NOTES OF INTEREST TO
HARNESS HORSE LOVERS

Siliko won the championship of italy,
and also reduced the European mile
record with the latter. Small wonder
that Winans felt that he could afford
to W Allen Winter after the brilliant
showing made by his other high-priced
American trotters. Both Siliko and Icon
were purchased by George Ketcham
for Mr.. Winans at the close of the rae
ing season in this country in 1907.
The manner in which American-bred
trotters are holding their own in Eu-
rope was we'll Illustrated on the last
day of the meeting at Vienna, Austria.
The winners included the following.
Vertes, a bay stallion by Happy Prom
Use; Indiana, a bay flly by Prodigal;
Johanna L., a chestnut mare by Lance
lot; Kesergo, a black stallion by Dick
Miller; Countess Caid, a bay flly by
Caid; Campus, a bay gelding by AK
worthy, and Ekes, a gray geldlng by
Clayton. Seven races were on the carl
and all the winners were sired by
American-bred stations. Some of the
latter a1s still in this country and
others are owned in Europe. Onward

Circuit the past season, Onward Silver

The performances of Uhlan, 2:o7h,
gave the admirers of the Birgen fam
lily a chance to call attention to the
fact that the Birgens are not only
fast, but game. The Leading Lady 80,

year-old filly. She raced well, but was
not able to outgame The Harvester,
due undoubtedly to the fact that the
stallion had fully as much, If not more,
speed than the filly. The Birgens have
been noted for their extreme speed,
but there has been a question in some
quarters as to their gameness. but
Uhlan showed that he was as game u
horse as ever lived.

THE TREATY TREE.
Where Penn and the Delaware Chiefs
Exchanged Tokens.

Exchanged Tokens.
The treaty tree" the original Ameri-
can Hague, where our first peace con-
gress was held, with William Penn on
the one side and the Delaware chiefs
on the other, was mighty elm that
stood at Shackamaxon, on the banks Of
the Delaware river. Kensington, one
Of the suburbs of Philadelphia, now
surrounds the spot.
AS was customary on such occasions,
the parties to the treaty exchanged
belts of wampum, and the belt said to
to have been given Penn on this occa-
sion is now in the collection of the
Pennsylvania Historical society. Il
and white beads, and in the center are
two figures, representing a European
and an Indian. with hands Joined in
friendship. In exchanging tokens with
the chiefs Penn said:
"The friendship between you and
me / will not compare to a chain, for
that might rust, or the falling tree
might break We are the same as If
one mans body were to be divided into
two parts. We are all one flesh and
blood" When the Indians handed
Penn the wampum belt of peace they
said:
1--WE will live in love and peace with
William Penn as long as the sun and
the moon shall endure"
The treaty tree was blown down in
a windstorm March 10, 1910. Its age,
estimated by rings, is 283 years. The
William Penn society erected marble
column upon the site as a permanent
monument.-Kansas City Star. i.

QUEER TEACHING.
A Glimpse of the One Time Methods
In Scotch Schools.

A Glimpse of the One Time Methods
In Scotch Schools.
To the work of supervisor Of schools
in Scotland Mr.. John Kerr devoted a
number Of years. In his book, "OtheT
Memories, Old and New" he has set
down some amusing illustrations of the
unintehiEent way in which the school
work was sometimes conducted.
The revised code of education which
was introduced in 1862 made provision
for nothing but reading, writing and
arithmetic in their barest forms. There
was no suggestion about grammar, ge-
ography, history or intelligence in any
study. Explanation of the reading les
son was not demanded. and therefore
1t was neglected In some of the schools.
The following is an example:
The lesson was one giving an &C.
count of a clever dog which had res
cued a child from drowning. 1t was
said that the dog was caressed by the
parents of the child. l asked what was
the meaning Of the word "caressed,"
and the answer came at once, Made
OF fond led
On referring to the list of words at
the top of the page found the ex-
PLANTATION given was. made of, fon-
died"
Wishing to find out If any child In
the class had got glimmering of the
meaning, / went from top to bottom
and got from every child nothing but
made Of fond led." pronounced as four
words, to which they attached no mean
ing whatever
The teacher was surprised that l was
not satisfied with the intelligence Of
the teaching.

