Chinese Laundry Ticket Suggested .
Bet on "Wing Ting"

Kay Spence, well-known horseman
of Mexico, Mo-, won $1,000 at the
Louisville, KY, race meeting q short
time ago as the result Of ''hunch."
Mr.. Spence has large breeding
stable OF runners near Mexico. and
attends all the big racing events in
the country. Not long since he was
In Louisville and entered the betting
ring to see what odds were being Of
fered on the various entries. He
found that Joaquin was the favorite
at even money, and pulled his wallet
from his pocket, intending to bet ON
that horse. His attention was Mt
tracted by something that fell fron
his wallet to the ground, and he stoop-
ed and picked 1t up Tt was a CHI

the books" again and found that there
was an entry with Chinese Nance

tied 1t, for he considered he had re-
ceived a "hunch" that could not be
overlooked. Wing Ting won handily.
Needless to say, those who backed the
favorite considered Spence the sew

Rellinu a Rat.

You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid a house of
rats is to catch one and fasten bell
about its neck. A boy in Delaware
tried the experiment two months ago.
He was badly bitten in making the
bell fast, but he turned the rat loose
and expected the tinkling Of that bell
would have great results. 1t did have.
In the first place, the rat who wore 1t
was constantly on the move all night,
and the tink1ing bell kept the family
awake, and in the next the sounds
brought scores of new rats to the
house. Instead of being afraid Of the
bell, they were charmed with the mu-
sic. Had the boy tied harmonica
to another rats tail, the rodents would
have had a dance every night.

tobacco today" said the dealer. st
Is strange that people from remote
parts of the country as well as New
Workers make q fad Of buying the
same brand of tobacco that Booth
smoked. And it isn't always the Booth
mixture that they want. have filed
away the formulas for mixing the
favorite tobacco of many famous per.
sons. Smokers the country over have
heard of this collection of recipes and
one feature of every mans trip to
New York is to try pipeful of some
big mans favorfte tobacco. In most
cases this special mixture is so
strong that the nerves Of the average
smoker cannot stand it. He has to
give up after few pipefuls and go
back to popular mixture, but he has
