The Dixie Chapter, Montgomery.

The Dixie Chapter, MOmtBVmcEss . As the heavy rain on November 2no prevented the regular monthly meet ing of the Dixie Chapter, the post poned meeting occurred on Novemoer in the cheerful parlors of the Pres ident Mrs. ]. Lewis Cobbs. The sun shine of Indian summer brought out an unusual crowd, so that a goodly number of familiar faces watched the eavel as the President called the meet ing to order After the Secretary, Mrs wm. A. Gayle, had given the minutes, which were approved by the Chapter she read the many appeals for aid. one request from Lexington. Va, asking aid in purchasing the home of General Stonewall Jackson for hospital so aroused the interest and sympathies or the members that the desire to contrib ute greatly exceeded the finances of the Chapter A report from the commit tee appointed to investigate the price of A bass violin for the band of Veter- ans at the Soldiers Home at Mountain Creek, showed that the purchase was far beyond the financial ability or the Chapter. After the regular business had been thoroughly discussed. Miss Arlington, as a delegate to the St. Louis
 Convention of U. D. c. made an in- teresting report. Then in accordance with the instructions of the State His torian, Mrs. Gayle inaugurated the study of Confederate History by read ing a most entertaining and instruct i've paper on the topic, The Alabama Convention which passed the Ordinance
 of Secession" A pleasant social half hour over '"the teacups" brought the dusk of twilight with goodbyes until next time

Ghost Mystery of Little Vermont
 Village Cleared Up. {
Coon in Attic Badly Scared Timid, Farmer and His Hired Man--Mys- tery Solved by 8 Hunt
 ing Dog.

When the hired man employed by MT. Hunt, farmer living near Tyson, Vt, ran down two flights of stairs from the garret some nights ago and with bulging eyes and Quaking knees re- ported that he had tSest seen eh' gol- gumdest ghost" Abe laughed at him and told him ito go back an git them but'nuts'' he started after.
 But Pete-that was his name Wouldn't do it Every hair on his red head stuck up straight, and he allowed, that he'd ''be durned eff he wo'ld." He declared that he would forego butter nuts for all time rather than face that ghost No more garrets for him. He had rather get out and hunt for new job The ghost, he explained, had eyes as big as plate, claws the length of pitchfork tines, and scratched and snapped like a terrier pup. Never be fore had he seen it's like and never again would he take look if he could help it.
 sPeeshawl' snorted Abe We've been t one f them seances down t tn village; thet's what tn matter with ye. I'll hev but,nuts f hev t go arter 'em myself"
 With that he took the lantern and pail and made his way upstairs, while Pete hugged close to the lamp and poured out liberal libation of old cider the moment Abe's rheumatic legs disappeared above. He was draining a second glass when he heard commo- tion over his head. and the next mo- ment the farmer, lantern in hand, slid down the entire flight on his back and landed in limp heap on the kitchen floor
 "Gewhillikin'!" he gasped, looking furtsvely back over his shoulder, q c&Flate I most fell thet time. I seen :, suthin' an guess it was a ghost"
 There was a clattering above; feet battered on the floor and Pete and Abe shuddered in common fear. There was bump as of some heavy object falling, and then all was still Abe got tho clothes pole and pushed shut the door at the head of the stairs. Then he and the hired "hand" crouched at the center table and looken at each other
 There came knock at t1e door and both started nervougly Then the latct clicked and in walked Bud Hawkins champi hunter of the village, and his sleepy-eyed hound Spot.
 "Evenlng," he sald cheerfu1ly, ap. parently noticing nothing strange 1T the appearance of the men. Though I'd coue over an see ye didn't wan t go hn1ltin' t'-- ----.--- \ r;~' t' be aY, < 4 ss

