Three Rivers, Mich. June 29.-Word
has just reached this city of a most
dastardly outrage at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas Weston, an aged
couple, living on their farm west OF
this city
On Friday evening Mrs. Weston had
occasion to go TO the well, few feet
from the back door of the house. AS
she stepped towards il she was set
upon by a man, who caught her by the
throat, threw her 10 the ground and
with threats 10 take her life II she
made any outcry, commenced TO
search her person. claiming she had a
large amount OF money concealed
about her. Mrs. Weston succeeded in
alarming her husband, who was IN bed.
Weston sprang to the door, but was
met by the muzzle Of a loaded revolver
and terrible threat that his life would
answer for interference.
Got Only Ten Dolares.
The miscreant secured some $40 in
silver the old lady had just placed in
uel oIots pOChet, dlleI which ne
jumped the fence and disappeared.
The only theory the old couple can
give for the attack is that another lady
had been stopping at their home who
had considerable money with her, but
fortunately on the same day had de-
posted II in a bank. They think the
robber mistook the person. Indica.
tons are that the robbery was the
work Of local talent, and the officers
are trying TO ferret the matter out.

A New Novel Attracting Attep,ion

'Lioncl Ardon,' by Malcolm Dearborn, is new historical novel brought out by Dl. lingham Co, in November last. l. has many points on which to commend il for its superiority to the reading public There IS, at present, such deluge of new novels that when one can be picked out whose in. tetest Is SO intense and whose characters gre SO well drawn like all productions of true merit, 1t IS soon placed in the first rank At the tune of the publication of this vol. tune we had the pleasure of favorably re. viewing it. and We are pleased to note the general appreciation of Lionel Ardon" by the American press. The following Is from the Boston Beacon:
 In thls book the reader renews aequaint. anee with English history by means of a story deiieately conceived and very inter. esilngly told. The historical characters are well drawn and the imaginary ones are true To llie past or present 1hls IS the first novel to utilize the beautiful face and char. acter of Lady Jane Grey and she makes a very attractive part of the story Lionel Ardon from boyhood to manhood plays worthlly the hero's part. The book is very strlkngly bound in dark blue and gilt with a decorative touch by the outlines of the rose and thistle in colors and two inverted swords m white"

pended in costumes, millinery crate personal decorations of all kinds must have it's display day. In the United States there is only one race that offers this midsummer treat-the American derby. The metropolitan handicap in the carly spring comes when it is too chilly for tinery.
 When the equally popular Brooklyn handicap is conte sted before 10000 pa irons, the weather generally is unpro- pitious for the fashion plate display. Later, when the crowded districts of the metropolitan district turn out their thrones 4j,000 people have seen the Coney Island Jockey clubs great event-the scene often approaches in grandeur of costumes and livery the American derby pageant, but western CTS will never admit that it has ever eX- celled in briliancy the best exhibitions of "beauty, chivalry and enthusiasm" recorded in some of the best known seasons at the track made famous by the American derby.
 More than 100 colts and Allies that as two-year-olds brought huge amount of success to their owners, or a fair amount of racing merit. are named for this years American derby. Pcl. the winner now and back that horse in the winter books, and the win nings of the plungers at Monte Carlo would be mere tritles compared to your returns. Odds as high as 1000 to 1 will be offered by the venturesome bookmakers on some animals named in the big list. The more prominent and best favored of the probable starters may be held as low as seven to one for time. IL must be taken in- to consideration by the person who es- says the role of winter book plunger. that there is scarcely any probability of more than Is horses actually start ing for the S25.O0O prize June 20 The remainder either will be de clared" by the nominators, or will be tried out before hand and cast into the "also ran division" by the trainers and owners. The chances of the public favorite in February capturing the event in June are problematical.
 This year the derby will not differ from the races of the last few years. It will represent the struggle of the rich customers against the western CTS. August Belmont, the millionaire of an illustrious family, may not sit in the stand when Lord of the Vale, his grand looking Hastings colt starts in the derby. but he will center his hopes on the capture of this race. That won

