STIRRED BY APOOl BILL
HOrsenen Mean TO Fight tie Plan to
Prohibit All Publ: Betting at Mary

Tracks.
The bill offered in the House at Anna
polls by Joshua Clayton, of Cecil county,
last week, to prohibit pool selling at
race tracks in Maryland has greatly agit-
ated the racc-horsc interests in this State.
AT meeting of the Maryland and Vir-
ginia Racing Circuit representatives.
held a few days ago, the bill was freely
discussed and a committee was appoint
ed to go to Annapolis and antagonize the
measure. \ similar bill was passed in
the Pennsylvania legislature some years
ago, and it put great handicap on the
horse racing in that state. Should a bill
like the one offered by Mr.. Clayton go
into effect, it would almost stop racing
in this State. The committee appointed
to antagonize the question is composed Of
the following:-Col. Robert Hough. chair
man; MessrS. S. j. Twilley, of pocomoke:
Frederick Dallman, of Upper Marlboro

The mississippi 100000 Years Ago.


Did YOU ever figure on what was the
nrobable condition of the great MIS-
sissippi river 10000, 100000 or even
100000 years ago? Scientists suggest
that the erosion of its bed was ac-
compIished by a mighty cataract
which began far down the river, PROP
ably at the place where it then emp
tied into the gulf, and by gradual re-
progression dug out the valleyllke
gorge through which 1t now 1oWs'
That this theory is tenable may be In
ferred from the high, wall-l1ke bluHs,
features so characteristic Of the upper
part Of its course.
A wearing away of monster cata-
ract would of course necessarily leave
high walls or bluffs on either SIDE.
These are the we'll known features OF
the father of meandering streams. IL
would seem. according to this theory
that ST. Anthony's falls constitute the
remnant Of what was once the most
stupendous cataract in the world. Ge
ologists estimate that it has taken the
river 100000 years to carve out the
mighty ditch through which 1t no"

A Kind Word.

Many a friendship, long, loyal and
self sacrificing, rested at first on no
thicker a foundation than kind word.
Two men were not likely to be friends.
Perhaps each of them regarded the
other with something Of distrust. They
had possibly been set against each 9th
err by the circulation Of gossip or they
had been looked upon as rivals, and
the success of one was regarded as in
compatible with the success of the 9TH
er. but a kind word, perhaps a mere re-
port of a kind word, has been enough
to be the commencement Of an endur-
ing friendship.
