RACING WITH OXEN.
An Odd sport Popular In RurRi Dis
tricts In Germany.

trtctH IN 1srmhhys
In many of the out of the way dis
tricts Of Germany OK racing has long
been n very popular sport. The en-
trance fee for the races Is small. but
the beasts must be ridden by their own
ers. The rider is not allowed to have
either whip or spur. and he must ride
his animal bareback. trusting 10 his
voice To guide the beast. 1t is here
that the skill of the rider comes into
play, rs everything depends upon the
training Of the OK and the ability OF the
owner to direct his movements. As the
oxen do not race on track 1t Is no
easy matter 10 guide them. The race
course is field perhaps mile square,
the start being made at one side and
the finish at the other. Speed is OF sec
ondary Importance In the race. Like
golf the sport requires accuracy, and
the rider who can force his numbering
charger 10 go in straight line Is Ger
tain TO win
When all the competitors are lined up
Mt the starting point the signal TO begin
the race Is given. Then the fun com
mences. for In spite of the riders eff
forts the stccds usually refuse to head
toward the finish mark. Besides, the
difficulties are greatly increased from
the fact that the onlookers are allowed
to he In the field and may do anything
to Interfere with the contestants so
long AZ they do not touch him or the
beast Though oxen are naturally the
least excitable of animals, the noise or
the spectators soon reduces them to II
state of utter bewilderment. Often an
hour will pass before one OF the oxen
~ ridden under the wire. The victor
receives Il small money prize, which is
nothing compared to the honors
brought him by his victory, and the
animal Is decorated with garlands OF
flowers. Among the peasants great
events are reckoned from the time So
and-so won the OK raee.-New York

STEVENSON'S THEORY.


Scotland Yard would no doubt scorn
10 take story writer into its councils
as an American detective consulted X.
l.. Stevenson Arthur tombstone in his
Stevenson In the Pacific" tells the
striking tale. leaving you, however,
tantalZcd with The desire to know
what the ease was and what were the
respective solutions Of the professional
and the amateur detectives says Y.
r. London Weekly.
As they sat together one evening on
the vcranda Of an inn at WAIKIKI the
detective coHiidcd TO Stevenson case
Of extreme difficulty he had in hand
and also Is theory Of It's solution. AS
Stevenson hardly secAed to attend, for
lie sat looking drclhfTiy at the sea, the
detective left him to have Il chat with
the more responsive landlord.
On his return to the yeranda, how
ever, Stevenson suddenly reused him
self to say: 4 think have solved that
riddle Of yours. You see, its just like
writing a story If You - at II right,
it VIII work ont right Now, your theo-
'
never work ont. Let me give you my
theory Of the case. and then tell me
what you think of it.
The detective did moi ut first think
anything Of Stcvcnson's theory of the
case. 1t was daring even for II theory
and dangerous to work if ii did not
happen To come off. But on thinking it
well over. with Steyenson's shining
eyes fixed lntcntly on his face, the pro
fessional began to believe there was
something in it,
When Stevenson at last asked trium
phantly, "WeII?' he replied We'll, sir,
shall try your theory, but IL it doesn't
win you and | will lose between us the
thousand dollar fee | am to be paid for
Il conviction At this Stevenson laugh
ed and said, Sir il it doesn't win 1
will pay you the thousand dollars and
throw you the theory in for nothing"
But 1t won