would not be so much glamor in the classic. If all it were necessary for the men of unlimit- ed means to do were to buy up the be st two-yoar- olds and take the derby with one of them, Go.000 perspiring, strug- gilng, wildly shouting people would not pay homage to the horse derby day. Dick Welles. the son of King Eric. on a continuation of his tWo-year- old form, might be expected to buck jump home a winner in the derby, as did that noble looking animal Em- peror or Norfolk. The latter was a grand year-old-as a three-year- old il seemed that no horse could break his spirit and take his measure. Rome Respess. who loves his colt as some fathers do their sons and daugh- ters, will sit silently. yet in deep thought. as the stable jockey is giving this colt his final workout for the $25.- 900 stake, and then the stable hands will draw near to hear his verdict. Dick Welles will make the winner know he was at hoss race" may be the owners remark. IL will not be anything more eNtrayagant. But if the colt should win Mr. Respess will deliver eulogy on the colt that would make any well-balanced equine hero turn red in the face.
 Or the finger of Fate might point to Ioniton, lilly by Ormonde. the "hOrse of the century" and make W. O'Brien Macdonough, the millionaire breeder of Menlo farm. California, the happiest man in all the world. Honi- ton would be the only flly except Modesty, to get into the American derby roll of honor. if she won. She would be as much discussed as the old worlds greatest lilly, Scepter. Why would Mir. Macdonough be so happy? Does a man who pays S170,000 for 900 pounds of horse flesh desire the stake 5000? Emphatically. no. The love of the horse that prompted him to pay that large sum for Ormonde. the great est animal England has ever produced winner of the Epsom derby, the two thousand ard the St. Leger- would make his face radiant die Honi- ton walk into her dowry. so tc speak, at the time when her noble sire was about to cross the threshhold of life to be consigned to a resting place at the base of marble shaft.

 Not so long ago the governors daughter proposed to a group of friends that they all go out and pie ,ic at her fathers farm. The ride v0,ld be enjoyable, and the antici- nation of the good things to eat in ,bs way of fresh cream and butter ,nade the friends eagerly assent
 Accordingly, Miss Luce ordered her .otber,s double-seated carriage, took .be reins of the spirited bay horses, ,ut the women in the back seat, and inc jolly party started for the farm On the way the conversation drifted ;,.o various channels, and the sub- iect of what one would do if strand sd without money in strange place arose The woman protested that the situation would be an exceeding ;v embarrassing one, and that unless some charitable organization was applied to the chances were the po- hce would hare tc be interviewed.
 Miss Luce, however, took more optimistic view of the situation. She felt that if lady lost her pocket book she would be trusted somehow, and that, too, without people know jnp who she was. As her manner was so convincing one of the women gayly cried
 All right, here is country store. get trusted there, if they don't know you"
 Miss Luce drove up to the store, explained to the storekeeper who came out that the party was without money, and would he trust her un- tH she could pay him, which might not be for a week-they wanted some chewing gum badly"
 The country storekeeper, with amazing alacrity, brought out sever. al boxes of gum, begged the ladies to take all they desired, and Miss Luce drove off triumphantly, feeling that her theory had worked to perfection. She had been unknown and trusted 1olely on her word and convictions. As the carriage moved off one of the ladies, who thought it too good joke to keep, called out to the store keeper:
 This is Gov Luce's daughter"

thoroughbred racing says at some time during his perusal of the entries for Americas greatest classic stake-the S2J.000 American derby. Men who wager as much as five dollars on horse race. breeders who main tain costly stock farms, racing off cIais, students of handicapping, jock. eys, stable -millionaires and poor men-all begin their annual pug zle problem work as soon as it is known what three-year-olds are going to con- test for the "blue ribbon" of the Wash ington park meeting.
 Later on, when every town and vil- lage where the enterprising winter bookmaker thinks there is a chance of soliciting patronage. is carefully pro- vided with sheets of odds on the en- tries," the regulars" above mentioned will 5e joined b: thousands of others. perhaps many of whom have never seen the American derby contested. It is no exaggeration to say that as he result of this winter book speculation on this race fully $1 100000 will change hands.
 It is the usual thing for people who have little i'll common with race tracks or speculation on the events contested on them, to turn out" once year to pay homage to the thoroughbred horse. They go to the American derby not as do the Bfitishers to Epson downs to their classic stake, but to add splendor to the Vanity Fair of the race course. A half million dollars eX-
