Says Public Wants Hippodromes.

A Denver daily newspaper prints
the following: Like Barnum, Barney
Oldfeld, the daredevil automobilist
who courts death by every turn of
the wheel, declares that the (sport-
ing) public likes to be humbugged.
In an oratorical outburst Oldfeld
says that people pine for fake races
and hippodrome. Square races are
not so spectacular, he avows, and
therefore are not so pleasing to the
popul0ce. Harken unto Barney the
Bold: "I'll admit you can't run a
real honest race any more. l found
out early in the game that all these
affairs must be on the hippodrome
order. For instance, early in my ca
reer l went against Frenchman for
ten miles, went in to do the best time
l could, and beat him a mile. The
crowd was sore, and found out the
only kind of race the grand stands
want is one where the racers hang
on to each others heels and see-saw
all the way around. The public does
mt know it, but that's the way the
racing game is played now. We've
got to do it or we couldn't get the
crowds. THE Automobile.

Optinlisns.

Our happiest moments are when we
forget self in useful effort.
Through the desire and effort to
express, we will reach the highest
good, or paradise.
Man has always fallen upward, and
when he has kicked the ball, it has
always been toward the goal.
The wise man is readyto relinquish
anything and everything, confident
that something better is in store.
Happy is the child born into fam
lily where there is competition of
ideas, and the recurring theme is
truth.
Mankind is moving toward the
light, and such lie our faith now in
the divine intelligence that we do not
believe that in our hearts were plant
ed aspirations and desires that are
to work our undoing .-Elbert Hub
bard, in Lippineott's.

that the colder the temperature the

When it is still colder the earth

A fond mother received an unex'

one day Last week The little fellow,
an unusually spunky boy for his age,
came home crying at the top of his
lungs. His mother rushed to him.
and, after soothing him for while,
drew from him the story of his trouble.
He had been bullied and beaten by
another boy several years his senior,
who had several times before sent the
lad home crying. "The brute!" his
mother exclaimed, "I'll attend to him.
I'll go right down to see his mother
this instant. The big bully! The idea
of his hitting a little fellow like you.
I'll teach him a lesson" She was
fairly beside herself now, but the
boy had recovered himself and had
stopped crying. His face Frightened
suddenly and he said: "Never mind'
