American Style of Racing

How about the American style of rac- ing?"
 "There can be doubt as to the superiority of the American style. Every person knows that the long strides made by a horse are accomplished by his hind quarters and the American style of seat throws the weight forward, where the horse is best able to carry 1t, and leaves his hindquarters free for propulsion"
 What differences do I find between the English and American turf?"
 Well, there is no doubt that the English turf is managed and conducted on a much higher plane than the American racing tracks are. The turf is as much a national institution in some ways as the Church of England or the House of Commons The jockey club is as honorable a body as the House of Lords or the Bank of England. Racing is a pastime rather than a busi- ness"

FROM HENRY ulNe's ASHES.

In the death of Henry Filing, of vir-
ginia City, Montana loses another mag
ni6cent personality and a pioneer almost
as well known as any mar who came to
the state in early days. After a hard
struggle for a number of years he ac-
quired a toe hold on the future and fin
ally became one of the leading bankers
of the state. Mr.. Filing had banking
interests in Helena, Bozeman, Livings-
ton and Red Lodge in addition to his
home bank in Virginia City.
Mr.. Filing was n helper of young
men. His death will be a serious han
dicap to n large number Of young men
who Owe much of their presentprosper-
ity and future prospects to him. Mr..
Filing did not assist young men in the
way that one would give charity. lie
was a sagacious inancicr and he helped
the boys to think and look ahead, and
in many instances he advanced the mo-
ncy Ia them along these lines.
Henry Filing set an example which
might be followed by other rich men
with profit TO themselves in the long
II and advantage TO the common
wealth. Many a bright man has, as the
Irishman says, gone tothed ivil entoir-
ely, through the lack of a helping
hand when he needed il, and many a
good girls heart broken. A little help,
not necessarily money. extended at the
right time would have made a good cit
izcn of many a man who now wears
striped clothes and walks with a lock-
step. Poverty and drink are the great
est breeders of crime in our civilization.
They 20 hand in hand. They are twins.
Dives. lend n hand to make leaders of
men. II thou Scest n young man whom
thou thinkest is made of the right sort
of stuff, speak to him cheerily, take
him by the ripper and let him under
stand that you have been there yourself.
Don't be afraid that he'll strike youfor
a FLYER. Hes the wrong stuff if he
does, If he is the right sort of thing
he'd rather go hungry as long as he
could stand up than ask any man for a
cent. If his clothes are a little thread
bare, don't mind that if his linen is
clean and his shoes show acquaintance
with the backing brush. The latter
always show the gentleman under the
worn suit. You will not have To ask
that sort Of a boyifhc has adark brown
taste in his mouth in the morning. You
can tell that a cumulative jag and all
night frulics are strangers to him by
his bright eye and his firm, quick step.
Dives, the more men OF ability and pro-
Spcrity there are IN "A community the
hrttcr it Is for all. Henry Filing saw
this truth, concluded it was a good
thing and pushed /, along in a quiet
way. The state needs leaders of men
rs well as men who follow.
