Lexington, Ky, October 11.-Oxford Boy won the 2-year-old trotting futurity after a hard struggle with Grace Eldred.

 Lady Babbie. you know, was all comedy. The men liked her. but Lois in Sweet Clover is a role liked better by women. A man loves to laugh; a woman prefers emotional roles. I like you as Lady Bobbie,"' women tell me, but as Lois. love you

The Lady Robbie" and "Lols" of the Stage In Private Life--Her WlnsoFne Tenderness and Her Admiration for Things Southern.
BY ANNIE KENDRIck WALKER.

To hear Adelaide Thurston speak in her rich, cordial voice of the South and of Southern people is to love tffe South bet ter. If one did not know that she was Northern girl, that her father had been among the men who wore the blue one might think that Miss Thurston was Southern. She is so keenfy sympathetic, so kindly in her attitude to the South, that the Southern people who meet her can not but feel that she is sincere, that it is not mere acting, when Miss Thurston refers to her fondness for the people Of the South. t'
 Almost the first thing that she said to me yesterday when she received me In her apartments at the Morris was some thing about the South.
 Generosity In Atlanta.
 had spoken of her generosity in At lanta where, she recently gave benefit performance for the Confederate soldiers who were made homeless by the burning of Georgias Home for Old Soldiers.
 She seemed to forget herself at once and her exquisite eyes kindled with tenderness.
 She was recalling the old soidlers whose trembling hands she had so recent ly touched.
 My father. you know. was in the fed- eral army, and 1t seemed all the more strange that l. his daughter, should be giving benefit performance for the old soldiers of the Confederacy. But l felt that he would be proud to know Of It, and I wrote him all about 1t. I have his answer today"
 From her mail she drew forth an opened letter and read several lines.
 My father" she continued, said some thing so beautiful to me once that l cannot ever forget 1t. In speaking of the sectional feeling existing between the North and the South he said that even nature was teaching us to forget 1t.
 ''The old ruins in the South were being covered with ivy and the wounds, too, | would yet be healed as the moss was covering the ruins.'
 Then she chatted little of her own career.

TO A DOG POISONER,

When Ronnie, a terrier owned by
Rev. DR.. A. A. Murphy, pastor of the
Second Presbyterian church, New
Brunswick, N. j., was some time ago
prisoned by a unknown person, the
pastor, who is bachelor, wrote the
following open letter to the poisoner:

fear that l should despise you more

dog never harmed you or any other
creature, human or brute. Had you
come here he would have greeted you
warmly. Why did you do it? Be
sides, if it had to be done, why not
use chloroform? Why use that ter
rible poison that gave him two hours
of agony before he passed away, but
which he bore like the little hero that
he was? If there be dogs heaven
and who shall say that there is not
the brave, honest, affectionate little
fellow is there, for he was just as
good as it is possible for brute to
be; while you are - still on earth.
Repent, sir, for as sure as the God
who created men and dogs is right
eous, shall He hold you responsible
for such an unwarrantable, cruel, evil
deed. | say this without any idea of
vengeance, for have nothing but pity
for such as you. No more shall ne
accompany me in my rambles, nor
when left at home run to meet me
with an ecstasy of delight on my re-
turn! Yet, much as l shall miss my
little friend, and he did comfort me
in my loneliness, I would rather be
the subject of his loss with the last
lick of his tongue on my hand and the
glance of his dying but loving eye in
my memory than be you, with the
consciousness of your bad, black
deed in your heart. In memory of
Ronnie."

