Johnny on Easy Writing.

don't believe twas hard to do
When Homer wrote of Troy;
There were no rules. for him to watch.
No grammars to annoy.
He had no slang to guard against;
He spelt the easiest way;
The subjects were not threadbare then
Because he had first say.
And Dante had It easy, too,
In Florence when he wrote;
He made each phrase as he went on;
There were no words to quote.
The common talk OF every day
Was good enough to use:
"Too trite" was something never heard
There were no terms to choose.
Old Chaucer had no task at all;
He wrote what came along;
He put down just what people said
And couldn't spell words wrong.
You see no one had tried before
To write this brand new speech,
So Chaucer fixed it his own way
For all the schools to teach.
1t wasn't bad when Shakespeare lived;
The right no one could tell
There We're no dictionaries then;
No wonder he wrote well.
Now it gets harder all the time;
Each word must mean just so;
The very turn you'd like the best
Is one that will not go.

The SPORTING WORLD


Jockey J. Ransch has now reached
France, where he will ride for William
X. Vanderbilt. He has a good contract
with Mr.. Vanderbilt, and as there Is
every indication that this stable will
oe stronger this season than ever be-
fore Ransch's chances to rival the
clever performances of Reiff in that
country are especially bright.
Ransch is one of the live products Of
the west who invade the east at in
frequent intervals and show a knack
for riding horses. The youngster can
ride at about 105 pounds, and, with

Drinking Water.

Women do not drink enough water.
They pour down tumblers of ice water
as an accompaniment to a meal, but
that is worse than no water, the chill
preventing digestion and indigestion
being an indirect promoter of kidney
disease. A tumbler of water slipped in
the morning Immediately on rising and
another at night are recommended by
physicians. Try to drink as little water
ms possible with meals, but take a
glassful half an hour to an hour before
eating. This rule persisted in day after
day, month after month, the complex
ion will improve and the general health
likewise. Water drank with meals
should be slipped as well as taken spar

George Thompson, will do the light
weight work for the Vanderbilt stable.
Nash Turner sailed for France re-
Gently, and this experienced American
Jockey will do the heavyweight jockey
ship for the stable.
Ransch came into prominence in the
spring of 1900 and for time was I'M
der the wing of James Rowe. He rode
for Hardy Durham also, and his vic
tory with Merito at Gravesend, New
York, first attracted the attention of
eastern turfmen. Ransch rode then at
eightyseven pounds, and his two wins
with the filly made him many friends.
Last year Ransch had the largest
number of winners TO his credit, and,
although he did not ride with the best
jockeys all the time, he was consistent
and won on horses with which Buchan-
an, Burns and other more expensive
jockeys failed.

Hot milk for the complexion has
proved to be of the greatest benefit,

The Critical Kangaroo.

Twas growly, spotted leopard,
On the plains of Timbuktu.
Who met, one sunny morning,
With a happy kangaroo.
"Your suit is really startling"
Said the latter, with a smile,
For polka dots no longer
Are thought the proper style.
And. though no criticism
On your tailor | would cast,
i have g strong suspicion that
The color isn't fast.
For But here an interruption
Most sudden did occur,
Which filled the air around them
With what resembled fur.
And the leopard some time later,
Much larger round the waist,
Mused long in pensive manner
on that kargaroo's good taste"
