As fair as brave, and as brave as he,
She smiling gives her hand;
Though her souls afaint, he must not see'
He must not understand.
The gaping wound in her loving heart
He must not know or heed
And so she smiles, with woman's art,
And wishes him Godspeed.
How oft has she heard her mother tell
OF how in 'sixty-three,
The soldier lad that she loved so well,
Had gone the same as he
OF how he had trimmed his Maltese cross
Amid her corsage lace,
And asked from her, for his badges loss,
A rose to take its place!
He would claim that cross, some day, he
said,
And something, too, more dear;
But the cross mid rose leaves dried and
dead,
Has rested many a year.
As fair as brave, and as brave as ne,
She smiling gives her hand,
Though her souls afaint he must not see.
He could not understand.

The first night race meet Of the season
will be held this evening commencing at 8
o'clock, at the Park Bicycle Clubs track,
on the Conduit road. This will also be the
beginning of night racing in this city, and
there is every reason to believe that there
will be large gathering in attendance.
Poles have been erected all along the out
side edge of the track, upon which are set
clusters OF twenty-five candle-power lights
The grand stand has been decorated with
numerous lines of single lights and clusters,
which ought to show up the structure in
fine style. The entrances to the place are
also well Illuminated, both on the outside
and inside. The large searchlight, of 2 ZOO
candle power, which has been mounted on
the grand stand, is all ready for the turn
ing on of the current to send its beams for
several miles toward the city. Everything
is in readiness for the initial race meet by
night. and the novelty of the thing yet re-
mains to be seen.

GRAND CIRCUIT RACES

The first big race meet of the season will
be held Thursday afternoon at the Park
track. For the first time this year the
crack riders of the country will be seen in
this city in competition events and some
excellent races can be looked for. The
race, while a part of the national circuit
races, is distinguished as the grand circuit
meet, inasmuch it was selected and
agreed upon by the members of the Ma
tional Cycle Track Association, which held
session early in the spring in New Eng
land and arranged a series of races upon
sort of cooperative basis. While the
name Of the organization has lately
changed, its aims and objects are practi-
cally the same, and regular number of
pacemakers and attendants are employed.
The racing men who start the season with
The association are compelled TO enter in
all events during the season.
At the meet next Thursday s425 in cash
Will be given, the largest amount of any
meet this year in the District. This sum
will be distributed among three profession
al races. There are also three amateur
events on the program, and the total value
of the prizes for these will amount to
nearly $50. This will make a grand total
Of nearly 5000 in prizes to be given the
lucky winners. The entry fee for the pro-
fessionals is 81 for each race. while for the
amateurs the amount is 81 for the first
race and fifty cents for each additional
race.
Should the night race meet prove a sue
cess this evening it is likely that night
racing Will be held Thursday. 1t is con-
templated to hold the trial heats in the
afternoon and the finals at night. This
Will practically give two sessions for the
meet, and the carrying out of the plan is
being seriously considered.
In the program two championship races
VIII be run. Perhaps the most interesting
to the local people is the one-mile race for
the District championship. This race has

cne-mile professional for the honor of the
rational championship. This year a new
plan has been introduced in ascertaining
the national champion at the close of the
season. By this plan a championship race
for one. two or three miles is arranged at
every national circuit meet, and at the
close of the season the rider who makes
the best showing is to be crowned cham
pion.. This does away with all contention as
to the person most deserving of the honor
The events and prizes for the meet are as

STAMPS on MONEY ORDERS.
Interest In Pending Treasury Des
partment Decision.

The officials of the Post Office Depart
ment are anXiously awaiting the decision
of the Treasury Department upon the
question of revenue stamps on money or
ders.
There is a provision in the war revenue
law which places an additional tax Of two
cents on each money order issued and the
question involved is whether this means
the simple collection OF the two cents OF
the application of a two-cent revenue
stamp on the order.
II is a matter of grave Importance to the
operation of that feature of the war tax

ditional tax of two cents to the money or

simply debts himself with that amount in
his quarterly statement and the auditor has
no trouble checking the account.
1t is estimated the government will COL

this tax.
