Mr.. cRokER's VICTORY.

our English cousins are not very
good spOrtsmen. If they were of the
real true blue sort they would have
been Just a trifie more cordial over
the victory of Richard Cookers horse
in their great race classic, the Derby
The sporting writer's conceded that the
race was run fairly and that the best
horse won. The public and the edito-
rial writer's, though, were most grudg-
ing in their acknowledgements of the
exiIed Americans success.
One newspaper said: For political
reasons Orby's owner could not expect
to receive the sort of ovation which
would have been accorded Lord Rose
berry or the Duke of Westminster "
We fail to see why there should be pol
itics in a horse race. 1t is a sporting
event, pure and. simple. The entries of
Lord Rosebery and of the Duke of
Westminster failed to win because they
were not as good as the Croker entry.
And generous sportsmen would have
gladly given the winner a full measure
of praise.
or course, the EngliShmen were dis
appointed. They don't like to see their
greatest race won by an outsider. This
is perfectly natural, for all sportsmen
are disappointed when they fail to win.
But the genuine article does not show
his disappointment as plainly as the
Englishmen showed theirs.
1t must be conceded that the winning
or losing of a horse race, even the Eng
fish Derby, is an event of sufficient i'm
portance as TO make the wheels of the
world stop for a single instant in their
revolutions 1t is, however, a cause for
congratulatiOn that the event was won
by an American, or at least by a for
mer American. Croker has achieved
another of his ambitions. He is en-
titled to all the glory he can get out of
the fact.

0FF FOR THE POLE.

Walter WeTlman has started again
on the opening lap of his second try
by airship for the North Pole. Undis-
couraged by his failure to get his air
ship ready in time last year, he is going
to endeavor again to attain the hither-
to unattainabIe. In a message to the
Chicago Record Herald, filed at from
so. Norway just before he sailed for
Danes island. Spitzbergen. Wellman
says: Nothing is too high to be
reached or too good to be true" From
which we infer that he entertains high
hopes of success.
The Herald has often said that a lot
of energy and money are uselessly ex-
pended on polar expeditions. Nobody
contends that the discovery Of the pole
viii add very greatly to the sum of
human knowledge. Nobody seriously
believes that at or around the pole will
be found land that can be made
available for any useful purpose. We
already know, theoretically, at least,
that there is a North Pole The chances
are that when it is reached it will be
found to be surrounded by ice and
snow. and with a climate of unexam-
pied rigor.
The Wellman expedition is rather
more worth while than some of the
others for the reason that if he sue
ceeds he will have demonstrated the
value of the airship for practical pur-
poses. He will have shown the world
that il is possible to use an airship on
a long and extremely hazardous voy-
age. True, the same thing could be
demonstrated in many safer ways. but
there could be no more impressive les
son.
The Herald sincerely hopes Wellman
will be successful. if only for the rea-
son that once the pole has been def
nitcly located and staked off there will
be no incentive to other explorers to
risk their lives in such venture They
will stay quietly at home with their
families. Then, too, weilman is an
American. and whatever glory may be
attached to the finding of the pole will
come TO this country if he is success
full
There are reasons for believing that
he viii win. He is no novice in arctic
exploration. He knows how to protect
himself, what sort of supplies to take
with him and how long he can with
safety stay away from his base of sup

AN UNFORTUNATE WOMAN.

In her suit for divorce young Mrs
Gould by way of claiming alimony,
finds it necessary TO discuss sordid
money matters. This unfortunate girl
though she never earned more than a
few hundreds a week at most when she
was on the stage, declares that she is
obliged to resort to pitiful makeshifts
in order TO worry along on an allow
ance of 100000 a year. She doesn't
really have even this poor sum, she
says. because certain fixed charges re-
duce her income to about 100000 a year
net. Oh. the pity of It'll VIII not every
heart go out in sympathy to her?
II is true that here and there in this
country, if one takes the trouble to
really investigate the condition of the
other half. one can find an occasional
man or woman whose income is less
than 100000 a year. These cases are,
however, so rare that they are hardly
worth noting. Certainly they are not
worth counting in the general aver
age. Besides, nobody expects them to
maintain any position whatever in So
ciety. So, of course, if they are care
full they can worry along on less than
500. 200 a year, though not very much
less.
Seriously, did you ever stop to con-
slider what $4,000 a year, the sum that
Mrs. Gould regards as so insignificant,
really means? Nine families out of
ten get along very comfortably and
happily on $500 a year. or less. and
81, 800 is just half of Mrs. Gould's net
income for a single month. They do
not own garages filled with automo-
biles, they do not run over to Paris
three or four times a year for new
wardrobes, they do not inhabit palaces
and employ stats of servants. But
they seem to get along very nicely
thank you. Their children are COM
fortably clothed and usually healthy,
they entertain their friends in a quiet
way and, softly in your ear, we believe
they average a lot more happiness in a
year than young Mrs. Gould or a large
proportion of her friends in the So
called smart set"
More families live on $500 a year
than on $500. and still more on 81 ,00C
a year and less Mrs. Gould could give
up nine-tenths of her income and still
have so much left that the average
housekeeper would regard her as rich
beyond the dreams of avarice. The
great trouble with her is her environ
ment. Time was when she was very
contented on hundreds where she now
demands thousands. But she has
grown used now to the lavish disburse-
ment of money, so used to it that she
has lost all idea of it's value.
Il really might be a good thing for
her if she could be taught again what
it is like TO have to make every dollar
cover the greatest possible distance
She would be very unhappy for time,
but the experience would be mighty
healthy one and in the end she would

