The races in the city this week have
called forth many stories concerning
horses and their deeds and One Of the
best OF these was told by a woman who

himself to have at least "horse sense
and won the plaudits of the crowd that
had gathered to witnees the speedy.
itrotters and PAGERS. In one race some
accident occurred in the way OF two
sulkies colliding as curve in the track
was rounded and one Of the drivers was
thrown to the ground The horse scarce
ly paused, but went on with the race
and came to the wire close second. He
proved that he knew what he was
about, for after he had passed the
judges stand he wheeled around and
went back to his stall. Even the back
ers of the other horses had to cheer at
the exhibition Of pluck on the part Of
the driverless horse. who came so near

woman III the city who does not have
much faith in clubs. She is not an "old
fogy either. and her chief objection to

between the women who belong to the

instances this may be true. but it is
Very probable that the woman who is
consumed with club jealousy makes life
a burden for her family and her friends
The fraternal spirit which Is supposed
to exist in the clubs should drive all this
out and make the women nobler in their
womanhood, as well as more learned in
their studies. and in time it may do go.
But 1t is little wonder that the woman,

who has stayed out from matter Of

been invited to join, should feel as she
does; for not very long ago. woman

talking to her of a club which had en-

the club was doing. Now. the joke in
the matter lies in the fact that the club
criticised is recognized as doing the

SORROW broadens the sympathies and
gives much of charity to the one to
