PAGERS showing fine form. This is
made possible because you support the
association by your membership, be-
cause many of our members are en-
thusiastic and have secured the horses
which are capable of this good work,
and because you have enabled the man
agement to make important improve
ments to the track ana to secure ths
best known implements to keep It in
proper order for fast work.
I The time Of the horses shows that the
track is faster than before. and the
physical condition Of most Of them
shows it to be safer than ever. Will

sylvia, G. G. Jan. "a. The story oil
a woman's thrilling ride on fear
spurred horse, pursued by ferocious
wolves and huge catamounts, comes
from Canada township, an isolated
neck of the woods where news Of the
recent taking controversy
has not yet penetrated.
Mrs. William G rkson, so the stor
80. j, while riding along a lonely road,
near herihome, was suddenly confront
ed by fierce catamount, whichsprang
into the road to attack her. The fright
ened reighi-g of the horse, and the
woman's piercing screams for help, as
she urged her horse at topnlost speed,
cslIed from their lsirs in the forest a
large number Of other hungry cata-
mounts and fierce wolves, made bold
by famine, who joined in the wild
chase Of almost three miles.
Mrs. Clarkson's horse was too fleet
footed for pursuing beasts, and only
one eatafnount, so the story goes, kept
in the race to the finish. This one kept
up the chase until Mrs, Clarkson, her
horse almost dead from exhaustion,
pulled up al the door Of her house
Mrs. Clarkson fell tlinmng from the
horse Just as the eatamount, leaped
into the saddle after its prey. The next
instant Mt the dramatic and psycho
logical moment, Mrs. Clarkson's hus
band, rifle in hand, came to the door
and shot the catamount, which thus
paid the penalty for violating the
habits OF its species of hunting only
during the night.
The same report says it has become
dangerous to travel in the south end of
the Canada township in the Palsam
Mountains on account of the panthers
and wolves being SO numerous.

Gov. Johnson, the Scandinavian Ex-
s.utive, of Minnesota, is nominated
for President by the Democrats he will

name Roosevelt.
John s. Mcdonald, the turfman,
took the Johnson end of the bet.
Thomas H. ShevlIn, the millionaire

man from Minnesota, took the other
end. For half an hour before the bet
was made Mr.. Shevlin, who is can

State at large to the Republican con-
vention, had tried t. convince Norman
g. Mack and several other Demo Gratis
urasent that Gov. johnson was the
best candidate the Democrats could
probably name.
"Johnson Is one of the best Cover
nors we ever had, and do not hesitate
to SLY it, though am a. Republican,"
said Shevlin; "the Democrats are fool

carry Minnesota, Wisconsin and the

A recsnt incident which holds in its
simple outlines the possibility OF past
tragedy is described in the New YORK
Times. 1t is another illustration OF how
careless the world is of the individual
and how thick is the cloak which one
may wrap about his personality. Not
long ago a laborer employed by The
Erie railroad in Jersey City was run
over by train and had his leg cut Oil.
4 policeman teiephoned for an am
bulance. The injured man lay on a
grass patch, apparently bleeding TO
death. just then a typical railroad
tramp in dirty rags sauntered along
he tapped a policeman s elbow
May / ask what's the matter, OIL
cer2" he inquired.
Man bleeding to death. replied the
policeman.
"Wouldt you mind If looked at
him?' asked the tramp. u might be
of service
ssGo ahead, responded the officer.
Bending low over the wounded la
borer the tramp asked for water to
wash his hands aud then begged the
crowd for clean handkerchiefs. With
half dozen def rapid twists he made
tourniquet and stopped The flow OF
blood
Are you doctor?' some one askeo
asthe man slipped away through the
owd.
81 used to be, he replied as ne iui
ried off.
