ficers Elected

BAKERSFIELD, Cal, Jan. 26.-The
first series in the all-age stake of the
Pacific coast field trials was concluded
today. The dogs deemed by the judges
to have a chance for first, second or
third place will be put down tomorrow
in the second seriee.
Among the dogs put down today was
Luke, an English setter, with record Of
field trial winnings east. Luke showed
great bird finding quality, but on gen.
eral work he lacks the speed and taking
style of Emmett Sullivan's eastern field
trial winner, Dash Antonio.
The first brace, consisting of Mrs.
Caesar Young's English setter dog Luke,
of international field trial fame, and the
Verona kennels English setter bitch,
Cleans Ruth, also an eastern winner,
were put down at $3.50 a. m. A good covey
of birds was found within few min
utes. Luke pointed and when Coutts
shot stood ready The eastern dog
worked slowly, the bitch excelling in
range and speed. Luke was steadier and
more certain on his points. The dogs
were taken up after being down forty
five minutes.
w. s. Tevis' pointer dog Cuba of Ken
wood, winner of second in the Derby,
was put down with John Schumacher S
English setter Valiente, winner of third
in last years Derby. The dogs were cast
off in open ground. On the point worl,
and in style Valiente eXcelled and also
showed superior nose. The dogs were
taken up at the end of an hour.
The completion of the first series to-
dow loauac Tho faIIowiuu 1ooc in the
field for tomorrow: Nimrod against Va

was shot at his residence on Christmas
night, died tonight. 1t was at first sup
posed that the bullet came from the pistol

PITTSBURG, Jan. 26.-There was a
very light attendance at the seventy

much easier. Waller and Eckes are still
tied for first place, with Schinneer a
good third and the others trailing. The

479 miles, six laps; Walters, 47O miles, 10

The record for 36 hours in 72-hour
race was broken tonight by SO miles.

A Child Shall Lead Them.

Some time ago missionary from
Madras was travelling through crowded
villages, and received an invitation to
go to one never before visited. On his
arrival the people collected around
him, and begged him to send them q
missionary and a schoolmaster to teach
them ''the sacred BOOK. The missio-
nary asked them, "What do you know
about my sacred book?' And an old
man sitting near him answered, 81
known little of it", and began re-
peating in Tamil the first two or three
chapters of st. Johns gospel. To his
surprise, also, he found that the man
was totally blind. He asked how he
could possibly have learned so much,
when the man answered that lad
from some distance, who had been
taught in a mission school, had for
months been working in this village,
and had brought with him part of
the New Testament. He had read this
aloud so often that the blind man bad
learned it by heart, and although the
bov had left the village some time be-
fore, not q word of these precious truth.
had been forgotten Missionary Links

Famous Battle SteedS.


The most celebrated battle s:eeds o.
the civil war were Cincinnati, Traveller
and Winch ester. the favorite chargers
of Grant, Lee and Sheridan. When
the hero of Vicksburg visited Cincin.
natl few months after the close OF
that brilliant campaign, he was re
quested to visit a dying man, who was
exceedingly DESTROYS of seeing him.
When they met the invalid said: "Gen
Grant, 1 wish to give you q noble
horse, who has no superior on the con-
tinent, as a testimony of my admiration
of your character and past services to
our country. There is a condition at
tached to the gift-that you will always
treat him kindly" Grant accepted the
magnificent bay, of course faithfully
keeping his promise, and named him
Cincinnati. He was q son of LeXing-
ton, with a single exception the fastest
four-mile thoroughbred that ever ran
on an American course. The general
was offered 3d. for the horse, as he
had a record of speed almost equal to
that of his famous half-brother, Ken
lucky. Cincinnati WAS a superb and
spirited steed of great endurance,
Grant riding him almost constantly
during the Wilderness campaign, and
passing from end to end of our long
line. The noble:horse was retired soon
after the close of the war, enjoying
IAN old age of dignifed leisure" on a
Maryland estate, where he died and
received.an honorable burial in Septem-
Der, 1874

The Woman With Ripped Gloves.

Il always look with askance at the
woman who has rips in her gloves"
says the woman. st shows a certain
stage of decentralization, and L am not
certain that the woman is exactly re-
sponsible for her actions; that is, if the
rips have not come unawares. Occa-
sionally thread in the glove will have
broken and will pull out after a woman
leaves home, leaving rip for which
she is not responsible. But you can tel
that at a glance. The victim is self
conscious. You can see the evidence
of the rip first in her face; the attempt
to look unconscious tells the story in q
moment. l wouldn't trust a won an who
goes out with q rip in her gloves in cold
blood, for | wouldn't trust myself in a
ripped glove, anyway. 1t gives me
such a feeling of decentralization that il
| was compelled to wear them, as | say
| hardly feel that | should be morally
responsible for my actions. FIX

For Fifteen-Year-OldS

A charming little white organdie
gown made for d young woman of if
teen was simplicity itself. 1t was worn
over q separate transparency of white
tsffeta. The skirt was gored to flare
considerably at the bottom and the
fullness was all gathered to the back OF
the wsistbsud. Around the bottom
there were four full ruches of the Or
candle edged with narrow cream valen-
ciendes.
The corsage was blouse with long
yoke of the tucked organdie edged
with three ruches arranged in scsllops.
Pointed epaulettes edged with the
ruching topped the long draped Slew
es. This gown was worn with q change
of bright ribbon sashes and collars.
Such novel little device for bright
ening up costumes 1 noticed in this
gown. There were several little strips
of plated taffeta, the same color as the
sash ribbon that could be hooked across
the yoke in an invisible way, the ruch-
es of course, hiding the stationary eye

HeIpinu About The House.
Youths Companion.


The helpfulness of good man, when
it comes to assistance in domestic af-
fairs, is apt to be very much like that
of Mr.. Barker whose exploit is narrat-
ed below:
His wife asked him to hang pict-
ure she had purchased for the parlor,
and he had said that he would do ii
sin jiffy."
"You must get me the cord and q
picture hook, - he said to his wife,
land tell the servant girl to run down
cellar and bring up the stepladder and
carry it into the parlor; and where's
those two little screw thing a-ma-jigs
that go into the back of the frame at
the sides to put the cord through?
Look them up for me: and | need the
gimlet to bore little hole for the
screws. Somebody get the gimlet, or
maybe l can drive them in with the
hammer. Johnny, you run down cell
lar and get the hammer.
81 don't know but chair will be bet
ter than the stepladder for me to stand
on. Somebody go into the kitchen
and get me q chair. L don't want to
stand on one of the parlOr chairs.
Got that cord? Just measure off
the length and fasten it ia those things
at the sides.
There, now, there's your picture,
all hung up in good shape, and 10 fuss
about it. The difference between us
men and you women is that when we
have anything to do we go right ahead
and do it, and make no talk about it.. p"
