LADY FRANCIS COOK.

law retains the five per cent tax on
collateral inheritance outside OF two
specified classes, exempting relig-
ious and educational institutions
and requests under $1,000.
The first class includes father,
mother, husband, wife and children,
has $4,000 exemption md pays
from one to five per cent on a scale
ranging from $4,000 to above
$250,OO0. The other class includes
brothers, sisters, nephews and
nieces, has an exemption of $1,000
and pays from three to tive per cent
on a scale from $4,000 to above
100000. This tax is expected to
yield about $1,5OO,O0O in addition to
100000 from the present tax on
collaterals.
The distinction between direct and
collateral inheritances in taxation
sometimes leads to queer revelations
in probate courts. When very rich
man in Milwaukee left a fortune to
his adopted daughter, a matron of
good position, the federal inheri-
lance tax was half a million dollars,
till the lady set up the fact, pre-
viously carefully guarded, that her
relation to decedent was near enough
to secure a large reduction or COM

one has seen since the close Of the
war that Japan has taken over Korea
bodily, and It IL said that what she
is doing openly in Korea, she is do

it a Japanese province. 1t will be
instructive to see what view the rest
Of the world takes of this defiance

HIS GREATEST CATCH.

Those who have heard, the Rever-
end William A. Sunday, the evangel-
| list, in one of his characteristic evan
gelical sermons, will never forget him
or the sermon. In his famous Base
! Ball Sermon he describes his first
afternoon on the diamond after his
conversion. His words are the mos.
forcible.
''That afternoon we were to play
the Detroit club. The race was close
and there was much rivalry. The
crowd was Immense and the gamn
was marvel. The score stood to
3 in favor of Chicago. Detroit was
at bat with two men on bases anE
two men out. John Clarkson. then
as firmly believe the best pitcher in
the country, was in the box for Chi
cago, and Kelly was behind the bat
Charley Bennett, the best batter for
the Detroits, was at the plate and he
had balls and strikes. Fate
hung on the next bal Ito be pitched
knew Benefits weakness and his
strength. l knew he couldn't hit
a high ball Il don't mean a Scotch
high balD, but he could kill a low
one, so l yelled to Clarkson as ]
squared myself out in the right field,
You know him; high and in"
Clarkson dug his toe into the earth,
swayed backward until his hands
clasping the ball almost touched the
ground in his famous delivery, and
then like bent hickory sapiing sud-
denly released, he whipped forward
and sent the ball Kissing toward the
plate. He had grasped his sphere
for the high inshoot, but in some
manner the grip failed him. AS the
ball sped from his hand it took a
dive and started to split the pan just
crack. 1t was familiar sound to
me. 1t was made by stout stick of
ash striking a league ball squarely
on the nose. | glanced into the al.
and saw the black sphere sailing
away over Clarkson's head 1t came
for right field, and | knew in an in
slant that it was up to me to save
that game. Quickly judging the fight
of the ball | turned and ran, keeping
the ball in the tail of my eye Over
my shoulder. The crowd of is 900
spectators We're still as death. They
had stopped over into the field from
the bleachers and barred my way.
Clear the track; get out of my way
l yelled, and the crowd separated
like the Red Sea before the hosts of
Israel On l went, and on that ball
came. / saw that it was going be-
yond the field: judged that it would
light in the bleachers. Up the seats
l ran, people tumbling to right and
left to clear way for me. Five
steps up paused. The ball was up
on me. Leaning far over, stretched
upward and then uttered my first in
voluntary prayer: o Lord I prayed,
If you help me catch that ball I'll
be ever so thankful to YOU
Spat went the ball as it hit in my
hand-and stuck. You ought to have
heard the crowd yell.
AL Johnson. brother of Tom
Johnson, rushed up to me and said:
Here's a ten for you, Billy, and to-
morrow l will buy you THE best suit
of clothes in Chicago And he paid
$S5 for that suit. l believe God
helped ME to catch that ball"
Since that great catch, Billy" has
caught the devil out many time

OTTAWA, Nov. 2O.-COl. Hamburg Williams.

out to-day strongly on the olympic games
question. There is criticism at American
interference in Canadian sporting matters.
Col. Hamburg Williams says
Consider Canada alone. I have been del

the American Athletic Union will be angry
and will not send men to compete. Well. u
seems to me that we here have nothing to do
with the United States in this job. We are
here in this particular instance not working
for the United States. but for Canada. This
looking after the athletic interest OF Canada
Is too big a job TO allow VA to look after the
interest Of any other country other countries
can look after themselves.
most assuredly hope that every one will
help IN the settlement of this difficulty. Let

BUTLER 10 NAVE RACING STABLE.
TurFmen Expect to see the .I4ckry dlub
Include HOnkers In thc Circuit.

Folic"ing the announcement that the
Court o. Appeals had decided in favor Of
the Empire City track of NOnkers in the case
OF the state Racing Commission. came the
news Yesterday that James Butler. the owner
Of the Westminster plant. would purchase
some high class runners next spring and
would turn them over to a competent trainer.
II was also stated that Mr.. Butler in The course
OF time would 40 into the breeding industry

The COurt of Appeal s decision came in
the nature Of a surprise to many members
Of the Jockey Club. who had been led TO be-
lieVe that the state facing Commission
in It's opposition TO the NOnkers track would
settled the opinion was general Yesterday
that the NOnkers track would now be taken
into the Jockey Clubs fold without further
friction and that not only a license would
would bc allotted.
Friends OF Mr.. Butler. however. said that
If there should be any attempt TO take away
the dates for IN August meeting az NOnkers
there might he trouble. AZ II was clearly
demonstrated last summer that the metro
pOlitan racing public. unable to go 10 Sara
togH, desired n session with the horses on n
local track. The fONkers meeting. under
severe handicap, was literally patrOnlzCd
and about $40. 900 in profits WAS cleared up.
II an attempt is made TO keep the month
Of August clear for Saratoga, Il Is said that
the Jockey club will offer to Mr.. Butler spring

plan being to have ths iOnkers track open
and close the metropolitan campaign in
stead of Auueduct. In that case all of The
other racing associations would have to sur

IL is generally understood, however. that
