In automobile circles nowadays the chief
topic OF conversation Is the result of the
French elimination trials for places on the
team that will represent France in the
Bennett and Vanderbilt cup races. The
work of Thery in winning first place is
particularly pleasing to American autoists,
owing to the favorable impression which
he made last fall when competing in the
Vanderbilt race. According to reports from
the scene of the race the contest was
extremely exciting from start to finish
and the handling OF the cars by the
drivers almost marvellous. OF the twenty
four cars that entered the race fifteen fin
ished. The drivers included Girardot,
Heath winner OF the Vanderbilt race last
year; Teste Farman, Rigolly, Thery, the
winner; Caillois, second to finish Albert
Clement. Henriot, Vilemain, Hemerz Veg
ner Siez Stead. Edmond Gabriel, Rou-
giere, Duray, Fournier lie Blon. Lavergne
and Laperot OF these Thery, Caillois and
Duray will now compete in the Bennett
races on July 8, and will also form with
the fourth and fifth fnishers the team that
will compete in the Vanderbilt cup race
on Long Island in October. The American
drivers to meet the French, English and
German teams in the Bennett race consist
of H. II. Lyttle, B. H. Dingley and ].

The tennis handicap tournament which
opened at the Field club Saturday Is at
tracing the attention Of all Of the players
OF the city by the large list OF entries.
Most of the well known players Of Omaha
are taking part and considerable interest is
wrought up over the tournament. Several
championships are to follow in tho near
future and when the old war horses at the
game like Caldwell. Young. Woods. Du-
irene, Schneider and Haskell go after the
prizes the youngsters will have to hustle.
The spring was so backward and cold that
some OF the experts were a little slow in
getting out. but since they have donned
the 1annels and entered the lists there will
be something doing.

r. b. Wallace president of the North
End Golf club, thus talks of the links in
Miller park:
considerable interest is manifested in
the establishing of golf links In Miller
Mark. Sometimes the question has been
asked. Why public linksT My reply has
always been, Why not?' There are no
good arguments or reasons against them.
Golf is rapidly winning It's way into popu-
lar favor; II bids fair to take the Amer
ican people like the grip or an influenza

tennis. 1t is a game in which all ages and
all sexes may engage with profit. 1t is
vigorous game for vigorous people. The

There is such law. but It is only enforced

A club composed Of the owners Of autos
would be n very influential affair and could
accomplish many needed reforms. Already
this spring the auto owners, even without
any organization. have been able TO bring
about NEEDED improvements to roads that
all OF the horsemen Of the town have been
unable to get for years. Most Of the club
members are not at all In sympathy with
fast running, and most would like to SEQ
the law in this regard enforced. The
breaking Of the law by one or two makes
II harder for all. The club could be in a
position 70 work out the dlficulty between
the city and state in the matter Of licenses.
Mr.. Breen says that he is going TO enforce
the city ordinances and the state will en-
force its law, and where are you att
City auto owners are having a great time
in getting a state license so that their
state number and city number will be the
same and thus do away with the necessity
of having two numbers. Many OF the
state numbers have been given out and

trying to trade state numbers with a dealer
in the state who drew the number that
corresponded with Mr.. Frys city number.
A. b. MCGOWAN, representing an eastern
auto manufacturing company, was at the
Powell garage last week and told of an
interesting experience he had last month
in Oklahoma, between Bliss and Ponce
City officers at Ranch 10l had taken in
considerable Of money during the day from
buffalo hunt and otherwise. and they
concluded that the safest plan would be
to take It to Ponca City, about eight miles
away, for the night. DIR. II. e. Thomas,
a guest Of the ranch, gave the use of his
auto for the journey, and with MCGOWAN
operating and accompanied by w. G.. Maur-
ice of Hot Springs and George L. Miller,
the party started for the town. When
about half way and crossing a dry creek
lined with trees the party was suddenly
surrounded by horsemen who ordered them
to stop. For an answer Mr.. MCGOWAN sim
ply opened the throttle to his machine
and went speeding away at the rate OF
sixty per. DIR. Thomas had his cap shot
off in the mixup and this was the only
accident and the only result of the holdup
except to demonstrate new use for an
auto.

There met in New York a few days ago
the so-called foot ball rules committee" :"
originally constituted in 1896 by the Uni
versity Athletic club, which itself went out
OF existence some years ago. The commit
tee holds its session In private and gives to
the public only so much OF It's proceedings
as II deems wise. It met this year to deal
with some extremely important questiors
bearing upon the future of the game, which
In haphazard manner is intTusted TO its
care. 1t adjourned without accomplishing
any reforms save minor alterations of the
rules made necessary by the attempts Of
coaches and captains TO cheat or TO take un-
fair advantages. That there was even a dis
cussion OF the vital changes demanded did
not become known until A. A. Stagg, the
only representative OF the western colleges,
let out some information.

