The Gambling Races
at County Fairs.

The pnipteresting RACES at the fair
grounds the past week have demon
stratsd the oft-repeated remark that
they ARE all put up" This Is not true
of all, but OF many. The people pay
their money to see good, honestly con-
tested ana fairly judged races. it is
time the jockeys were stopped. 4 few
cheap fellows get together back in the
paddock and arrange the wianers-nS
the races and divide the pool. The ex-
pectant public, paying its good money
and patiently enduring the delays aud
the '1ookeying" on the track, wait for
the final word 'go," only TO see even
worse game Of jockey a. the alleged
contestants turn for the last quarter,
when the pulling begins, in order that
the agreed winner may get the lead.
This was evident during the fair. Il
may be so everywhere and doubtless is
but that doesn't argue in behalf o
toleration here. The sooner these peo

vile Mound.

Recent explorations made under the
direction OF Wilbur C. Mills, curator Of
the State Historical and Arcn9olog-
ical Society, of a large village site OF
the Mound Builders near Bourneville,
have brought to light most interesting
discoveries bearing upon tho life and
customs OF these strange people.
Mr.. Mills researches show that the
Mound Builders were as aristooratic in
their mode of Lying as those Of more
distinguished lineage, living in clans,
much after the Scottish fashion, each
family having its own burying ground
and pottery plant Moreover, the en-
tire continent was perfectly united into
what moderns call board OF trade.
Excavations tend to show that at some
time or other the Mound Builders were
visited by those Of other lands, for orna-
menfs fashioned from mica, ocean shells
and copper, have heen unesrthed, AND
all these are foreign to Ohio.
Thirty skeletons we're found by Mr.,
Mills, all buried In space not larger
than IS feet, while others, evidently
those OF warriors, were buried sep
arately. All kinds Of household inple
ments, froR tortoisa-shelled spoons te
glazed earthenware, rewarded the ef
forts Of the archsologists.

A woman who is both careless and
forgetful had been chided SO severely
for leaving trunks and bureau drawers
unlocked in boarding house that she
set herself to cultivate the habit OF
locking up. But what to do>wfth the
keys after she had locked up puzzled
her sorely. She had no pockets to put
them i'm and her purse was crammed
full of miscellany. She tried putting
them in the front of her corsage, but
they made an uncomfortable and un-
slightly bunch there. Then she took
to hiding them In out of the way places
about her room, but she always for
got where she had put them. and she
spent enough time in searching for
them to have written a book or per-
formed some other work of value to
the world. The other day she hit upon
what at first seemed to her an inspired
scheme. She put the keys with canny
prudence in her little brass teakettle
and then, lest she should forget where
she had hidden them, wrote note and
stuck 1t Oh her pincushion saying,
Keys are i'm the teakettle" York

Should Bachelors Marry 7

last week, in lepture before the
students of the University of Chicago,
Chancellor E. Benjamin Andrews, Of
the University of Nebraska, said:
.sBachelors are moral degenerates.
From them emanate most of the sin
and shame OF the world. They are
lacking In mental and physical poise.
The life of no individual Is complete un-
less he or she have life companion OF
the opposite sex. Providence intended
that men and women should marry.
The world was made for the family ana
not for the individual. The unmarried
individual of marriageable age has no
place in society or In the scheme OF tho
universe. Individuals who do not form
legal ties with the opposite sex will
form illegal ones. The world does not
want that kind of ties. Marriage Is q
good thing. The great men and women
OF the vOrid-the ones whose lives we're
symmetrical and whose works were
best for posterity-haEe been married.
Unjust Judgment destroys the force
OF honest opinion. Andrews Is right iu
saying that all men should marry; that

BALL BEARINGS
ON FREIGHT CARS
Train Loads May Be Doubled
and Hauled With the
Same Power.

Experiments are being conducted by
the Illinois Central with device that
may revolutionize the freight carrying
business. The experiments are being
made with box car, the trucks OF
which are fitted with ball-bearinR
journals, which make the car run so
easily that a single person can move it.
This feat was easily accomplished by
many people who were examining the
car as it stood in the yards. The bear
ing consists OF four races Of three-quar-
ter-inch balls. The latter are built to
take the thrust Of the car when going
around curve. There are 132 three
quarter-inch balls in each journal, each
of which will sustain crushing strain
OF 5000 pounds. The smaller balls
win sustain weight Of 5000 pounds.
The car in question was loaded with
so pounds of steel casting, and made
the trip to New Orleans, where IL
was loaded with coffee and returned to
Chicago. It is stated that the journals
have an average life OF seven years,
which is much longer than the journals
now in use. The most important ad-
vantage claimed for them is the great
ease with which they can be moved.
II practicable, train loads can easily be
doubled and hauled with the same
power now used. This would mean
great economy in operation.