VALUE OF PUBLICITY.
Steve 5rodie, the Bridge Jumper, as q
Self Advertiser.

Self Advertiser.
Curiously enough. the man who, in
nv opinion, had the keenest intuition
of the value of publicity and used it
to the greatest personal advantage,
when we consider his humble begin
nings and the limited sphere of his en-
deavor, never really knew how to read
and write. knew him first as young
street urchin, making his living by
selling newspapers, backing boots, run
ming errands and doing such odd jobs
as fell in his way, and 1t was chiefly
through selling newspapers, whose
headlines alone he was barely able to
decipher. that he gained that knowl-
edge Of what Park row calls news
values" which one finds in every train
ed and efficient city editor.
1t was on the strength Of this knowl-
edge that this bootblack went one day
to a we'll known wholesale liquor deal
er on the east side and proposed that he
should establish him In q saloon on
lower Bowery. The liquor dealer was
aghast at his presumption until he
learned his scheme; then he capitulated
at once, and within few days the pa
pers had been signed and twenty-four
hours option secured on rickety and,
from nearly every imaginable point Of
view, undesirable premises near Canal
street and directly under the noisiest
and busiest and oiIiest part Of the ele-
waited railroad. This done, the boot
black made his way to the very center
.>R %I1 Ill Ill ho6 hoe
to the top Of the parapet and, needless
of the warning shouts Of the Mortified
onlookers and the swift rush of a pant
ing cop, dropped into the seething wa
tiers below.
1t was an unknown youth with an
earning capacity of few dollars q
week who disappeared beneath the sur
face Of the East river, but 1t was an
enterprising young man, an east side
celebrity, In fact. all ready for the di-
vine oil of publicity and with an as
sured income and possible fortune In
his grasp, whose nose feappeared very
shortly above the muddy surface OF
the water and who was helped by will
ing and officious hands into rowboat,
where dry clething awaited him, to-
gether with hearty congratulations on
the fact that he alone, of all those who
had attempted to jump the bridge, had
escaped with his life. The next day
the name of Steve Brodie was flashed
from one end of the country to the 9th
er, and within a very few hours after
his discharge from custody-he was
arrested on the charge of trying to
take his own life-he was standing be-
hind his own bar, serving drinks to
the crowds who came to cape at Steve
Brodie. the bridge jumper, and to pour
their money into his coffers.-James L.

UNFINISHED BOOKS.

Authors Who Died Leaving Stories
Partly Written.
Many writers, including the famous
Ouida, have died leaving behind
them unfinished books. One OF the
best known is, of course, Dickens
1.-THE Mystery of Edwin Brood" q re-
markably clever story, and one show
ing no signs of diminishing vitality,
although he was actually at work
upon it up to within few hours Of
his death.
Dickens great rival, Thackeray,
again, left behind him not one only,
but two unfinished stories. One Of
| these, Denis Duval," promised to
rank with his best work. Unfortunate
ly, however, he had completed only
seven chapters when he was stricken
down.
Scott, too, left a tale unended-"The
Siege Of Malta"-written while he was
on his last futile journey in search Of
health. This work has never been
published, although more than two
thirds OF 1t was completed at the time
of his death.
Then there was est Ives" left un-
finished by r. L. Stevenson, as was
'Zeph," by Helen Jackson, and
Blind Love-" by Wilkie Collins. Buc-
kle never completed his History Of
Civilization" although he toiled at 1t
for twenty years.
Among famous poems that were
never completed mention may be made
of Byron's. don JUAN" Keats "Hy-
perion," Coleridge's "Christabel" and
Gray's "Agrlppina. Sponsors "Faerie
Queene," too, is NO more than frag-
ment, although colossal one.
Lastly, there ought to be included
Ben Jonson's beautiful unfinished pas
toral, 1.-THE Sad Shepherd" found by
his literary executors among his pa
pers after his death and published in
its incompleteness.-Pe Weekly.
