A slippery Indiana Trick.
Detroit Free Press


eff I ever live to see a time when foot
racing is done on the square" declared the
old sportsman, I'm know that the world Is
pretty well regenerated and the millennium
is net far off, A professional sprlnter seems
to think that he's no good if he tries to do
business on the level.
Down in Indiana a few or us framed up
a job to make a small fortune. Tnere was
a timer in a good-sized town who could
run in Just shade above ten seconds ana
had no trouble in beating every one IN that
section. We made no noise about the mat
ter but quietly got a job OF bookkeeping
there for professional runner. He was
slender like most of them, and no one SuS-
pected our scheme. One Labor day they
were having a lot of athletic games ana We
sure-thng spectators just happened TO pc
there. We made it point to do a little bet
ting whenever opportunity offered on any
of the events, but it was for the loot race
that we had arranged our grand coup.
stOf course, our bookkeeper was entered
and there was no trouble in getting all
kinds of odds against him. The money went
up as fast as we could call for 1t, and L
really began to think we would be respon-
sible for financial panic In the place;
Even the mayor laid a wager with me ana
/ laughingly told him that he knew all his
people and might be betting on a sure
thing for all 1 could tell. He laughed even
more heartily and said that he was not
putting up his money with an idea OF send
ing it out of town.
the front, and it was plain that he could
outfoot the timer any and all points OF the
route. But near the finish our champion pc
track He was making heroic EFFORTS, put
not advancing a foot. There was ABOUT a
wagon-load of soft soap at thar point ana
IT was not there by accident. The tlnner
won amid the widest excitement, and when
I tried to enter a protest the mayor again
laughed as he looked at his watch and fixed
a. time for me and my felloW-consplrators
fo he out of his jurisdiction ! don't know
vet who gave US the double cross.

the animal creation, all of 1t, have the
pity and love of good Samaritans.
To return to the higher order again. there
is the unhappily common race prejudice.
Perhaps our neighbor may be an Indian,
Chinaman or Italian. Take, for instance,
the poor Jew. He has been on the Jericho
road for over eighteen hundred years In
nearly every country under heaven the
Jews have been the victims Of unjust preju-
dice and malicious persecution. Yet were
they the people chosen OF God for the
grandest purpose in racial history. The
greatest statesman of the ages Joseph, was
a Jew. The greatest poet that ever sung
David, was Jew. Through the apostles,
all Jews, the world has been infinitely
blessed. The Savior of men was himself
Jew, yet in heaven He made the whole
human family His neighbor, and came
along the worlds Jericho road to help and
to save both Jew and Gentle, bond and
free. Even as the King of the Jews neigh
bored all mankind should we likewise neigh
Dor the people of the King. Why should
the Gentle despise the Jew or the Jew hate
the Christian? Let each find in the other
his Samaritan friend.
The nearest neighbor for some of us may
live miles away. The nearest may be
personal enemy-is he the man? Or the
nearest some criminals he the man? Sew
en- hundred and fifty thousand prisoners in
our land need the judicious ministrations of
neighborly Samaritans. Sailors off on the
ocean and rarely enjoying the comforts of
the shore need them. Servants in the du-
ties of home and mart need them. The
toiling masses need them.s The miserable
poor need them. Orphan children need
them. The outcasts of society need them.
Glorious will be the day when all shall
know and fully develop the meaning that
the great word Samaritan love-when all
shall understand and fully practice that
great injunction, Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thvself"

A long, low bank Of white and glittering cloud
Lay like a snow drift in the evening sky
Behind lower cloud as black ink;
And as gazed entranced, storm passed by
That shook and tore the cloud-ranls as a gale
Tosses the sea and sets green waters foaming-
While there / watched the scene amid the gloam-
ing,
And saw the storm die out. high lights grow pale,
The lightning's blazing in the snow-white mist
Beyond the mass Of Opaque ebon black
Made cen the black transparent and saw
The cloud all white along each bolts bright track.
thought came to me that made life more blest-
Q blessed something that we do not see,
That shows US love in everything we meet!
The thought that came 10 cheer and comfort me
Was this: THE cloud beyond is my ideal.
Snew white and pure beyond all earthly seeming;
The black cloud that doth bar the others gleam-
ing
Is that dread interposer called the real;
And when loves light embIazons that beyond,
The thing between becomes a petty veil
mat no more may resist my eager gaze
1fan wisps Of straw may check the mighty gale .

Missouri Hens On.
Buffalo Commercial.


Hurrah for hens-not all hens-just Mis-
souri, hens. According to the estimates of
Secretary J. r. Rippey, of the State Board
of Agriculture, they have during the past
year enriched the State in the sum of Sl4,-
100000 The items of this munifcent contri-
button to the wealth of the State are: OF
poultry shipped. 100000 pounds, at cents
a pound, s.. So. 400; eggs, 80 426, 600 dozen at
II cents a Dozen S40l1 ,120; feathers, $4,000
pounds at 80 cents a pound, $l24. 800; total
for shipments, s.. los 800; the state consump-
ton is estimated at about much more,
which makes the grand total of Sl4,OUo,00O.
This is q splendid record and shows that
even under adverse circumstances Missouri
hens can be depended upon to lay the
foundations of prosperity. In an off year
they stayed on. They saw what was needed
to settle outstanding obligations and Meth
err crowed nor got the cholera, but laid TO
the task. All honor to hens that laid under
the woodshed and on the strawstack-hens
that stole their nests and hens that sat
where they were set. Every dunghill did ler
duty and every bantam raised brood. Mis-
souri, is out Of a hole and the bullets did It.

On Finding a stone AK.

True, our modern tools are finer;
Notwithstanding, to my mind,
The primeval ax-designer
Was The greatest of his kind;
For. with precedent denied him,
He devised this cleaving blade
And the niggard past supplied him
Only with scrap of jade.
Then he snote and Clipped and cluttered
All the stone floor of his den,
And the sparks that spat and sputtered
Lighted up the years of men.
