James L. Sullivan, secretary of the

has done more to purify sport in Amer

Whenever Mr.. Sullivan mi handi-

The latest scheme of the department
is to send out scientific yet popular ar
ticles on physical training for whole
sale consumption. The philosophy back
of this scheme is that the more per-
sons aroused to the need of properly
caring for the body, the greater will
be the opportunity for the development
of the spiritual in the country.
How the Mind Is Cared For.
While the educational idea originated
in England, 1t ives its development and
present status to American efforts.
The first educational work in this coun-
try was done in 1866 in the Twenty-third
street branch of the New York association.
Peculiarly enough, three or four classes
were instructed in Greek and Latin. Now
almost anything that will aid a man to
earn a livelihood can be studied in the

Advice to Policyholders.

An official statement, signed by
Governor johnson. Attorney General
Young and Insurance Commissioner
O'Brien. issued to the policyholders
of the New York and Mutual Life
Insurance companies, declares that
for years the officers Of the companies
have managed al elections as if they
were proprietors. and refused policy
holders part in these elections: refers
to the scandals that were exposed by
the New York Investigation; upholds
the work of the international policy
holders committee, and endorses its
ticket and advises:
eve would urge upon each policy
holder in these companies that he
give no proxy to anyone. The law
places IN his hands ballot which he
should use to fertilizer his own best
interests, and TO secure the fullest
benefits to his family. This we be-
lieve will be done by voting for the
policy holders candidates. If under
any misapprehension he has already
given his proxy. he can still vote by
ballot as the ballot cancels the proxy.
The polls close on Dec. is. Every
policyholder should vote for the pur-
pose, at least. Of making clear the
fact that the policy holders are inter-
ested in the management and control

Ore Shipments.

The cold weather of the past week
has materially reduced the movement
OF iron ore from the mines to. the
docks and despatch will be more or
less uncertain from now on. The
weather turned little warmer early
in the week but it was still freezing,
and the ore shipping interests do not
look for much more favorable condit-
ions during the balance OF the season.
The weather is not severe enough to
paralyze the ore shipping, but is suf-
ficient to reduce the volume by max
ing the handling difficult and slow.
Another thing that reduces the vol
ume of ore is that the roads do not
dare to fill the pockets at the ore
docks and take the cha nee of the ore
freezing there before boats can take
it away. The ore shippers are very
thankful, however, for tue first ten
lays of November, when the weather
was favorable for large operations.
But they would have appreciated ten
days more just like 1t. This would
have insured an extraordinary move
ment of ore for November, but unless
winter actually sets in before the end
OF the month the movement will
doubtless be new record.
The shippers are even now having
a great deal of trouble with frozen ore
and at this time Of the season the
weather conditions are bound to be
uncertain. The ore shippers for the
past few years have grown to expect
to SHIP some ore during the first week
in December every year. and they
hope to be able to this year.

What Kindness Did for q Bad Horse

49, Third Prize.
s. When my father was about Is years
old he became very anxious to have
horse. This seemed very improbable,
as. he was working on a railroad in
eastern Ohio for Sc a week. How
ever, he persisted and after a years
hard work, he had $50. No horse of
except q large black stallion named
Lincoln. He was popularity known as
Daniels mad stallion. Father had not
saved for year to be daunted by any
horse. mad or sane,a and so he offered
$50 for Lincoln and saddle and bri-
die. His offer was accepted by Dan
iels with such dire prophecies concern
ing his madness that father was tempt
ed to turn back. But it was too late.
So he entered the stall, put on the sad
die and bride without the horse acting
up. He mounted carefully, patting and
speaking kindly. But no sooner was he
seated than the horse, with a terrific
bound, completely cleared the fve-foot
river with the speed Of the wind
Father managed to keep to the saddle
and spoke kindly to him, not using a
whip as former riders had, done. The
horse seemed surprised at this. And
when father had ridden seven miles
the horse was a different animal than
the Lincoln Of yesterday. His eye had
lost the old sullen CLEAN. And after
father had ridden him a month he
| was as gentle as any horse in that part
Of Ohio. Father always maintains that
| it was his kindness in that first ride
that changed him from the. worst horse
| In Ohio to the best one. A few year:
later he was burned to death in his
i
/ horse more sincerely than father.

Last summer, while on my way to a

cries. I stopped and listened, but could
not tell where the sounds were coming
from. After while I walked back
and soon found out that the cries were
coming from the sewer. By this time
a large crowd had gathered around.
"Some one will have to 60 down in

one did not want to volunteer to go.
Seeing the people gathered around
there, boy passing by, stopped to find
out what the matter was. "Somebody
who wanted to get rid of a puppy has
put him down there said a man
pointing to the hole. That was enough
for the boy. He took off his coat and
started down into the dark hole. In few
minutes he was back again with a wet
little puppy in his arms, and amid the
cheers Of the crowd, he carried the lit
