Favorite Is Beaten in the Five.
Fights By a Head

perfect day and a fast track
marked the opening of the race meeting
at the Interest Fair yesterday and
good crowd faced the horses when
Pat Keenan, rang the starting bell for
the opening race. A lively crowd gath
cred in the betting ring and the talent
was busy in picking them out. Judges
keenan,, Mcintosh and Mounce gave
entire satisfaction in the, stand and
Harry Lydon got them away at the
post without much difficulty
The two main races of the afternoon
We're the half mile and the -eighths.
In the first Billy Mahan opened as fav-
orite but the talent picked Glasses to
win and soon made him hot rayortte i'm
the pools driving Mahan into the field.
In the five-eights Aurora B. opened
as favorite but Rosebud, Charles Park
er's game mare, had friends enough to
give her an even break in the noools
when the horses went to the post.
The gentleman's driving race was
the first race of the afternoon with
three entries Klondike Red Cloud and
Audit, the two latter being PAGERS.
Red Cloud, g. L. Gifford's entry won
in three straight heats. Audit second

In the half mile Glasses got away in
the lead and was never headed though
Billie Mahan ran close second and
was closing in fast at the wire.
Glasses first, Billy Mahan second. Kit
tie Condor third. Time 49A. Six
horses entered, Lille Mack was
scratched.
Ten horses went to the post in the
five-eighths dash. There was consid-
cradle delay in the start, and the fay-
orite Aurora B. got pocketed. Miss
Croix led the way down the stretch
where the favorite broke through and
gave the leaders a pretty race but lost
second palce at the wire to Rosebud
who made startling finish and with
fifty feet to go would have won the
race. The time was 1:031k
A cowboy race closed the card for
the day and ended with an amusing in
cident that left the crowd happy.

A SNAKE STORY.
Men who Coax the yenomOus Rep-
tiles to Bite Them.

Men Who Coax the VenOmOus Rep
tiles to Bite Them.
"Men can become accustomed to
snake bite just as they can become ac-
customed to anything else" said man
who had spent much time in studying
the habits of reptilian life, 'and in not
a few instances which have come un-
der my observation the snake bite has
really become not only pleasurable,
but kind of physical necessity. You
see, the poison is stimulating. 1t works
like an opiate of the kind admins
tered by persons who fall victims to
the pernicious habit of using the nee
die, or of taking the stuff internally.
I have known a number of men who
would make snakes bite them every
day, and they simply couldn't get along
without it. Their energies would begin
to lag. They would feel drowsy and
lifeless. BY allowing a snake to bite
them they could relieve this condition.
The poison would stimulate and buoy
up, having the same effect as dose of
morphine or cocaine or other kinds of
dope has on persons addicted to It's
use. OF course they are careful not to
get an overdose of poison, always ex-
tracing enough of 1t to keep down the
dangerous consequences of the bite.
Often men addicted to this ugly prac-
tice are forced to tantalize and goad
the snake up to the point of despera-
ton in order to make it bite. But
they win strike after awhile. 1t is an
awful thing to even think about isn't
it? But this world is filed with curl
Gus things and curious persons, and
among the wonders of coarser kind
is the man who takes the snake fang

the war was over and they went home
broken in health, many of them, there
were those among them reduced to ac-
tual poverty because of the years they
had given to their country.
Yet these heroic women, too, per-
formed a mission. They, too, showed
how valuable in the relief of suffering
is the work of u strong, capable woman
in war Woman is a natural nurse.
When she knows her business thor
oughly she releases for active service
the ablebodied soldier whose place she
takes in the care of the disabled ones.
1t was not till the outbreak of the war
nurses became an official adjunct of
the American army. They were sent to
Cuba, they were sent to the Philip
pines, where some are to this day.
Congress enacted law providing for
the establishment of nurse corps
Hemale1," as the bill has it. noble
and respected Industrial occupation for
capable women was thus inaugurated.
They must, however, be thoroughly ca
pable There is no nonsense in the
qualifications of an army nurse. She
must of course be of the highest char
maintain her womanly dignity. She
must be constitutionally strong and
healthy and able to endure long hours
and hard work Sometimes a woman
nurse must remain in an army sur
geon's operating room many hours at
a stretch when wounded soldiers need
attention. There must be no weak
minded squeamishness or shrinking of
nerves The nurse must be graduate
from hospital training school
The female nurses corps Of the Unit
ed States army consists Of one superin-
tendent, appointed by the secretary of
war; chief nurses, nurses and reserve
nurses. Reserve nurses serve only when
special occasion requires them; the rest
serve all the time except during an an
nual furlough Of thirty days, during
which they receive pay. All nurses re.
ceive transportation and food and nee
essary expenses when travelling under
orders, as the soldiers do.
The pay. as women's wages go, is not
bad. The superintendent gets $1,800 a
year and expenses. Ordinary nurses
get $40 month, quarters and subsist-
ence when on duty in the United
States, $50 month outside of it. Chief
nurses receive about $25 month more
than this. The nurses are appointed by
the surgeon general of the army. with
the approval of the secretary Of war.

In some parts of New Mexico there
grows a grass which produces a SOM
niferous effect on the animals that
Craze upon it. Horses, after eating the
grass, in nearly all cases sleep stand
ing, while cows and sheep almost in
variably lie down.
1t has occasionally happened that
travellers have stopped to allow horses
to feed IN places where the grass
grows pretty thickly and the animals
have had time to eat considerable
quantity before its effects manifested
themselves.
In such cases horses have gone to
sleep on the road and it is hard to
arouse them. The effect of the grass
passes off In an hour or two, and no
bad results have ever been noticed on
account of it. Cattle on the ranches
frequently come upon patches of this
grass, where they feed for perhaps half
an hour and then fall asleep for an
hour or more, when they wake up and
start feeding again. The programme
is repeated perhaps dozen times I'M
til thirst obliges them to go to water.
Whether, like the poppy, the grass
contains opium, or whether It's sleep
producing property is due to some
other substance is not known.

People stood and gazed at it and
wondered what 1t was. Balm of a
Thousand Flowers" 1t had an attrac-
tive oriental sound "Yes," thought DR..
Ripley to himself, 81 am sure that it
will sell"
But there was trifiing error in his
reckoning.
That error was due to the insigni1-
cant fact that in Longwood at present
there was not a single case of Group or
whooping cough except that of his
small daughter. DR.. Ripley sat for a
few minutes and thought about it.
Nance" he said after awhile, elf
you want that child to get better you
must let her get out in the open air.
Medicine can do much, but air is the
important thing after all. Send her out
and let her play"
"But, Howard protested his better
half, there's no place for her to go but
in the street We haven't any back
yard, you know. And the street is full
of children, and they'll take it."
Howard shook his head. "Full of
childrenv' he unused. 'tWeIl, self preser-
walton is the first law of nature, and
she must have the air. Send her out.
The children must take care Of them
selves"
