MADE HIS MEANING PLAIN.
Indians Answer a Real Triumph Of
Quiet Sarcasm.

George VauX, Jr., Of Philadelphia,
has been appointed a member OF the
board of Indian commissioners. Mr..
Vaux told a reporter the other day an
Indian story.
There was a certain commission
err" he said, who treated the Indians
with rude scorn. One day a chief en-
tertained this man in his tepee, tell
ing him over the tobacco many quaint
legends.
"One legend concerned a plague of
g~rasshoppers. The chief told elo-
quently how grasshoppers overran
the land. eating the grain, and how
the medicine men averted a famine
by offering a silver grasshopper to
the Great Spirit, %whereupon all that
deluge of grasshoppers disappeared.
"But the commissioner scoffed at
the tale.
-"'Are you Indians such FOOLS he
said, as to believe such rubblsh?'
80, no. said the chief, grayely,
or we'd long ago have offered the
Great Spirit a silver pale face

THE WHOLE FAMILY.
Mother Finds a Food for Grown-Ups

Food that can be eaten with relish

Such a food Is Grape-Nuts. 1t not
only agrees with and builds up chill
dren, but older persons who, from bad
habits of eating, have become dyspep-

A Phila. lady, after being benefited
herself persuaded her husband to try
Grape-Nuts for stomach trouble. She

that old family remedy, Brandreth's
Pills. Each pill contains one grain

Annie stood on the platform of the
e~ast-bound train as it waited for the
signal to steam out of the station.
Back at the gate stood Annie's broth
err and his wife and Annie's sister and
her husband. Between, the crowd
surged u%nheeding. But by the green
that they wore on this st. Patrick's
day the girl on the platform knew
them for her own people. Katie and
hannah were weeping. Annie had
hoped that they would not weep, for,
sure, wasn't it bad luck to have tears
when one was going home?
Home! How many a night had she
lain awake after the work Of day hac
clamored for rest for her weary body
and mind, thinking, thinking ever of
the two who were even now counting
the hours till their last-born should
be once again under her old rooftree!
The journey to the sea was but a
step; and after the ocean came the
hills that some morning would rise to
the eastward-her W Erin. And
then there would be the mists and the
fogs of the slow train journey to the
little station; and then the long walk
perhaps through the rain-that
would bring her to that light Of home,
God be with you" she called to
the little group as the engine wheels
began to revolve. And her own eyes
we're dim with tears. And as the
train went out into the open spaces
the engine bells sounded a song she
had heard somewhere Of late:
Then go back to Ireland,
Kiss your. friends in Ireland.
But you'll lave your heart behind YOU 10

green of a Kerry village and the glow
of the light of love, and down her
cheeks ran the tears of inconsistencies
and longing and memory of the days
that have gone.
There under the Irish stars the big
Irishman told the little Irish girl Of
the love that his heart held for her.
And when long afterward, after a
thousand years of joy that an hou.
may hold, he had said a last good
night, she had drawn down his head
to the level of her lips and blessed it
with her softly spoken "Cean dhuv
dheelish." Then as she stood watch
ing him go down to the village, she
heard somewhere afar off a pipe
playing the tune Of the Kerry dane
ing.
But there was no music in the pipes
and non in the heart on the night
when John vent away, away with the
English soldiery where he had en-
listed. There were sad promises OF
return and dark ~forebodings, but
there was hope. The val would soon
be over; the Beers would not fight
long; although it's meself that's
prayin' they'll win from ye," said
Mollie to John.
when l come back, I'll punish ye
for that same" said John.
But he never came back to Kerry.
The little girl in the corner of the hall
saw the village gay again on this
Patrick's night as it had been on the
other; for lads and lasses come soon
from the shadows. But with the Wis
ion of love she saw clearer than Ter
old home a spot that she knew only
in fancy-a lonely grave IN a Trans.
vaal kopje, where sleeps an Irish lad
who died fighting for England.

There Is no more perplexing trouble

That DR.. Williams Pink Pills win

Il never felt well after my first

In my stomach and could not hold any
food down. My head ached a great
deal and sometimes the pain went all
through my body. I had dizzy spells
so that I could net stand and seemed
to be half blinded with pain. These
spells would often last for over an
hour. My blood seemed to be In q
very poor condition and my hands and
feet were like ice. / seemed to be
growing weaker and weaker and could
not get around to do my work in
the house. I was extremely nervous
and the least excitement would, bring
on a dizzy spell.

Regarding the complexion of the
track itself Contractor Allen made the
discovery recently that the fine silt at
the bottom of the irrgating bitches,
so plentiful here, made the very best
top dressing, both for the safety of
the horses and the speed of the track,
that could possibly be desired, and this
soil, to a depth of a foot, Is what will
be used at Santa Anita park. No less
than 10000 cubic yards will be re-
quired, but after the preliminary grad
ing els completed this week all the
teams will be started to gather the
precious soil. Allen says without res
/ ervation that the track will b. one of
the fastest in the world. not excepting

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Some idea of
the magnitude Of horse racing in Am

ord of the winnings of 80 leading own
ers, made public today. The grand
total is $1,706,SS1. This in itself would
be a great sum, but it only represents
a very small number Of horse owners
that have won money on the turf since
January 1 to October 10. In the ag-
gregate the winnings OF all owners
reach 100000. This sum represents
only the amount paid out by racing
associations to owners. The money
expended by citizens of the country on
the sport of kings is not included.
The sport is well named, for 1t takes

CANS GREATEST
FIGHTER IN RING
CoRsETT PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE
CoLoRED PRODIGY THAT HAS
PUT ALL THE LIGHTWElGHTs
OUT FOR THE COUNT.

without doubt the greatest fighter
in the ring today is Joe Cans" said
Jim Corbett the other day in a ren1in-
iscepRal mood. In fact, I think Cans
is the only real fighter in the game
today who can give a good account OF
himself
Cans stands as far above the aver
age pugilist as the sky does above the
earth. He stands out pre- eminently
from his class, He has beaten every
man in the lightweight division, and
many Of the welters.
Nov take 1t in the heavyweight
class. There is a bunch of men in this
division who are not worth the title of
fighter They are crowd of second
raters There Is not a man among
them who has shown himself Of cham
pionship timber
THE outlook for the fight game is
very 'iad Here it is that Joe Cans,
who 10 or - years ago was fighting
at his best, is able to beat every one
of the present day scrappers The
Baltimorean is not nearly so fast as he
used to be, and it only goes to show
that the men Of the present time are
not real boxers.
"As it is in the lightweight ranks,
so it is in all the other divisions. The
men who are fighting in them are far
inferior to those who represented the
divisions in the years gone by.
'Jeffries is easily the best man that
the game ever knew. He was the
speediest man for a heavy fellow that
the world ever saw and the chances
are that his equal will never be seen
! again. However, I am patiently await
ing the day when some man will come
forward who can really put up his
dukes in championship style, and then
the people who pay to see a mill will
not be buncoed as they are nearly ev-
cry time they attend a boxing meeting
