QUAINT FEATURES OF LIFE.

Grasshoppers are worth 81 a bushel In
sanpete county, Utah. The market Is prao-
tically without limit and cannot be over
stocked. Men and women are engaged in
the work OF collecting the insects. Boys
and girls find profitable employment at the
work. The gr~asshoppers are numbered by
the million. They are killing the crops,
running the trees and denuding every plant
Of its foliage. Great armies OF them darken
the sun and hover like clouds Of dust over
the green fields and gardens. Wherever the
destructive pests attack a field Of grass or
grain they take the entire crop, leaving
dust and desolation.

oh. I don't know.

oh. I don't know.
That tobOggan slide didn't 60 all the
way through after all, and any way II was
wide enough to hold two, for the Denver
team managed 10 get in right alongside OF
omaha and go kiting down about as rapidly
as anything we've seen lately. Eight
straight loses is the record for the season,
and Omaha cheerfully passes the medal
over to the Grizzlies. Who'll be its next
wearer doesn't appear on the surface, but
the team that gets it from Denver will
surely have to hustle. While all this
sliding has been going on Kansas City has
come down a few. too. but has managed to
check the downward rush. and is now hold
ting FIRST place by the safest margin OF the
season. St. Joe's mad dash for the top
brought the team up into the Hrst division
bunch, but as yet the McKibbenites haven't
been able to pass anyone on the way. In
the present series, should the Saints win
all, which isn't likely, there lies a chance
for them to pass Denver and tie Omaha.
But Omaha will get one II not two OF the
games there, and is sure to get one of
the games at Kansas City Milwaukee,
Peoria and Des Moines are all putting out
q much faster article OF ball than they did
during the early days OF the season, and
will make matters mighty warm for. the
nrst division bunch before the next month
Is over. Colorado Springs is the rank in
and-outer Of the league, and It is not likely
that its position will be much improved. The
bruising series at Peoria and it's victories
indicate that Omaha has called a halt on the
hard luck features OF the present expedition
and is again playing ball. This is what
the local fans rejoice to see. Eighteen
games on the home ground during July
ought to see the Rourke flag flying from the

STORIES OF HORSE RACING
Some "reminiscences Gathered Around the
Judges Stand.
TYPICAL ANECDOTES OF THE. oLD-TlWEss
How = Few Races Have Been Won
and some of the Ups and
Downs of q Drivers
Life.

There are no tales like those Of the
track, and there is no gossip to equal a
turfman when once started on a flood Of
memories that are indelibly written into
his career. The four days racing which
has Just ended In Omaha was the occa-
sion Of an unusual assembling Of such
horsemen, and as a result there was an
upheaval Of "reminiscences Of racing expert
ences that has not been paralleled here In
many years. In the Judges stand this
gossip found its working center, and this
can be easily understood when the list Of
the men who were there is reviewed. First
there was Billy Sapp, the veteran horse
man Of Council Bluffs, Ia, who has started
horses for decades; next was Nick Ronin Of
Fremont, a turf follower from the eos on;
add to these such old stagers as G. G.
Trey, NJ. L. Learned and Clinton Briggs
Of Omaha and John s. Adams Of Genoa, and
you have the foundation for a lively mess
of track stories. And they were certainly
to be had last week. Not a. race but re-
minded some or all of these officials Of
something they had seen somewhere; not q
heat but had in II some feature that was
simply a repetition Of what some black
mare or bay gelding did back in York state
or otherwhere years ago, and then some of
the old-time drivers appeared on duty, and
this meant q host Of additional recollec-
tions.

