KENTUCKY DERBY RUN IN
A SEA OF MUD.

Agile, Capt. S. S. Browns fine
colt, won the Derby, at Louis
vile, on Wednesday, over Capt.
Jim Williams crack goer, Rams
horn, and Layson, in the slow
time of 2:108.
The track, owing to heavy rains,
was veritable sea of mud.
The race, of course, was disap-
pointment, owing to the condition
of affairs.
Twenty-Five thousand people
witnessed the race.
Layson was only put in to win
third money.

among business men who want to
know what there Is in II for me. Watch
the motions of the frenzled fnanciers

by wholesale swindling they make
their millions" That Is all true. But
II Is not true that this whole nation
Is going to the dogs. Not every man
will stamp all higher considerations
under his feet for his greed of dollars
There are multiplied thousands who
care more for the public good than to
he rich. There are the educators. They
work for Il mere dole In order to ci,i.
cate the race. There are the ministers
Thousands of them live on a pittanct

selves to science ana to art for the
sake of humanity. Thousands give
their best thought-and some Their
money--to public parks and libraries

less. Surely the mad race for dollars
on the part of some is Il bad tendency
| But--the mass of the people are all
right. They are not less honest. less
brave or patriotic than their fathers
Devotion to family and to church and
state is still strong in them. Despite
abuses and wrongs the American peo
pie are making progress. They are
growing wiser, more charitable, more
brotherly. A nation that Is rotten a,
the core cannot make that sort Of pro

at S3.l54. and only higher level of
prices prevented Il gain over the total
of the previous year, The imports of
soap, bar and toilet, into the same
port in 1903 were valued at nearly
SD 900. and the figures for previous
years show a steady growth. Last

Acting in defense Of his sister from
alleged brutality on the part of her
husband Harry Duckworth shot five
times at his brother-in-law, Sherman
Rhodes, last Thursday night. None of
the shots took effect. The parties con-
nected with the affair live in the east
part of town near the slaughter house.
Because of alleged abuse of Mrs. Rhodes
by her husband there has existed bad
blood between the Duckworths and
Rhodes. Duckworth took his sister to
his home Wednesday. Thursday night
Rhodes called and demanded his wife
and the shooting took place. Informa-
tion was filed against Duckworth but
when the officer went to make the ar
rest he found that the man and his
sister had fled. 1t is thought that they
went to either Kansas or Nebraska. 1t
is not likely that any attempt will be
made to apprehend the fugitives.-

A horse that is fast walker does
not have to trot so fast. Did our boys
ever notice that? Well, it is much the
same with boys. A boy who walks
right up to and with his work-keeps
abreast with his duties has much more
pleasant time than the one who is always
tagging to the rear. A boy must in
some shape or other, do his share, and if
he persists in poking along whenever
the eye of the instructor is on some
thing else he must be made to trot to
catch up with the fast, even walkers
who finds his work easy and pleasant
because he never allows it to get ahead
of him. Take lot of boys together
and the fellow who tries to do the least
has much the hardest time of any. The
boy who has the easiest time is the
