james j. Hill, the railroad presi-

transportation business through
steamboating, but he soon deserted
it for railroading. The road which
he has since made SO widely known
was at that time considered the
slowest in the country. Mr.. Hill lis

was naturally poked at his road and
worked the harder to improve it.

street in St. Paul, Diamond Joe"
REYNOLDS of upper river steamboat

"Jim, I'll match one of my steam
boats against one of your trains in
a fair race for $500 a side"
"Well, | don't know" hesitated
Mr.. Hill. Some of your boats are
pretty fast"
Come; I'll race you upstream,
urged REYNOLDS.
"Oh, thunder," returned Mr.. Hill
in disguised tone. '1f you're 60

FOR The LITTLE ONES.
Presidents Children Give q Circus In
the White House Grounds.

The private grounds south of the
White House at Washington we're
the scene of a circus on a recent
afternoon. The performers were
Archie, Quentin and Ethel Roose-
welt and Archie's pony, Algon-
quin. The spectators were the
president, who watched the per-
formance through window of
his private office, and Mrs. Roose-
welt, who occupied a reserved seat.
The only other spectators were the
workmen who were cleaning up
around the grounds and few clerks.
The ring was pitched close to the
private lawn tennis court, where it
was screened from the street by a
high hedge. The performance con-
sisted chiefly of tumbling and of
bareback riding on Algonquin.
Archie rode standing up, with the
pony circling the ring at full speed,
and threw in many of the tricks
used by circus riders. He was the
star performer. Quentin was used
as the clown in the tumbling stunts.
The show lasted nearly an hour.