 Spot looked up, blinked one eye and s1liffed. He turned the other eye to- ward the stairs and, twisting in his tracks, leveled his nose in the same direction.
 Scents suthin'," said Bud.
 Ghost" whispered Abe and Pete in a breath. we jest seen one''
 Bud looked incredulous. Spot started up the stairs, cautiously at first, then in bounds. A second later he had pushed the door open, and. with wild yelps of delight, bolted for the attic. There was scurrying of feet, then loud bays and grunting squeals. fol- lowed by wrestling over the floor
 "Cal'lete Spot hes ketched th' ghost an is shakin' him." calculated Rud, showing considerable excitement for a champion hunter. Guess I'll go an see"

 "But have got to be forty years old." replied Mrs. Bowser, with blush and a sigh.
 Forty nothings! You may be forty as the years go, but no one would take you for a day over twenty-five. Tn fact, I often wonder that people don't take you for my daughter. Not day over twenty-five, my dear, and growing better looking all the time.'
 That's awfully sweet of you, but you must not make me vain. I thought heard the newsboys crying out some thing about an attempted assassina- ton. Has any one been seeking the presidents life again?' Don't attempt to switch me off, laughed MT. Bowser as he shook his finger playfully at her. T know what you are afraid of. but you needn't be.

MODERN RACE HORSES.
High Average of Speed That Has Beea Attained To in the Last Few
 Years.

The average race of 1903 was run hal second faster than in previous seasons Years ago when the Suburban and th. Brooklyn handicaps were created, thel were intended primarily to be endur. ance races, in which horses should talk, up strong weights and run respectable route at moderate pace, says Outing We once called those handicaps "dis tance' races. Now they are Sprint races-nothing less than that The pace is terrific. Five years ago horses sprint. ed six and seven furlongs. Last sum, mer they sprinted mile and a quarter taking the popular handicap routes at s pace that not many years ago woule have been that of quarter horse. The first of the great handicaps is the Metro, politan, mile at Morris Park in May Only those horses that are especially forward" in their preparation ma, start. So early in the year no great deed Is anticipated in the Metropolitan, anc yet the running in the season that ha. just passed was remarkable for the pace William C. Whitney's splendid four. year-old Gunfre was the winner after 2 terrific struggle, during which the clipse by the front runners was strain of tn. most trying sort. Alternately Gunfire carrying 108 pounds, and Old Englanc were leading with no great distance sep arating them at any time With tht field close at their heels they ran the first furlong in 12 3-5, the first quarter of mile in "A seconds, the three fur. longs in 35 Is seconds, and the half mils in 48 2-5, the five furlongs in 100 4-5, the six furlongs in 1:14 3-5, and the full mile out, Gunf1re beating Old England by g length and a half in 1:38 3-5.

He was simply "good," !" and he wanted to show that he was .good," and during the dinner hour he could hardly find words enough to make her understand that he had determined on a radical change. He praised the dinner, the cook and the grocer, and he even spoke in terms of praise of the farmer who raised the fried potatoes.

n Wary Eye OH the Chinese.
tBy the Associated Press.)


ST. Petersburg, May 5.--The effect
upon the Chinese of the disaster to
Russian arms on the Yalu is being
siderable apprehension. The Russian
government appears to be satisfied
with the situation for the moment and
Paul Lessar, the Russian minister at
Pekin is making daily reports to the
Foreign office. The report received
from the minister today contained
nothing diSquieting.
The Pekin government according to
Russian reports, seems to be acting in
perfect good faith and insists that it is
intent upon preserving neutrality. 1t
is turning a deaf ear to the appeals
of anti Russian leaders who want
China to throw in her lot with Japan
and is doing. all possible to suppress
anti-foreign agitation among the peO-
pie.
Nevertheless the Russian authorities
regard China as a powder magazine.
They realize the danger inherent in
the situation and the necessity for con-
slant pressure on the PelSin govern
ment.
The danger of an anti-foreign move
ment throughout the Chinese empire
exists not only for Russia. but for all
the powers, and Russia has at least
three times since the outbreak of the
war addressed the powers on the sub
ject the last time less than ten days
ago. The answers received uniformly
show full appreciation of the need
of exercising restraining influence on
Pekin and all the powers are co-ope-
rating to this end.
