San Francisco. May IL. 1S?S.-The
gates at Ingleside have been closed for
a fortnight. and there remains only
two more weeks of racing at the Oak
land track TO end what has been the
most profitable season since continu-
Gus racing was inaugurated on the Pa
ciic coast. The word profitable is
used with special reference to the
stockholders in the two big California
tracks. for in many respects the game
has been a very disappointing one. es-
pecially To the small owners. many of
whom will close the season in debt.

Gent 10 move their horses to- Montana
or other points further east. where the
game will continue throughout the
summer and fall. until the chill of COM
ing winter again turns the turf world
toward this Mecca for inter racing.
The season just closing has been most
prolific in scandals. and there are scores
of lovers of square sport here who are
not silent in their opinions that the
smaller fry have been the victims of the
eagle eyes of those delegated to keep
the sport clean. while the big fish in
the racing pool hav escaped without
even a reprimand for incidents which.
had they been connected with the
horses or jockeys of more modest sta
bles, would nave resulted in the sever
est penalties TO the owner. or employers
thereof. 1t became maxim with many
at the Ingleside and Oakland tracks to
bet the Burns e. Waterhouse stake
entries at the latter and the Corrigan
entries at the former track" and those
who played the system did not quit
loser on that end of the game. There
are scores, too. who never put a dollar
on the best ones In the Corrigan horses
at less than ven money. and the form
charts show that their judgment was
most excellent. The in-and-out running
of some of the best nags i'm the Corrigan
stable during the season became "A by

word of warning from an official at the

seeming unjust discrimination that
thousands of people i'm this state have
become Indifferent to or soured against
the six months season. and there is
little doubt hat the question will come
before the next session of the legis-
lature, with a strong prospect Of a law
that will limit racing on any one track
in the state TO 30 to 40 days in each
year.

The Dial and The Critic the leading
eXponents OF literary criticism in Amer
lea, have made important changes. The
Dial has absorbed all that the Chap
Book once was without in any way los
ing the worth and dignity which has
made It so truly deserving of the kind
words that eminent literary men have
said OF 1t. The Gilders have evidently
gained something decisive from the ex-
pertinent with The Month, for The Critic
now appears as n monthly. 1t gives
indication that the change will be an
improvement, although II seemed to
satisfy very well in its old form.
The many friends and admirers of
The New Time will be glad to learn of
its rare good fortune. Mr.. II. ]. Mcbride,

Mr.. Walkers Literary Mystery.

BY means of the research conducted
by John Brisben Walker editor Of the
Cosmopolitan, after eighty-One years
evidence has been discovered which
throws entirely new light on the mys-
terry of Napoleon's autobiography. APP
parently there have been resting in
America all these years links which
would have connected the entire chain;
but no one thought Of crossing the At
lantic for them.
Never has text of document borne In
disputable proof of authenticity upon its
face than the memoirs Of Napoleon now
appearing in The Cosmopolitan. They
carry the stamp of mind so large that
no person of the period was great enough
to be seriously suspected Of having writ
ten them, although Madame de Stael and
others of the brightest wits Of the day
were in turn accused until, when style
and fitness were taken into consider
alton, the absurdity of the charge be-
came evident.
1t is a curious fact that never have
so many interests combined to throw
discredit upon any literary work. When
they surreptitiously appeared in Paris
in 1917, the publisher was thrown into
prison and the issue suppressed and de-
stroyed. The independent printing press
was then a feeble institution and the
monarchy was all-pervading in its influ-
enCe. They not only suppressed the
memoirs but found members of NapO-
Icons staff to discredit them and even
literary hack to confess to authorship
Yet here to-day comes testimony which

Trail Stories OF Frontier LIE.

OAVhAOS VI AAOuNANA h@AANs
Col. Henry Inman, in addition to an
established reputation as a historian OF
the early days in the territory which
now forms Kansas and adjoining States,
has preserved some extremely interest
ing and valuable information. Colonel
Inman is the historian of the trail. His
service in the United States army took
him over Kansas, Colorado and New
Mexico in the days when the white man
was a newcomer, the days Of the Indian
and the buffalo and the warfare of eX-
tinction waged against them. The thrill
ing days OF the pioneers of the great
West are gone forever, but the keen OBJ
servation and unfailing memory OF men
like Colonel Inman have turned them
into a literature worthy OF the deeds 1t
records.
In "Tales of the Trail" the reader
finds a collection of graphic tales OF
frontier life. Less than q quarter CEN
tury has sufficed to Obliterate the trail,
but the memory Of 1t seems as fresh to
the chronicler of these Tales as II his
experiences had happened as a part OF
the war with Spain. Added to Colonel
Inmans forty years of experience Is a
style peculiarly adapted to the telling OF
these stOries-it has a freshness and a
swing to it that carries the reader along
to an understanding Of the bravery OF
the Indian fighters, of the humor and
tragedy Of those days when the country
west of "the river" was broken up for
civilization. The tales are worth the
telling and retelling, and Colonel lnman
has told his WELL The brave fight OF
General Forsythe's men at the Aricka-
zee; the strange history Of El SolitariO,
the hermit priest who wandered along
the old Santa Fe trail from Council
Grove to lonely cave in the mountains
of New Mexico; the scourge Of an In
dian nation by smallpox, affOrding a
means by which a pale-face lover was
enabled to win his dusky sweetheart;
the pathetic passing Of the buffalo; the
crude but thorough justice Of Judge
Lynch's court at WhOOping Hollow;
these and similar stories are told as you
prefer to have them told.
Colonel Inman closes the book with an
argument that has attracted cOnsldera-
BILE attention. He advances the theory
that General Custer committed suicide
at the battle of the Little Big Horn, to
escape torture, and was not shot by
Rain-in-the-face, as the newspapers
have always had it. This statement has
been strongly disputed, but so far Colo
mel Inman seems easily to have the best
of the argument.
