fused would be dealt with roughly. The
meeting broke up in disorder. the joint
lists threatening Chiles with revenge for
his knocking" and ChiIes maintain
ing that it was his right to sight the
case if he chose. 1t was openly stated
in the meeting that Chief Steele had
agreed TO let the large joints run on
condition that once every two months
they should be pulled and 500 put up
and forfeited Since the new regime
the jointists seem to be satisfied. One
jOintist said to a reporter: We are
well enough satisfied Chief Steele is
going to pull us once in two months
and then we Will put up S100 That
will drive out the little places and We
can keep our places better. The least
deposit which can be put up when we
are pulled is 800, so they aim to pull US
that it will cost US $50 month Chief
Steele is all right. and you know that"
When Chief Steele first went into Of
flee he refused to pull JOintists unless
some of the temperance people would
swear to the complaints. claiming that
he could not secure evidence against
the joints. In the recent raids most of
the complaints were sworn to by Chief
Steele Some others were sworn to by
different members of the police force.
One of the members of the police
force, who knows the WORKINGS of the
department, said: Chief Steele viii

will put up their deposits. The joint
lists understand this and are willing to

the joints in Topeka There is no
doubt of that. for I know how things
are. When Chiies fought his case.
Steele ordered the others to close, and
that is why they jumped onto ChiIes.''
1t is a well known fact among men
who are about town considerable that
policemen visit joints not in an official
capacity. They have been seen drunk
on the streets The join lists make no
effort at preventing the entrance OF po-
lice officers into their places. and do
not stop the sale of liquor while they
are there.
Chief Steele belongs to a clJI1 where
Intoxicating liquors ara kept. and he
frequently admits If. He is also often
seen around joints, usually playing
pool The city ordinance which COW
ers the nuisance clause has a penalty
connected with it assessing a fine Of 100

ed at any time. All of US had seen too
many horse races not to know that
often races are won within half dozen
lengths Of the wire. You see you never
can tell what a horse may do until
the race is over, but you do know that
your machine will do exactly as you
expect nine times out of ten. II there
Is any fault it is usually with the
rider.
"Well, the sixth horse came in on us
with half-mile to travel. The horses
made the five miles in 9:54 and the
quad in 1913. Not so bad, was it,
when you consider that we had been
working pretty hard, and under dis
tinct disadvantages? We finished al
together 300 yards back Of the last
hcrse. We were beaten, to be sure, and
so far as the gentlemen who handled
the horses are concerned, all was per-
fectly fair, but 1 wish to state that
do not think the track at the Kensing
ton Driving park at Holmesburg, where
the race took place, was in proper con-
dition. In other words, the horses could
do much better on that sort of track
or rather on a track in that condition,
than we could. And it is not the least
discreditable to US that we admit it.
st am not afraid to state that in my
judgment, had all things been equal,
we would not have been any 800 yards
behind the horses at the finish. In fact,
l am not so sure about losing the $500
purse, but we believe our record could
have been much better, at least, under
equal conditions. So firmly are we of
this opinion that we are now arranging
for another trial in the near future.

AT to 1:50 on good track. This was
the basis of the first challenge, but In
this instance the triplet team with
drew because it had made its fast mile
on a board track, and on the ordinary
race track would not be able to keeI
to it's record Then the world triplel
team, of which am steersman, was
challenged, but the machine met with
an accident and therefore the quad
ruple bicycle was substituted.
'"The track was in bad shape and the
turns very soft and sandy, making II
very difficult to hold the machine al
speed. Therefore on account of this
state of affairs we were compelled tc
slow down at one turn and resume
operations by starting in the face of 6
heavy wind, which any rider will al

vantage.
Our team consisted of R. E. Dippy

horses opposed to US were Belisarius

and Statesman. They were started al
different distances. Belisarius anG

Ada Kirk three-quarters of a mile
each Kirkover made a mile anC
a half mile
"Beisarius was a bad horse to start
and in an attempt to get him ready

the good, much to our disappointment.

phatically I say by no means. Art, let
me reiterate, will never die. Let them
read carefully what l have written
briefly above, and they have my an
swer. Now as to the pointers" some
of them ask me for as to commanding
success" Briefly 1 will tell them that
success must be conquered. 1t is never
commanded" To attain this desirable
result the applicant must have natural
dramatic ability and a tremendous ca
pacity for hard work. There is no royal
road to learning. Neither is there to
successful acting. Study, study, study,
night and day. Be obseryant. Initiate
the good points of your elders and
avoid the bad ones. Originate when
you can, but do not attempt this titanic
feat until you have learned a whole
lot The best advice on how to act
can be found in Hamlet's little talk
to the players. To all aspiring neophy-
tes in the dramatic art l recommend
that passage. The immortal SNAKE
speare cannot be improved upon, al
though some daring souls from time to
time essay the feat. Pay attention IN
particular to the points" he makes
about mouthing speech, saving the air,
tearing passion to tatters and spllttlng
the ears of groundings. Neither noise
nor gymnastics constitute art, ana 10
have recourse to them alone IN one S
study is, to quote the divine poet, 10
initiate humanity abominably.' Such
course offends all good people TO lhe
soul as we'll as Shakespeare.
Another thing which offends the good
taste of good people is the realism
bad actors indulge in nowadays to hide
their defects 1t is discourag1ng TO true
artists to be obliged to compete WIN
ex-burglars who burgle safe IN 1uli
view of the audience, with fighters VINO
battle in a tWenty-four-foot ring ana
bridge jumpers who plunge into a tank
of real water and rescue heroine nall
chilled to death from it's briny depths.
When Garrick, Macready, FORREST anu
Booth were on the stage, they acted
There was no need of realism" beyond
the regular property and stage scenery
to help them out. Only modern stars
need that effective commodity
1t is also discouraging to the young
woman in particular who possesses the
artistic sense to be compelled TO play
an inferior part at a small salary to one
Who has no other qualification to rec
ommend her save that she has coquet-
ted with princes and kings, fake or real,
or has enjoyed a sensational dlNorce
trial or has been the heroine OF mur-
der case. All these things right them
selves in time, and ere long the chaH
becomes separated from the wheat, pre-
tense from real merit
IF the dramatic instinct is in either a
man or a. woman, it will develop before
very much time is spent in study, but
the beginner should never be discourag-
ed by early failures. He or she might
have got a part thoroughly unsuitable
and might do better in more congen-
iaI character. Courage is great factor
