There is no more powerful autocratic
body than the Jockey club, who control
the welfare of the English turf with laws
which are as inexorable as those Of the
AIedes and Persians. There is absolute
ly no appeal from the decisions of this
turf senate, which, although a self-con-
stituted authority, exercise extraor-
binary powers. They infict heavy fines
for contravention of their cast-iron
rules, and these penalties are always
promptly paid. They warn prominent
.personages on the turf, and this is really
an extremely severe punishment which
carries with it automatically banish-
ment from participation in racing in

THEY READ THE ADS.
A Queer Mistake Caused Consider
able Excitement

In yesterdays Daily Chieftain a
mistake occurred in one Of the large
advertisements; the name of Wright
Milford Snoe o., was placed under
Badgett-Sanders' advertisement.
Just how the mistake happened to
occur is not known except that bus
mess was very rushing in the office all
day, the ad man had his hands full,
and the error slipped passed on the
blind side of the pressman. 1t brought
us one consolation, however the
vivid realization that the Chieftain
subscribers read the daily advertise
ments. The mistake was not noticed
at the office until the carriers had
gone out on their routes and then the
central girl got busy with A., and
from that on until 630 they kept it
up. Whats the matter with Bad
gett-Sander's ad?" 'sThat bad
break you made in B-S's ad. /" whats
the matter with you fellows up there,
must have been down to Oklahoma
City? You don't mean to say that
Wright Milford are selling Knox hats
do you?p
The last one to call up was lady.
Her voice was soft and cultured, but
her lady-like tones were tinctured
with sarcasm and anxiety as she said:
"For pity sakes, are Wright Milfords
selling millinery too? / don't think
its fair, and I'd like to see a hat that
they had-Oh, mistake is it? Well,
/ claim that's dinger." And so it
went on. 1T turned out that both
firms got more advertising out of it
than if the mistake hadn't happened,
but it required considerable talking
to get the matter Strengthened out.
