A Tale OF a $40 Bill.

Mr.. Brown keeps boarding house.
Around the table sits his wife, Mrs
Brown; the village milliner, Mrs.
Andrews; Mr.. Jordan, carpenter
and Mr.. Handley, feed and lumber
merchant. Mr.. Brown took $40 out
of his pocketbook and handed it to
Mrs. Brown with the remark that
there was $40 toward the $50 he had
promised her. Mrs. Brown handed it
to Mrs. Andrews. the milliner. say
ing: "That pays for1my new bon
net. Mrs. Andrews in turn passed
it to Mr.. Jordan, remarking that it
would pay for the carpenter work he
did for her. Mr.. Jordan handed it to
Mr.. Handley requesting his receipted
bill for lumber. Mr.. Handley gave
the bill back to Mr.. Brown, saying,
"That pays $40 onlmy board" Mr..
Brown again passed it to Mrs. Brown,
saying that he had now paid the $40
he promised her. She in turn paid
Mr.. Black to settle her board and
pastry account Mr.. Black handed it
to Mr.. Handley, asking credit for the
amount on his -four bill. Mr.. Hand
ley again remarked that it settled for
that months board. whereupon Mr..
Brown put it back into his pocket,
remarking that he didn't suppose a
greenback would 90 so far.
But suppose Mrs. Brown had sent
to the mail order house. for new
bonnet, then the $40 would have gone
ont of town and never come back.
There is a moral in this-spend
your money with your home mer-
chants.

What Advertising Did,

J. w. Roach. farmer living near
Clyde, Kan, tested the efficacy OF
advertising recently. He was about
to hold public auction and planned
an advertising campaign. For several
weeks he announced his dates in the
local papers and;the last week came
out with half-page advertisement,
ordering 800 extra copies of distri-
button. He employed four auctioneers
and advertised the fact He told in
an interesting way, through his adj
vertising, that he would have big
sale-and plenty to eat. The sale was
held adjoining Clyde andssthe crowd
that attended was estimated at 5000.
The Clyde merchants did big bust
ness as a result. Before the event
Mr.. Roach estimated the amount of
the sale at 81, 600. but it footed up
81, 800. His printing bill was S3S, and
he attributes the remarkable success
of tho sale TO a iudicious use of
printers ink He said to repre-
sentative of the Telescope: Printers
ink made me at least ST., 500 on that
sale; got the people there and they
bought whether they needed the goods
or not. -

A FGr-Fetched
One by Him Of
Hebren, Faith

Howard Wilson. who pitched s few
years back Oh 10th the Philadelphia
and the Washington teams. was or
the Hebrew faith and aside from be-
ing a good pitcher was one of the most
popular players IN the business.
He was the eSseTfee OF good nature.
and although he was subjected 10 much
innocent kidding, stili the dark-haired
boy Of the smiling countenance could
always be depended upon to give as
good as was sent when il came 10 the
repartoe game.
One day. when playing on the Ath-
letics. Howard was at the bat and Cy
Young was doing the twirling for the
Boston club. Howard stepped into the
way OF one OF Cy's fast inshoots and
got a crack on the side Of the head.
The injury wasn't a serious one. and
IN the course Of q few hours young
Wilson was as good as ever That
night ES1ie Plank. who was not pres
ent at TIE game that day. having had
permission 20 pay a business visit over
to New YORK, met Howard at the Hotel
Walton and remarked:

ball today"

gogue-"

That the three heat plan OF racing,
which is to be largely in vogue down
the Grand Circuit this season. falls short
Of being popular. either with the cam
paigning horsemen or the public, can
rot be denied even by its most ardent
supporters. says the Cleveland Leader
The arguments against this style OF rae
ing are so many and OF such decided
merit that It looks very much as II
the managers OF the country's most i'm
portant racing plants will be forced TO
devise some more able and successful
plan Of racing for 1908
One OF the points which the intro
ducers Of the three heat plan dwelled
on when advocating this system was
that It would do away with laying up
and also reduce to a minimum the op-
portunities Of crooked work on the part
of INSCRIPTIONS drivers
The shortening OF the distance. as
brought about by the ruling Of the pa
rent trotting associations the past win
ter. cut the distance down to sixty
yards where there are fewer than eight
starters. and eighty yards where there
are eight or more. This alone does away
with the laying up OF heats. and many
OF our most prominent trainers believe
that this reduction in the distance works
a harm. They say that a chance mis-
take on the part OF a horse. a break
caused by having to pull up sharply
on turn, or when IN a pocket loses
him nearly all chance Of beating the
flag, unless the animal is very handy
al getting back on its stride.
Best Horse Not Always Winner.
The greatest fault 70 be found with
re three heat plan is that it leaves the
actraR decision as to which Is the best
horse in. decided doubt oftentimes. The
public enjoys seeing a race trotted on
paced to such finish that the best
horse wins beyond any question OF
doubt. Under the system now 50 much
in vogue. three different horses can
win a heat and the one that takes the
first heat can show that he IS beaten
| to a standstill in the next two heats,
and yet, if his standing in the summary
1 in the second and third heats Is only
enc position better than that OF the
other heat winners. he is declared the
winner Of the race, getting first money,
and also the auction pools.
For Illustration. horse wins the first
/ heat finishing three ard nine IN the
next two heats. ANOTHER starter has

Then he ran from the whip. and in a
second was four lengths IN front. which
was increased 10 six before the finish.
II ridden out, there IS not the slightest
doubt but that Colin could smash every
two-year-Old record.
Collins constant companion IS little
notified pony. and whenever he takes
his preliminary this pony accompanies
him II is really amusing 10 see the
little pony try 10 measure strides with
his sturdy companion. and whenever the
two appear on the track the crowd lines
the fence to watch the proceedings IN
almost as great numbers as If a real
race was on.
Colin is still unbeaten, and from the
timber so far shown among the two
year-olds there is nothing around here
TO make him even draw a long breath.
He will win for Mr.. Keene almost as
much money as the unfortunate Peter

The rustic Of yellowback bills and the
rattle Of chips are now heard in all the
big clubs nights. The I'D has at last
been removed, and race followers who
were suffering frorl ennui the first ten
days OF the season have some place to
90 now after dinner.
It took much persuasion 70 convince
the powers that be In this village that
the policy Of keeping the clubhousas
closed was working disadvantageously
to the welfare Of the hotels and other
places which depend upon visitors for
a successful season. AS II Is, the fact
that the Lie was kept down closely the
first ten days resulted IN more than
l,50 good spenders leaving here and re-
turning 10 New York.
The big hotels were the ones to be
affected BY this exodus and, whereas
this time last year, rooms were at a
premium in any OF the big hostelries,
none OF them are more than half full
at present. II viii probably be the. last
time the lid viii be kept down in Sara

meeting Two years ago the Sanford
horses swept everything before them.
but last year they failed to win a race
This season the New Amsterdam mil
lionaire came with a strong hand. With
Walls, Kennyetto. and Danoscara he has

bic is a clean one, the following is very

and runs his horses for the sport to be
