Suggestions to Jingle Writers.
1. Take Tommy fuckers advice and find
out what you are jingling about.
2. Write on only one side Of the paper
and write neatly and plainly. Busy men
and women have no time to decipher
hieroglyphich.
3. Spell correctly, as there is no excuse
for bad spelling when dictionaries are SO
cheap.
t. Be careful in the selection of your
words. Make every word say something
If those you have used seem good ones
try to think of some that may be even
better and stronger
). Do not write nonsense but remember
that jingles are advertisements that cost
money and are not intended simply to
amuse the public.
g. Above all, consult the "ad' of the firm
or article about which you are writing
and try to bring out the points the lad"
contains. HELPING HAND.

CRAB RACES WERE ONCE PoPu.
 LAR IN FRANCE.

Ever since that little affair between the tortoise and the hare sportsmen have been devising unique races. Most races are queer nowadays, but prob- ably the strangest of strange races were those which used to be in vogue at Trouville, in France. Crabs were the horses, and the races were sweep. stakes.
 The owners waded with their women partners into the water. netted the crabs, brought them to shore, placed them on a line ten feet distant from the water and raced them to the briny. How those crabs did gallop.
 Fancy racing crabs for thousands of dollars today and men actually per- spiring and growing excited over the game.

PLANS FOR MEXICAN RACING.

Louis Blum, who has been purchas- ing horses for officials of the Mexican government throughout the country. says that the first meeting at Mexico City will be held in September of 1908
 Blum admits that his purchases are not the highest class that could be made. but says that he is trying to get the best he can for the appropriation allowed to him. The first Mexican Derby will be run in 1910 and will be of the value of s2o.o0O. Territorial Governor Escandon is chairman of the movement to have the new track plac- ed near Condea. outside of Mexico City. It will cost close to Si.ooO.ooo.

| INTER now the season of win-

T INTER now the season of win- - ter sport. While it is. true
 that winter pastimes, whether
 indoor or outdoor, are by no means so popular as summer recrea- tions, this fact is due to the larger number of pleasure seekers that exist in warm weather. The summer is the great vacation season. The winter is the great work and study season.; Con- sequently no winter sport will ever rank in popularity with the leading summer pastimes.
 But. even admitting the truth of the foregoing statements, there is no req son why winter sports should be con- sidered with lamentation. There are, in fact, so many popular forms of cold weather recreation that one hardly can decide on which to adopt.
 Undoubtedly a decided advance will occur in the skating world this winter. The unfortunate fight between the two leading amateur bodies last year prac- tically decreased interest in the an- nual contests to some extent Now. however, the Amateur Athletic union has. withdrawn from the position it

The Confederacy, during the late

in Europe for the chief purpose of
securing foreign intervention in its

capitals.
BY far the most flatterlng reception
and highest degree of encouragement
were accorded by the Vatican, as re-
presented by the Cardinal Secretary
of State, Antonelli, who doubtless was
sincere in his regard for jefferson
Davis and his admiration for Southern
valor as far rs the cleverest and least
scrupulous statesman of his time could
be sincere in anything. Never be-
tween Leo XIII. ana the Sicilian
Rampolla existed the tender tie that

Davis left no official statement us
to his Interpretation of the letter.
BENJAMIN, however, in communica-
ton to Mann, maintained that as Il

the Letter was of little value, being n
mere inferential recognition, uncon-
nected Will political action or the
regular establishment of diplomatic
