One Upon a Time there was a Crowd of
Persons which Went to a Race Track on
Saturday, Hoping to Win Some Money.
And Each Member of the Crowd Talked
with Some other Member on the Way out
and Agreed that all the Races We're fixed.
Each did this to show what n Wise Guy
he was and that. While he was Willing
to Contribute a Little Something for the
Sake of Excitement. he Did it with His
Eyes open.
Every Man also said that he Didn't
Mind Losing, but-and there were So many

tia he Had Given the Impression to his
Neighbor that he was u Good Loser. he
kept thinking that This same Neighhor

They Also all Agreed that the Judges
were bad WordD thieves. But When the
Judge happened to Get IN the Same Car
all Tried to Nod to him and Post as al
Acquaintance of that Official.
And while Everyone Agreed that there
was no Use in Figuring Dope on Any OF
the Races. it Could be Noticed that the
Boys who Sold form charts looked as If
They Were Eating Three Squares a Day.
Also it was Conceded that one Horse
Stood out Stronglin in the Feature Race

largely the history of the Army of the Po-

write the history of that army without

claimed or intended to intimate that the
regiment constituted the effectiveness of
the army. The book is for the universal

have done their work well; the profes-

far as story-writing goes; and the history
is not to be questioned.
