Women as SINNERS.

Sir Thomas Lipton's latest role is
as an ardent advocate of the woman
skipper and sailor.
There is no reason why women
should not make capable sailing mas

added, in a burst of admiring candor,

Perhaps this last touch of gallantry
was the direct inspiration of the lun-

At all events, Sir Thomas went on

Sir Thomas to this country, says the

EusSX Mothers.

Children are often worried because
their mothers are too attentive and
continually reprove the small ones
without reason. A child should be
left alone, and be allowed to play or
amuse itself in it's own way without
the constant direction of n nervous
mother. A boy, for example, enjoys
more few simple toys and something
which his own ingenuity has worked
out than the most elaborate plaything
which has been bought. In the same
way the little girl will lavish her af-
fections on misshapen doll, probably
made at home, while the most artistic
production of the toy shop will lie in
state, to be taken up on rare occa-
sions. Keep children well, clothe
them sensibly, let them understand
they are to amuse themselves, and
don't fuss" at them.

but for Mr.. Rogers, who was coming
out as / went in, l should not have

very extraordinary. The news of Lord
Wellington's victory had just arrived,
and she descanted upon it with much
animation. | cannot better describe
to you the hustle she makes than by

TIMES HORSES WITHOUT WATCH,
Texans knack That Comes From Ex.
perience and Practice.

perience and Practice.
Fred Holdner, who has been timing
horses for the past twenty years, and
who is a licensed starter, was one OF
the officials who occupied the judges
stand at the meet i'm Forth Worth.
During the meet just closed Mr.
Holdner has called the time of the
various heats a dozen times before he
looked at his watch, and when the
official time was announced he would
not vary from his guess" more than
quarter of a second. Timing horse
racing with the eye is a knack that
every one cannot attain. Some time
ago at Houston, Mr.. Holdner was act
ing as official timer and began TO call
the quarters, halves, three-Quarters
and miles offhand, without consulting
his watch. He made many converts
to his skill. and wagers began TO be
made that he could tell as close to
the correct time of horse race with
Ills eye as any other two men picked
at random could tell with n stop
watch. Mr.. Holdner saved the money
of those who wagered on his skill in
this particular
Yesterday evening just before Dan
Patch started in to pace his mile
against time Mr.. Holdner remarked
that he could call the quarter, half,
three-quarters and finish of Dan
Patch's attempt to lower the record
made on a half-mile track. He wrote
his figures down on the reporters
note book, and when the official time
was announced he had missed the
first quarter one-quarter of a second,
the second and third quarters he had
guessed right, and missed the last
quarter one-quarter of n second, maxi
ing his guess on the mile only one
half second out.
The knack of calling offhand the
time of a horse race surely rests in
this man from Houston. He says It
is a habit, and like anything else ex-
perience and practice make his guess
ing better-and he has been expert
menting and practising for something
over twenty years at this game

THE YOUNG WIDOW.

She is modest, but not bashful;
Free and easy, but not bold;
Like an apple-ripe and mellow;
Not too young, and not too old;
Half inviting, half repulsive,
Now advancing. and now shy;
There is mischief in her dimple,
There Is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature;
She is sohooled in all her arts;
She has taken her diploma
As the mistress Of oil hearts:
She can tell the very moment
When TO sigh and when 70 smile;
y, maid is sometimes charging;
But a widow all the whilel
Are you sad? how very serious
Will her handsome face become;
Are you angry she Is wretched,
Lonely, friendless, fearful. dumb;
Are you mirthful? how her daughter
Silver sounding, will ring OUT
She can lure, and catch, and play you,
AS the angler does the trout.
You old bachelors of forty,
Who have grown so bold and wise,
Young Americans of twenty,
With the love-locks in your eyes,
You may practice all your lessons,
Taught bv Cupid since the fall.
But / know a little widow
Who could win and fool you ALL
