as possible and worked his upper lip
inquiringly. The smell Of the oats
lured him on. Hardly had he touched
his nose to the grain before the meas
ure was dropped, and he found himself
roughly grabbed by the forelock. In a
moment he saw the hated straps and
ropes. Before he could break away
the halter was around his neck and
buckded firmly.
Farmer Perkins changed his tone:
Now, you id ugly little brute, I'VE
got you! [Jerk.l Blast your wicked
hide! [Slashl You will, will you?
[Yank.] I'll larn your [Slash.]
Man and colt were almost exhausted
when the "lesson' was finished. 1t
left Blue Blazes ridged with welts,
trembling, fright sickened. Never again
would he trust himself within reach Of
those men-no, not if they offered him
whole bushel of oats.
But it was a notable victory. Vaunt-
ingly Farmer Perkins told how he had
battered the vicious colt. He was I'M
conscious that pair of ripe gooseberry
eyes turned black with hate, that be-
hind his broad back was shaken a
futile fist.
The harness breaking of Blue Blazes
was conducted on much the same plan
as his halter tanning, except that during
the process he learned to use his heels.
One Olsen, who has since walked with
a limp, can tell you that.
Another feature of the harness break
ing came as an interruption to further
bull whip play by Farmer Perkins. It
was highly melodramatic episode in
which LATE, gripping the handle of a
two tined pitchfork, his freckled face
greenish white and the pupils of his
eyes wide with the fear Of his own
daring, threatened immediate damage
to the person of Farmer Perkins unless
the said Perkins dropped the whip.
This Perkins did More than that, he
fed with ridiculous haste and in craven
terror, while LATE. having given the
trembling colt parting caress, quilted
the farm abruptly and for all time.
As for Blue Blazes, two days later he
was sold to a travelling horse dealer and
departed without any sorrow Of fare
wells. In the weeks during which he
trailed over the fruit district of south
ern Michigan in the wake of the horse
buyer Blue Blazes learned nothing good
and much that was Ill. He finished the
trip with raw hooks, a hoof print on
his flank and teeth marks on neck and
withers. Horses led In bunch do not
improve in disposition.
Some of the scores the blue roam colt
paid in kind, some he did not, but he
learned the game of give and take.
Men and horses alike, he concluded,
were against him. If he would hold his
own be must be ready with teeth and
hoofs. Especially he carried always
with him black, furious hatred of
man in general.
So he went about with ears laid
back, the whites of his eyes showing
and bite or kick ready in any emer-
gency. Day by day the hate in him
deepened until it became the master
passion. A quick football behind him
was enough to send his heels flying as
though they had been released by a
hair trigger He kicked first and in
yestigated afterward. The mere sight
Of man within reaching distance
reused all bis ferocity.

the stockyards crowd gathered In the left
field bleachers on Exposition park. the
crowd had a cheerful habit of climbing
out upon the field and descending upon
the umpire en- masse. The crowd never
offered him any violence They simply
went out to inquire OF him why he made
a decision. The habit grew until it was
a regular Saturday ard Sunday feature Of
the game Sometimes when the umpire
had been good to the home team the
crowd went out 1000 strong. shook hands
with him. told him how good he was, and.
thanking him, retired to the seats again
and let the play proceed.
While Jimmy Manning had the club
there came along an umpire named Smith,

White Sox. which Washington stopped

American league records and missed By
one game only tying the major league
record for consecutive Victories. Com
iskey'B men surpassed the recent
. records OF eighteen straight made by
New York In 1904 and by Baltimore in
, the previous decade, when they won their
first game in Washington. which was
their nineteenth victory without defeat
Had they been able 10 keep II up until
last night by winning yesterdays double
header, they would have passed the high
water mark OF twenty straight set by
the old Providence Grays of 1854. which
has withstood all attacks up 10 date
Technically the Providence record would
have been good even II Chicago had won
both games yesterday. as the Greys
actually won twenty consecutive games
while the long record OF the White sox
was broken into by tie game here with
the New York Highlanders. All disputes
are avoided. however. by the fact that
Comiskeys men stopped at nineteen
The question Is being asked il the ProvI-
dence record displaced that of the old
Cincinnati Reds, who went through an
entire season and part of the next with
out being defeated, but that was before
the organization OF the National league
in 1876. and was made at a time when
the teams played comparatively few
games in a season. instead OF every day.
as at present. similar case would arise
II one OF the strong local semi-pro-
fessional teams should pick its own
opponents. make. up a schedule Of Satur-
day and Sunday games. and go through
the season without defeat. In the same
way the National league teams OF 1854
were nowhere nearly as evenly matched
as are the American league teams OF to-
day, and the organization did not always
finish It's season with the same teams
that started. Consequently, from play
ing standpoint, the march OF the White
Sox has been quite as remarkable as
that OF the old Grays. although as a
matter of figures. the twenty two year
old record still challenges all comcrs."

SOMETHING ABOUT
BULLD0ZING TACTICS
Smaller the League the Harder
Grows the Task of
Mr.. Umpire.

In the following article Hugh S. Fuller
ton. the baseball expert, cites facts to
show that the lot of an umpire Is a sad
one:
Muggsy McGraw's recent outbreak
against umpires and his attempt TO ban
ish tombstone from the polo grounds re-
calls lot OF other incidents. john
stone Isn't an extraordinary umpire, but
In this case the only offense charged is
that he gave a decision against New
York. There was no question as to wheth-
er or not the decision was right or
wronG-it was wrong because 1t was
given against McGraw.
Muggsy has for the last dozen years
played out his string OF bullyragging um-
pires to the end-and won pennants by
1t. There Is no doubt that the old Balti-
more club owed at least two pennants TO
until they didn't dare give a decision
against his team. and in those days he
had able assistants, He kept up the same
tactics In New York until he finally came
to grief because Pulllam stood flrm and
because. at heart, even a New York
crowd loves fair play.
The umpire is legitimate bait for a
crowd Of fans. He accepts the Job with
that understanding He knows what he
is going against-and he goes. II takes
a man of cold nerve TO umpire and.
strange as IL may seem. the smaller the
league the harder the umpire's job grows.

he read OF McGraw's action, remarked :.

Catarrh of the Stomach
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and
Effectuai Cure for 1t.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in.
durable. The usual symptoms are a
full or bloating sensation after eating
accompanied sometimes with sour or
watery risings, formation OF gases,
causing pressure on the heart and
lungs and difficult breathing, head
aches, tickle appetite, nervousness and
general played out, languir feeling
There is often a foul taste In the
mouth, coated tongue and If the in
terror of the stomach could be seen ii
would show Shiny, infiamed condi
| tion.
The cure for this common and obsti.
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before 1t has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DR.. Har' r'anson, the saf
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal tablet, composed of Dias-
tase, Aspectic Pepsin, a little Nux,
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now he found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Dys.

medicine can be used with perfect
safety and assurance that healthy ap-

Mr.. r. s. Workman, Chicago, Ills,
writes: "Catarrh is local condition
resulting from a neglected cold In the
head. whereby the lining membrane of
the nose becomes infiamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom pass
ing backward into the throat reaches
the stomach, thus producing catarrh
of the stomach. Medical authorities
