AUTO ENDURANCE
RUN RULES ARE
CHANGED.
BY r.. r.. I'HoMMEDrEu.

The committee on runs and tours of
the automobile club Of California held
meeting yesterday and radically
changed the programme as proposed
for the run to Del Monte next month
1t was at first proposed to control the
event on the lines of the Glidden
tour, which was held over a thou
sand mile course. When the committee
met 1t was found that the rules of the
Eastern run would not apply to the
Del Monte affair.
The run to Del Monte is of much
shorter duration than the premier
event Of the East. The run next
month is not long enough to be called
an endurance run, but more of a
reliability contest. The idea of hay-
ing the cars put in one garage the
night before the start has been
abandoned. All that the owners will
have to do will be 70 appear at the
starting line between the hours of s
be given ten hours to make the trip,
including one hour for, luncheon The
hour for luncheon can be taken at any
place that may suit the convenience
of the owner. During the time the
car is at rest no repairs nor rear
rangements can be made. The cars
will be In charge of an observer desig-
..
All cars must carry their full com
plement Of passengers. If it is a tour
ing car designed to carry four passen-
gers there must be four in the machine
throughout the run. II IL is runabout
there must be two in the machine from
start to finish.
The scheme of having a pacemaker
will hold good as at first proposed.
The points have been changed. For
O1irfffa In,
tires or troubles of that order there
will be loss of one point. If the loss
OF time is from any other cause two
points for every minute that the car
is behind the required time will be
charged.
This scheme simplifies the ru. no.
ticeably.

B. Such is the opinion OF the Goldheld

II Cans and Nelson fight on the
square. the black man will walk away
with the contest" continued Jenries
And you can set it down that George

the game 70 get results that viii mean
straight fighting. So far as Nelson
and Cans are concerned as fighters. it
is like a superb race horse running
against a dray horse. Now il each

Now when all is said and done. Cans

might be well TO mention that If there

that Nevada country. The boys will
put up a straight fight. in my opinion.
because the conditions demand it. Cans
and Nelson know the situation at Cold
field just as well if not better than
some Of US who are not so closely inter
ested.
Nelson is strong and rugged. So
was Joe Walcott. He was capable of
licking any three OF the best light
weights in the same ring the night he
met Cans, and look what Cans did TO
him. Then again, see what Cans did

Dane. Mike is Nelson's master any day

How the American Thanksgiving
 Day is Kept in All Land.

kwA THANKSGIVING? This Is the
 greatest corn year, the great
 est oil year--petroleum--p
 ably the greatest vino year.
 though there the returns are not yet in--and the greatest hot air year in the history of the United States The hot air crop is now happily gathered and for that let us give thanks.
 The story of the evolution of Thanks giving day Is part of the history,of the growth and spread of the American people.
 You won1d hardly think it to look at us now, but the Puritan ancestors of the American nation were very pious. In the autumn of 1891 the first shipload of New England colonists were so glad it was no worse with them-consider- ing how they might have been Killed by Indians or starved through failure of their crops-thHt they. through their Governor. William Bradford. ordained a day of Thanksgiving and prayer. Every autumn thereafter such thanks giving day was kept in New England. It was an imitation in way of the harvest home, festival which is still observed In old England
 .8 <
 Extremely interesting 1t is to trace out how the Puritans gave to Thanks giving it's special dinner of turkey and pumpkin pie. The stiff old gentlemen in the tall hats and broad collars re- garded Christmas and it's observance as an invention Of popery, therefore abhorent and soul destroying. Any body who ventured to wish them 8 merry Christmas would have been in peril of the stock and Of church dis ciplining. Still, even these iron headed personages failed to crush out of them selves the natural human longing for an. occasional holiday and merrymak ing. albeit theirs was rather a saddish, ash colored merrymaking whose brand would not be recognized nowadays So the Puritan, fathers turned loose on Thanksgiving day all the feasting and joy that other Christian peoples put. into Christmas. A most important part of the New England colonists' faith consisted in knowing what not to do. sIn no way must the usages of the Church of England christnlas be pat tened after. fie'e,s

The Llttle Hurtn.

They say the world Is round. and ye I often think 1t square. So many little hurts we get
 From corners here and there. But one great truth in life I've found
 While iourneying to the " ssr-- The only folk who really wound
 Are those we love the best. Love does not grow on every tree
 Nor true hearts yearly bloom. Alas, for those who only see
 This cut across tomb! But soon or late the fact grows plain
 To all through sorrows test The only folk who give us pain
 kiC those who love the best.