Hardly a game passes that one OF these
two rules is not violated one or more
times, and some of the pitchers are habit
ual violators of at least one of the rules.
The fact is that the rules are so stringent
that II they were strictly enforced the
pitcher would have to send out advance
notices before throwing the ball If he
wished to be within the regulations. The
umpire, recognizing this fact, hesitates to
call a balk on very evident breaches Of
the regulation. The umpire can, how
ever, enforce the rules more strictly If he
can spare the time from administering re-
Dukes, many of which are necessary to the
players. strict enforcement OF the rule
would help the game, not only in increased
base running. but also in the consequent
increase in fielding speed

Manawas yacht races were a grand sue
cess for every one but the ST. Joseph crew,
and they bad to return home on their
shields as II were. They were no mean op-
ponents for the sturdy boys OF the Rowing
association and were a factor in the races
at all stages. Especially was this true
when the wind blew strong, as their boat
seemed better suited for a stin breeze
When the high wind did come they met
with bad accident, when victory seemed
about to be theirs by the boat striking
tussock and capsizing. The St. Joe men
made splendid impression and It is hoped
that they will come after the cup again, as
they have signifed their intention OF doing.
Several races are planned for the glorious
Fourth among the many boats at Manawa
and some lively times are looked forward
to.

Massachusetts, on visiting the birth
place of Horace Greeley in Amherst

Power of Fashion.

Though we can neither tell whence
fashion comes, nor how, nor what il
will do next, nor why it was yesterday
one thing, today Is something else and
tomorrow will be different, nor why
1t always has been, is now and proba-
bly, always will be obeyed, it moves
steadily forward into that realm of
common sense where beauty and utili-
ty blend in perfect harmony and ever
keeps step with the progress of civil
cation and culture. No garment can
please the man Of refined and cultivat-
ed taste, however correct it may be IN
f3t, however well 1t may be tailored or
however excellent the materials may
be of which it Is made, unless it is
fashionable, even though it violates no
law Of art and Of itself Is thing Of
beauty, for without that indescribable
something that only fashion can give
1t is like flower without fragrance or
a tune without music.-Sartorial Art

Kofyea For BRIDES.

The custom of giving knives tt
brides was formerly common prac
tice, when it was fashionable for wo
men to wear knives sheathed and sus
pended from their girdles. A wedding
offered an opportunity Of presenting
something novel or ornamental in the
cutlery line, and frequent reference tt
such presents occurs in the plays of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
In the witch of Edmonton" 1G4S. fol
instance, the bride is described IL
wearing "the new pair Of Sheffield
knives, fitted to one sheath" A list
Of trlnkets usually worn by ladies
about 1860 includes girdles, knives
purses and pin cases. In Dekkers

says to her jealous husband:

1t is not always well to strut and
fret ones little hour upon the stage too
realistically. Macready, who threw
himself into his acting heart and SOUL,
used to tell funny stories about the eff
feet Of his easy, colloquial manner
upon the players collected for his COM
pany in small provincial towns. Once
in the play of William Tell" he turned
to one of these stupid rustics and put
the question, do you shoOt!" so natu-
rally that the man was quite thrown
off his guard, and, to his horror, replied.
"a little, sir, but I've never had Il go
with one of them crossbows." Another
time in "Virginius" he asked, do you
wait for me to lead Virginia in, or will
you do 500" only to be greeted unex-
pectedly by the actor who played Icil-
ius with. "Why, really, sir, / don't

"Who was the original Bluebeard"

'Who was the original Bluebeardr'
ssks a writer In the London Chronicle.
He continues: 1--WE owe the familiar
Bluebeard Of the pantomime to Charles
Perrault, the Frenchman who publish
ed in 1696-97 his immortal stories OF
'Bluebeard,' The Sleeping Beauty,
Little Red Riding Hood and 'Cindcr-
ella But it is very uncertain who. II
ANYBODY, was Perrault's NOEL for
Bluebeard. Some have suppoccd that
it was our Henry WILL, Others that the
tale is a lampoon upon the castle lords
of knight errantry days III general.
Perhaps the favorite candidate has
been Giles dc Rails, marshal OF France,
who was hanged and burned in 1iio
for an awful series Of crimes. during
fourteen years he was believed 10 have
kidnapped about 100 children. tortured
them, sacrificed them to the devil

bones in his castle grounds. Hut the
resemblance between his tale AMI Blue

English Fish Laws.

Fish, because Of Its tendency rapidly
to decompose, holds peculiar position
among foods. In England 1t Is the
subject of a special act Of parliament.
So long ago as 1903 men knew the evil
consequences resulting from eating
mackerel of uncertain post norton age,
so they passed an act providing that
except during the hours Of divine serv-
Ice this fish could be sold on Sunday.
That act has never been repealed.

AIRING A BED.

When airing bed place two chairs at
the foot, about two or three feet away,
then draw the bed clothes over them,
leaving the mattress bare, or, If you pre-
fer, place the bedding on separate chairs.
A certain very particular housekeeper
arranged two strong hooks in every one
of the bedrooms in inconspicuous
corners, opposite each other and about
five feet from the floor. In the morning
she hung the bedding over it to air for
about two hours.

Many women 60 to bed hungry-not
knowingly, perhaps, but after diversions
that have used up the food eaten at the
last meal. Hearty meals before retiring
are not to be recommended, though
some eat them without distressing re-
suits.
But there are light things, like warm
drink of beef tea, matted milk, or cows
milk, or even hot water, and light nour-
ishing biscuits, which will quiet those
clamorous little mouths in the lining of
the stomach and draw down the blood
from the head.
Don't eat in haste or without appetite,
because no good results from such a
course and the harm may not be far off.
One mouthful properly masticated and
leisurely swallowed is worth plateful
of bolted food, and if you have but one
minute for meal spend it upon one
morsel of food. Milk slipped is digesti-
BILE but when hastily swallowed taxes
the stomach more severely than do many
solid foods.
