to see the sport. Superintendent Fits
said that the ice was between SIX and

by the horses.
George w. Sabre, the we'll Known

is quite vet safe for the horses, and he
says that before ice racing was allowed
last winter the lakes coating was at

His horse stepped into water while get

animals that did the same, and he
warned some not 10 attempt to go on.
Mr.. Sabre suggested that some expe-

tion of the crust before further per-
mission is granted. However, a little
more cold weather Will put the question
beyond the reach of any argument.

The hen roosts at the little village of

robbed, and the colored population OF
New Memphis grew fat and looked
prosperous, until several farmers from

Sam Boyd, then of the First police

them:

Did Not Want Hor Lopsided.

Down in Mississippi not so very long
ago there was a young darby who
bore the classic name of Scipio and was
the happy possessor of two mules
which rejoiced in the appellations of
Sam Jones and Mary, and so dearly did
he cherish the brutes that one day
when he met girl named Mary he
fell in love with the dusky maiden for
no other reason, as he admitted, than
that she bore the same cognomen as
the off mule, and they decided to wed.
Scipio wanted to do the thing up right
and give the bride present, 50 he went
one day to the little country store, and.
after examining the entire stock, pur-
chased two hoopskirts and took them
back to the girl She was delighted,
but pretty soon she said:
look heah, Scipio, what furd' you
get two err desc hupes for?" So.
"Why. honey" responded scipio, II
didn' want'cher t. look lopsided."
'Whus' at? Lopsided? Humphl"

its drowsy horse and its dusty-eyed and
tranquil driver, seemed all suddenly to
awaken, to become animated and fleet.
The horse ceased to ruminate on his
state, his air Of reflection vanished. He /
became intent upon his gait and spread
his aged legs in quaint and ridiculous /
devices for speed. The driver, his eyes
shining, sat critically in his seat. He
watched each motion of this rafting
machine down before him. He re-
sembled an engineer He used the
whip with judgment and deliberation
as the engineer would have used coal
or oil The horse clacked swiftly upon
the nacadam, the wheels hummed, the
body Of the vehicle wheezed aud
groaned. .
Stimson, in the rear seat, was erect
in that impassive attitude that comes
sometimes to the furious man when
he is obliged to leave the battle
to others. Frequently, however, the
tempest in his breast came to his face and
he howled: $50 it-go it-you're gain
ing; pound i'm; thump the life out of
i'm; hit i'm hard, you fool" His hand
grasped the rod that supported the car
rage top, and it was clenched so that
the nails were family blue.
Ahead, that other carriage had been
flying with speed, as from realization
Of the menace in the rear. It bowledl
away rapidly, drawn by the eager
spirit of a young and modern horse. I
Stimson could see the buggy-top bob
bing, bobbing That little pane, like
an eye, was derision to him. Once he
leaned forward and bawled angry SEN
fences. He began to feel impotent;,
his whole expedition was the tottering
of an old man upon the trail of BIRDS
A sense of age made him choke again
with wrath. That other vehicle, that
was youth, with youths pace, it was
swift-aying with the hope of dreams.
He began to comprehend those two
children ahead of him, and he knew a.
sudden and strange awe, because he.
pursued the power Of their young blood,
the power to fly strongly into the
future and feel and hope again, even at
that time when his bones must be laid
in the earth.
The dust rose easily from the hot
road and stifed the nostrils Of Stimson.
The highway vanished far away in a
point with suggestion of intolerable
length. The other vehicle was becom-
ing so small that Stimson could no
longer see the derisive eye.
At last the hickman drew rein to his
horse and turned to look at Stimson.
mo use, I guess" he said. Stimson
made gesture of acquiescence, rage,
despair. AS the hackman turned his
dripping horse about, Stimson sank back
with the establishment and grief of a
man who has been defed by the universe.
He had been in a great perspiration
and now his bald head felt cool and I'M
comfortable. he put up his hand with
the sudden recollection that he had
forgotten his hat.
At last he made gesture. It meant
that at any rate he was not responsible.
