what a Young Lady Stared AT.

A number of young women grouped
on the pavement on Main street,
above Schoolhouse lane, Germantown,
on Saturday evening, gazing intently
at an overhanging sign Illuminated
brightly by encircling incandescent
bulbs, attracted the attention of
some pedestrians. The sign, of
large proportions, was suspended
over the sidewalk from the old-fash-
Toned stone building which century
or more ago was known as the King
of Prussia Inn, the building being
one of the best known landmarks of
that historic suburb Part of this
structure is now occupied by a ton
serial artist named Hug, of German
extraction, and his unusually attrac-
tive sign reads, Hug the barber.

RACE TRACK MEN DEFEATED
Test Vote Showed 26 Votes For
Anti-Betting Bills.
Strong Fight by Grady and McCarren
They Attack Agnew Measure
in AH-Day Debate.

Albany, n Y.--The advocates of
the anti-race track gambling bills
scored victory in the Senate when,
after a debate that continued all day,
they succeeded in restoring to the
form in which it was introduced SEN
ator Agnew's bill amending the Pc
nal Code making gambling on race
tracks felony. The Senate Codes
Committee had amended this bill to
take effect September /, instead of
Immediately. BY vote of 26 to 23
the bill was restored to its original
form
The vote was taken to indicate
that unless something entirely I'M
foreseen happened between now and
the day when the bills came up on
the order of final passage they would
be passed. The opposition to the
bills were still insisting at midnight
that something" would happen and
that the twenty-six necessary votes
could not be mustered to pass the
bills.
The members of the Senate Codes
Committee reversed themselves in a
most signal fashion. Senator Wem-
pie was the only Republican member
of the committee to vote to restore
the bill to it's original form Both
Penal Code amendment and the bill
repeating the Percy-Gray betting law
were advanced to third reading
Six of the thirty-one Republicans
voted with seventeen of the nineteen
Democrats to retain the September l
amendment. These we're Senators
Burr, of Suffolk; Emerson, of War
rem; Gilchrist, of Kings; Grattan, of
Albany; Knapp, of Clinton, and
Wemple, of Schenectady. Senators
Fuller, of Kings, and Taylor, of Or
ange, were the two Democrats who
voted with twenty-four Republicans
to strike out the amendment
While the action of the Senate is
not final and decisive, it indicates the
passage not only of the Agnew Code
bill, but the two other measures nee
essary for the accomplishment of the
Governors recommendation, relating
to race tracks.
The opponents of the measures put
up spirited and stubborn fight, the
brunt Of the battle falling upon the
shoulders of Senators McCarren and
Grady, both Democrats. The cause
Of the Governor was championed by
Senators Agnew, O'Neil and Human.
While the debate was progressing
In the Senate the race track interests

two more Republican votes, and ac-

THEY GROW
Good Humor and Checrfulness from
Right Food.

Cheerfulness is like sunlight II
dispels the clouds from the mind as
sunlight chases away the shadows OF
night.
The good humored man can pick
up and carry off load that the man
with crouch wouldn't attempt to
lift.
Anything that interferes with good
health is apt to keep cheerfulness and
good humor in the background. A
Washington lady found that letting
coffee alone made things bright for
her. She writes:

In early times it was an opinion,
maintained even by philosophers,
that the education of the deaf and
dumb was impossible. 1t was then
believed that language could be &C.
quired only through the medium OF
the ear, as shown by the couplet OF
Lucretius:
ITO instruct the deaf no art could
ever reach
No care improve them, and no wis
e dom teach.
The first mention of instruction for
the deaf and dumb is found in Bede,
A. D. 6S5. No other case is met with
for some centuries. Rodolphus Agri-
cola, of Heidelberg, makes mention
of an educated deaf mute in his 'Dia.
lectica,' 1880. 1t was not until 1920
that instruction for the deaf and
dumb began to be general. - New

The horse is one of the most i'm
portant factors in modern warfare,
and his education for this purpose is
undertaken at great expense by every
nation in the world.
In times of peace only two-thirds
of the cavalry of the British army is
horsed. In times of war-such as
during the Boer War-as many as
100000 horses have been required at
short notice. Germany would need
about 100000 horses for cavalry
and artillery to put her colossal
forces in the field, while France could
do with 100000.
Britain's bill for army horses is
estimated at about 100000 a year.
France spends upward of 100000
annually, while Germany, it has been
calculated, must pay at least 81 $780,
