Wichita a Fast Track.

The talk that the track at Wichita,
Kan. is far inferior to the average
eastern tracks does not carry much
force with those who remember that in
the fall of 1899 Joe Patchen and John
r. Gentry met in race on it and that
the pair of great stations went the
fastest race over it paced by them that
season. Joe Patchen was the winner,
and, although he was not the horse he
was two years before, when he made
his record of 2:01A, he paced the
Wichita track in 2:03 and 2:021a. In
only one other race did Patchen beat
2:O3 that season. and that was in New
York, where he won heat in 2:02A.
That performance alone would stamp
the track on which Cresceus went his
great mile as one of unusual excellence.

History of the Three Balls.

the great London street for bankers. de-
rived its name from the Longobards, 4
race of rick bankers who settled there
in the reign of Edward II. and whose
badge, the three golden balls, taken
from the lower part Of the arms Of the
dukes of Medici. continues to this day
to be the sign of pawnbrokers-money
lenders. The balls on the rich crest of
the Medici were blue. and only since
the middle of the nineteenth century
have they, in the pawnbrokers' signs,
been gilded. The position of the balls
is popularity believed to indicate that

Smoker Pool,

Smoker pool is a new game that an
English champion in pool and billiards
is trying to introduce in this country.
In London the game has become a
popular fad in clubs and fashionable
private houses and has already at

here.
The new game Of smoker pool is
played with the twelve balls used in
ordinary English pool and the fifteen
balls of pyramid pool in addition. On

twenty-seven balls do not crowd the

Balm of Gilead.

The real balm Of Gilead is the dried
Juice Of low shrub which grows in
Syria. 1t is very valuable and scarce.
for the amount of balm yielded by one
shrub never exceeded sixty drops a
day. According to Josephus, the balm
or balsam of Gilead was one Of the
presents given by the queen Of Sheba
to King Solomon. The ancient Jewish
physicians prescribed it evidently for
dyspepsia and melancholia.

said: "Lyndc, what did You have

and no two critics can apparently agree
on the state OF which he was governor.
one saws IL IS very evident that Mon

Colorado is the only possible field for

can see that Kansas In the Populistic
period Is the locale OF The Grafters.
and no one save Mr. Lyrde's acauaint-
ance OF the grill room has hit upon tho
real governor and the real state.
