PREFER THE MEAT.
Poor Children, Unlike Their welI-4Ted Brothers and Sisters, Let Cakes
 and Candies Pass

What do you suppose it is at dinner given to the poor that the children like best?" propounded a young German town woman.
 Why, the cakes and fruits and can- dies, of course" promptly replied a young man who had several brothers and sisters at home, and thought he ought to know, says the Philadelphia Press.
 Not at all," the young woman an- swered. T always supposed as you do until helped serve the other night"
 Well. what is it?" somebody asked.
 Meat" answered the young woman: "meat of any kind or description, from roast turkey to cold beef You couldn't pass the plate too often They seemed to care little for biscuits or saI- ads, but it was more meat every time. heard one. little fellow matching an- other with the number of pieces he had eaten, and it was nine against seven. One wee little girl was ready to cry when the cakes came round She had eaten so much meat that she couldn't find bit of room for the cake, so got piece of pa,- per for her to wrap her cake in to carry home. Several of the little ones at once concluded to follow her example, and carried their cake and candies away with them"

out to the earth In racing spread and the riders chung low to the galloping colts, for they had started. 2e#.
 There they come" said Crane. Whats in the lead, Porter?"
 Porter did not answer. A man could have counted thirty before he said, "The Dutchman's out in front-a length-and they're coming down the hill like mad"
 Allis felt her heart sink. Was 1t to be the same old story-was there al- ways to be something in front of Luz cretia? . .G
 Where's your mare?" Crane asked. z
 His own glass lay idly in his lap. Though he spoke of the race, it was curi- ous that his eyes were watching the play of Allis' features. 4>
 Now she's coming." Porter's voice made Crane jump; he had almost for gotten the race. To the close-calculating mind it had been settled days before.
 They were standing now-every body was. ." ..a ..E-
 Now, my beauty, they'll have to gall lop," Porter was saying. '.
 They were close up, and Crane could see that Lucretia had got to the bay colts head, and he was dying away He smiled cynical1y as he watched Westley go to the whip on The Dutch man, with Lucretia half length in the leads Most certainly Langdon was an excellent trainer; The Dutchman was just good enough to last into second place, and Lucretia had won handily. What a win Crane had had!
 A little smothered gasp distracted his YNn 0F turning quickly he saw tears in a pair of gray eyes that were set in smiling face. T congratulate you, Miss Porter" he said, raising his hat. Then he turned and held out his hand to her father, saying, 'T'm glad you've won, Porter thought you would. The Dutchman quit when he was pinched."
 "1t wasn't the colts fault-he was | short" said Porter. "T shouldn't like to have horses in that mans stable l he's too good trainer for me-"
 ''You mean it's a case of strawber- ries?" questioned Crane.
 Well, I know it takes a lot of can- dies to find lost quarter" remarked Porter, somewhat ambiguously. Then he added, T must go down to thank Dixon; I guess th:s is his annual day for smiling"
 I'm coming, too, father" said Allis; T want to thank Lucretia, and give her kiss. brave little sweetheart"
 After Allis and her father had left Crane, he sat for a minute or two wait | ing for the crowd of people that blocked the passageway after each race to filter i down on the lawn. The way seemed clearer presently, and Crane fell in be- hind knot of loud-talking men. As he moved along slowly he presently had Knowledge of presence at his side--a familiar presence.

snow more about our own horse than we do ourselves"
 "I think myself thai. the gods are angry with us. Dixon,'' said Porter moodily; "and the mortals will be furi- ous, too. whichever way the race goes. They've backed the little mare at this short price. no doubt, an if she's beaten, they'll howl; if she wins they'll swear my money was on to-day, and that pulled her in the last race"
 John Porter sat in the grand stand with his usual companion, Allis, beside him, as The Dutchman, Lucretia, and the other Eclipse horses passed down the broad spread of the straight Eclipse course to the lve-and-a-half furlong post.
 Surely Lucretsa will win to-day, father-don't you think so?" asked Allis; T feel that she will"
 She's got big weight up," he an- swered She's a little bit of thing. and it may drive her into the ground coming down the Eclipse hill. expect they'll come at terrible jog, too; they don't often hang back on that course. But they'll have to move some to beat the little mares trial-they'll make it in record time if they head her, I think
 Isn't the horse that beat her the other day in, too father?" "The Dutchman-yes, but I fancy his ! owner is backing my mare" Father"
 "It wouldn't make any difference, 1 though; she'd beat him anyway. If I'm any judge he's short" | Allis felt rustic at her elbow as 1 though someone wished to pass be- tween the seats. The faintsst whiff of , stephanotis came to her on the lazy summer air. Involuntarily she turned her head, and Cranes eyes peeped at ! her over the stone wall of their narrow lids. He was standing in the passage | just beyond her father, now looking wistfully at the vacant seat on her
 left.
 Good afternoon. Miss Porter-how are you, Porter? May I sit here with you and see Lucretia win?"
 Come in, come in!" answered Porter frankly.
 Topping the rail in the distance, just where the course kinked little to the
 left, Allis could see the blur of many l colored silks in the sunlight. Then it seemed to hatten down almost level with the rail. as the horses brcadened