and painful struggle. The Italian
hadn't been in the United States long
and Pat experienced considerable
difficulty in making himself under
stood. When the negotiations were
closed the Irishman disappeared. He
returned in few minutes and handed
the Italian $500, the purchase price.
The new owner mounted the box,
clucked to the horse and drove half a
square. Then he thought he would
try his luck. He got down, grasped
the handle Of the crank and began to
turn. The result was medley.
Soon large crowd gathered and Pat
was greeted with an intemingling Of
Kisses, jeors and cheers. 1t finally
dawned upon him that he knew SO
little about music that he couldn't
even keep street piano time.
After consulting the printed pro
gram the Irishman announced that
the tune was There'll Be a Hot Time
in the Old Town Tonight.
Just then an alarm of fire wa,
sounded at the engine house across
the street. Pat noticed that his horse
was restless and appeared impatient
to start. He jumped upon the box
AS he did so fire engine dashed out
and started up Jefferson street. Pats
new charge was after it in an instant.
The Irishmans cries were in vain, the
horse would not stop. Passers-by
stopped and looked upon the strange
race. The piano swayed from side "a
side; sometimes in the street car
tracks, the next minute in the gutter.
When the fire engine reached
Fourth avenue the driver heard the
out whistle and he drew his horses
to walk. Pats stopped suddenly
and the ditch digger returned to his
old business.
When he gathered himself up he
mournfully turned the beasts head
climbed upon the box and started
down the street. At Sixth he met the
Italian. There was another confer
ence and at it's conclusion OLeary
received 500 and the Italian was
again the owner Of the street piano.
And the Italian never explained
that his horse was trained for the fire
service and ran at every alarm

A DANGEROUS ACCOMPLISHMENT

There dwells near me a little kid
That's learnin' how to talk
He tries to do as he is bid
An does his best to walk.
An if | thought that he'd receive
Advice, I'd give him some,
And that would be to make believe
That he was deaf and dumb.
I'd tell him to quit practicing
His "ah goo by the hour;
To smile an never do a thing
But blossom like a flower.
I'd show to him how often men
Go slidin' down luck's hill
By simply sayin' somthing when
They ought to have KEEP still.
It's kind o. hard, when you have tried
To steer Alright your bark
To see your fragile hopes collide
Agin some fool remark

Nor try to rise above
My present state, but be content
To live. an laugh, an love.

o'LEARYs MUSICAL CAREER.
He Bought a Music Box Drawn by a
Former Fire Horse.

Patrick O'Leary owned a street
piano for Is minutes. and he crowded
more experience and excitement into
that short space than falls to the lot
of the average man in a lifetime.
OLeary has spent most of the last
10 years in a ditch with pick and
shovel. The Italian with a street
piano, drawn by horse, often passed
his way and the INDECENT life of the
street musician possessed a strong
fascination for them.
Monday night the Irishman came
upon the Italian at Seventh and Jeffer-
son streets. He arrived just as the
last notes of The Wearing of the
Green were sounded and it seemed TO
him that people fairly fell over one
another to contribute pennies and
nickles to the musician.

O'Leary to himself. 'T'll buy the

me-"
He did, but it was only after long

TOURISTS RETURN FROM
A VISIT TO SWEDEN

Miss Sophie Tholl, Miss Emma Bjoren
and Miss Christine Johnson, prominent
members of the Mulberry Street Bap-
fist Church, have returned from trip
to Sweden, and attended the services
at the church yesterday, where they
were warmly welcomed on all sides.
They reported a very pleasant trip and
that they were in the best of health.
Miss Tholl left for Sweden just one
year ago, primarily to pay her parents
a visit whom she had not seen for
many years. Miss Tholl has spent the
most part of her time at the home of
her parents in the province of VERNE
land but she has also Travelled around
the country and seen all the historical
places.
The thing that impressed itself the
most in the mind of Miss Tholl was the
singing Of the birds in the forests,
which are numerous on the outskirts
of nearly every town In Sweden. Miss
Tholl states that the warbling Of these
birds is a treat that cannot be fully
understood by any one but those that
are fortunate enough to hear 1t.
Miss Bjoren and Miss Johnson have
been in the old country since early In
the spring Both went to pay a visit
to the old folks but they also travelled
around the country. During her travels
Miss Bjoren accidentally met Rev. G.
W. Anderson, pastor Of the church, and
party, who We're then travelling In
Sweden. They were coming from diff
ferent parts of the country but both
had to change cars at Arboga, in the
province Of WESTWARD, and 1t was
while waiting for their respective
trains that they met.
