Happy. Though Miserable.

casually. Mr.. Vanderbilt's expression
expanded into slow, full smile.

'The other day at dinner ran across
an old bore Of fellow, who expressed
the most ardent ambition to have a
ride in my racer. AS I didn't take any
notice Of his hints, my gentleman de-
liberately asked to be allowed to have
a ride, to which had to consent, as he
was friend Of the family, you know.

a quiet little gait, taking care not to
increase the speed gradually, as OF
course he would not then have felt it..
but Just when he was in the midst of
an ecstatic eulogy on the calm, even
floating motion of automobiling,' l
turned on full speed and let the thing
fly. He clung to his seat with his two
hands, his eyes fairly shining and
bulging with fear and excitement.
How do you like it?' asked as the
wind whirled his hat Off. 'Wh-hy,' he
stammered between his gasps for
breath, my lad. I've just solved the
problem OF how to be happy though
miserable! THE Motor World.

The scorching summer had passed.

the wastes of brown sage grass,
where the prairie chickens 1uttered
from every knoll, and the sharp, in

frost-laden air.
There was a vague hint of uneasi-
ness among the men and cattle. Twice.
there had been a barely averted STAN
pede, and the cause-there lay the crux
of the matter.
You have heard, how in the first
days of the Alaho, it was owned by an
Englishman who set his traditions At
naught, and took to wife the daugh-
ter of Jose, the Mexican, whose ranch
lay to the south, touching the Alaho
for miles? Then you have also heard
the tale of the glass-eyed broncho, who
galloped from the Red death. straight
into the cyclones heart?
Many years have come and gone
since then. The black-eyed Nita sleeps
in the old Spanish cemetery where the
white trail Of the mesa ends; and the
Englishman has gone to his own place
oversee.
In the old hacienda, young Jose
reigns in the old mans stead; but
when the autumn comes, and the Dark
Gods ride over the mountain crest and
mesa, men say that the glass-eyed
broncho gallops out to the West-woe
to the herd. and woe to the man that
meets him along the ride, for death

John had laughed much and argued
more, but against a dead wall of
shrugs, and sullenness that grew with
each day.
The cattle had been restless and un-
easy for days, the men not much bet
ter. No longer at dusk, the songs rang
up from the corral, for the rumor had
gone among them:

SENATOR GRINDELAND has made
an enviabe record as a legislator,
and it is gratifying to his friends to
see his name frequently mentioned in
connection with the nomination for
congress next year. The Minneapo-
lis Journal in a review of the con-
gressional situation, as affected by
the re-districting OF the state, speaks
Of the ninth district as follows:
In the new ninth district Senator
Grlndeland seems at this distance
almost certain to be the republican
nominee. The new primary law did
more for him than it did for Judge
Morris. There is nobody who thinks
Grindeland could be nominated in a
delegate convention. In such a fight
s. G. ComstOck, OF Moorhead, would
probably win. But in a primary
election Grindeland is believed to be
thousands of votes stronger than
any other republican in the district.
TO begin with, he is. a very promi-
nent and active Lutheran, which will
give him practically the solid vote of
that church. This will be almost
enough to nominate.- In the next
place, his name is connected with
some OF the most popular laws OF re-
cent Legislative sessions. The com
mission law, which he fathered, has
done more for the upper counties OF
his district than any one bit OF state
legislation enacted for years. These
counties for years were at the mercy
OF the commission men and sold
goods at a bare profit, frequently at
a loss. Under the Grindeland law
they are making money.
1t is thought that s. G. Comstock
will come into the race against Grin
deland; but opinion in Washington
does not credit him at present with
enough strength to come within
hailing distance OF victory,

Birmingham Lost.

Memphis. Tenn, June 2.-(Special)- Before a crowd of over 5000 people, a mass of enthusiastic spectators that packed the grand stand and bleachers at Red Elm and over1owed in hundreds on the grass and kopJe. the Memphis team again sent the Birmingham Red Jackets down to terrible defeat. The Frankfurters began to hit the ball from the start and when the last round was ended the score stood 14 to f. The Bluff City ball tossers took three out of the series of four games.
 Millett was on the slab for the visitors, and the way the boys in white and red walloped the ball was a sight to see. Out of the eighteen hits gotten off him seven were two seekers and two were triples. Both of the two station hits were lined out by Martin, who threw In a hot single for good measure. Swacina got double and single, McKevitt a double and Bussy distinguished himself by getting two doubles and two singles.
 Beecher took the rooters breath away by mailing one of Milletts slants for two-bagger, and later by getting safe one to first, and Shields did the same. The Frankfurters had on their hitting at
  tire
 Shields pitched a steady game for Mem- phis and allowed Birmingham only nine safe hits well scattered striking out six men. The fielding of the Memphis team showed marked improvement. Handiboe and Shaumeyer made the sensational catches of the day. In the fourth Mills sent hard straight drive head high down the left alley and Handiboe froze to it without moving an inch. In the fifth Leidy swatted out a drive down between second and third that smoked as 1t went but Shaumeyer was there and reached up with his south mitt and gathered it in.
