This Little Bay Has X-Kay Eyes
(Atlauta News, Feb. d.

Guy Fenloy, the fourteen year old
boy with the X ray eyes, is creating
big stir amo"g the st"ckmen Of
West Texas. The boy, Nth his re-,
markable pair of eyes, can see water
at any depth in the ground, and has
located large number Of wells, each
having an unfailing supply of water,
on ranches in that semi arid section
of the state. His services are in
such de and by rachmen, who want
to put down wells for their livestock,
that he is kept busy at that work ali
the time. This boy is the son Of
Joel @. Fenley, highly respected
citizen of Uvalde, Tex, who is exten-
sively engaged in raising livestock.
The fact that his son was possessed
Of x ray sight was discovered about
four years ago. He only has this
power of looking far into the depth
of the earth at night, and the darker
it is the better he can SEQ. On the
night that his wonderful gift was
discovered, The boy and father were
walking through pasture of ranch
near Uvalde, when Guy exclaimed:
"Look at that stream of waterp
His father replied that there was
no water to be seen in that locality 4,
but the boy insisted that he coull
see flowing stream of clear water
far down in the ground. Upon
reaching home the experiment was
| made of bncketful of water being
| set under a tuble, aud the boy could
| seq it plainly through the wooden
top OF the table, when the room was
darkened. Soon after this Mr.. Fen
10y determined to put down a stock

son with him o.e night, The latter

below the surface. The we'll was
sunk on the spot indicated by the
boy, and one of tho finest flows OF
water ever obtained in that section
up to that time, was struck at q
depth Of 1877 feet.
News of the boys wonderful pow
or of sight began to spread about
among the ranchmen, but it was
slow to be believed, and it was no
until about a year ago that further
practical tests were made Of his x

a iiuntlrtd YcRrs Ago.

Men couldn't steam across the sea
A hundred years ago,
And money wasn't all they thought
Worth having here below;
Nv cy had no elevators then
70 hoist them through the air,
And yet they thought, the poor old
guys,
That they were wonderful and wise,
Aud that the world was fair
Men couldn't talk by telephone
y hundred years ago;
They sowcd and rcapcd and thrashed
by hand,
And when the streams were low
They had to stop the mills and wait
For Gods good rain TO fall,
And yet they proudly won't about
With heads held high and chests
pushed out,
Aud thought they knew 1t all.
Their battle ships were made of wood
hundred years ago,
And oh, the weak old ways they had
For laying people low;
They had no lightning trains on which
TO fit athwart tho scene,
And yet those poor benighted men
Supposed that things were perfect then.
Alas! bu. they were green!
Men had to load each timo they shot
A hundred years ago,
And then, alas! they had no gas
TO light things here below!
There were no trolley cars to dodge,
No horscless things to tame,
Aud yet, poor fools, they thought that
they
Had all the blessings, In their day,
That men might ever claim!
But they had pessimists around
A hundred years ago,
Who mourned because their sons could

Obtain proper show.
And they predicted dire things

They fancled that the devil then
Worked overtime in urging men

DAY OF GOOD SPORT WITH ONLY
Two FAVORITES SHOWING FIRST

overlooked in the fifth, a mile and a
sixteenth race, he was forced to stand
slightly in the rear of Sylvan Lass. as
far as the betting was concerned. The
Lass was an even money horse, while
Jim Hale went to the post at to 5.
There was nothing to the race. from the
fall of the flag to the turn into the
real race began and the way Jim Hale
ate up the favorlte was shocking. He
won easily with plenty of daylight be-
tween him and the Lass. who was sec
ond. good distance in front of Domsie.
at II to l. The time was 1:4S1s. Silver
Coin, Major King and Mission also ran,
What happened to Donna Belle, the 4
to favorite. in the sixth. can be briefly
told. She ran third. The race was at
five and one-half furlongs and went to
Phil Archibald with the Limb-of-t the
Law the rank outsider, at 80 to l. sec
cnd. The time was $40. Cushion, Louise
Chapman and Justus Goebel also ran.
The last race. the hurdle handicap. at
mile and an eighth, furnished the
greatest excitement of the day. Thomas
Carey fell at the second jump and
sprained a tendon and Dare II vent
down in a heap at the last jump. The
race was won by Rainier at to l. and
who was not regarded as contender.
Ace, at to !, was second. and Sam
Green. the to 10 favorite, was third.

