The Cleveland amateur reinsman, H.
K. Devereux, may well look back with
a feeling of pride on what he accomplished
with his horses during the season just
ended. He participated in SO wagon
events winning "a races, securing24 sec
onds, seven thirds, and being unplaced but
three times. This is certainly a re-
markable showing, and is made all the
more creditable by the fact that he gave
ten horses wagon records Of 2.13H, or
better, also driving John A. McKerron to
his record of 2.05A at Memphis, and set
a new worlds record for half-mile heats to
wagon by a trotter, winning with Invader,
I'll Il, in 1.O4A and 1.03A at, Memphis.
He was also separately timed in 211A in a
wagon race with Peko at Lexington. It
will be long time before other amateurs
beat Mr.. Devereux's record for 1902. X

A PSALM OF THE GAME.

a PSALM OF THE GAME.
Tell us not in mournful measure.
Life is but rose-srewn way;
Paths of peace afford no pleasure
Like brilliant grand-stand play
Life Is fierce. life is savage:
And the truly noble soul
Loves to MAIN, and lame, and ravage
Down the line from goal to goal.
Not for us the wordy wrangle;
Protests, kicks and bowls are vain;
But to act that every tang1e
Leaves few less yards to gain.
Lives Of players all remind us
We may triumph in the chase,
And departing leave behind us
Footprints on full many a face.
On the white-lined field Of battle
Let no mercy drive or lead;
Be. not like tame, plodding cattle
Organize grand stampede.
Let us then be up and slugging
Like heroic gentlemen; 3
Shifting, jabbing, punching, chugging-
Seven-n fne-two-sixteen-ten.

POISONING THE SYSTEM.

1t is through the bowels that
the body is cleansed of impuri-
ties. Constipation keeps these
poisons in the system, causing
headache, dullness and melan-
cholia at first, then unsightly
eruptions and finally serious ILL.,
ness unless IL remedy is applied.
Dewitt Little Early Risers pre-
vent this trouble by stim ulating
the liver and promote easy,
healthy action of the bowels.
These little pills do not act viol.
emily but by strengthening the
bowels enable them to perform
their own work. Never grippe or
distress. DR.. Terry's drugstore.

not be appointed head Of the commission
to supervise the building Of he Panama
canal Tho President has other plans
for the General plans of military. char
aoter, more to the taste Of the latter:
According to these plans General Wood
will be designated as president of the
new commission which tine President win
appoint to reorganize the army. This
commission will not be named until ext
year, probably after the retirement OF
Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, the
commanding officer of the army.
Under the laws General Miles viii be
eligible for retirement next year. His re-
tirement will pave the way for the fresl-
dents plan ultimately to elevate his friend
General Wood to that position. he first
step will be the appointment of General
Wood as the head of the new army COM
mission, where he will have chance
to demonstrate the qualities which the
President believes him to POSSESS.
The one ambition of General Wood Is
to become the head of the army. He
has made no secret Of this fact ana Will
welcome his designation as the ranking
officer of the army mnissicn as af-
fording him an opportunity to show that
he has the ability to command the army.
1t Is not expected that General Wood
will he oficially informed Of the inten-
ton OF the President to appoint him on
the army commission until his return
from abroad.
General Wood in discussing his future
a few days before he sailed said:
II will comply with the wishes of the
