Why Lasted bitter.

Not long ago a physician had coca
sion to prescribe quinine to a patient,
an elderly lady who was not used TO
modern ways Of administering medi-
cine. The quinine was ordered in cap
sules-twelTe, each containing four
grains.
About a week later the doctor was
called TO attend daughter Of the old
lady, and upon the dresser he noticed
what ne supposed were the Quinine
capsules he had prescribed Turning
to the mother he asked why she lad
not taken his medicine.
Sure, doctor, do you mean that bit
ter powder? Yes, I took it, but had
hard work getting it out Of those little
glass things it was put up in.

An American journalist heard La

VOcate's address was full Of grace, wit,
tenderness. He quotes a passage re-
lating to old age wherein Labor, with

Large Picture Held Attention
A wagon load Of rusty horseshoes
or a trucklOad OF whalebOne are not
uncommon sights IN the streets Of
lower Manhattan, but a truck contain
ing a single oil painting Of large pro-
portions, uncovered TO the gaze Of
thousands, is rather more rare. Such
a load came down Broadway a few
days ago. The frame Of the painting
was fully six feet high and long in
proportion, and the canvas bore the
picture Of one Of the noted ocean
liners, sailing along with the proverb-
iaI bone in her teeth" under a sky
as blue as turquOis. The truck stop
ped before a steamship once, and
four men who had held the painting
in position during the journey carried
it with much effort through the door

WILL NOT POSTPONE RACE
Upton Says Shamrock III. Will Be
Ready at Time Set for
Contests.

/; The two Shanlrocks left Weymouth yes
Eterday at noon for Southampton. The
Fchallenger was toWed by the Erin.
Sir Thomas Upton was interviewed be-
fore the departure Of the yachts. De-
scribing the accident of last week he said:
when the challenger lost her mast
there was certainly six feet OF water over
her lee deck. My first impression when
the mast went was that the boat was
sinking. Later. when was able to scram-
BILE on deck, I found everything gone
and the boats out doing rescue work r
never saw the seaman Collier in the
water" -.
Sir Thomas was bewildered at the sud
denness of the accident and said that
what Immediately followed seemed to him
like the confused remembrance of a dream.
Questioned as to his future course, he
said he meant to work day and night to
get the yacht rehtted in time for further
trials before sailing for New York. His
desire was to avoid a postnonement Of
the races. =.
Mr.. Ward. Designer Fife and Captain
Wringe have had q conference and have
promised to put the challenger in racing
trim again in three weeks. It will be a
big job. Designer Fife has condemned
the boom, gaff mast and topsaN spars
OF the yacht and they will all be removed
as will the sails. -.
The, decision against a 'postponement Of
sultation, and yesterday morning Sir
Thomas sent the following cablegram to
G. A. Cornlack, secretary of the New York
Yacht club: .~. -:
Il am pleased to inform you that the
damage to the Shamrock III. will be
righted in three or four weeks. There will
be no necessity Of considering the question
Of a postponement. Please communicate
this to your committee and also convey
my warmest thanks for their expressions
of sympathy" IL
Sir Thomas said he saw nothing in the
recent accident to lessen the great con-
fidence he felt in the Shamrock III If
racing yachts are to be built, ne said, there
must be some risk. If we built vessel as
safe as liner we might as well keep her
a home for any chance she would have Of
winning the cup. -.
Designer Fife took the same view: He
has never appeared so confident as he Is
now. 80
The wrecked spars Of the challenger
were lifted to the quay at Weymouth yes
terday. Many sightseers were present to
view the wreckage.
The she! of the mast is Of extraordinary
thinness, being Of 3-ie inch nickel STEEL
| The length of the mast Was 1856 feet and
its greatest diameter u inches. That the
metal was very tough Is evidenced by the
fact that it had bent and rebent In various
places without breaking. - 3::-: -.

The millers have the Kansas City

departments of the game, If yesterdays $

teen hits off Martin and Gibson. St.
Vrain and Sporer kept the singles well
scattered. Mcintyre clinched the game
for his team by. a home run In the ninth,
which brought in three runs.

What Good Did IT .Do7

something to somebody, but how much
and to whom is the question that no one
seems able to answer. There is no doubt
of how much golden grain belt beer is
worth. or to whom it does good. It is
worth more than all other tonics com
