COLDS

the natural functions of the kidneys even
 when those organs are seriously involved.  | trainer Several thousands dollars are sent | into the ring to be placed on the horse l which he Is sending to the post. The l owner acts entirely on the suggestion of | the trainer for while he Is sportsman l enough to be satisfied with his horse simply winning, 1t is only natural that | he should be gratified at having the animal bring home some money. Then the short. stock man, with the humorous, benevolent case of countenance. strons through the paddock gate, down some l where near the judges stand, to where a group of his fellows are standing, say- ing hello to them in brotherly fashion The horses his own among them, parade
 in front of the grandstand.
 "I think I've got you beat today, Jim mie," he may say. with a quiet smile, teasingly. T thing the colt will come home ahead of the others with his mouth open today, he adds carelessly-so care-
 lessly that one would not think his heart
 was beating and his pulses quickened at
 the hope of anding the coveted event. They're off"' from the grandstand. A flash of color on the opposite side of the track. The race is on. The trainer has his glasses to his eyes and quiet smile plays about his mouth. Down the stretch come the thoroughbreds. The trainer takes his glasses down, watching intently the leading horse well ahead of the others. As the multitude acclaims the winner. he
 turns quietly to his companion. T told
 you had the winner in that, Jimmy" he says quietly. 'The boy rode a good race
 on him-did just as I told him." Takes No Credit to Himself. No credit to himself-just pleased at
 having won and having had his instruc- tions carried out. Then, hurrying to the
 paddock to see that his charge Is prop erly cooled out, he receives the congrat-
 ulations of the owner, who hastens from the clubhouse with beaming face to shake his hand. He really seems to care much
 more for having the cooling carried out
 properly than for any praise showered on him.
 Then a careful preparation for the ami
 nal entered in a following race. This
 time he is not so fortunate, for his colors
 come in behind another. The talent"
 planes the jockey for a blundering ride.
 "I am afraid that the colt needed this race to make him good" says the trainer,
 half refectively. Should have been more certain of it." No blame on anybody but himselfl
 The races are finished, the trainers two
 thoroughbred are taken back to the quarters. After the others have had
 their exercise the horseman has his sup
 per. and the. feed boxes with the duly
 measured portions for the horses final meal of the day. have been placed in
 their stalls. But the trainers duties are
 not yet finished for the day. He has
 some important business to see to yet
 for his four-footed charges.
 About 2 o'clock with the foreman, the trainer visits the stall of each of his horses, when the feed boxes are removed for the night and the animals shut in their stalls.
 Perchance it is the Classic Stable over which this trainer has charge, and the horses of which are appropriately named The first stall into which they go Is that of Caesar. When the feed box is remov- ed it Is seen that not single oat is left, and the trainer and the foreman chuckle a little bit
 The Daily Inspection.
 Hes coming along finely, sir" in all likelihood the foreman will say. Hes got the appetite of an elephant Wants to play all the time'
 Just keep him doing as he has been says the trainer casually The door is shut and they pass on to the next stall. When the feed box is removed it is seen that Sallust has left a large portion of his oats untouched. and this fact is commented on by the trainer and his as- sistsnt
 He was lying down most of yesterday and nearly all day today" says the fore man. "He doesn't seem near as fun of ginger IS he was A while back"
 The trainer makes a careful inspection Of the colt which seems listless and lack ing in spirit He thinks a little and then says: Nothing serious. reckon Don't | do much with him for three or four days"
 Down the line they go to the stalls of Cicero and Virgil. The two seem to have | eaten their oats and are apparently fin | g''0d condition Whs the foraran orens | a door farther down the line a 2-year-old | thrusts it's head out suddenly and pre- | tends to take a hlte out of the trainers shoulder. receiving slap In the mouth | which apparently 'loes not startle if | much. but which makes 1t snake its head | and rear Up on its hind feet.

 The trainer and the foreman look at | the cclt admiriuely for little. then at one another and sroile ,ieIiRhtedIv.
 'If h" keeps going ike this" says tho trainer in a matter-of-fact way q guess there won't he anything in the | Mnturitv hut TittIe Asca nins Iei1 foo, some Of the wise ones I guess" The | foreman nods acduinscence. the door is shut and as they move away a resound | ing kick against the stall of Ascanius | makes them both smile and look Knowing ly at one another They are fully ava TO lt is only plavfulness
 At last the inspection of every thor ouEhbrec has been made and the trainer turns away with q sigh of relief A fel 'ow-trainer comes m and perhaps they talk horse for a little. after which they prepare to retire. as there Is much to he '"n" o" +he morrow
 The Wind-up of the Dav's Work.
 'The boss is coming down in his auto early in the morning" says one 10 the other. as they separate. 'T am going to give Aeneas his final prep for the Cos mopolitan. Then the owner wants to see whether I think he ought to give $s0 GOO for Red Ridge or not"
 This Is only a small portion of what the trainer has to do to earn his S1O 900
