ORIGIN Of Ancot Races.

When did Ascot races begin? They
are mentioned in the first Racing Cal
endar," published in 1927, and the
usual statement is that they were
founded by the Duke of Cumberland,
uncle Of George III. But an entry in
the accounts Of the master of the horse
In 1712 suggests that they were found
ed by Queen Anne on Aug. 9, iii. The
truth, no doubt, Is that Ascot races,
like many other august Institutions,
gradually developed from germ, so
that 1t is difficult to say when they
really began. At any rate, they were
quite the sort of thing that enthusiast
of the turf, Queen Anne, would have
founded. She was a thorough Stuart
in this passion. 1t was her great
grandfather, James l., who encouraged,
If he did not establish, horse racing in
Scotland and popularized 1t In Eng
land.-London Chronicle.

Forests, Unnatural Death.

The life of nearly all forests is cut
short by fire or by the hand of the
lumberman. When spruce forest is
entirely destroyed by fire young
spruces do not at once spring up and
cover the burned area. The seed bear
ing cones have been burned, and the
spores and seeds of other plants which
are readily carried by the wind find
their way in first. The task of prepar-
ing for the forest is begun again, but
this time it is to be shorter one. The
first year after the fire mosses and
often tiny Towering plants appear.
These are replaced by the hreweed
and other flowers whose seeds are pro-
vided with hairs so that they reach
such places quickly. These are soon
Joined by raspberrles. roses and other
bushes. Among these the young seed
lings Of aspens appear in a very few
years. The latter grow rapidly and In
a score of years form low sunny for
est. An aspen forest makes a brilliant
contrast with the dark green forests
of spruce.-St. Nicholas.

Keen Sense of HumOr.

"There is nothing like a sense of
humor," said a naval officer, according
to the Philadelphia Bulletin. "In a
woman, in n soldier, in sailor, in a
clerk, a sense of humor Is help and
a blessing through life. At the same
time even a sense of humor may exist
in excess. l, for my part, shouldn't
care to have so great a sense Of humor
as a British soldier l once heard about
This soldier was ordered to be 1ogged.
During the fiogging he laughed con-
tinually. The lash was laid on all the
harder, but under the rain Of blows the
soldier laughed.
"'What are you laughing atr the
sergeant finally asked.
"'Why,' the soldier chuckled, I'm
the wrong man."

There are held here many "connden-
tial weddings" as they are called
when the ceremony Is kept unusually
quiet. But sometimes they are too con-
fdential to please the relatives OF the
parties. The coercion of prospective
brides under such circumstances Is
proceeding we'll authenticated In fact
and fiction. A kidnapped bridegroom,
however, is unusual, though he hap
pened at st. Georges not long ago.
He was a gentleman of position, and
he wished to marry lady who had
nursed him through an illness. There
was no cause or just impediment save
social rank. The gentleman was de-
termined, and the lady seconded his
plans admirably. But the day and the
details leaked out, and before the time
fixed the bridegroom's male relatives
deployed strategically through Mad
dox street and surrounded the church.
He drove up in a hanson cab. With
his eyes fixed on the expectant bride,
he prepared to alight. An athletic un-
Gle and brother sprang forward,
thrust him back, with a "Glad to meet
you, old fellow" manner that deceived
the cabman, who obeyed the quick di-
rection he heard and drove the three
away. The lady, with tears in her
eyes, went into the vestry. There
will be no wedding" she said.
They've run away with him" And
that was the last st. Georges heard Of
them.-London Mail.

An Arab FIshinE Yarn.

A fishing yarn from Algiers: Some
Arabs were fishing from a boat with
lines of the coast when a dolphin sew
enteen feet long, eleven feet in circum-
ference and weighing four tons swal-
lowed one OF the balted hooks and
dashed off at a tremendous speed. The
fishermen paid out as much line as
possible and then made it fast. This
brought the dolphin up sharply, but
the strain snapped the line. The mon
ster then attacked the boat and cap
sized 1t, flnging the fishermen into the
water. Other Arabs ashore waited till
the dolphin was clear of the men and
then killed II with rifles"

LETTER FROM
OKLAHOMA.
Kentucky Boy, Launched in the
Far West, Writes Back TO
Old Friends.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. 30
Dear Readers and Kentucky
Friends: In the course of events
there come moments when all of
US have to depend upon our own
short-sighted minds and take steps
which lead into the hazy future
steps which, when once taken,
form a corner stone in the life
which is to follow.
On the last day of summer came
such a decisive moment to me. l
was through of law school and a
member of the Kentucky bar,
though my legal education was of
little value to me, so long as | al
lowed it to remain inactive.
Two fields lay before me. In
one were friends, a developed
land. well established institutions,
q settled condition of affairs, and
the finest system of society under
the stars. In the other were
feeble institutions, an undeveloped
country, no person whom might
call friend, a huctuating society,
and chaos still struggling to retain
its hold. / considered many times
over the outlook, but finally
launched my frail craft into the
Southwest, not knowing where l
would land; taking no letters of
introduction, and having only one
acquaintance in all that vast coun-
try.
A round trip ticket would have
been but slightly more expensive.
But no, the bridges must be burned
behind. else when the certain re-
verses come they offer too con-
venient means for a retreat. This
step may have been wrong, and
may have to be retraced, but if it
is, it will bring back a new indi-
vidual. an individual that has prof
tied by the passage of time and is
able to form a greater factor in
the welfare of his native state.
After an oft-repeated sigh and
regret that | had not remained
nearer the parental home, |
reached Fulton, at the border of
the old ,tate, took supper with a
friend, and proceeded on through
our sister state, Tennessee. A
days journey then across the
swamps and through the hills of
Arkansas brought me into the
Choctaw country, where, instead
of the wild Indian upon fertile
prairies, were a few Arkansans
living in the worst of cabins, try
ing here and there to dig a living
out from between the rock in the
narrow valleys that occasionally
bordered the streams. This was
along the Midland Valley road,
that. | think, deserves that rhe
name, "SIow Train Through Ar
kansas should be taken from the
Rock Island and conferred upon
t, a large portion of it lying in
Arkansas.
After being in the Indian coun-
,ry an nour the land began to i'm
prove: but Ohl how slow, so great
was the Improvement necessary
before it could be inhabited by the
practical farmer.
BY O'clock Monday we reached
the Canadian river and for the
first time realized the truth of the
tales we had heard of herds of cat
tie suddenly sinking beneath its
treacherous sands. But the sus-
pense while the train was passing

A little Philadelphia boy was taken
by his father for his first visit to the
zoo. Stopping before an inclosure, he
asked, Papa, what animal is that2"
Reading the sign tackled up to one
side, his father responded, THAT, my
son, is a prong horned antelope"
"Kin he blow his horns2" was the
question that promptly followed.