The Cherub waited for an explanation of these contradictory remarks But he might have waited indefinitely-Crane had quite finished. Then it came to Jakey Faust that there was nothing left to do but fill the Lauzanne column in his book with the many bets that would come his way and make much money
 Crane watched Lauzanne go lazily. sluggishly down to the post for his race. The walk of the chestnut was the in- different stroll of horse that is thinking only of his dinner
 They've given him nothing" the banker muttered to himself; ''the heavy headed butte won't try a yard. But he'll fight the boy when he tries to ride him out"
 The whisky that Dixon had surrepti- tiously given Lauzanne had been as in- efhcacious as so much ginger beer, and in the race Lauzanne drew back out of the hustle and clash Of the striving horses as quickly as he could. In vain his jockey used whip and spur; Lauzanne simply put his ears back, switched his tail, and loafed along, dozen lengths behind his field.
 In the straight he made up little of the lost ground, but he was securely out of the money at the finish. Fate still sat and threw the dice as he had for many moons-a deuce for John Porter anu < SIX {Ho tTo fBssi'e Be Gontinaed) ntfinsd)

VI. ss.
 The day of the race when John Por- ger went into the betting ring he was confronted with even money about his mare. He fought his way to the open of the paddock without making bet
 Even money!" calculated Dixon, when his owner told him of the ring situation: why, they're crazy. Who's doin' it?''
 Not the public" declared Porter, "for was there just after the first betting. It must be your friend Boston Bill that has forestalled us; nobody else knew of the mare's trial"
 Not on your life. MT. Porter; Boston plays fair. Dye think he could live at this game if he threw down his friends?"
 But nobody else even knew that we'd got good boy for the mare."
 It don't make no difference" curtly answered Dixon; tits a million dollars to 8 penny whistle that Boston hasn't dollar on yet. It's some one else. There's somebody behind that d-d SAngdon-he's not clever enough for all yhis. D'you know that The Dutchman's runnin' in Langdon's name to-day?"
 "He is?"
 "Yes; he's supposed to own him."
 But what's that got to do with Lu- cretia's price?"
 Tt means that we're going to be al- lowed to win. The other day they laid against her, an she got beat; to-day they're holding her out, so I suppose she'll win, but somebody else gets the benefit
 Cad! that Langdon must be a crook" muttered Porter I'm going to speak to my friend Crane about him again. No honest man should have horses in his stable"
 That they shouldn't" asserted Dixon. But we've got our own troubles to-day From what I see of this thing I'd rather back the mare at even money than l would if she was ten to one"
 T think you're right, Dixon. I'll go back and have a good bet down on her at evens."
 But in five minutes Lucretia's owner was back in the paddock with the cheerful intelligence that the mare was now three to five.
 T wouldn't back Salvador among . lot of cart horses at that price," com mented Dixon; leave 1t alone, an we'll go for the stake. We're up against It good and hard: somebody seems te

LIVING EASY.
Food May Re Had for the Picking in the FIJI IsIands-C1imate
 As EQuabIe.

No one can do justice to the soil or scenery of Fiji, unless he has seen both the natural beauties and the golden har- vests. The climate is eQuable; not op- pressively hot in summer and delightful in winter, 1t is botb healthy and pleas ant, and the sky Is always bright and the air remarkably pure. Never was there such lazy, happy climate as this, writes Oliver Bainbridge, in the Four-Track News. From the slow sailing clouds to the easy swing of the palms Nature moves languidly. There is no need for hurry.
 Food may be had for the picking, and clothes are unnecessary. Vegetation runs riot in the rich soil and sunshine. Fringed cocoanut sprays, with nut clus- ters at their base, broad banana leaves sheltering great punches of fruit; tan gles of peaceful ferns impenetrably thick. clumps of supple bamboo. lance ieaved mango trees heavy with purple and gold deliciousness-these and a thousand more delight the epicure and charm the artist.
