Trey of spades Fails.

Billy Garth told his friends that Trey
Of Spades could not lose the maiden two
year-old race, second on the card. and
stockton's gelding was heavily played. At
post time, however, Giles had supplanted
him in the position Of favorite.
Queens Souvenir, a trim-looking Black
hHy by Dinna Forger-Queen's Bower,
running in August Belmont's colors. was
neglected in the betting. SIberschwanz
and Sweet Taire were most fancied of the
others.
Silberschwanz was ugly al the post and
in one of his tantrums came near knock
ing Radtke. on Giles, out of the saddle.
Belhl was first away, but was quickly
outrun by Queens Souvenir and Trey OF
Spades, and these two were the only ones
in the race. Queens Souvenir winning
easily, while Trey Of Spades was as
easily second Giles was poor third.
II was even money. Workman against
the field. in the third. n selling race at
six and one-half furlongs, Workman be
ing quoted at to at post time with
AzeIina and Thomond almost equal
choices for second hOnors, the others
ranging at from Is to 100 to l. Thomond,
as usual, was on his bad behavior at the
post.
Miller got Workman of in front, and
quickly opened a gap. He was never in
trouble. and won in a gailop. Wabash
Queen ran in second place to the last six
teenth. where AzeIina cOllared her and beat
her out a head. ThOmond was pinched
OF al the far turn. which ruined whatever
chance he had.
Black Mate was a strong favOrite in
the fourth, for three-year-olds. at seven
furlongs. with Campaigner. a second
choice. well played. Sally X. was backed
to threes. and Merrill was the outsider.
Campaigner Takes Lead.
The horses got away at the first at

ever Black Mate collared him at the
turn. and was in the van the rest OF the
way Mcdaniel went to the whip halt
way down the stretch, but Black Mate
responded gamely and came away easily,
winning by two lengths, while Campaign

Why should we trade at home?
Why should we consider home in any
way more than any other place unless
it pays US financially? First, because
it is our home. The pride we should
take in the prosperity of our home
town and our neighbors should be suf-
ficient inducement to give them the
preference. Second, because beyond
all doubt or question, it pays from a
money point.
The greatest menace to the country
merchant to-day is the mail order
business, and with the decline of the
country merchant comes inevitable
loss to the citizens of both town and
country. What at first was considered
a great convenience and an exhibition
of commendable enterprise has grown
to be one of the crying commercial
evils The success of the mail order
house is the result of constant, ex-
tensive and intelligent advertising. 1t
is not by persistent swindling as some
tell US, for no business was ever built
up in that way. The home merchant
can do no better than to adopt the
same method, the judicious use of
printers ink.
While the merchants are the heav-
lest immediate losers, and could do

cost; If they save 25 cents on a ten.
dollar order by buying from a mail
| order house they consider that clear
gain. They should be shown that a
merchant and his family living in
their midst, keeps up house, pays
taxes, adds to the social features, con-
tributes generously towards public en-
terprises, etc. If by buying at home
their town gives support to several
more local merchants, creating a bet
ter home market they get back lib
eral percentage. Every man and WON
an takes more or less pride in local
affairs and is willing to contribute
something toward home improve
ments, if the matter is fairly pre-
sented. That is why 1 say the rem
edy lies in education.
Most mail order houses claim they
are enabled to sell cheaper than coun-
try dealers because they buy in larger
quantities and get especially low
prices. This is often a base mis-
statement of facts; let me cite an in.
stance: A stock man from eastern
Washington was visiting in Kansas
City. One morning, walking with his
nephew, who was a clerk in a lead
ing wholesale hardware house, he
asked where Bland e Co.'S store was
located. Don't think ever heard of
Them replied the young man. 80,
yes, l do remember the firm; they
have no store, they have an office in.
(giving the name of the building),
but don't see how they can sell hard
war, as low as your home merchants,
for while we sell them goods at less
than retail price, we don't give them
as low prices as regular dealers, be-
cause they buy in such small quaint
ties, just as they get orders" The
stockman was greatly surprised, he
supposed he had been dealing with
one of the largest firms in the city.
The mail order business has devel-
oped so slowly, and works so quietly
that few persons realize the magni-
tude it has assumed nor to what ex-
tent it is now sapping the life-blood of
many small cities and towns Even
now we hear the excuse given for
sending away for goods, that the mer-
chants carry such poor stocks. The
wonder is that they carry any.

A Famous Newspaper Man.

William E. Curtis, the famous cores
pondent Of THE CHICAGO RECORD HER
AID, writes two-column letter for his
paper every day in the year without IN
PERMISSION. His powers of sustained
work are as great marvel as his faculty
of always making his matter interest
ing.
Probably no other newspaper cores
pondent in the country is read so regu-
larry and eagerly by so many thousands
of men and women as Mr.. Curtis. MIR.
Curtis has travelled several times around
the world, visiting every country under
the sun, and writing larger number OF
brilliant and interesting letters of trav-
ell than were ever before produced by
a single hand. Many of these have
later been reprinted in book form. One
of his latest expeditions for The RECORD
HERALD was through Mexico, resulting
in a series of letters as entertaining as
those he wrote few years ago from
India, Turkey and the Holy Land. His
forthcoming letters from Ireland, Russia
and Germany will rival in importance
and interest any of his precious contri-
buttons.
Beginning his career in Chicago as a
reporter in 1872, Mr.. Curtis rapidly rose
to be managing editor. He resigned
that position to accept government
appointment as secretary of the South
American commission. So brilliantly
did he perform the duties of this office
that James &. Blaine, Secretary of State,
placed him at the head of the Bureau of
American Republics. At the worlds
fair in Chicago he distinguished himself
as the executive head of the Latin-Amer-
lean department. He IS a member of
almost every learned society in Wash
ington and of many in Europe. 1t is
not strange that THE RECORD HERALD
prints Mr.. Curtis letter every day in the
first column of the front page, and that
nothing but California earthquake can
displace Il from that station of honor.

TO MAKE USE OF sARDlNEs.
Canning Establishments viii Be
Started in Japan.

The sardine is caught in such num-
bers all along the coast of Japan that
hitherto the surplus catch has been
used for manure. Attempts are now
being made to turn this fish to some
more profitable use. Canning estab-
lishments have been started at va
rious places-notably Chiba and Noy-
ago-with a view to ascertaining
whether the Japanese product cannot,
in far eastern and American markets
at least, compete with the Mediter-
ranean product. AT present the olive
tree, a most important factor in this
industry, is not cultivated by the Jap
anese, and at the same time the Gus
toms levy a duty on imported oil.
This drawback could, of course, cas-
lily be overcome by the government
allowing rebate to canning estab-
hshments- AS far as taste and quail
ity go, there is not much to choose
between the Japanese product and the
European.
