eEusHIs was spoken by a man
whose recent successes on the
turf have nctted him almost a
third of n million dollars, the
vste-an James r. Kecne. who has
rro5.bly done more than envy other
living individual TO make horse racing
in America the legitimate sport that
30 may be In the hands of the upright
lover of horseaesh for its own sake.
Yet the earnings Of only one fleet
racer from his stables, the invincible
Colin. have been 100000 this season.
That is double the sum paid to the
president Of the United states and
ten times the salary Of the governor OF
the state Of New York. Few college
professors earn more than a twentieth
part of it, and the heads Of the larger
banks and insurance companies re-

has added so much money to his bank
account during the last season. Mr.
Keene is not such a monster Of in
gratitude. His feeling for Colin is
tinctured with more sentiment than
might be expected from q man who
has spent so much of his life In Wall
street In fact. the owner Of the Cas-
Teton stud admits that he yields to
sentiment. especially in the matter OF
the naming of his colts.
The Romance Of a Name.
Sentiment cut "a very pretty figure
I'm the christening Of Colin. While he
was making up his mind what TO call
the promising son of Pastorella-so
named from a certain shephordess OF
classical origin--Mr. Keene came
ACROSS poem entitled Collins Com
plant" It was written about two CEN
turtles ago and its quaint expression
and weird melody made a deep inn
preston on the hnancier. The fol-
lowing verses gave him a suggestion
for the name of his colt:
An. Colin thy hopes are In vain;
Thy pipe and thy laurels resign;
Thy false one inclnes 10 a swain
Whose music is sweeter than thine.

Oklahoma Does Things:

The new government down IN
Oklahoma is doing things. One
of the first things the board OF
railroad commissioners did was
to get ready to make an order to
the effect that all railroads rum
ming out of the state should build
depotS at the state lines, and
hold all trains at such depots un-
til passengers could purchase
tickets on to their destination.
This was done because the roads
were charging three cents per
mile on Interstate business, al
though the rate in Oklahoma is
only two cents a mile. The roads
could not stand for such an order,
so they asked that the order be
not made, as they would comply
with the law, and make a two
cent rate on interstate business,
the same as in the state.
Another important thing done
by the state Legislature of Okla
homa was the passing of a law
guaranteeing bank deposits. The
plan is to levy tax of one per
cent on the deposits of the banks
of the new state, the amounts be-
ing raised by the levy to be used
in the paying of deposits in case
a bank should fail. The princi-
pie is on the same line as fratern-
al life insurance.
Surely the new state is making
wonderful strides in up-to-date
legislature.
