Burch won the heat, and Col. Clark finished in the bunch.
 'sThen the Dwyers cut loose and bet world of money on Bradford to win the race. sent for Rye and told him.
 ssHe went away, and in a short time returned and said: George, if you win this race you will have more money than you ever dreamed about. and we will take trip around the world
 Back to the post we went and were off in a jiffy, and, in driving finish, l landed Colonel Clark neck in front of Bradford.
 "Then there were all kinds of excite ment and about the worst one of the lot was Rye He rushed to where the horse was being cooled out and asked the trainer how he was doing, and was told that bottle of whisky was need ed. Rye rushed to the bar and yelled for the finest whisky in the house. and received a quart bottle of booze that was strong enough 10 kill half dozen men. They poured it down the horses throat, and in a few moments he was E being saddled for the deciding heat.
 .sThen came the fun. The horse had the funniest kind of look on his face, and he reared and kicked so that it was with great difficulty that I got in the saddle.
 ..Finally we got him out on the track and then he didn't want to go to the post. They pulled and tugged at him so he finally got to the starting point. When he got there he just leaned against the fence like tired man and wouldn't move.
 ssStarter Caldwell roared at me like a maddened bull: Whats the matter with you, Withers? Get that horse to going
 sssI'm doing my best replied.
 "sJim,' said Caldwell, addressing his assistant, Polo Jim, get that horse to going and then another tugging match resulted, but Clark was getting boozier than ever. Then Jim and the other assistant got alongside of the :! horse and pushed, running along with him at the same time, and as soon as i he got in front of the starter down went the flag. Rurch, of course, went away running, and my nag did not know what he wanted to do. He tried to run for part of the way. Then he began to throw his legs around, up in the air and fairly stagger from one l side of the track to the other. He cer- tainly was good and drunk. got sec ond money, of course, but what a bunch of money I would have landed if they had put half water in that bot tie instead of a full quart of high-proof booze. I got considerable as it was, and Rye got on an awful tear and al- most died after being sick long while in New York city,"

COLONEL HAD A JAG.
One of Former Jockey Withers' Ex-
 periences on the Track.
Hia Mount Was 500 to I, Had Heat to His Credit, Hut Trainer Was Over-Anxious and Got Him
 Dead Drunk.

George Withers, who was at one time one of the leading jockeys of the coun- try, and is now in charge of Joe Yea gers breeding farm at Atlantic, la, called at the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune office before leaving for the west.
 The conversation drifted to the time when he was in the saddle, and he was asked if he had ever ridden doped horse.
 'sDope,' said Withers, twas an un- known quantity in my time, but did ride a drunken horse once, and il was funny, and, must say, expensive ex- perience for me.
 Tt happened in the sos. I was wired to come to Pimlico, as the race track near Baltimore was called, to ride horse by the name of Bob Cook, which was owned by George M. Rye. Rye was one of the characters of the turf at that time, and Bob Cook was pretty fair sort of a horse. 1 missed train connections and arrived too late to ride the horse for the particular race that I was wanted for. But 1 picked up a mount on a horse called Col Clark, that was entered in a heat race. Burch was an overwhelming favorite for the race, and my mount was 10o-to-1 shot. The Dwyer brothers had a horse in the race by the name of Bradford, and he was ridden bF Jimmy McLaugh- lin.
 ''Well, we went to the post for the first heat and Burch got a running start, and just trailed along with the Colonel. Right in front of me was Me Laughlin with the Dwyer trick. As we neared the stretch I thought I would feel my horse out, and the way he closed up surprised me. McLaugh- lin let out link on his, too, but from what I saw I felt that held him safe.

THE WORD PLEASE. ?
Tn England It Is Considered a Back number and a Word for sery-
 aufa Only

An American just returned from two years residence in England was recently speaking of the different treatment accorded the word please" there and here. ''In England please is a servants word solely; here gentle folk use it as we'll" said the Ameri- can, and when the other Americans said that they, having travelled them selves, knew that as we'll as she did, she added: "Yes, but you don't real ize it until you've tried to bring up children abroad. At home my young sters had always been taught to say 'please.' In England I soon found out that they must not say it; if they did 1t stamped them as under-bred. Now that we've returned to America the old school conservatives look askance at my children and observe senten- siously: Those little girls don't say ''please."' But sooner or later all parents in this country will follow suit and please will become back num- Der, just as a good many years ago .ma'am' and sir became back num- bers'

Paleface to Wed the Brave Daughtex of Famous Apache Chief-Loye Makes a Maine Man Dis-
 card Shirts.

