The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1906-12-29

Here is a poser, purporting to be
written from Wisconsin but past
marked at Duluth. "A young man
whom I like very much, has been
keeping my company for over year,
and shows a decided preference for
my society, but has never yet even
preached the question of marriage,
would 1t be proper for me to lead him
gently to the subject? Do you think
his intentions are honorable? He al
ways treats me with great consider
atom"
Answer. We are novice in love
affairs, we mean in the art Of giving
advice In such matters. But, you bet
ter possess your soul in patrince. and
he will come to the great question
by and bye You probably remember
the words of the old song: You men
are such geese only Beelzebub knows,
the trouble you give us before you
PROPOSE" Give him every opportunity
to pop the question: without SEEM
ing too anxious. Evidently, you have
him corralled, but don't hurry mat
tiers.

CREsCEUs AND KETCHAM.

st. Paul, Mimi. Aug. S.-Cresceus,
2:09 Ia, the worlds champion trot-
ting stallion, now owned by NJ. w.
Savage Of Minneapolis. who bought the
horse for $21 900 at an auction sale
in this city. has positively refused to
be trained or given any fast work by
E. c. Hersey, who trains for Savage.
The Minneapolis man is also the
owner of Dan Patch. 1856 IL. the pac-
ing king, and 1t was his intention to
exhibit the two horses throughout the
country at prominent race meets and
country fairs. Hersey figured that
Cresceus had more than an even
chance to reduce his record this year.
George H. Ketcham OF Toledo, O.,
who bred, owned and trained Cresceus,
received word from Savage recently
to the effect that Cresceus had refused
to be trained. and he asked Ketcham
II he would take trip to Minneapolis.
The latter promptly acceded to the
request. and upon reaching the Min
nesOta town Savage and Hersey ex-
planned the exact conditions to him.
Upon reaching the luxurious home
provided for Cresceus Ketcham went
to the stall door and it required but
one call of his voice for the champion
trOtter to recognize the man who had
driven him in his many wonderful per-
fOrmances, and the horse gave every
evidence of pleasure upon again see
ing ketcham.
After having the harness put on the
trOtter Ketcham got into the sulky,
logged him and worked him several
slow heats, the horse performing in his
usual prompt and cheerful manner
and apparently taking pleasure in
showing his former trainer that he
still retained the speed and manner

After giving Cresceus several heats
ketcham requested Hersey to take the
retns and work the horse mile, but
the latter had no sooner got into the
sulky than the great trotter refused to
be driven or led onto the track, and
he continued to sulk until Ketcham
again took the reins.
When Ketcham was asked to ex-
plain Cresceus' remarkable actions he
turned to Savage and said:
Il understand, MIR. Savage, that the
early years Of your life were devoted
to constant and strenuous toll, and
that year in and year out you devoted
all of your time to business duties
strictly. Now that you have acquired
sufficient means to enable you to
gradually withdraw from the more
active and exacting detail of business
life, how would you relish giving up
the present mode of existence and CO.
ing back to the labor and humdrum
of your earlier manhood?
"Cresceus, ever since his two-year-
old form, has had one of the most
strenuous careers of any harness
horse living, meeting and defeating
the crack trotters every year for five
seasons, repeatedly lowering the
worlds records, being shipped thou
sands Of miles from coast to coast.
He has performed over all kinds of
tracks and proved himself the gamest,
fastest, most consistent tr0tter that
the world has ever seen.
After seven years Of such perfor-
nance he went into retirement with
all the laurels that have ever been
accorded trotter, and to be asked to
step into the limelight of the trotting
world again and repeat what he con-
sidered was q matter of historic rec.
ord has undoubtedly influenced the old
horse to refuse"

The business men of Selma like the

the car famine which is troubling the
various railroads. The Southern Rail-
way at this point Is badly in need OF
cars in which to haul freight and every
car that tina road can use Is on the
road.
This lack Of cars Is the cause OF
great deal of inconvenience to the bus
mess men. It is also a source of great
worry to the railroad oficials. The
merchants cannot easily get cars In
which they have to ship out their
goods to their customers and 1t Is also
the cause Of their merchandise being
greatly delayed in reaching them.
The railroad officials here are doing
all that IL in their power to remedy
the evil as best they can. Every avail
able man that can be secured Is put

Southern Railway shops here, and they
are still looking for men to go to work

morning. an oficial Of the road said
that cars were~ being repaired in the

when finished they were Immediately
