OUTS WIN FROM BooKIES.
Race Track Hanxers-On Describe
How They Caught On to n
Good Thing.

"It was just like this, you see, me
and Mickey came to Chicago to be on
hand for the opening season of the
races at Washington park from De-
troit," said a short man with a sandy
mustache and wearing clothes that
had seen better days around race
track, who was standing near the grand
stand in Washington park the other
day talking to a tout who was going
to give him a good thing, relates the
Chronicle. when Mickey and | hit
the town we didn't have a cent, so we
had TO beg our chuck and banner money
from people on the street. The next
day we we're in for it good. No money,
didn't know anybody. only few touts,
who only had eating money for them
selves and had a good thing that would
win in a walk and the odds were big.
Mickey says: Pal. | tink | can get
a few bucks to bet on a good thing,
so he did How he got it | don't know.
but in three days after he got it we
walked out of the track with So. 500
in our pockets of the bookies' easy
money" That is the story overheard
by a man who was standing near the
two alleged touts who were telling OF
their good luck since the opening of the
Washington park track.

The national irrigation movement il
being pushed vigorously in all quarters.
Never before has such interest been
shown throughout the arid States on
this important subject. A recent
Sturgis, South Dakota, "special' says:
"Wesley A. Stuart, of this city, vice
president of the National Irrigation
Association for South Dakota, returned
from Omaha, where he met with J. +.
UT, secretary of the Omaha CONNER
cal Club. 1t has now been decided to
invite all western Congressman to a
banquet at Omaha on their way to Con-
gress at Washington. The Omaha
Commercial Club will do the enter
taining. AT this banquet something
definite will be done toward uniting
the Congressman upon a plan to put
through the irrigation bill, which is
destined to reclaim the arid regions of
the western States. The movement is
becoming widespread.o

BROKE THE NEWS SUDDENLY.
Comical Episode In the Meeting of
Long-Separated Brothers In
England.

A curious little story reached us
the other day from the lips of an
officer invalided home from South
Africa, says the Liverpool Post. The
eldest son of well-known duke had
younger brother in Ladysmith and
was naturally anxious and eager for
his safety. He himself was serving
with the forces of Gen. Butler and
was through all the long and arduous
campaign which preceded the relief
of that place. When it became known
that the road was at last open, the
young nobleman was sent forward
with the first forces to enter the
town. He soon found his brother.
whom his eyes had been yearning to
see for so many long and weary
months. "Hullo, jack" he shouted.
and then, in his excitement and pleas
ure, for the life of him he couldn't
think of what to say next. Al last he
blurted out with: "Old Tom, the
gardener. is dead" An anti-climax
which, in spite of the apparently
mournful character of the news,
caused both the brothers to roar with
laughter. Such was the first item
of home news which the younger one
heard after a sickening period of anx-
ious waiting.

National Aid to Irrigation of Great
Advantage.

If the leading business men of Colo
rado We're called together in conven-
tion and committee were appointed
to discover the things that would be
most advantageous TO our State and to
the interest of it's citizens, their report
would declare in favor of national aid
to irrigation and the opening up of
new markets for the agricultural and
mineral and manufacturing products
of the State.
The cultivation of the arid lands by
means of irrigation offers an almost
boundless field of possibility. The
character of the soil, the climate, and
the natural conditions are such as to
insure immense productiveness under
the most favorable conditions if only
the natural water supply can be used.
Contrary to a somewhat general be-
lief, the amount of water now used is
only a small fraction of the available
supply, and enough water runs to
waste every spring to irrigate many
times the amount of land that is culti-
waited even in those valleys where the
entire amount of summer supply is
used. But the utilization of this water
that is now being wasted, and the di-
version of water from some streams Of
abundant volume to distant areas of
land, are problems for which the re-
sources of private capital are INSULT
cient, even if it were not true, as it is,
that such enterprises cannot be under
taken under the best conditions by pri-
vate or corporate enterprise.
The irrigation of the arid lands of
ths West by means of long bitches and
large reservoirs is peculiarly field for
national aid. 1t is something that can
not be accomplished in any other way,
and it is also something that will be
immensely valuable to the entire coun-
try, so much so that the National Gov
ernment may use for that purpose
money raised by taxation with as much
propriety as for the Improvement of
the harbors along the sea coast. The
national lands are an asset of the ma
ton, and their improvement is an in
vestment that is certain to bring mag
nificent returns. COtorado Spring

After that few changes are made in the
real person. Slight variations and mod
ifications of opinion there NAV be. but
nothing deep or vital is likely to trans
form the life.
The common phrases, "a confirmed.
old bachelor" and "a confirmed old
maid, applied to unmarried men and
women over 40 are tacit admissions of
that fact. intimating that mental and
physical habits are so strongly rooted
that the adaptability of earlier years
