oWNER OF cR EsoEUs ESCAPES,
Wichita Horsemen Expelled for Abet-
 ting n Fraudulent Record.

| ting Fraudulent Record.
 Chicago, Dec. 8.George Ketcham, of
 Toledo, Ohio, was found not guilty of
 establishing a fraudulent record for his
 trotting stallion Cresceus at the Vii
 chita, Kan, track, on October 19, 1902,
 after a hearing of the case before the
 board of appeals of the American Trot- 4 ting association here tonight. The
 board declared that the evidence fell short of sufficiency in establishing
 criminal participation in the claimed fraudulent agreement for an illegiti-
 mate record, so far as MT. Ketcham
 was concerned
 I The story detaied by Starter Jor-
 dan, of the Wichita track, who declared to the board that MT. Ketcham had ar ranged with him to fix the time of
 Cresceus so that the worlds mile rec I ord would be broken, the decision de- clares, lis not without considerable cor lroboration in matters of finor detail. We must, however, view the case be- fore us wholly from the evidence we
 have, acknowledging that the chief fac | tor has certainly convicted himself of falsehood, an especially in view of the sweeping and unequivocal denial of di-
 rect and indirect participation made by
 Mr. Ketchan, we must determine that the evidence to establish his connection with the fraud and intrigue lying at ' the foundation of this attempted rec ord. s While freeing Mir. Ketcham from the 1 charge the board found the officials. of the Southern Kansas Fair association,
 on whose track the race was run, guilty at connivance to establish a fraudulent record, e&pel1ing from the American Trotting association c. H.. Irwin and all the others officers con- Inected with the Wichita track at that Itime.
 The persons expelled of the board be- sides MT. Irwin were s. B. Amiden, Judge A. c. Jordan, Frederick Stearns
 and H. T. Eames, all of whom were Hound by the board to have participat- | ed in the announcement and establish ment of the fraudulent record of the ihorse Creseeus.
 1 The expulsion of these officials also
 means that the worlds record for trot- ling stallions of 1:59 S-4, claimed to
 have been made by Cresceus, is not all lowed by the board.

GrOo m ing IL VaIun Bile,

The proper and frequent grooming OF
work horses Is too little done by farm
ers who do not appreciate the impOr
lance of the work. 1t may appeal to
you when we assert, without fear of
contradiction. that well-grOomed
horse works better and requires less
food than horse kept in a filthy con
dition. Proper grooming means proper
circulation of the blood and opens the
pores of the skin. Where circulation
has become inpeded and the pores OF
the skin are blocked up with the filth
the animal il out Of sorts and cannot
work with normal vigOr. nor can il
derive the due amount of nutrimpnt
from its food; hence it is tempted to
eat more than other horses.

THE MATTER OF AGE.
Men Are Often a. Sensitive a. Women
On the Subject.

The National Academy of Design
recently awarded n prize to woman
I'm competition limited to artists not
over a certain age. The artist discov-
cred that she was ineligible and re-
minded the committee Of the fact. In
the prize. the artist said: "Of course
it isn't pleasant to have attention
drawn to One's age"
1t il fact that almost all women
more than twenty years old. and many
men over forty, are sensitive on the
subject Of age. says the Washington
Times. but few Of them could give any
explanation OF their feeling that would
not be puerile. Apparently they are
ashamed OF having arrived at years
Of discretion" but they would repudi-
ate that expla ma ton Indignantly. Sure
ly there Is nothing discreditable in the
bodily health that conduces to long
life. nothing degrading In having es.
capped fatal accident and disease.
Why should it be unplea sant to ha We
attention drawn to ones age when one
is neither very young nor very old ?
1t Is not unplea SAINT to have attention
drawn to the color of ones hair-un-
less the color be artificial or indicative
of that same reprehensibe lapse Of
time which constitutes age 1t is not
unpleasant to be, say. thirty years
old. but ii Is the correct thing for
women especially to regard reference
to the fact as a personal affrOnt or
an injury to their vanity
The man who shows sensitiveness
about his age and tries to appear
younger than he is usually il regard
ed as silly person and spoken Of be-
hind his back as a vain old fool, but
until woman passes the four score
mark she Is encouraged by the conven-
tons of society to fib about the lapse

Of men and women takes a twist in
the reverse direction. and the conceit
of centenarian becomes monument
tai
Perhaps feminine disincina ton to
tell or hear the truth about age is a
survival from the times when years
were important factors in determining
value in the matrimonial market Or
possibly the unplea sa ntness of refer
ences to the subject is as artificial in
it's origin as the fear Of mice. which

Tobacco Used In Prisons Does Not Pay

bacco is used exclusively within the
