1T WAS WORTH A HUNDRED
The Owner Was a Poor Man and He
Needed the Money.

DO you remember that old Dutchman
that used to own the sprinter McBowIing
and that raced here in the west for 40
many years-Nick something or other was
his name?' asked one of the group says
the Chicago Chronicle in Told in the
Paddock"
They all nodded, but, strange to relate.
there was not one of them who could call
the last name of the once notorious Ger
man nor tell what had become of him.
he having dropped completely out of
sight
We'll, you all knew him anyhow" con-
tinued the questioner, land a rum old case
he was too. Colonel Clark says that one
day old Nick had McBowling entered in a
race down at Louisville for which he was
the hottest sort Of a favorite Just as he
should have been, when the betting OPEN
ed, but later on he went back a point or
two-a fact that caused the colonel to look
upon the race with something of suspic-
ion. Later on, and just as the horses
were going to the post, the colonel re-
ceived telegram from a gentleman in
Cincinnati stating that he had positive
proof that Nick had agreed to pull Nc
Bowling for $500, or 500 more than the
first money in the purse that was to be
run for amounted to.
Acting on this information, the colonel
substituted another jockey for the one on
McBowling, with instructions to ride the
horse out to the last ounce, and as result
McBowling won in race-horse fashion. At
ter the race Colonel Clark called McBowl-
ing's owner into the stand and after a
short talk Informed him that he had in
his possession positive proof that he, the
owner, had agreed to pull McBowling and
advised that a clean breast be made of the
matter. After scratching his head for a
moment old Nick, looking askance at the
pompous man before him, said:
well, you see, colonel it vas yust like
dis If mine boss vnned den 1 only cot
me four hundert tollar, und if mine boss
lose den l got me five hundert tollar
Now, l vas a poor man und vot could
do-vot would you dor?
1.-THE colonel was so surprised at the ex-
hibit of nerve and assurance on old Nick s
part that he nearly fell backward out of
the judges stand, but when he recovered
he fixed matters in such a way that it
was several years before the colors of
that particular stable were seen again on
a western race track"

WHITE DAMSON PLUMS.
Only One Man in the World Has This
Fine Plum.

Nearly so years ago General Adair, the
noted horticultuist of Hawesville, KY,
attended an exhibition at Louisville.
There he met Lawrence Young, an en-
thusiast from Jefferson county, who had
on exhibition what he termed white
damson plum. General Adair had never
heard of the variety before and was anx-
ious for some of the trees. Mr.. Young
promised to send him some, but for some
reason failed to do SO. About 20 years
ago the general made another effort but
learned that Young had died. A few
years later Major Haines of Louisville
visited in Hawesville and told General
Adair that he knew the Young farm, but
that no such plum had ever grown upon
it; but he promised to examine all the
surrounding farms and see if he could
find the desired fruit. About 10 years
ago Major Taylor found some small plum
sprouts in an abandoned fence corner
near the Young farm anu sent them tC
Adair, who planted them and improved
them. He has been rewarded by pro
ducing fine milk white damson, sweet as
sugar, and about four times as large al
the old blue damson. This new plum
never decays, but dries up like a raisin
and never falls from the tree. They have
been known to keep in house for two
years. General Adair is the only mar
in the world who has this fine plum
and he has only few trees. Judge Johr
Adair is going to plant 5oOO OF the trees

FACTS IN REGARD TO AMBER
Ii Is IA Fossil Gum and Is Mined on
the shores of the Baltic.

Amber is the fossilized gum of the pine
tree of ancient days, which by the action
of the sea and wind was converted into
the material we see nowadays. The use
of amber is very old, for we find it men
toned in the bible. Amber burns cas-
lily, sending up black smoke and Civ
ing forth fragrance. Rubbed on ones
hand it gives forth smell of camphor
and eucalyptus. This rubbing is good
test of the genuineness OF amber.
Flies and insects are often found in am
Der and scientists have classified any
number of lizards, ants, beetles, moths
and fragments of wood which otherwise
we should have never known about. The
wonder is that the insects are preserved
so perfectly and completely. If fly
slights in syrup every one knows that its
struggles to get free usually result in the
Generalization of the insect, but evil
IDENTITY the pine gum did it's work instan-
taneously.
The town of Konigsberg, on the Baltic,
is in the center of the amber industry.
Where the Baltic now washes there was
once dry land, covered with waving
pines, which the salt water finally reach
ed. The pine sunk below the sea, the
soil ate up the woody matter and the
pine gum, instead of decaying, mummi-
fled into amber. Once the Prussian
government issued licenses and any one
might 60 amber hunting. The income
was very large and finally the business
all consolidated in the hands of one firm,
which now employs some 1000 people. 1t
has its own railway and the colony OF
workers is self supporting. The amber
hunters dredge until they find blue loan,
which signifies amber in the vicinity.
Then a tunnel is run out from shore and
regular mining proceeds. In some places
the coast is network of burrows.
The reason small amber articles. such
as pins and brooches, are so cheap, and
larger pieces, such as cigar holders and
pipes, so expensive is that most amber is
full of cracks and it is hard to get a
large piece quite perfect.