Freaks and marvels have checkered the
entire career OF Ella Range, the guideless
pacing mare. According to her history as
related by her trainer, Ed FitEsimmons, this
horse has led a life that for eventfulness
could be equaled by those Of few ordinary
men. Most remarkable OF all the Incidents
related by Fltzsimmons. however. is doubt
less the very manner in which the mare
happened to begin as a guideless wonder.
After Elias sensational performance last
Wednesday, when she did a mile on the
half mile oval in 2;10A. I'd came to the
Judges stand to get the time by quarters
and so got in on the general round OF
tales. Said he:
This mare IL 10 years old and I have
been starting her as q guideless PAGER for
six seasons, I began It in a most peculiar
way. Ella is bred up with any Of them,
being by Coast Range. by Nutland; dam,
America, by Arcadian. by Egbert. DIT.
Hayes Of Chippewa Falls, Wis. who raised
her. thought she would make good, and was
fond OF her. I took her to train, but there
was an ornery streak in her and after
seasons Of labor she was still a bad actor.
She would go right through a fence, whether
there was a gate there or not, and needed
more governors and straps and things than
my u 4 NNNA paw ~ bCNhuc SIMPLY
useless to start her at all and one day I
lost my temper and said I would make a
guideless wonder out OF her or kill her.
so l took her out TO the track in hobbies
and simply turned her loose. A friend bet
me 500 she would fall down before she
reached the quarter. I took II, and Ella
paced safely two rods past the quarter,
when she turned a complete somerset.
We helped her up and led her back and
started her over. That time she went clear
round. From that time on her future was
settled. That fall took all meanness out
OF her as we'll. and 1t is a peculiar fact
that since then I have been able to drive
her all right. In fact. she goes a mile
to sulky In about 2:17. Every year, too.
she gets q little faster at the guideless
game, and had she not gone once around
on the gallop today with a broken hobble
she would have made 2;Os beyond a doubt.

81 was just thinking of the FIRST time I
ever saw high class racing" said Nick
Ronin. at was at oxford. Pa. twenty-five
years ago. A blacksmith came out and
drove a horse in 2:42 to a high wheeled
sulky and the time sent the people crazy, It
was so wonderful. There we're 10000 Of
them there. A little later, In westchester,
we had a similar crowd and the big race
lay between a Lancaster county horse,
Lizzie, and a Chester county mare, Efie.
The county rivalry was Intense. Both
counties were bet solid on their respective
horses. Lizzie won in the home Of her
opponent and Lancaster county owned the
whole OF Chester county. The time was
2:32k, and that was considered marvellous.
A little later they raced again at Lancaster
county and there Efhe won on her OPP
ponent's own track. So the counties Just

get her back on her feet for a quarter Of a
mile and 1t seemed to break her heart.
She will never do It Of her own accord.
She just PAGES along and apparently don't

good thing to have a horse know how to

"Why, there's old Halsell from Waco,
Tex says @. q. Trey, as ollie Miller, the
little black Texas mare, was driven onto
the track for the second race of the first
day. Behind the horse sat a little man
with gray sideburns, and to him Trey re-
ferred. 81 remember him" continued the
speaker, when he drove the famous PAGER,
Richball. the horse that made a record OF
2:12K back in 1888. Halsell was the man
who brought that horse out, and he was
the one who drove him to that record.
But Ha1sell Is a crafty old dog. Richba1l
paced many a race before anyone knew
how good he was, and In his great race
against Porter and Buffalo Girl at Suffolk
in 1883 Halsell had them all guessing. He
brought Richball out for the first heat
wearing wooden toe weights. They looked
Just like the metal. but they didn't have the
weight, and the animal was away behind
in that heat, The next was the same, and
that time Richball was almost distanced.
BY that time old Halsell had the measure
Of all his opponents. and also had his
horses price around the 100 to l shot mark,
which was where he wanted it.. Before
the third heat he changed weights, putting
on the real thing, and then the fun began.
Richball simply walked away from them
all for three straight heats, and the people
were thunderstruck. But Halsell had won
the purse, a monster one, and It was found
later that a big bunch of money had been
placed on Richball at an enormous long
figure Just before the third heat"

Boston Transcript. Poor little Alfonso,
one says at first, when hearing that the

with sober second thought there comes the
reflection that after all he is saved some
thing by the arrangement which obtains in
royal circles. He doesn't. have to lie awake
at night tossing about on his pillow making
up his mind to propose and then perhaps
follow these restless nights with even worse
ones caused by the refusal OF his over
lures. All this is being done for him and
he is at liberty to give his mind to state
affairs or even to very trivial ones, while
the matchmaking goes on. Probably. young
as he is, he has the habit OF kings born

princess chosen for him be young and
