along at top speed right up 10 the finish.
With the novelty went some Of the
champions keenness for slaughter in the
closing laps Of this years race.
There was a chaotic struggle at the
beginning. as always happens in the first
few days Of a pennant struggle. The
Cubs always were On top or near It. For

Chicago right on it's heels. Day after

a Generals Kind Heart.

General Lee was thoughtful in small
things always, and even at times when
the greatest events depended upon his
actions. A soldier relates the follow
ing:
Il was adiutant Of cavalry regi-
ment which took part in the West
Virginia campaign of Lee in 1861. One
day my colonel invited me to accom-
pany him to headquarters, which ]
was very glad to do, hoping to hear
something of my family in Richmond,
whom the general recently in the
city-knew well. We found him sit
ting at the door of his tent. He gave
us a cordial welcome and to me the
home news that desired. While the
conversation was in progress an or
derby came galloping up the hill, and,
ldismounting, handed the general de-
spatch. He held it in his hand with
out breaking the seal, and said to the
soldier: You have ridden your horse
hard; he is very much distressed; un-
buckle the girth and let him breathe.
During the closing weeks of the
siege of Petersburg General Lees
headquarters we're in a private house.
One morning he was standing, with
several members of his staff, under a
large tree, when a heavy shell landed
not far distant Gentlemen, he said
"the enemy have evidently got our
range and we had better retire" OF
course nobody would retire until the
chief set the example. The next mo-
ment another shell crashed through
the top of the tree above their heads,
and all followed his advice, except
himself. He stopped-and for what,
do you suppose? The shells had
knocked down nest full Of young
birds. and when the retreating off
GERS looked back they saw General
Lee pick up the nest and place it care
fully on one Of the lower branches OF
the tree.

Will il Come to This?

The Atlanta school authorities re
fused recently to permit Filipino tt
enter the white schools of that city
as a pupil. The Filipino is now
knocking at the door OF the schools
of Washington, ID. e., and 1T is up tC
the authorities of that city to say
whether he is white or colored.
If the Supreme Court OF the United
States decides-against both the
spirit and letter of the Constitution
that State cannot manage It's own
school affairs, there will be trouble
not only in California but in the
South. As we have already stated,
it wOnld then be possible for negro
child, coming from country with
which this country has treaty, to
force his way into the white schools
OF the South.
If it comes to this, we suppose the
United States has enough troops to
enforce the law. 1t will take all OF
them to do it at one point where
the attempt is made i'll the South.
Incidentally the troops will have the
opportunity to attend the funeral OF
all those who try to force their chill

How to Save Doctors Bills.

The best way to avoid doctors bills is
never to be sick, and one OF the most irnpOr-
tant truths that remain for the average man
or woman to learn is that illness of any
kind is absolutely unnecessary. At least,
such is the claim OF Bernarr Macfadden,
Editor OF the Physical Culture Magazine,
who is devoting his life to teaching the great
lesson that disease is neither a matter OF ac-
cident nor a dispensation of divine Provi-
dence, as many have believed in the past,
but is simply the result of, and the penalty
for the violation of the laws OF Nature. Per-
feet health depends strictly upon obedience
to these laws, or in other words, upon right
habits of living.
HOW TO DEVELOP MUSCULAR POWER AND
BEAUTY"
Mr. Macfadden's 's latest book, is one of the
most truly valuable productions OF the year.
1t contains all the ripest and best ideas of
this authority in regard to the development
of muscular vgor and strength, and will en-
able any one to acquire a perfect body in
their own home, without apparatus or eX-
pense 1t is a beautiful and attractive vol
ume, containing 103 fullpage illustrations.
actual photographs of the author. Special
attention is devoted to the Development OF
of lung power, which is a vital essential in
the cultivation of superb, pulsatng health.
The system of training outlined is one that
makes strain overWOrk OF any part practi-
cally impossible and is destined to increase
the nervous forces and general functional
powers, adding to the virle qualities of the
blood and thus affecting for good the nerves,
brain. and every part and organ of the
body as well as the muscles. The muscular
anatomy Of every part is considered sepa-
rately, with special exercises for each, so that
weak, undevelOped and even defOrmed parts
can be improved The whole is calculated
to produce that symmetry and harmony OF
development which result in great physical
beauty.
Truly, no one eau measure the value of
rugged health and manly strength There
fore it would be impossible to state how
many more times the purchase price of this
book each reader would find it's contents
worth to him, but to many it will doubtless
prove invaluable.