Oscar Gardner Retires for Good.

From Frisco comes the report that Os-
car Gardiner has decided to quit the
ring for good. The decision is due MAIN
ly to the crippled condition Of the hands
of the clever Omaha Kid and his recent
defeat at the hands Of Young Corbett
in Denver The step is one which Gar
diner had long been advised to take and,
had it come about a year ago, as his
friends wanted, it would have been bet
ter for the Kid. He has been a game,
hard and clever fighter and it is a Won
der how he stood it so we'll and SO long.
The business of fighting three and some
times four times a week is too much
for any man and that is shown when
a fighter, with the marvellous stamina
and recuperative powers of Gardiner
breaks down. ii

Again the Talent Goes Down at the
Track-Ten Mile Race a Feature at
the Saucer-Boxing Sure at the
Saucer-Gossip of a Gen
eral Character

The talent was full of hope again yes
terday and enjoyed the usual sweet
dreams that come to the drug tiends but
only for an interval. There was an
awakening, rude awakening and when
the pipe went out the talent was aware
of the fact. that out of the seven favor
ties backed to win, only two came home
with the money. 1t was tn same old
story of guessing and guessing wrong.
The unexpected happened and served to
clinch the fact that horse racing is an
uncertain game. Wild tips were in the
main responsible for the selecting of the
horses to carry the money and how the
elect let their good judgment slip
and backed horses, without a license to
win, Is hard to understand.
For instance, Auriffera was thought
too good for Bill Bohmanson and Sylvan
Lass was expected to beat out the old
reliable Jim Hale. Form should have
told all that neither was probability
and yet the supposed wise ones bought
sailed mines ana lost their money
One favorite was ticket cashier before
this report closed for the afternoon and
one delivered the coin afterwards. The
first was MontanuS in the trot at pro-
hibitive odds, and the second was Water
scratch, at even money. Bill Bohman-
son dumped the money layers by walk
ing home, six lengths to the good, in the
second race.
Gil Summers Waterscratch carried
the bulk of the money in the third race

Good Racing at the Saucer.

and the card was voted the best yet seen
in Butte. There We're two professional
races, one handicap and the other an

and clever exhibition of trick riding,
by Ed Baisden. The races We're all spir-
tied, even the trial heats being hotly
contested. The trick riding was up to
the standard of Bais6.en's work and

One of the most amusing things
ever seen in Parkersburg was 4sPapais
Baby, given at the Auditorium last
night says the Parkersburg State
Journal. 1t may be said to be a
laughing absurdity and pleased the
audience present from start to finish.
There Is practically no plot to the
production, but the thread Is suffi-
cient upon which to string much good
music, many bright sayings AMI lot
Of ludicrous and startling situations.
The company giving the piece Is al
excellent one, nearly every member OF
it being good singer.
Harry Watson rs tPeter Rhine
beckn a rich brewer, was inimitable
while Mr.. Edwards, Miss Hutchins,
Miss Lulu Nichols and all the rest
were all good p their respective
parts.
The acrobatlc act OF Redcay, Duffin
and Redcay, was about the best ever
seen here, either in a circus or any
where else. 1t was novelty, the
leaps and summersaults In midair,
being wonderful.

If President Roosevelt by this

Youngest on the stage.

Redcay, Ddfiin and ~Redcay, the
acrobatic trio who are such feature
OF Fred f. Wrights big production
of the new musical comedy, "Papa's
Baby, are said TO be the youngest
performers in their line on the stage.
The oldest of the three is but TWEEN
ty years Of age, and the youngest
only small boy. That is, he was .
small boy year ago, when the act
which is now creating such sensa-
ton because Of its novelty and dar-
ing. was first attempted Since the
feat was perfected and given to the
public the infant has grown to be a
very "husky lad" overlapping his
seniors in height, If not in weight.
As Consequence interest is added
to the performance, owing to the
manner in which this big youngster
is tossed about by his smaller COM
panions. In preparing for the APP
pearance with "Papa's Baby" it was
found necessary to secure new and
stronger set of apparatus to bear
the added weight. The famous trio
will be seen at Opera House ON
Thursday Oct II.
