Only three horses started In Thurs
days 21S trot, but it required half
dozen heats to decide the winner.
The sixth heat was by all odds the
most exciting of the day, and the three
trotters went the mile in a bunch.
There was not skip in the entire dis
lance and at no time was there more
than a lengths difference among the
trio. In previous heats, Brooklawn
and Celebrity had each won a couple
and Gale had beaten them all out in
the initial heat of the race. Gale
started out to take the sixth and he
chased the brown horse from Warren
all the way, with CELEBRITY on his heels.
Brooklawn, however, was too sure
footed and his long strides came down
the turf with clock-like regularity. He
won the heat by half a length
with Gale second and Celebrity
third. The purse was divided in the
same order.
Brooklawn won, and thereby hangs
tale. In the first three heats, the
big fellow was driven by George
Shoenberger his owner. He finished
second in the first heat and In the
second and third the big brown geld
ing, apparently, was never in the hunt.
The judges had reason to believe that
there was some crooked work brew
ing, and Brooklawn's driver was taken
out of the race. Afterl that George
Teare drew the ribbons over the
gamey trotter and he finished In front
each time. Teare was given $50 FOR
driving the horse.
There were eight horses in the 2:3C
trot but the race went ii straight heats
| to Deputize. Bermuda Maid made q
strong bid for first honors but the
best she could do was to land seconc
money. The Akron horses were un
| placed.
Nine racers were after the money Ii
the 219 pace. The first heat went t.
Belle $, owned by George Hartman, oi
Akron. rhe mare was as steady as q
clock and reeled off the mile in 2:10h
The next three heats were won by
Annie Rue in easy fashion. Belle
took second money, Sport third ant
! Mary Kelly fourth.
The races were witnessed by thou
sands Of people. The grand stant
was packed and the course was line(
on either side. Mr.. A. Bernard agnil
acted as starter and as usual gave uni
versal satisfaction. He was assisted
by DR.. l.. s. Ebrlght.

MAN NEVER SATISFIED.
The Perversity of Human Nature
Crops Out Even Under the Most
Advantageous Circumstances.

How true it is that what man cannot
get he desires most. From the little
lad of few summers, to the aged GEN
tleman of so years, there is no one to
whom this truth does not apply. The
boy sees a toy and he wants one like if
The world will never be right with him.
he thinks, until he has a jack-in- the box
like that of his playmate whom his
mother takes him to visit once in
awhile, and then it's glory fades, and he
must needs have set of blocks and
build houses with them. He builds
houses for a brief space, then sees
something else and wants that. Dresses
must soon give way to short trousers or
he will never be satisfied. He is finally
put into short trousers and for a few
days he is quite the proudest creature
in the household. But the pleasure he
gets in thinking what man he is soon
gives way to his desire to go to school:
that is followed by his anxiety to get
out of school and to college. But a few
years of college life, Notwithstanding
its freedom from care, and it's DELIGHT
full friendships, cannot keep away the
restlessress to get out into active life
and to become man of the world, taxi
ing part in its struggles and its
progress. And then ambitions of one
kind or another come to him and he
strives and strives in this direction or in
that until he has attained his desire.
But the attainment thereof does not
bring with it the happiness he had an
ticipated. He must become rich, or he
must make an artist, or physician, or
a literary man out of himself. But
when he has done so there seems to be
just as great distance as before be-
tween him and his long-pursued happi-
ness. And thus it goes the whole life
through, one thing following another,
and each one seeming 10 be the great
object of living, that upon which he
must center all his ehergies. This is
"divine unrest.",Detroit Free Press.

INDIVIDUALITY IN TASTE.
1t May BE Cultivated by Allowing the
Boys and Girls Their own
Rights and Corners.

Every girl ought to have a nook
which is her own, and in which she
can give full scope to her individual
tastes and views. This is boon
which is bestowed too seldom on the
young girl growing up at home.
When she becomes full-fedged
young lady, of course, she has more
liberty to arrange her surroundings
to suit herself, but even where the
daughters are grown women 1t is tre-
uuently found their mother regards
them as having no more right to an
opinion than when they were tots IN
bibs and pinafores, says the Pitts
burgh Press. Where girl grows up
under a rule like this it is almost in
variably the case that her views are
narrow. her originality crushed out OF
existence. and any will she may have
twisted into crooked ways. Nothing
in the world helps child 50 much,
bov or girl. as to have their own lit
tie corners, where they can feel the
blessed sense of ownership without
fear of reproof. If a gift is given to a
little oirl. she should be allowed to
Dlace it instead of having it added to
the general possessions OF the house.
Then as she grows older she will de-
velop and improve. and when she
takes possession of a home of her
own she will at once fall into her
proper position as mistress without
feeling lost in Il wilderness, as too
MANY Young brides do.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Various Articles of Furniture That
Are in Order for the summer
Season.

