THE FASCINATION OF DARING
Spirit of Adventure Makes Reckless
ness Pleasure.

ness Pleasure.
II is not probable that the accident
by which daring automobile racer
and his mechanic lost their lives
while speeding on the Ormond course,
will prevent others from indulging in
this hazardous recreation.
The risk involved in automobile
racing is one of the reasons for it's
great popularity among venturesome
men. Were there no danger to the
occupants of the cars there would be
little sport in the experience.
Riding to hounds, steeplechasing,
football and many other outdoor sports
cannot be pursued without danger, but
this does not act in any way as a
deterrent to those interested in them.
Great as is the satisfaction felt by
the winning contestants over their
success in the field, the desire for pre-
eminence is not the only cause that
leads men to engage in dangerous
pastimes. The spirit of adventure,
the love of excitement for its own
sake, the instructive rebellion OF many
minds against the humdrum, common
place existence of most of us mod
ems, operate to make danger and risk
attractive.--New York Sun.

New Equipment on the Santa Fe.

An order for some new equipment
was placed the other day by the Santa
Fe. 1t comprises rs locomotives, $500
freight cars and so passenger coaches,
and postal cars, all to be delivered
within the next four months. Fifteen
of the new engines are Atlantic type
balanced compounds, thirty Pacific
type balanced compounds and thirty
Santa Fe type. This big expense, ag-
lgregating more than $5,000,000, is in
,curred in order that growing traffic
may be promptly handled. Present ia
,ciiities are ample for today's travel
and shipments; tomorrow they may
mot be sufficient. The Santa Fe looks
ahead: that is why it gets the business.

give them ten cents for can Of hot
water. They looked at him as II
they thought he was crazy, He raised
the ante to a quarter. Then one OF
the boys asked him IL it wasn't a can
of beer he wanted.
This was too much for the man,
for he is strictly temperance. and II he
had not been, the thought of patroniz'
ing a saloon on Sunday would have
been utterly abhorrent. So he took
up his tramp again.
The umbrellas weight seemed to
increase with every step, until the
man felt as if he was literally carry
Ing the roof of his house over his
read. He got out his jackknife and
tried to scale the ice off, but could
not accomplish much, so afraid was
he of cutting through the cloth.
Once he was on the point of Slit
ting the cover and removing 1t to
throw into the gutter, but a glance at
the gold handle deferred him. There
was an inscription on the handle, tell
ing how the umbrella had been pre-
sented by body of grateful employees
The man knew that his whole fac
tory looked to him to carry that UNI
brella on every stormy day apd that
to appear at the factory on the next
rainy day without it would make talk.
He wished the umbrella was any
where but where it was, and had he
been a swearing man he would have
cursed the luck that made him take
that particular rain shield from the
stand in his hallway when he started
out.
When he got within quarter OF a
mile of his home the umbrella seemed
to weigh at least fifteen pounds. He
was fairly out of breath and desper-
ate He knew when he got home
he would be no better of than he
was out of doors, for he could not get
the thing into his house and his house
has no areaway along which he might
have carried it to the back yard.
Just then he saw a CLEAN of warm
light over the green curtain hung in
a saloon window. He hesitated. Then
his eyes fell upon the sign side En-
trance" upon a door.
The door was double. lie pushed,
in fact half fell against it, and both
sides fell open. His qualms of con-
we're stilled now, and he
marched, dragging his icebound UNI
brella behind him.
The few men in the saloon looked
up in surprise when they saw him
enter, and there was a faint attempt
to escape, for the men recognized
him as prominent church worker
and they feared he was out on a lit
tie tour of his own to gather informa-
ton against violators of the Sunday
law. But the man pulled himself to-
gether sufficiently to say that he had
sought a warm place in which to
thaw out his umbrella, and the bar
tenders and every one else saw that
he was much more uneasy than they
were, so they let it pass
In less than three minutes the ice
slid from the umbrella in great sheets
and the man gave the head bartender
a quarter for the muss he had made
On the. floor. He says that was the
most uncomfortable walk he ever took
IN his life, and that the next time

storm he'll wear a macintosh and let

WHERE TARpoN ARE FOUND.
Game Fish Wanders over immense
Stretch of Waters.

