Mr.. Spence has a large breeding
stable of runners" near Mexico, and
attends all the big racing events in
the country. Not long since he was
in Louisville and entered the betting
ring to see what odds were being Of
fered on the various entries. He
found that Joaquin was the favorite
at even money, and pulled his wallet
from his pocket, intending to bet on
that horse. His attention was at
tracted by something that fell from
his wallet to the ground, and he stoop-
ed and picked 1t up. 1t was a Chi

A gray rat walking along an electric

A PRETTY SAFE PROPHECY
De Pachmann's Humor at Expense Of
His Confrere.

Vladimir De Pachmann, the Russian
pianist, and Goldmark, the famous
opera composer, met in front OF the
latter's Vienna home a short time
ago. Goldmark is a most estimable
old gentleman and writer of excep-
tionaliy brilliant and melodious mu-
sic, but his one great fault is most
overwhelming conceit. trait which
often gives his friends occasion for
much merriment at his expense. AS
De Pachmann and Goldmark walked
away from the composers house, the
pianist pointed backward over his
shoulder and said: THAT modest lit
tie edifice will be signally distinguish
ed some day after you are dead" In
Decd" murml,ed Goldmark, blushing
with pleasure. YES" continued De
Pachmann; "they will decorate it with
a tablet" "And, pray, what do you
suppose they will say on the tablet
after am dead?" asked the composer,
eagerly. ITO Let" was De PacE<
mann's pithy reply, as he scuttled
across the Ring Strasse.

WHY SO WEAK?
Kidney Troubles May be Sapping
Your Life Away. Wausau People
Have Learned This Fact.

When healthy man or woman begins
to run down without apparent cause,
becomes weak, languid, depressed, suf-
fers bsckache, headache, dizzy spells
and urinary disorders, look to the kid
news for the cause of it all. Keep the
kidneys well and they will keep you
well. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick
kidneys and keep them well. Here is
a Wausau testimony to prove it.
James Duquette, carpenter, living
on Muencho ST., near PARK ST., Wausau,
Wis, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills did
for NE what every other remedy had
failed to do, cured me of a baekache
and a miserable weakness of the back
that had annoyed me for months. My
condition was so terrible that | was
walking about all bent over, could not
stoop or get up without taking held of
something, and suffered constant
duh pain in the small of the back that
extended around to the left side and
made me weak and helpless. | always
felt tired and worn out, was lame in
the morning, could not rest well at
night and my general health was poor.
Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills recon-
mended by Wausau people got box

after began using them the pain lett

A Richmond (Va) minister not long
ago was asked to perform a marriage
ceremony by a young negro couple,
says Harper's Weekly. AS he had en-
ployed the groom for a year or two.
he consented, knowing what prestige
would come to the couple by reason of
having been married by white minis
ter. At the appointed time the happy
pair arrived and the ceremony pro-
ceeded. "Do you take this man for
better or for worse?" the minister
asked. For all her shyness the bride
spoke up bravely. mo, sab! ah don't"
she said "Ah'll take him jest like

The nIessednes. Of Giving.

The tremendous benefactions Of
Carnegie and Rockefeller are having
the effect, we are told, of giving the
small-fry philanthropists cold feet and
soaring them out of the game, until
1t comes to pass that the man who has
only the beggarly 100000 or so, to
bestow, evinces a decided disposition
to buy fun less expensive, if likewise
less intense with his money. This
goes to suggest that philanthropists
are but flesh and blood, after all, and
banker not to enter in a race where
they are to be not only beaten but
distanced at the post. The Widows
mite is unexceptionable, of course,
and 1t seems pity that nobody hears
the widows name laundering down
the ages.-Puck.

ITS EFFECT

RESULT OF JOINT EFFORTS BY
UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO
AND BOULDER DISTRICT.
Preparatory Department of State In
stitution Run in Connection With
School of City and Both Said to
Have Been Helped Thereby
With a Local Bearing.

Prof. John Franklin Brown, prin-
cipal of the state normal school, has
just received from Albert A. Reed of
Boulder, secretary of the school board
Of Boulder, Colo, a letter describing
the joint use of a building there by
the school district and the University
of Colorado, involving Joint control
and participation in the expense of
the school," Mr.. Reed adding that "in
the main this part of the arrangement
has been satisfactory"
Expenses Divided.
The expenses of the school have
been borne in the ratio, as nearly as,
possible, in which students were ell
rolled in the school, the regents pay
ing one-third of the current expenses
Of the school and have furnished from
the state at large, outside of the Boul-
der district, about one-third of the
students. Mr.. Reed says:
Advantageous to Both.
The joint arrangement for the con
troll of the preparatory school has
proven decidedly advantageous to the
university, because they have been
able to maintain a preparatory school
at nominal expense, that is, not to
exceed $4,000 a year. The arrange
ment has also been advantageous to
the local school district, because the
per capita cost of instruction in the
school has been less than it would
have been had the school been main
tanned at the sole expense of the dis
trict. Moreover, the district has had
the benefit Of the advice of the re-
gents, as well as contact with the uni
versity authorities