All sorts of pretty things are to be
found now for summer homes. The
wicker and bamboo furniture has
never been as attractive as 1t is this
wear. It comes in all colors and the
strands of the material can be seen
at the shops in a sufficient quantity
to give an idea of the shade, and the
furniture can then be ordered as de-
sired. Green, as always, is popular,
the prettiest pieces being not in the
solid green, but woven in geometrical
designs. The broad swinging seats
which are so delightful for the piazza
come in both wicker and bamboo.
Comfortable cushions for them are
made thin and rather hard, of straw,
and, covered with some OF the mex
pensive Chinese or eastern cottons,
they are most attractive, says the
New York Times.
Everything shows the growing
tendency of the American people to
spend much of their time in the open
air. Round tables of wood come with
large umbrellas raised from the CEN
ter to keep off stray rays OF sun in
taking tea on the lawn or to prevent
the invasion of insect intruders. These
tables are painted in pretty shades,
and the umbrellas are made to match,
or of white with bands of the color,
and are finished around the edge with
a deep fringe.
Screens of wicker have shelves and
pockets for work or books, and big
chairs of the same material have
shelves on the outside, where the
lounger can collect his or her belong
ings, to be reached without moving.
A pretty two-sided wicker settle,
similar in shape to those which are
so attractive around the fireplace in
winter, has a round table of wicker
rising from the corner where the two
sides join. These are all of green.
Broad wooden seats are divided in
half by a long, broad arm or table.
These wooden seats are painted in
any cool-looking color to suit the
taste, and when upholstered with
cushions for the back and seat are
as pretty as they are comfortable.
The hammock which is the most
popular this year, and which people
are already beginning to buy, is the
pulley hammock, though that may
not be the actual name for it. This
hammock has many advantages.
Across the center are several strips
of wood, which make it possible, by
dropping one end and raising the
other, to have comfortable loung-
ing chair. The hammock is very sim
ply constructed, and is regulated with
pulleys by the person occupying it.
One convenience which many women
will appreciate is the ease of getting
in and out. To get in and out of an
ordinary hammock with anything like
grace is almost an impossibility. The
hammock is strong, and is guaranteed
to carry 600 pounds.

wiped out, but it won't do ter risk it.
There'll be too many of 'em. I've got a
scheme I'm goin' ter spring on 'em.
Let's git back under cover an I'll tell
yet what it is
When they reached their rude shell
ter and lighted their pipes he outlined
his planas follows:
Upon sighting the party Rider was to
conceal himself in the woods near the
hut. Bowers himself was to remainin
| the hut on the boughs which served
him for bed, while Turner's part was
to meet the travellers and play the role
of "a decoy-
''They all know my phiz," said Bow
ers, IAN some O them knows Rider.
You are the only one they don't know.
OF course, Taylor will remember meet
in yer the other day when he,was goin'
in, an yer can tell him you've met a
chap as is shot himself by mistake, an
is almost dead. Ask one of 'em ter
come an see if there's any chance fer
him, or sumthin' like that. One of 'em
is sure ter come, an when he gifts in
side the shanty we kin hold him up
darned quick
But what about the rest of them %
asked Rider.
why, yer chump, when this one
don't come back it's ten ter one thet
another feller'll come lookin' arter
him, an We'll fix him too. Then if the
rest don't come We'll go out with our
guns all of a sudden an hold 'em up.
Wen take all thar guns an horses an
light out lively fer Dawson City.
They'll be sure we've gone ter Dyea an
we'll git off clean with the gold. It's
higher ter Dawson anyhow, then it is
ter Dyea. We kin git down by water
an then take ther steamer fer Seattle,
while they're lookin' fer us round Dyea
or Skaguay. See?"
Great head" said Turner, senten-
tiously, while even Rider began to be
impressed with the clever scheme. II
was also a great relief to know that
there was to be no bEoodshed, for, bad
as he was he had not the heart for such
deeds when he was sober.
After carefully discussing every
phase of their villainous plot and ar
ranging the details the trio stretched
themselves on their rude beds and were
soon Sleeping as soundly as though no
guilt rested on their minds.