Lola, daughter of Geronimo, chief of the Apaches, and most savage foe the North American white race has even met, is betrothed to Houston, son of Shanghai Ward, a famous and in- placa ble .old-time Texas Indian fighter.
 Houston Ward and Lola Geronimo met on the border line separating Ok Iahoma, where the man had his cattle ranges, from Indian Territory, where the girl had her home. They danced and rode together, and the girl fell in love with the man. But he knew It not.
 One hot afternoon last fall Ward slipped off his pony, staked it to mesquite bush, and fell asleep under shady bone tree. The girl was riding the range, too, and with her keen In dian eyes from great distance oil she saw him dismount from his pony and lie down to sleep. She halted her pony and stood moedily contemplating the place where lay the man whom fate seemed to have denied her until her pony's restlessness made her turn.

The fire gained and the girl took her feet out of the stirrups preparatory to jump off. "He can't carry us both,'' she explained. simply. Ward put his arms around her. 'No. l love you" he said, "and never knew before that such love as yours existed. It doesn't among white women"

 PARIS GREEN AND LADY BUGS.
The Technical and Learned Decision of a Kentucky Judge in a Curte
 ous Damage Case.

Judge Sterling B. Toney, of the cir cult court of Jefferson county, Ken. lucky, recently rendered an opinion in curious case, says the New Y York Trib- une. A man was employed last July to sprinkle paris green on potato vines to kill lady bugs, and on account of the heat he opened his shirt with the re- suit that he was poisoned by the paris green. He sued his employer, who en- tered a demurrer to the petition, and the learned judge sustained the de- murrer for the following reasons. The plaintiff had no right in foro con scientiae or in foro externo to make an indecent exposure of his person while killing lady bugs: the plaintiff exceeded the scope of his employment in sprinkling paris green elsewhere than on the potato vines, his special and exclusive agency was to kill lady bugs basking in the shade of said po- tota vines; the plaintiffs act in allow ing the defendants paris green to come in contact with his flesh, instead of with the flesh of the ladybugs, was un- authorized and ultra wires; the mental and physical suffering of which the plaintiff complains was the result of his own wrong in misapplying the de- fendant's paris green to purposes oth- CT than those for which he was em- ployed to apply it, and, besides, in damnum absque iniuria; the plaintiff, in opening his clothes and exposing himself to the lady bugs and the paris green, was guilty of contributory neg ligence; the plaintiff knew as well as the defendant that paris green was poisonous, and, if he did not know that paris green was poison, then this suit should not have been brought in his name, but by committee appoint ed to represent him.

FULL-BLooD INDIAN BABIES.
There Are But Few Coming Into Ex- istence and the Number IS
 Decreasing.

b The present generation of full blooded Indian babies is interesting from many points of view. In the first place, says the Cosmopolitan, there is no doubt that in a few years there will be no more full-blooded h. 6ians born, as men and women of pure Indian blood are rapidly marry ing either white persons or Indians whose blood is largely mixed with that of the whites. Then, too, these little copper-brown babies are some thing of an anachronism, for many of them preserve, to a great extent, the brin ging up and training known to their fathers, and at the age of 13 or fl find themselves we'll versed in the charms and incantations of the medicine men and expert in the use of the scalping knife, but with la- mentable lack of subjects upon whom to practice their skill. Moreover, these -blooded children inherit, in many cases, large sums from the sale of lands to the government, or own saluable reservation property, so that many of them have more suitors than Penelope. It is only on the reser- Eations of the far southwest that the curious little Indian babies are to be found. There are now among the 90 tribes only 5000 full-blooded h. dian children. In these same tribes there are more than 20,O0O children through whose veins courses a stain of white blood. They are healthy, fat youngsters, and, despite their rough < nsage, grow up to be strong men and | women

SPEED OF FIRE LADD1Es.
Erroneous Tdeas Regarding the Time Required to Get Ready for
 Actual Service.

People who reach the scene of a fire about the time the alarm is sounded are frequently heard to complain of the length of time re- quired for the engines to get into operation. It is nothing unusual for excited spectators to say the en- zines were 30 minutes late. The records of the department, however, show that such statements cannot possibly be true. Chief Dutton is having regular weekly drills and the time made by the companies on each run is proof that most of the com plaints are groundless. It is shown by the records that the average time employed in getting the horses har- messed is eight seconds, and 20 sec onds is the average time required to get to the street, says the Chi cago Chronicle.
 The best time made during the re- cent drills was recorded by No. chemical company, when the animals were ready to start from the house in six seconds. It required Il sec onds to get the three horses of Truck D ready to make a start. The trucks are. somewhat longer than the engines and more time is required for the animals to get into posi- ton.
 Probably the best time on record was made by Truck A company the lay of President McKinley's first in- auguration, when members of three New York departments, who were there as spectators, found the horses ready to leave the house in six sec onds from the first stroke of the

French .Bird Stories.

