It was the last day of the term in
one of our public kindergartens. The
children were all seated around the ta-
bles thoroughly enjoying the treat Of
Ice cream which the teacher always
provided on this occasion.
Glancing around the room at the
beaming faces of the children, the
Kindergarten noticed one child pick
up his plate and lick it.
She went up to him and said in a
low tons o. voice: Freddie, put down
your plate; it is not polite to pick it
up and lick it"
Fred obeyed at once, quietly plac-
ing his plate on the table. He then
put his head down to the plate and
licked it.

WON GREAT ENDURANCE RACE.
Seeord.Breaking Ride Sixty Years Ago
Along Old Santa Fe Trail.

When we come to talking about
modern endurance races for sport or
Tor pelf the present riders can scarce
y hold a candle to F. X. Aubrey, who
used to do some great stunts on the
roof of a bronco. In 1850 he made a
bet that he could cover the distance
from Santa Fe, N. NJ, to Independence,
Mo-, over the old trail in eight days.
1t is 765 miles between the two points
as the freight caravans travelled it, and
by that route on q wager of $1,000
Aubrey was to ride.
He succeeded in winning, making his
destination, the Jones House in Inde-
Dendence, three hours before the ex-
piration of that time. During this his
drst ride he killed a number of horses,
he death of one when within 25 miles
Of Council Grove compelling him to
walk to that place, carrying his saddle
on his back, where he obtained an
other animal.
This feat of Aubrey was regarded as
the greatest ride ever made by any
one in ancient or modern times and he
became the hero of the incipient bor-
der town, Independence, where he was
feted and made the lion of the day
His fame spread throughout the entire
west, including California, where he
was well-known.

the wonderful endurance of the man

had made the trip, still Audrey himself
was not at all satisfied with it, He de-
termined to break that record, and
the following season made another
wager of $4,000 in gold that he would
do 1t. He accomplished his record
, breaking dash across the great plains
in the marvellous time of only five
days and thirteen hours.
His objective point was the same
hotel to which he had ridden on his
former trip. On this ride, when he
reached that hostelry, he was per-
fectly exhausted and in fainting condi-
ton, his horse quivering from head
to foot and white with foam. Aubrey
was lifted from the back of the animal
by his friends and carried into his
room in the house, where he lay in a
complete stupor for two days. Six
horses, which previous to starting from
Santa Fe had been stationed at dis
tances varying from 25 to % miles
along the route, fell dead unde. him,
so terribly fast had he forced them
on.
He possessed beautiful mare,
Nelly, a favorite animal, noted for
speed and endurance, but she expired
at the end of the first $50 miles. On
his last great trip he rode day ,and
night, stopping only long enough to
leap from his tired animal and spring
on to fresh one. He made more
than 200 miles every "a hours, and all
the sleep he took aggregated but three
hours during the entire five days.

Queer Freak of Bullets.

real curiosity, in the shape of one
bullet imbedded in another one, is
owned by a Mount Washington (Pa.)
man, a veteran of the Spanish war and
the Boxer rebellion.
The curiosity is an old Springfield
lead bullet in which is imbedded one
of the new bullets used by the United
States army, Krag-Jorgensen. This
was picked up at Chickamauga by the
man while his regiment was encamped
there, waiting for orders to leave Tor
Cuba.
The ground there is full of the old
bullets used in target practice, and,
as the new Krag bullet is steel-point-
ed, it is thought the Krag shot fired
at target practice, struck and pierced
its weaker rival.
This man also served on the United
States steamship Wisconsin for sew
eral years as gun pointer. Among
other things he has gathered a large
collection of Chinese coins, a number
OF which are quite valuable at the
present time.

Four months after the salt waves
had laid at his feet the cold form of
his love, came the news that Herbert
Munson was the possessor of start
ling secret He had, 1t was stated, dis
covered Purple Ray that would with
er and destroy certain human cells of
memory without injury or danger to
neighboring cells. This rumor was fol
lowed by the still more amazing re-
port that Munson had erected the Man
sion of Forgetfulness, to which all who
would free their minds of a hopeless
passion might repair, and, in one brief
hour, forget.
And, sure enough, here they came
those who loved not wisely but too
well, those who loved deeply but hope
lessly, and those who loved the Dead
and could endure their grief no longer
and the Purple Ray "plucked from
the memory it's rooted sorrow" and
they went forth from the Mansion of
Forgetfulness unscarred and fancy
free.
Yet he who showed others how to for
get would not himself forget. 1t was
agony, to know that she was dead and
he would never see her face again,
yet he shrank from forgetfulness as
the soul shrinks from oblivion. Try
as he would, he could not drag him
self from the haunted hills of memory
though he remembered that the world
without was wonderfully fair, and 9th

were waiting there to love and to be
loved. No! Let others forget, he
would not! Not that he lived in hope

ory was all that remained of a Love
