BODY BLOW At RACING.
Western Union Will Not Furnish
Pool Rooms With
News.

New York, May 19.-Following his
action in disseminating to all subscrib-
'ers in this city report of the racing
at various tracks in this country, Col.
Robert Clowry has notified the general
superintendent of the company at New
York, Chicago, Atlanta and San Fran
cisco that the collection and distribu-
ton by the Western Union Telegraph
Company of horse trace reports would
be discontinued forthwith.
This order will result in the discon-
tinuance of what has been called the
racing department of The Western
Union company. This department has
collected and distributed racing news
froom all the various tracks in the
country to subscribers. Hereafter the
company will transmit only such mes
sages concerning races as are regularly
filed with it for transmission.
This business has netted the Western
Union = 900, 900 year, and its loss
means radical change in business
methods.
For the present Western Union of.
fees, as has been the habit in the past,
will be maintained at race tracks for
transmission of prepaid dispatches and
private dispatches, but these Offices
may be discontinued later.

Whenever l hear a person make a

housekeeper. and had heard me ex-
press wish for a particular kind Of
cake tin, so one day, having found one
on a shopping expedition. she bought
1t for me. 1t happened that my young
er sister, a very quick spoken. nnthink-
ing girl, came to call on her that same
day. and my mother-in-law brought
forth the tin. asking IL she wouldn't
like to see my present.
My sister however. understood that
it was one l had given to her, instead
of the other way round, and looking
at it critically, blurted out. well. I
don't think that is much Of a present.
Couldn't she think of anything better
than that""

my husband. who was present, could
not resist the righteousness Of it and

way you know. as Mary is just begin

was said and my husband rejoiced in
1t for many day. 1t was lesson to
my poor sister to sometimes think be-
fore she spoke.
There are so many of us that say
such things unknowingly. l wonder