That great game fish, the tarpon,
says a writer in Field and Stream, is,
after all, creature of rather mystic
rious habits. It seems first to have
been discovered as game fish on the
east coast of Florida. Much more re-
Gently, it was taken In the neighbour
hood of Pensacola. Then came the
prodigious reports from Arkansas Pass
and Corpus Christi, Tex. Lastly, a
few fortunate and adventurous an
glers brought out the greatest tarpon
stories of all from the relatively little
known town of Tampico in old Mexi-
co. Thus 1t is to be seen that the
tarpon is found at one time of the year
or another along a tremendous strip
of coast country, even wider than Che
shores of the Gulf of Mexico. It's
breeding grounds seem to be well to
the southwark, and 1t seems to move
north as the lower waters become too
warm for it. BY midsummer 1t is we'll
all over the middle gulf country and
Texas It's migration, If 1t have any
DEBATE migration, has never been
closely charted, but that 1t does move
from the Mexican to the Florida coast
and back again may be accepted as
the truth or something closely parallel
to the truth.

Made Social Exile
and Out(aSt
by his Umbrella

This is a faithful narration of the
adventures of a Newark man VINO
vas, for a time, made a social exile
IN outcast, by his umbrella. All doors
Fat he approached we're closed to
nm, even those of his home. II hap
ened in this wise.
The man works hard on Saturdays,
ute into the night and when he
arises and breakfasts on Sunday
IL feels the need of outdoor air This
'ir he will have, no matter what the
Weather.
He was seen two or three weeks
go knee deep in the snow, founder
ng stolidly along, bent on getting his
exercise and driving the flag and cob
webs from his brain. But last Sun
lay 1t was raining, an icy sleet filled
he air, and the man raised his UNI
rella and the little pellets battered
IN 1t like the rain on the garrett roof.
After he had gone a mile or so he
brella was getting tired. He was
nervous man and he wondered If he
vas developing rheumatism or if in
cipient paralysis was upon him.
The lameness soon extended
throughout his arm, even unto the
shoulder, and at last the man realiz-
ed that the umbrella was getting very
heavy But he went on with his
walk. since no bodily discomfort
could divert him from his con-
stitutional.
At last the man could not hold the
umbrella in his hand and had to let
the shaft rest upon his shoulder Still
he plodded stubbornly on, until he
reached the outskirts of the city. Then
he thought he would take a car back
to his home, and that was when his
troubles really began.
He hurried over to car with his
umbrella sagging about his head, his
progress much impeded by its weight.
He put one foot on the car step and
started to let down his umbrella. He
wrestled with it until the conductor
said some harsh things, gave the
motorman the bell and left the man
standing in the street wrestling with
the umbrella.
1t had as complete roof of ice as
any Esquimau's house in the farthest
North, or anywhere else. The roof
glistened as if made of glass. The
man exerted all his strength, but the
ribs simply bent under the strain and
the coating of ice was not so much
as cracked.
The man strobe on for a few
blocks, thinking He came to a lit
tie notion store where they sell news
papers, and thought he would go
inside and thaw out the umbrella. but
after an Intellectual struggle to get
inside the door he gave it I'D and
walked on
The situation was getting serious.
He tried another place, a harbor of
refuge, as it was a Sunday school
and the children within were singing
Joyous hymns that brought him a
feeling of comfort, as if here at last
le would surely find help out of his
odd misfortune.
But here again he could not enter.
rhere was no double door and the UNI
'rella absolutely refused to be crush. |

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CAT

Household Pet Has Many Traits That
Are Almost Human.
Cats dread death terribly. l had a
nefarious old cat, Gyp, who used to
open the. cupboard door and eat any
biscuits accessible. Gyp had stroke
of paralysis, and believed that he was
going to die. He was in fright Mr..
Horace Hutchinson observed him. and
said that this cat justly entertained
him to most painful Calvinistic appre-
tensions of the future reward. Gyp
was nursed back into health, as was
proved when we found him on the roof
of an clubhouse with cold boiled
chicken in his possession. Nothing
could be more human. Cats, like
many wild beasts, wish to die alone.
A lady of my acquaintance met in a
lane in Kensington an old, dying cat,
resolutely lettering northwards. She
knew that he knew he was dying, and
she knew where he wanted to go. Be-
side the lane is a place not built over,
within palisades, and all overgrown
with dock and burdock. So she picked
the cat up, despite the remonstrances
of a workingman, for a sick, strange
cat is mot to lippen to-" She carried
him to hole in the palisade, and he
crept in for the. purpose he knew--sol-
itude and death. Some cats are snobs,
though not so many cats as dogs share
this human ipfirmity. A lady had two
cats; one was a drawing room cat,
the other a common kitchen cat.
Both, simultaneously, had families.
The drawing room cat carried her kit
tens downstairs, to be nursed by the
common kitchen cat. but every day
she visited the nursery several times.
She was not quite heartless, but she
had never read Jean-Jacques Rous-
seau, on the nursing of children, and
she was very aristocratic.-Lon
