many friends were delighted to
learn of his success in this con-
test, which was taken part in by
the best riders in the west They
will also be glad TO know that he
won the championship fairly, not
withstanding the false and un-
substantiated charges of some of
the Denver papers, doubtless eg
ged on by the defeated contest
ants, that he was not entitled to
the prize. The accusation that
Sowder pulled leather"-in 9th
er words, that he grabbed the
horn of his saddle with his hands
to keep himself from falling from
his horse when the animal was
pitching violently, is entirely
without foundation in fact. The
writer of this article witnessed
Sowder's exhibition of riding, and
he can state most emphatically
that the charge that he ''pul-
led leather" is absolutely untrue.

The Worst Form

Multitudes are singing the praises of
kodol the new discovery which is
making so many sick people well and
weak people strong by digestsng what
they eat, by cleansing and sweetening
the stomach, and by transforming the
food into the kind of pure, r'ich, red
blood that makes you feel good all
over. Mrs. Trantil, of Troy, Indian
Territory. writes: "For number of
years | was troubled with indigestion
and dyspepsia, which grew into the
worst form Finally l was induced to
use Kodol and after using four bottles

Indigestion is often caused by over
eating. An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use Of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don'tover-
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need . good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food with
out the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dieting unneces-

The evenings are growing longer every
tWenty-four hours and there Is growing
demand for entertainment for the mo-
ments between dinner and bedtime, if the
correspondence of T h J o U r n shows
which way the wind blows. Amusements
for groups of young people who gather for
informal sociability seem to be as scarce
as they are desirable, although the clever
young women adapts an old game to the
present time and makes 1t a new pleasure.
A pingpong set is perhaps, as good an
investment as one can make and it can be
bought from $3.50 up. The game is just
as popular this winter as last with the ad-
vantage that most people have really
learned to play and the skill with which
balls are served and placed brings more
excitement into the sport. Jerusalem
ping pong is as jolly an adaptation of
the game as one can imagine and as many
can play it as can stand around the table.
The server returns the ball and drops his
bat which is caught up by the next
player in line, who takes his place and en-
deavors to return the ball. AS soon as a
player has struck at a ball he drops the
bat which is seized excitedly by the next
one. If player fails to hit ball or re-
turn it over the net he leaves the line
and joins the ranks Of spectators. AS
the number of players grows smaller until
only two are left, the excitement becomes
intense for one serves ball from one side
of the table and then rushes frantically
around to the other side to return it.
The one who plays the longest of course
wins the game. It is adapted from the
old play Of "Going to Jerusalem" which
everybody enjoyed in his childhood.
A clever young woman gave a left
handed ping pong tournament the other
evening. Partners were drawn as for a

tying up plants strands of raffia and for
stakes slender bamboo rods. and these
are much better than home made expedi-