1t was well for his plans that he did
keep a sharp lookout, for before night
he saw speck far ahead on the trail
which he knew at once to be man. He
was standing on the edge of piece of
woods, and his companions were behind
him at the time. Stepping in the shad-
ow of the trees, he explained:
'"Thar's a man comm, an I'll bet it's
one O. them we're after. He may hev
seen me, an it won't do fer us all ter
hide. He won't know you, Turner. You
keep on an pass ther time O. day with
him. Yer bound fer the fort, yer know.
Keep right on, an We'll hide till he's
out O. sight, then we'll overtake yer"
Turner at once walked ahead, while
his two companions secreted themselves
in the underbrush. They saw Turner
stop and converse with the stranger a
few moments, when the latter drew near
them, and Bowers whispered:
'It's the man they call Taylor! He's
goin' after hosses sure!"
All unconscious of the proximity of
the two men, Taylor tramped sturdily
on, and was soon out of hearing in the
woods. Then the two left their ambush
and hurried after Turner. who awaited
them far out on the plain.
"What did he say?" inquired Bowers,
eagerly.
asked me where was bound an
whether there was any hosses ter be got
in Dyea," said Turner. who never
seemed to waste a word.
81 knew it," declared Bowers. "Now
all we've got ter do is find a snug place
this side whar the trail splits an take
it easy till the dust is under our eyes.
He'll be back pretty quick if he gifts
any hosses an then we won't hev much
longer ter wait"
Several days later saw them securely
hidden in a piece of dense woods, but
each day was divided into watches,
when they took turns standing on SEN
tinel duty. From a knoll a short dis
tance from the hut they had built the
trail was visible for fully mile, and
from daylight to dark they watched it
closely.
Their patience was rewarded when,
late one afternoon, they saw Dick Tay-
lor riding along to the north, leading a
string of horses behind him.
"Our time is most up now," said Bow
ers, grimly. Hell fetch the mine by
to-morrer. Them two chaps with him
I've seen round Dyea. They're rich
chaps, I've heard. He's picked 'em up
an is goin' ter sell out"
''How many will there be of them?'

CHAPTER XVI.
ROBBED.

All unconscious of the snare, ahead of
them, the successful gold hunters rode
cheerfully along over the, trail, their
gold secured en- their animals and their
5ea~-s filled with natural Thanksgiving
at their success. They were rich-rich
beyond their widest hopes. and it had
all been done in few short weeks.
They had registered their claims in
Dyea. but there was considerable doubt
whether they were located in American
or British territory, as the boundary
line was not exactly known. This, how
ever, had been fairly explained TO the
purchasers. who declared their willing
ness 0 take the risk. This they could
well afford to Go, for they had bought
the claims for about one-quarter their
actual value, and were well aware OF
the TACT. They had only to register
them in Dawson also to make them
selves safe.

NOVELTY IN SHIRT WAISTS.
The Old MOnOtOny Has Entirely Dis.
appeared and New Ideas
Are In Order.

Never before have there been so
many and such attractive styles in
shirt waists as are evolved this season
to please and clothe the feminine
world. The old monotony in shirt
waists has entirely disappeared, and
there is simply no limit to the varia-
tions in design and decoration. There
is every conceivable kind and cOndi-
ton, from a simple cotton shirt to the
most elegant model in real lace. The
list includes tailor made styles for
golf, yachting, beach or mountain
wear en- suite, with simply made
skirts of shepherds check, squadron
serge cheviot, Scotch tweed, ETC., says
the Washington Star.
Smarter models for afternoon uses
are of dimity, India silk, peau de
sole, tucked India, null with wide
revers and sailor collar formed by
finer lingerie tucks and insertions of
Swiss embroidery. Demidress waists
to wear with skirts of white costume
cloth, yelling, gray and beige mohair,
eolienne or drap de chine are made
variously of plated taffeta, peau de
sole, liberty satin and foulard silk.
Lastly are the lovely creations for
dress uses which are called shirt
waists. but which are the most charm
ing things that appear among the inn
ported accessories of summer. Some
of them cost as much as complete
costumes. Lustrous satins and silks
are used in their composition, with
lace bolero fronts, silk embroideries,
lace and ribbon insertions, crepe de
chine or India silk scarfs and draper
les, to say nothing of expensive buck
les and buttons which complete some
of the smartest French models.

This feast which IsraeIites
celebrate all over the globe sets in TO-
night being the sixth day Of esivan. q
1t is called Feast Of Weeks because
it completes the seven weeks of har.
vest which began on the second day
of passover, (see Deut. 16, g. The
main object of the feast is to thank
God, for the greatest Of all gifts for
the sTen Words which He in His
great love revealed about this time to
the children of Israel; hence its name
is also called ~Seman mattan torosel-
nu" Time of giving our 1aw.)
The lessons which the feast teaches
the Israelite are; First, all the bless
ings of nature come from God. Thank
Him through an industrious life and
open your hand to the poor and needy
that they also may enjoy His gifts.
Second. God is the holy law giver.
We must prove worthy of His great
trust in shaping our conduct in ac-
cordance with His divine behests.
There will be service at the syno,
gogue at s o'clock tonight, and at 1O:SO
