James Mcdonald, a prominent Tam
many man and one of the best-knoWn
horsemen in the city, was carried to
the Manhattan hospital, where he died
six hours later.
Mcdonald had taken a fast horse to
the speedway for a warming, and had
been challenged by friend to a test
of speed. The horses went along at a
furious pace. with the thousands of
spectators applauding the brush. Then,
with a mighty effort, McDonald's horse
took the bit and with a defiant toss of
his head shot to the front. Two blocks
ahead the speedway was impossible
to the flyers, and Mcdonald, realizing
this, stood up in his rig and, dropping
one rein, gave the other a mighty jerk.
He threw his horse, killing it, and
himself was pitched high into the air
and some twenty feet forward, falling
on the hard road. His skull was frac-
tured.

Members Of the board OF directors or n.
Texas division OF the Travellers Protect.
i've Association Of America have been noti-
fled by President Dieckmann through Sec.
rotary Ludlow thai they would be re.
moved should they fail to attend meetings
Of the board.
While 1t is desirable that all members
should attend these meetings, at the same
time President Dieckmann exceeds his au-
thority In the matter. The directors are
elected by the members OF the annual state
conventions, every Travellers Protective
Association member being permitted 10
vote. These same members elect the
president and secretary and treasurer.
None of these members so elected can be
removed without cause, and non attendance
at the meetings is not sufficient cause ac-
cording 10 our constitution.
President Dieckmann might pursue that
course in regard to committee chairmen
because they are appointed by him and
subject to the president and board OF d.
rectors, but TO remove a member of the
board with or without cause is not In his
power His power in the matter is limited
TO vote in the meeting OF the board, and
then, too, charges must be preferred and
presented in the regular way. 1t is to be
hoped that our president in his zeal for the
welfare of the association will kindly con-
slider our State constitution and bylaws at

Faith Cure and a Carbuncle,

Say l have an obtrusive carbuncle on my nose. 1 call in the Christian Scien. list, who administers "a high attenua- tion of truth" My belief in the carbun- cle disappears, and with it goes the car buncle, too, so far as l am concerned. It may be that look in the glass and perceive no carbuncle. The Christian Scientist takes her fee and leaves me. In comes my friend Brown and greets me with, Hello, old man, you have got a nose on you," or some such vul- gar and inconsiderate remark. endeav- or to assure him that he is mistaken and that the carbuncle is a creation of his diseased imagination. But Jones and Robinson speedily turn up and ao- cost me in similar terms, until my mind becomes impressed with an uneasy suspicion that all is not as it should be with my nose. The morbid delusion of my friends extends to me.
 l take up the glass again, and there, Fure enough, is the carbunole as large and angry as ever Under these oircum- stances it seems clear waste of money to pay a Christian Scientist to cure my carbuncle unless the fee is to include the treatment of the whole circle of my friends, and indeed of any one whom [ may meet by chance in the street, London Truth.

The Wolves Just Laughed.

Sitting in Thede Wyman's store, a little group of villagers in Sebeo, Me. |. talked of wolves, now seldom seen in Maine, but which half century ago were much in evidence. William Lyford told the story of Seth Browns chase of two wolves on snowshoes
 "You know Seth,' he said. cone of the smartest and handiest men in his day that ever cut timber trees or drove the Penobscot. Up in the Ripogenus re- zion one February he was out prospect ing for timber tracts. The snow was deep, with a light crust, just strong enough to hold up a man on snowshoes Coming upon a little rise of land in 8 timber swamp one day, he saw two wolves a little way ahead of him. The crust would not bear them, and they could only wallow along in the snow. Seth would tackle anything that ever ranged the woods. He had no gun, but he set out after the wolves with his ax. What did those wolves do but circle round until they got back upon Seth s tracks. You know how ill light snow the steps of 8 man in snowshoes will pack down the snow. Once the wolves got to Seth's tracks the slotes (snowshoe prints) held them up. and they just ran on them in circle till he gave up the chase. He was so near that he could all most have thrown his ax to them, and he couldn't get step nearer. Seth said the wolves sat on their haunches and laughed at him when he had to give up and start along. ''-New York Sun.
