Curley Brown, who made an unsuc

the Santa Anita meeting happened to
be. Curley has no love for Los An

Secretary Randle of the racing asso-
citation visited lonely Santa Anita few
days ago and was surprised to note
that the grass was growing speedily
all around the space occupied by the
stables and kitchens. He had been re-
ouested to permit about 1900 sheep
to browse around the track for few
weeks and declined, but when he saw
the grass he changed his mind and the
sheep were turned into the grounds.
The grass disappeared like magic.
Real odds on Latonia races may be
had hereafter. It has been decided that
bookmakers may cut In for the remain

AMONG THE BOYS

Hen Berry has adopted new fashion
in headgear, appearing yesterday in a
peekaboo hat that has more holes In 1t
than any of the new tangled shirt
waists shown on Broadway any shop
ping day. He stole the hat from Judge
Parker, according to his own testimony,
but discarded it when the fog began to
settle upon his hairless dome. Hen has
a mania for crazy hats and always
manages to go to extremes when he
gets one.
Ed Tufts Is losing his corpulency at
such an alarming rate that he really Is
vacations to enable him to loaf around
under shady trees by babbling brooks
and encourage obesity to be his friend

he would appear IL he should reduce
to the size of an ordinary man. He
says business has been so rushing that
he has been forced to jump In and help
out. and the exertion is wearing him
down.

Joe Mason was among the first to
extend a welcome home to the Angel
band and in a few minutes thereafter
he had collared Dolly Gray and Judge
Maggie and got back into the habit of
playing rotation pool. Joe prefers a
good ball game to a swell race, but he
usually permits business to interfere
with pleasure when the ponies are run
ming at Santa Anita. At all other
times he attends home games at the
Chutes.
Jack Berdie, formerly chief Of the
Arcadia police department, returned
yesterday from visit to Folsom, where
he went in an official capacity. He
took his big Scotch collie pal, Prince,
along with him and PAID 80 charges and
Prince is such an intelligent dog that

A Story About Rodin.

The Crl de Paris tells most anus ing story If true about Rodin and some unnamed rich American woman who had selected him to make a statue of herself. full length and so far as pos sible portrait. She had posed ten times in antique costume when Rodin told her that he did not need her any more and that he would finish the work at his leisure. When the Ameri- can came again she found to her amazement that the head of the statue bore no resemblance whatever to her. She complained bitterly that no one would even recognize her. Tt is true," said the great sculptor dreamily, "Your head did not inspire me at all. At first I thought would not put any head on the statne. as have been accustomed to do of late. but after had thought 1t over carefully in order not to offend you I put in place of your face that of Mime. de R. She had ordered hers of me, but never paid for it. At any rate, you win gain much by this change"

 Writing of experiences with Spanish hospitality. Ellen Maury Slayden in the Century says:
 The cafes were always crowded to suffocauon, and yet we fingered past the small hours, the men smoking doz- ems of cigarettes and the women dip ping bits of wafer into chocolate as leisurely as if they had the night in- stead of the day before them. A fa- vorite drink was thin almond milk which looked like something for the complexion and which. after tasting, would have much preferred applying externally. There was refreshing ab- sence of the highball and cocktail ele- mont, and no one ever seemed to take too much to drink. t 1,
 It is always amusing to see these most temperate people tricking them selves into wanting glass of water. They recommend certain dishes and enjoy their eternal chocolate chiefly because "it makes one so thirsty" Visiting country house once, we were invited into the dining room and I hoped for tea. The table was elabo- rately spread. We were seated and each helped to delicious conserved peach and tender1y urged to eat 1t to make us want some water. When we had eaten the peach and drunk the water the ceremony was complete.

Experience cafriss Influence - Old
 Members Relied on For Work.
 A mans standing in congress is gained by seniority. His influence there comes from length of service, provided, of course. that 1t is the right kind of service.
 New men. no matter how ambitious and zealous. have very little influence. They do not and cannot begin their work where their predecessors left of. speechmaking does not bring them in- fluence. Work brings it-committee work.
 Members rank in their committees by seniority. Besides, new members do not get and cannot get in the usual course of things appointments to the more important committees. These appointments go to the tried men, who by length of service coupled with abil- ity are chosen in the house for tho va cant places.
 Some constituencies know this and act accordingly. Some constituencies Ignore the fact and gain nothing by ignoring 1t. In fact, they lose weight in the councils of congress by ire Quently changing their representatives simply to gratify the ambitions of To- cal politicians.-Boston Herald.

A Tardy Act of Justice.

Marriages between English actresses and men of high social position be- gan in the eighteenth century, if no earlier. There was Lavinia Fenton, the Polly Peachum of Gays 'Beggar's Opera" who became Duchess of Bol- ton; there was Miss Farren, who mar ried Lord Derby; also Miss Brunton became Lady Craven not long before Lord Thurlow married Miss Bolton. Earliest of the list, though, comes the Earl of Peterborough. who married Anastasia Robinson, the singer, and kept the marriage secret until few days before his death in St. James palace. when he assembled his relatives and friends and publicly acknowledged the woman ito whom he owed the best and happiest hours of his life," tardy act of justice that caused the lady to swoen away.
