The Meadowbrook Steeple Chase Asso-
citation of New York will hold its third an
nual cross-country races at Mr.. William
c. Whitney's private track, which he has
recently had built on his country place in
such a location as to permit his invalid
wife to view the races from the window of
her room. Mr.. Whitney built the six-fur-
long track especially for Mrs. Whitney's $
amusement and he is now having golf
links laid out on his grounds so that she
can rest easily in her couch and watch
the merry golfers at play.
Despite the rumors that Mrs. Whitney
has steadily failed since she was brought
10 her Westbury home from Bar Harbor,
her physicians take a cheerful view of
her present condition and ultimate recov-
cry.

OUR STORED UP POWER.
MT. staybolt Considers Man as Built Upon
Compartment Plan.


"Man is, as one might say, said Mr..
Staybolt, "built in series of compart-
ments, though he may not know this
fact at the outset, and he may indeed
go through life and die without know
ing it, taking with him unused stocks
of ability and strength that he had
never known he possessed, simply be-
cause they were never brought into
play. AS to what will bring their quail
tiles into play men differ. There are
some few men who command them.
selves, and some who open at touch,
and then there are many who respond
only to the most urgent call. But there
are few men who cannot in some way
be moved to action.
"This brings me, for illustration, to
brief consideration of the personal
quality commonly denominated as sand,
of which, l imagine, most of us possess
far more than we suspect, for there are
few men who finally run away-mighty
few who will not stand up and fight
when they feel that they are really call
ed upon. But our sand is in compart-
ments, and most Of us, fancy, open
only one and make that last through
life, and we die without knowing how
brave we are unless some great occa-
sion, independent Of ourselves, opens
another compartment and shows US
what we really have in reserve. l might
add that there are few if any revela-
| tions that come to US in life that give
us greater pleasure or more enlarge our
horizon.
N"The moral of all this is that in our
good qualities we should trust ourselves
without hesitation. There are qualities,
which will easily suggest themselves,
| which it would be better to leave un-
used, better for ourselves and for every
body else if the compartments contain
ing them Were never opened, but as to
such qualities as pluck, endurance, en-.
ergy, capacity and moral strength we
should call upon ourselves freely. We
should not take down with us, as other
wise we are almost certain to do, stores
of these valuable qualities untouched,
but rather we should draw upon then
now and constantly and confidently, ant
so doing we shall be gratified with ou1
constant growth in strength and mor'
than gratified with the attending sub
stantial rewards. New York Sun.

Richter signaled to the orchestra to play

Major Tom Williams some time ago
told me the story of one of Colonel Glib
Wright's adventures in South Carolina
in the closing months of the war.
1t seems that General Fitzpatrick, the
Federal cavalry commander, had cap
tured a number of Confederates, and
Wright was anxious to rescue them. He
called for volunteers to go with him
into the elemy's camp at night and
picked out the men he needed from
those who responded.
The Federal troopers were snoozing
quietly in their camp and on both sides
of the road leading to it, and their pris-
oners dozed by fire near the center.
Just how they got there would be
hard to explain, but shortly after mid
night Glib Wright, at the head of few
men, rode at gentle pace into the camp.
The drowsy Federals took them for a
party of their own men returning from
q scout and paid no attention to them.
Everything was working smoothly until
one of the prisoners caught glimpse OF
the newcomers The fellow lost his head
and ruined the whole business. He leap
ed to his feet and looked into the faces
of the advancing Confederates.
"Horray, boys' he shouted in his
delirious delight. Hang me, if there
amt old Glib Wright and his crowd.
burned if the whole Confederate army
amt right behind him!'
The prisoners all rushed forward with
the regular rebel yell, and the sleeping
Federals suddenly became very wide
awake. From every side they showered
bullets ON their visitors, and Wright
and his men had almost miraculous
deliverance. Several were killed and
wounded, but the leader and the ma.
jority of the party managed to gel
away.-Atlanta Constitution.

A SELFISH SHAH.
The High Prices OF Persian Lamb Capes
Accounted For.

The High Prices Of Persian Lamb Capes
Accounted For.
The shah of Persia may be only in
the 80 class in matters OF diplomacy
and he does not dare exactly to slap
Queen Victoria or Kaiser Wilhelm on
the back when the potentates chance to
meet, but, so far as matters in Persia
are concerned, when the shah makes q
law it is generally enforced to the letter.
A case in point may be cited in the
matter of Persian lambskin. Persian
lambskins are and have long been an
article of staple demand in the COM
mercial world. They have commanded
such good prices that the supply was
hardly equal to the demand. Conse-
ouently, when the shah one day ordered
spring lamb with mint sauce, the cook
was obliged to confess that the dish was
beyond the command of the Persian
treasury OF course the cook was
promptly beheaded, but the shah could
not find another cook who would agree
TO furnish spring lamb whenever his
majesty desired to indulge in that deli
cacy.
This naturally irritated the shah.
After consulting with three or four OF
his most trusted advisers, who could see
no way out of the difficulty and who
consequently disappeared from their
homes and society in a mysterious man.
ner, the shah finally decided that the
commerce of Persia was threatened by
the extinction Of Persian sheep and Per
sian lambs. Consequently he made
decree that any person found with lamb
skins in his possession for purposes o.
trade or commerce would be fined heav
lily. Since then the export trade in Per
sian lambskins has stopped with
blunt and nauseating jar.-Boston Ad