CLISOR BIGGY

A Constant Reader has become in
volved in an argument, perhaps in a
wager, over Ellison Buggy of San Fran
cisco. He desires to know if Ellison is
really Mr.. Biggy's Christian name.
Dear Constant Reader, We hope you
have not taken the affirmative side of
the question. If you have. you are in
error If a wager has been posted. you
are the loser. Elisor is not the bap-
tismal name of Mr.. Buggy. 1t is the
be duly set forth.
An eiisor is an officer appointed by
the court to choose a jury and to per-
form the other duties of the sheriff
when the sheriff for any reason is dis
qualified. The derivation is from the
Latin eligere, to choose. There is moth
ing new about the practice. 1t was
adopted at least as long ago as 1743,
and 1t may be very much older. AS
soon as Ellison Buggy is through with
the graft cases he will be automatical-
ly deprived of his office.
That, Constant Reader, is the whole
story. In every state occasion fire.
quently arises for the appointment of
elisors. A sheriff may be interested in
a case as one of the defendants or as
the relative or very close friend of a
defendant. Or the court may suspect
him of undue friendliness to one side or
another, and dispIace him with an
elisor either on the courts own mo-
ton or at the suggestion of one of the
attorneys.

l heard recently Of a young Swedish
woman. Brave, witty and honorable,
she could bring splendid young
Americans into the world. A short
time after she arrived among us, her
husband got out Of work. Naturally.
then, the rent fell behind. The land
lord called for it one day in her hus-
bands absence. He listened to the
young woman's tale of misfortune. re-
garding the while her yellow hair,
her clear blue eyes, her red mouth
and white teeth. Suddenly, bending
toward her, he said:
Give us kiss!
"She drew back, and her blue eyes.

fully.
No. she said, my husband and
may be too poor to pay our rent, but
we are not so poor that we can't do
our own kissing.'"

"Our little girl, one year and a half
old, was taken with eczema or that
was what the doctor called it. We
took her to three doctors but by this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. One morning we dis.
covered a little yellow pimple on one
of her eyes. Doctor No. 3 said that we
had better take her to some eye spe-
cialist, since it was an ulcer. So we
went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and
he said the eyesight was gone. We
were nearly discouraged, but thought
we would try the Cuticura Treatment,
SO purchased a set of Cuticura Rem
edies, which cost me 81, and in three
days our daughter, who had been sick
about eight months, showed great i'm
provement, and in one week all sores
had disappeared. OF course it could
not restore the eyesight, but if we had
used Cuticura in time I am confident
that it would have saved the eye.

Like Little Candle Burninu in N;oht

when there was not only no such
lighting, but not even a candle-stick
to hold the candle.
In Scotland, very many years ago, a
little boy was employed to hold the
candle during the long evenings. This
boy was the "herd-laddie'' by day, and
in the night he would sit in the chin
ney corner holding and occasionally
trimming the piece of candle he held
in his hand. The candle was also pe-
culiar. 1t was bit of wood cut from
kind of fir tree which is found i'm
bedded in certain Scotch boys. In
some parts of Scotland they still use
this kind of candle.
You will, no doubt, feel sorry for
the herd-laddie, who must have been
very tired working so hard day and
night I wonder whether the candle
ever Wobbled as the boys arm grew
weary? Poor laddie! The only relief
this living candle-stick had from his
work was when beggar came to the
door and asked nights lodging.
Then, in return for his bed and board,
the beggar was expected to hold the
candle" for the evening. In some
places in Scotland even yet a candle
stick is called "puir-man," meaning a
poor man, and this is the reason for
the odd term.
l dare say the boys of Scotland are
mighty glad that wooden and metal
candle-sticks are now in use, and you,
I guess, are still gladder that we have
our bright gas and electric lights to
fllumine our houses. PHILADELPHIA

to make the candle sink up to tho
rim into the water without the fluid
touching the wick. After lighting the
candle, says the Detroit Free Press,
tell your spectators that the wick of
the candle will burn up completely
notwithstanding it's strange surround
ings. At the first glance this seems
to be impossible, but shortly every one
will be convinced that it can be done.
While the burning candle shortens
the wick and brings it nearer to the
water the weight of the candle dimin-
ishes in proportion to it, and it rises
in the water in such way as to keep
the wick always out of the water.

TRADITION OF THE ROSE.
Pretty Legend Current Among North
American Indians.

The North American Indians of the
western coast have a tradition that
roses were created without thorns.
So tall and fair they grew that all
creatures were attracted by their
beauty and grace. Animals that
browse upon grass and green heritage
soon discover the tender sweetness of
the roses abundant foliage, and then
every rose tree holding its flowers
alOft but attracted attention and drew
destruction to ITSELF
Every part Of the esTh had been
given its glory of roses, but in every
place there were animals which
sought the bushes to devour them,
and and tribes Of roses were In dan
ger of becoming extinct. In their ex-
trefhity they held a council, for in
that faraway morning of the world
plants as we'll as animals had power
to speak. To the council all the
roses came, and each had a tale to tell
Of suffering and disaster. At length
it was decided to send for help to the
goldman of the tribes-the Hiawatha
Of the west. Delegates were chosen
from among those who were manned
and torn and had suffered most. 9th
ers also were sent who were tall and
fair and graceful. Wisely this coun-
Gil discerned that should justice be
denied the tribes, beauty might pre-
vail in their cause.
The conference was long and grave.
At its close an armory Of thorns was
given to every rose, and thus were the
tribes Of roses delivered from the en-
emies.-Circle Magazine.
