Commissioner John w. Yerkes. of
Kentucky, is very modest in regard
to the latest reports that he is to be
given a cabinet position, but his
friends are confident that his abili-

dent and know that more able man
could not be selected for portfolio.
Mr.. Yerkes is an elegant gentleman.

Fiscal court up at henderson is
considering the adv.sabillty of pro-
viding drinking troughs along all
dha county roads at regular inter-
vals This might be a good plan in
McCracken. A little of the thous
ands of dollars wasted every year on
the county roads might be invested
i'm water troughs. The Cleaner thus
explains the plan: THE fiscal court
has under consideration the propr,ety
of establishing watering troughs on
the public roads of the county. II
is to be hoped the court will eonsid-
er the matter fucfher and take favor
abld action on the matter. The idea
is, at intervals of from five to eight
miles, on the main thOrou ghfares OF
the county to bore wells and with
wndmills pump the water into
troughs ON the roadside. The cost
would be small while tha pleasure
to man and beast would be great. If
court will erect few such watering
places on the roads most travelled, il
is believed theip popularity would be
such as TO cause their establishment
all over the county. Why not try a
few?"

gy swamp grass was a sour old Grip that
had been patched up for his minutes work
The tinkering had been done by one of the
trainers in on the frame-up, man who

so that nobody was afraid of it. There's a
law on the statute books now against nerv-
ing broken-down race horses-that is, cut
ting out the nerve of a broken-down leg to
make the leg impervious to pain - and
probably that was the last nerved horse to
face the starter a New York track.
1.-THE aged gelding was dumped into five
furlong sprint. and the plunger got his gang
of close mouths together and sent them on
their separate little missions to the near
and far cities where the pool room black
boards were up.
1.-The other horses entered In that five
eighths scramble were all sprinters Of high
degree, and SO the plunger and his people
had 1t ciphered out that there ought TO be
at least 100 to 1 against the old Grip.
And that's the way the nice little rig-up
stood up to the morning of the day when
the race was to happen.
Overnight Suds Were Heavy
ION that morning the plunger and riot
Gus gang of his pals had themselves
whisked out to the Gravesend track In
caloosh. They hadn't been to bed at all,
any OF them. The plunger wanted to take
a final peek at the old geding cripple be-
fore sending out the final word to his COM
missioners in the near and far cities as to
the putting down of the money.
Well the overnight suds were so heavy
in that plungers system that he just about
could get out of the hack when the stable
at Gravesend was reached, and his gang OF
roysterers were right behind him with the
zigzags.
THE trainer of the old Grip slouehed out
of the stable, munching the alfalfa cud, and
looking as innocent as COW.

There wasn't anything left for the train

The aged gelding. his legs done up in

solemnly blinking in the morning sunlight
He didn't look as If he could give his own
shadow decent exercise, much less keep

set in shape from years of hard campaign
ing all over the country. and the droopy

he needed them.
Yelled for the Junk Wagon.
There was a whoop from the pals of the
plunger. They wanted to know where the
junk wagon was. They kidded and strung
the plunger and pounded him on the back
and told him that he sure was picking up
a good eye for a race horse as he grew
older.
Every minute of this the plunger became
chiller with himself as to that big all-over-
