D.: TWO STYLES OF TRAINING
McHenry and Geers Are Exponent
- ."-E.-. of Different Systems. -.

IN. E: McHenry is going slow with his
horses, and in marked contrast to the
work of some of the trotting and pacing
cracks is that of Dan Patch, his fastest
miles SO far being around the 2:3o mark.
The brown horse. however, has been sent
along some for halves and quarters, and
the, Indications are that he will be just
a bout ready to step real fast miles when
his racing season opens. --f =
If the son of Joe Patchen goes out and
makes a consistent campaign and Shadow
Chimes fails to do so, then the public
will conclude that McHenry's method of
training is best, but if the reverse proves
to be the case, then Geers' plan of, giving
his horses early fast miles will be ap-
proved. AS a matter of fact, however,
conditions regarding which the public may
know nothing may effect the early racing
career of one or both horses, and thus
lead to wrong conclusions. Then too,
both horses may race consistently all
through the season, result that would
indicate that under the charge of a com
petent trainer either method of prepara-
ton may be used successfully.

Mount Mckinley the Highest Point on

Word has Just been received from
Mr.. Alfred II. Brooks, geologist In
charge of the work of exploration
which the United States geological sur

party has successfully crossed the Be
luga river. This party recently landed
In southern Alaska, and expects to
penetrate the region in the vicinity OF
Mount Mckinley as far as the Tanana
river. whence they will proceed to
Circle City and the Forty mile district,
II the season Is not too far advanced,
or will descend the Yukon river, of
which the Tannna is the principal trib-
utary on the south, if it is too late to
go further north. Much of the region
through which they will pass is entire,
ly unknown, and the Beluga river Is
supposed to be the greatest obstacle
to progress Mr.. Brooks reports that
with the aid of boat he safely swan
his entire outfit over this stream. He
also reports that their first view of
Mount Mckinley was had from Mount
Sushitna, distance of 125 miles.

DO 1T YOURSELF, MY BOY!
Wise Words for Younger Generate"
to Ponder Over.

Why do you ask the teacher or SOM
classmate to solve that hard problem
Do it yourself. You might as well let

1t is in studying as In eating: he
that does 1t gets the benefit. not he
that sees 1t done. In almost any
school | would give more for what
the teacher learns than for what the
best pupil learns, simply because the
teacher is compelled to solve all the
hard problems and answer the diff
cult questions for the lazy boys.
Do not ask the teacher to parse all
the difficult words, or to assist you in
the performance of any of your duties.
Do 1t yourself Do not ask for even
hint from anybody. Try again.
Every trial increases your ability
and you will finally succeed by dint
of the very wisdom and strength
gained in this effort. even If at first
the problem is far beyond your skill.
1t is the study and not the answer
that really rewards your pains.
Look at that boy who has succeeded
after six hours, perhaps of hard study.
How his eye is lit up with proud
joy as he marches to his class.
He recites like a conqueror, and
well he may. His poor. weak school
mate. who gave up that same problem
after the first faint trial. now looks
upon him with something of wonder

They will never stand together as
equals again.
The hoy that did it for himself hes

others do it has lost both strength
and courage, and is already looking
for some excuse to give up both school

creasing rapidly. The prize, which
was contributed by the employing
printers OF Omaha, was $160.50 cash
and was won by Ed. J. Hamilton of
WilsOnville. Neb. The money form
ing the special semi-monthly prizes Is
made up of gold, silver, nickel, copper
and paper money. and then divided
and put into two sacks without be-
ing counted. Mr.. Hamilton's guess
was $13333. which was the closest
to the amount s132.54-in the larger
OF the two sacks.
August l the Commercial prize,
contributed by members of the Omaha
Commercial club, will we awarded to
the person guessing the closest to the
amount in the larger of the two sacks
into which 1t has been divided. Each
special prize is not less than $50. nor
more than $500, and under the plan
adopted there is absolutely no one
who can tell what amount Is in the
larger sack until after it is unsealed.
Aside from the special semimonthly
prizes, however. there is a great
deal of interest being taken in
the Auditorium stock contest.
This could hardly fail to be the
case when there are 1901 prizes
hung up. headed with the $4,000
cash prize given by the Defiance
Starch Co. of Omaha, and the
stock tickets are only twenty-five
cents. or course only one person will
win the $1,000. and only one person
will win $500 house and lot in
Omaha. but 999 other persons will
also win prizes, every one OF which
will be worth many times the price
OF a guess. Persons securing tickets

prize.
