w. S, Barnes, of Lexington, who for
several years at Washington park.
Chicago, as chief of the board of stew
ards and presiding judge, has this to
say concerning racing in Kentucky:
1--WE have had hard times there for
the last few years, but business Is now
improving, and the Bluegrass region
still remains the birthplace and home
of the true thoroughbred race horse.
Why do / claim this? Simply because
Longfellow. Tenbrook, Hindoo, Tenny,
Domino, Salvador Jim Gore, Hanover.
Ferenzi, Miss Woodford and The But
terflies were foaled in Kentucky. Our
state can hold its own against the
United States when it comes to thor
oughbreds. Look at this year, for in
stance.
"The Louisiana derby was won by
Meadowthorpe, a horse foaled within
one mile of Lexington; the Arkansas
derby was won by a Kentucky horse;
another won the Tennessee derby; and
yet a fourth was first for the grand
prize at Nashville.
"The Kentucky derby went to a Ten
nessee-bred horse, but it was said at
the time that Claytons bad ride cost
Ornament, a Kentucky horse, the race,
and from the showing since-Ornament
easily defeated Typhoon II. at st.
Louis-it looks as if he should have
won the Louisville event.
OTHER VICTORIES.
Ornament won the Clark stakes, the
derby and Himyar at Latonia, the Oak
ley derby, and when he at last was de-
feated through a heavy impost and
q heavier track, what was 1t beat
him? FleischmSnn, a Kentucky
horse. Howland, conceded the best of
western -year-olds, came to the
Futurity, at Louisville, with an un-
beaten record, yet had his colors low
cred by Bannockburn, one of ours.
"Eolthem is considered the best colt
at ST. Louis Certainly he's from Ken
lucky. He was beaten by Knowles, but
Knowles, his conqueror, was raised on
bluegrass. Now take look at the big
eastern handicaps. The Metropolitan,
Brooklyn and Suburban were all won
by horses foaled in Kentucky, as also
was the Brooklyn derby and that at
Coney Island. The $4,000 fremont
stake, at Brooklyn, was won by Hand
ball, Kentucky bred, and the great
E1ClpSe, at w NeSlCHeSleT, went u Il IOH-
man, from the same state. Hamburg
beyond a doubt the best two-year-old
of the year, winner of the Double
Event and Great Trial stakes, is the
star of the lot we have sent out this
year. unless Howland, from the same
county. is better.
PROUD OF THEIR HORSES.
Strange to say, all of the above
mentioned horses were foaled within a
radius of twenty-five miles of Lexing-
ton. We've got 'em, sure, on the thor
oughbreds, and naturally feel a pride
in the fact that our state produces
more good race horses than are foaled
elsewhere. Yet against us we have the
immense breeding farms on the Pacific
slope of Haggin, Stanford, Baldwin,
McDonough and Spreckles, and those
in New Jersey of p. Lorillard, the
Thompsons and Appleby, to say moth
ing of those of lesser note throughout
the United States.
That's the reason why colts from
this section of the country, and by the
Sizes that have produced such race
horses, are always sure to bring good
prices. comparatively, even in hard
tim9s."

Laughter and Wrinkles.

Nine persons out of ten, if asked
to give what they consider the cause
of wrinkles, would probably reply
that it is worry and care. This,
however, is by no means always the
case, for, as a matter of fact, many
of them come from laughing. There
is, after all, an art in laughter, and
to know how to laugh is really quite
as important as to know when to do
so. If you laugh with the sides Of
your face, the skin will work loose
in time, and wrinkles will form in
exact accordance with the kind of
laugh you indulge in. The man
who always wears smirk will have
a series of semicircular wrinkles
covering his cheeks. A gambler
who is accustomed to suppress his
feelings generally has a deep line
running from each side of his nose
to the upper corner of his mouth,
which in time extends to the chin,
forming the shape of half moon.
A cadaverous person is usually
marked with two wrinkles, one on
the jaw and the other under the eye,
meeting at right,angles at the cheek
bones. The students wrinkles form
on the brow, while those of the
schemer come round his eyes and
resemble the spokes of wheel

Dangers of Buffalo Hunting.

A son OF an Iroquois half breed
went out one day with other Indians
to run bufaloes along the Red river,
but he never returned. They found
his horse and his gun and knife, but
could not find the man.
About a year later, as the Indians
were hunting in another part of the
country, a buffalo COW was seen
which had something peculiar on
her head. They chased and killed
her and found that her singular
head ornament was the pelvis of a
man, one of her horns having pierc-
ed the thin part of the bone, which
was wedged on SO tightly that they
could, scarcely get it off.
Much OF the hair on the head,
neck and shoulders of the cow was
worn off short, and on the side on
which the bone was the hair looked
new, as it it had been worn off the
skin and was beginning to- grow out
again.
1t is supposed that this bone was
part of the missing half breed, who
had been hooked by the COW and
carried about on her head until his
body fell to pieces. Exchange.

DANGER ~ EARLY RISING.
Doctors Theory That the Habit Helps

u Make People Insane.
DR.. SelGen II. Talcott, the medical
perintendent Of the Middlerown State
Insane asylum recently. started the the
DRY that nothing conGuced SO much to
insanity as early rising.
In proof Of his assertion DR. Talcott
calls attention 10 the relative frequency
with which farmers, their wives, sons
and daughters become insane The cause
Of this has hitherto been thought to be
their isolated lives, their hard work and
perhaps the excessive use of pie and POI
tatoeS.
On the other side, ii has always
seemed 10 DR.. Talcott and other eminent
elienlsta that there must be some other
deep seated cause Of insanity among the
farming classes than pie and potatoes.
Farmers have always pure, fresh air in
abundance, which city folk seldom have,
they are less liable 70 mental and nerv-
Gus strain than city folk and also less
liable 10 infectious diseases and the bad
effects OF alcohol
DR.. Talcott's view, after careful
consideration Of the advantages and dis
advantages Of farming life as predis-
posing cause Of insanity, is that it is the
excessively early hours OF rising which
increase insanity in the rural districts