Two bird stories come from France. According to Le Figaro a canary breeder named Bourez is going to raise red canaries by feeding the parent birds on cayenne pepper of an orange .ed tint. French poachers are making pig hauls of cartridges and other game Dy using automobiles with nets and a bright light. They run the automo- piles at a swift pace along the public roads, and the birds, attracted by the tight, fly into the nets. There seems to De no violation of existing game laws u the practice.

my Efe.'' she answered. But they beat the fire to the river by an eyelash, and the marriage will take place soon.
 One of the most extraordinary of the many marvellous things accomplished by love was the regeneration of Syl- vester Cole, of Somerset county, Maine, into man.
 Cole was a human being of the male gender, who preferred to dress as woman, act as a woman, and pass as woman. For Is years the Somerset county farmers had supposed he was a rather ugly and gawky female, fitted to do homework on farm. He never kept a place long, hardly ever com manded more than living wages and. was not popu-ar with the young men of the neighborhood. Neither were the young men popular with him.
 Last autumn Cole, known as Mag gie,'' got position of maid-of-all-work in a farmhouse al Vassalboro in Ken nebec county. The farmer was wid- ower, and he was forced also to hire as cook pretty girl by the nameof Geor- giana Bernard, IS years old. Cole was smitten by the charms of Georgiana, anu SuG was SlId4SC1J ldhCA WILL Maggie Finally Cole confessed that he was not woman, told Miss Bernard he was in love with her, and would like to marry her. He asked, however, that she consent to his living as wom- an for few months longer, as he did not like to make the change too suden- ly. She assented.
 The marriage of the strange pair was celebrated last week by a justice of the peace in Somerset county. Cole gave his ageas3 and his occupation as +housemaid."
 He explains that his actions had been out of difference to strange and ec- centric uncle, who was a member of the Standard Oil company, and who died six years ago. Cole did not get much from his uncle for wrecking his life, for he was barely keeping alive by working as a kitchen drudge nearly half his lifetime If he had not hap pened to fall in love he would prob ably never have quit, either.
 Seasiclxness.
 A veteran sea captain has this to say as to how seasickness affects women: 'sThey suffer more general 1y than men, but they don't make such fuss about it. A man goes to bed, where he passes the time groan- ing and swearing until he is able to come on deck again. A woman fights the malady until she can fight no longer. Then she becomes quickly mandlin and pathetic. Almost in- variably she asks three questions: Do people die of seasiclnes?' How far are we from shore?' How long before we shall land? When man is good and sick he doesn't care when he is going to land-rather hopes that the ship will go down, in fact"

BRUNSWICK CASE
IS BEING HEARD
COMMISSION TO LOOK
INTO LOCAL SWITCHING
QUESTION,
Delegation from This City Is In At
-
Ianta to Present the Ship
s pers' Size of the
Question.

a case will be argued before the
slase Railroad Commission i'm At
lanta today, in which Brunswick s
shipping interest is vitally interested.
1t seems that recently both the
Southern Railway and the Plant Sys-
tenn nave enacted new regulations as
regards switching charges at Bruins
wick, wnereby shippers are compelled
to pay s5 per car for loaded material
side-tracked or switched by the trans
portation companies.
To this rule the wholesale dealers
and manufacturers of Brunswick
have taken exceptions aud have asked
the railroad commission of the state
to investigate the matter and say
whether or not the railroads have the
arbitrary power OF fixing these
charges
1t is pointed out that the operation
OF this new rule works hardship on
the manufacturing interests Of Bruins
wick as ne old Charge of 81 per car
made ample provision for these trans
fer charges and it seems rather be
yond reason that the shippers should
pay so in excess of this charge for
the additional service
Messrs. c. d. Ogg and r. IL. Sizer,
Of this city will appear before the
commission today in the interest Of
the Brunswick shippers, and the re.
suit Of the hearing win be awaited
with interest by the Brunswick deal
ers.

Where a New Mill is
To BE Built.

b. p. Gray, the well known lumber
man Of Pine Bloom, has been in the
city for several days and while here
purchased all of the old machinery
formerly used in the Crispen mills
and recently purchased by Captain
w. r. Townsend.
The material was shipped to Pine
Bloom yesterday, and in this con
nection it may be of interest to say
that Mr.. Gray will at. once build
new saw mill at or very near Pine
Bloom
lie new mill will be one of the
most approved in this section of tne
country and will be supplied with
the very best character of machin-
cry.
MIR. Gray's firm is among the larg-
9st lumber people in Georgia, and as
lheir output is largely shipped through
Brunswick, the new mill will in a
measure be a feeder to the lumber in
erests of this city
Mr.. Gray will return to his nome
today, and the actual work on the
mill will commence at once.
