whose duty he thought he could per-
form. Pa selected the place of driver
Ofsthe Roman chariot with four horses
abreast, in place of the Irish Roman
who was accustomed to drive the char
lot in the race with the female char
ioteer, a muscular girl who used to
clerk in livery stable at Chicago.
The chariot race is a fake, because
il is arranged for the girl to win, so
the audience will go wild and cheer
ner, so she has to come bowling all
around the ring. The way the job is
put up is for the two chariots to start
and go around twice. On the first turn
the man driver is ahead, and takes
the pole, and on the second turn the
girls ahead, and she takes the pole,
and on the third turn the man is
ahead, and they begin to whip the
horses who seem crazy. and on the
last stretch the man holds his team
back a little and the girl passes aim
and comes out trifie ahead, and the
crowd goes wild.
Well, the master of ceremonies
coached pa about the business, and
told him what to do. They knew he
could drive four horses, because he
said he was an old stage driver, and
when he got in the chariot with the
Roman suit on cleaning with gold,
and the brass helmet and the cloth
of gold gauntles, and stood up like
a senator, gee, | was proud OF MIN,
and when he and the female drove
out of the dressing room and halted
by the door for the announcer to an
nounce the great Ben Hur chariot
race, | got into the chariot behind
pa and told him he must win the race.
or the people of STANTON would mob
him. For they knew these races were
usually fixed beforehand. but since he
was to drive one of the teams, all
his friends were betting on him. and
if he pulled the team and let that
livery stable lady win the race, they
would accuse him of giving them free
tickets to get them in the show and
skin them out of their money.
Pa said to me: This race is going
to be one in the square and you watch
my smoke. Do you think | would let
that read-headed dish washer beat
me? Not on your life"
The play is to have a little boy kiss
the male driver good-by, and a little
girl the female driver good-by. as
though they were taking lives in their
hands. | had climbed up to pa and

and gee, but didn't we fairly whizz
by the poles, and the audience looked
like a panorama.
Pa got the pole and kept it, and
we went around three times, and
found the female chariot ahead of us.

Talks with Farmers
By W. T.. MASSEY.
A Model Fertilizer Bulletin.

We commend to- the farmers of Yer
mont, Bulletin No! 116, recently issu-
ed by the Experiment Station at Bur-
IingtOn. A careful study of this vol
luminous bulletin will make the farm
ers of that State fully acquainted with
the composition and vale of CONNER
cial fertilizers, and with the quality Of
the ready made fertilizers offered on
their market. It,wOuld be we'll if the
Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington would publish for general dis
tribution a bulletin as full and accu-
rate as this. 1t would be of general
value to the farmers all over the coun-
try and would be. worth wagon-loads

broke the lines on the two inside
horses. and then it was a runaway for
sure, and the audience stood up on
the seats and yelled, and women faint

Finally the circus men grabbed
some hurdles and threw them across

drunk She has shown that she is "a
first-class power. Nobody can go
fooling round the far east if she shall
object to the way the fooling is done,
at least, it will be dangerous for any
body to do so. She has shown what
she/ can do in fight on land or sea,
and now sheistO show what she can
do in a hunt for the dollar. for that is
what the whole world is engaged in
at this time. Civilization is become
the art of making money. That is what
the British Navy is for. That is what
the German arr is for That is
what the American big stick is for.
That's why we, are in the Philippines.
That is what japan and Russia were
fighting about. That is what England
fought that miserable war against the
Beers for. That is why Germany is
at war with some of her "benevolently
assimilated' subjects somewhere in
Africa at this time.
The world forgets that one Michael
Angelic, one Beethoven one Cervantes
one Shakespeare, one MOliere, is worth
more to civilization than a hundred
victories like Waterloo, or Sedan, or
Yorktown or Gettysburg. Garrick was
worth moreto England than Coutts
bank, and Balzac was more to France
than Rothschild.
And Japan is preparing to enter into
this great game of making money, and
there are evidences that she is going
to prove a capable and fortunate
player twill be well if she shall only
claim such rights and privileges as
the other great nations agree to, but
if she shall conclude tho she may do

fortunately there are differences of

and even more unfortunately, there is
more radical differences of opinion as
to the policies to employ to insure a

square deal is the most difficult in
the world to invent and to pursue, and
that is as true in free America as 1T
