articles. He
discusses the pocket veto," and says
concerning the restraints against the
exercise of the veto power that are
imposed upon the President: "* =
There is another practice in legislation that
greatly restraints the freedom of the Presi-
dent in using the veto power. What are
called riders are often placed in general
appropriation bills-that is, legislation of
a general character having nothing to do
with appropriations Is put into an ap-
preparation bill. This is equivalent to
saying to the President, Give your ap-
proval to this general legislation or go
without the appropriations necessary to
csrry on the Government
There are other practical restraints
upon the freedom of the President in the
exercise of the veto power. Very many
laws contain more than one proposition
some number of such-and the Presi-
dent must deal with them as thus asso-
clated In each of the great appropriation
bills many hundreds of distinct appropria-
tions are made. Some of these the Presi-

answer. To the surprise of everybody who
knew the policy of the Herald the whole
history of Miss Anderson and her family
was published in the paper the next morn
ing. Private matters were set forth at
length, and the paper spoke of the star as
Our Mary just as had done to the ed
itor the day before.
1T took the editor many months to
square himself with various OF mis- breth-
rem throughout the country, and with each
article of comment the words Our Mary

son. They have been her appellation ever
since, both in Europe and America.

began to feel excruciating pains in the
right shoulder and down the right side.
These pains were so severe that on July
15, 1895, he was obliged to quit work and
consulted with DR.. Myron e. GARNER, who,
thinking that rheumatism was to blame,
prescribed the liniments and mustard plas-
ters, both of which were used with good
effects; and at the end of week Mr.. Cum
mings went to work again.
AS soon as he went to work the pains
began bottle ring him again and seemed to
keep moving down the right side, lower
each DAY. 1t was with great difficulty
that Mr.. Cummings was able to ke p his
position until March %, when he resigned,
giving as reason that he must leave the
place, as it was damp. April l Mr. Cum
mings was seized with sharp pains below
the right hip, which bothered him so
much that he began an investigation,
which revealed little bunch about the
size of pea. The spot was very much
infamed and applications of iniment did
not allay the pain.
At last Mr.. Cummings went to DR.. NJ. A.
Veeder's office and submitted to an ex-
animation. After asking a number of
questions and examining the in1amed
spot. DR.. Veeder prescribed some lini-
ment and hazarded the opinion that car
buncle might be forming. The sick man
managed to walk home and got to his
room on the third story of the Republican
block, when he was seized with pain more
intense than ever before. 1t seemed as if his
clothing was irritating something and was
driving 1t into the flesh. Upon removing
his clothing MIR. Cummings discovered
the red spot and something protruding
short distance which looked black He
grabbed hold of the black object and was
surprised to pull out the headless needle,
which was discolored but not rusty. The
next morning Mr.. Cummings visited DR..

Young people of both sexes may receive an
inspiration that will stimulate healthy

dwell on a few of the fallacies that have
hung around training for half century.
True, most of these have been exploded,

Tho visit OF Colonel w. A. Harris, Of Lin

yesterday. 1t is well known that Colonel
Harris Is B~reidenthal's candidate for gov

nature, but to ascertain the real facts ex-
erclscd the utmost skill of Popullst In

ever alert, have fathomed the depth1 of the
mystery. They learned that Colonel Har-
rs was here in consultation with certain
Populists who are supposed to be slated
for the state ticket with him.
The observation-disclosures ticket, II Is
claimed, will be made VI as follows: Gov
ernor, w. a.. Harris, of Le~avenworth; leu
tenant governor, NJ. A. Pratt, of Sedgwick;
secretary of state. II. II. Artz, of Finney:

1t has been decided, II is said, to leave
the offices of chief Justice and congress-
man-at-lnrge to be filled by Democrats.
The Prudential GROVE thinks that these
two offices are enough for the Democrats
on "A fusion deal because of their light vot"
in the state. The plan of the combina-
ton Is TO have the Democratic convention
at Hutchinson on August 1 nominate Har-
rs and the rest of the ticket slated above.
and the Populists will indorse the nomi-
nations at Abilene. Gibbs. the colored
statesman of this city, is TO be given a
place in order TO capture the colored vote.

owned and operated by the Old Dominion
Mining and Smelling Company, at Globe,
with the home office at Boston, nave been
closed down. This throws 80 men out OF
employment, without warning. The shut
down is the result of trouble between the
miners and the superintendent. who re-
duced the wages of the carmen from $50
to sa.25 per day. The miners took up the
grievance of the men affected and made
demands as follows:
All men in the mine were to receive So
per day: none but union men were to be
employed; the union to be the Judge of the
qualification of employees; all Mexicans at
work for the company to be discharged at
once.
The superintendent was waited on by 800
men and Informed that II he did not ac-
cede to these demands he would be
marched out of town. Under these
threats. he acceded to the demands. The
matter was reported to the Boston office,
and the mine was ordered shut down. The
