in which he has ,campaigned the Inflated
Traverser, Boney Boy and Robert waddaIl,
not to mention the so-called Guttenburg
hero Blitzen, has asked that he be set
right before the press of the country, ard
with his request comes the announcement
that he owns a fye-year- by Aloha
dam Virgie, a three-year-old by the same
sire, out of the same dam, and two-year-
old, also by Aloha. out of Virgie, all of
which are full brothers or sisters to Rob-
ert Waddell. These equine relations to
the American Derby winner of last year
have never faced the starter. and on top
of his request Bradley announces the per-
manent retirement of Robert Waddell. who
has developed symptoms of lameness in the
shoulder which necessitated his with
drawal from the Chicago tracks last au-
tumn.
II never like to talk too much for pub

but l have been raked over the fire so
constantly in recent years that 1 would
like for the world to know that l have a
two-year-old sister, three-yea r-old sis-

The five-year-old maiden. brother to Wad-

he will start this member of "Waddell''
confederacy first at the Benning spring
meeting. Besides these knsmen of Robert
Waddell Bradley also owns twelve two
year-olds which will be carried to the Chi
cago races and campaigned for purses and
stakes
He Will begin the season at Benning and
will then invade the west. Boney Boy will
not be shelved alongside Robert Waddell,
but will be sent over the jumps. Bradley
thinks that Boney Boy will make a good
timber topper, and will race him until he
proves that purses are not destined to fall
his way.
Bradley will shortly leave Memphis for
Hot Springs, where he will rest for a
month prior to taking up his entire stable
in preparation for the Benning meeting
Il am tired of being roasted by sensational
people who know more about my business

CIDER DRINKING.
How Apple Juice Has Declined I'm
Popular Favor.

From the New York Tribune
Has cider as beverage sunk into desue-
tude, even in the land of its birth, the coun-
try? Has the prevalence of beer and ale
and cheap domestic wines driven out the
luscious juice Of the apple? The farmers
are beginning to whisper much. About
the only use it is put to now, they declare,
is the making of vinegar. Yet the older
genera ton. especially those who spent
their early days in the lanes and fields of
the countryside. will tell one that for the
lesser ills to which the flesh is heir moth
ing can equal the tonic and invigorating
qualities of cider, pressed by hand, from
selected apples and stored away in great,
clean barrels of earthenware jugs to
"ripen" against the winters cold and snow.
/ One who was brought up on cider in his
country home heard of these rumors, and
in aasPirit of skepticism made inquiries
among the restaurants and wholesale liquor
houses in Rochester which lies almost in
the heart of the great apple growing dis
triet of the world. Invariably the reply
was: I'VE haven't got any on hand now
and don't keep it in stock. If you are will
Ing to wait We can get some for you in a
few days" He says things weren't that
way ten years ago.
1t must not be inferred from this that
the making and drinking of cider have be-
come obsolete. By no means. In a days
trip on a bicycle over any road in one of
the lake shore counties in the late fall one
could find a score of presses dripping with
the fragrant juice of clean apples. Perhaps
he might run by few large mills, where
immense presses are pushed together by
hydraulic or steam power. and whose out
put can be measured by the hundreds of
barrels a day. Huge tanks receive the flood
until they froth and boil with the juice. But
the apples used are not selected fruit"
and the product is known only as vinegar
stock" If is clarified with pumice stone
powder and rectified in drawing off, in or
der that the vinegar may be as pure as
possible. But when considered purely as
cider, the liquid is open to criticism.

HAS A DUBIOUS TRANSFORMATION.
The Arolou becomes Another Animal
In Certain LooaIItIsa.

The AEoloti becomes Another Anlmai
Ia Certain Localities.
Naturalists have long been familiar
with 4 newt-llke creature. breathing
by giiis and lungs both. and inhabit-
ing the lakes OF Mexico and other Am
erican waters. This is the axolotl. II
was also discovered that In certain
localities this creature. which by the
way breeds freely in Mexico, sheds It's
skin. casts OF It's gills and its tail
I'm, develops another color Of body and
leaves the water TO become a land
newt. Under this latter guise II Is
known MS the amblystoma.
Naturally, the explanation Of this
curious transformation rests on the
fact that the axolotl Is really tho
young or tadpole stage OF the amply
stomR form, but the popularity hero
is that In les first stage II should
breed and multiply and continue to
reproduce axolotls. as II II were a per-
fectly mature animal. The occurrence
OF such cases polnta out 10 as ono
way In which species can be evolved.
for, had we not been acquainted with
the relationship OF these forms, no.
body would have hesltated TO des-
crlbo them as two essentially distinct
animals.
Lately II has been shown, says the
London Chronicle, that, while In Colo
RADIO and Dakota the transformation
is complete, In Mexico tho axolotl
stage is apparently permanent. Here.
probably, the influence OF environ
ment on a living being is typically
llluatrated.
