NEWS.
WAR TO THE KNIFE.
The Corrioan Interests Up Against a
Hard Game

HARD Game.
New Orleans, La: It has been an
nounced that the Western Jockey
Club will iraugurate racing at every
point where the American Turf AssO-
citation conducts meetings during the
entire term Of the approaching year
1906. This news was communicated
from official sources here and duly
confirms the suspected plan of cam
paign on the part Of the old turf gov
erning body. From now On the Celia
Condish-Bush Confederacy will "Blar-
ket" every move made by the Corri-
gan-BarneS forces. In centerS where
the Corrigan Sfactionists found no Op-
position last summer they will en-
counter a rival track this coming year.
1t is claimed the Celia forces will be
able to finally overcome opposition
when they so arrange matters that
Corrigan cannot run a money making
meeting. It is charged by the old
track that Corrigan is running City
Park on the profits accrued from the
spring summer and autumn seasons
at Cincinnati and Louisville, Ky.
Other prospective American Associa-
tion Jockey Club racing points in 1906
are Denver, Fort Erie, Cont, and De-
trOit Mich.

POTENT POWER OF LAUGHTER.
It Is the Most Glorious Gift Of all All
Wise Creator.

Some strains of laughter, heard in
guiieless youth, before care came 10
us, seem caught in the web OF mem
orv and will recur again and again in
he human heart, like the melody OF
:ong, that sounds up from childhood,
n the depths of ones being, says
Elizabeth Washington Writ in the
Kew Orleans Times-Democrat. VINO
would be without the benson Of laugh
tel! It is the glorious gift of an all
wise God and susceptible OF infinlt
culture. The first genuine music we
learn should be the gamut OF laugh
.er; once learned it is never forgot
zen and aids materially in the forma-
ion and discipline of character Moth
ing more swiftly disarms convulslve
passion of anger than the gamut or
laughter Try it the first time you
ind yourself swayed by tumultous
ovil having been inflicted or threaten
ed and the moment you feel 1t surge
through you, like a breaker, my word
FOR it, take a deep breath and laugh
he gamut; it will completely subdue
he senseless storm. 1t is a great VIC
.ory that comes without blood. We
we'll remember when we first discov-
cred the possession Of a temper like
lightning on a Damascus blade and
"ealiZed the only remedy to be in the
strenuous cultivation of womanly
amiability. The first resolution was
self-discipline from morning until
1ight and a VOW to write down how
often anger conquered per annum.

The Deserted House.

Now battered is the gate
And with creak it swings;
Fast crumbling is the great
Old house with gabled wings;
To all the ivy clings
And hides the mould and rust
That Time the tyrant brings:
The end of all is dust! ~
Here once did lovers prate.
Here, in the leafy springs
At dusk they fingered late
Intend on tender things;
All. vain imaginings!
Out of the past a gust
Its mournful message filings:
The end of all is dust!
Oh, irony of fate!
Once more the blossomings
Above the path await
The sound of tuned strings;
A bird it's rapture sings
A little voice Of trust;
Hark to the echoings:
The end of all is dust!
ENVOY.
Listen-the death knell rings!
Some day for each it must
Princes and clowns and kings:
The end of all is dust.
