Harness Racing Part Of Education.
Encourage good, clean 'hoss' rae
ing and cut out all vulgar shows, and
you will have better attendance all
around" said Norman j. Colman, for
mer lieutenant governor Of Missouri,
at the convention of the American AS
ISOLATION of Fairs and ExposItions in
Chicago recently.
"God SO made man that he wants to
see contests" Mr.. Colman continued.
"He will stop in the street to witness
a dog fight and will watch two boys
battle. Ministers of the gospel and
others Of high moral tone will witness
a horse race that is purely a contest
for speed for purse where there is no
pool selling or other form of gam
bling. Nothing will draw 80 well as
good, legitimate harness racing. The
fair is a great educational institution,
and no boys education is complete
without it. At college he merely gets
a diploma. At the fair he is educated
horticulturally, agrlculturally and min
orally. Let the boy study these things
in the morning, and for the afternoon
dessert give him good, clean horse rae
ing"

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 16.-Nearly
1900 political friends and personal
admirers Of w. ]. Bryan attended in
the capacity of diners and speakers
at the democratic dollar dinner at the
Lincoln auditorium last night. Half
as many more occupied seats as spec
tators and heartily applauded the
good things said about democracy
and Mr.. Bryan himself. 1t was the
largest and one of the most success
full functions of the kind held in Lin
coin since Mr.. Bryan became an i'm

presidential nomination and declar-

those present the logical choice of the
party.
or those present, about 1000 were
Nebraska men, but there was a
sprinkling from nearby states and a
considerable delegation from Mis-
souri, and Oklahoma. The speakers.
without exception, were aggressively

Royalty and Money Cannot influence
the Bishop.
NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Archbish-
op Farley, of New York, who it is
rumored, may be made cardinal
at the next consistory, has definitely
refused to perform the ceremony un-
iting Count Szecheny and Miss
Gladys Vanderbilt. He bases his re-
fusal on his well-known antipathy to
the marriage of Catholics to Protest
ants. On many previous occasions
he has set the seal of his disapprov-
al on these alliances, he has remain
ed true to his convictions, despite
the prominence of the contracting
parties.
The wedding of Szechenyi and Miss
Vanderbilt, 1t is now said, will take
place a week from Monday, January
81. The match was at one time
broken of, owing, 1t is alleged, to
financial reasons, but the disagree
ment has evidently been amicabIy
settled and the counts relatives are
now here to witness the ceremony.
Mgr. Michael J. Lavelle, rector of St.
Patrick's cathedral, will oficiate.
There will be no civil or Protestant
ceremony.

The first mystery Of the turf season
Of 1908 has appeared in a yearling
colt in the stable Of James r. Keene
at sheepshead Bay, N. Y. There In lit
tie information obtainable about the
colt, except that 1t Is OF a dark bay or
brown color and is a wonderful goer.
The youngsters name and pedigree
are not known to any one outside the
stable, and Mr.. Keene's employees do
not talk about the horses they have In
training. 1t Is said that at a recent
trial the youngster did a quarter mile
with weight up In OLA S-6, some OF
those who saw the trial from afar or
making the time Ola fat. It has been

Deer Breeding Profitable.

"rhe business of raising deer as a mat
ter of profit may sound strange, but
there are number Of people in various
parts of the country who get lucrative
returns from their herds" said w. O..
Adams of Washington, ID. G.
"A friend of mine began raising deer
in the District of Columbia over thirty
years ago and has made money in their
propagation. For his bucks he gets $50
each and the does bring $75. Deer will
eat almost any kind of grain or grass,
even preferring the rankest weeds to the
choicest hay. They should always have
an abundant supply of clear, running
water. About the greatest item of ex-
pense connected with raising deer is
the cost of fencing. The fawns are us

BIRDS AND A MAILBox.
Letters Left by Carriers Interfered with
Nest of the Feathered Lodgers.

Letters Left by Carriers Interfered with
Nest Of the Feathered Lodgers
A remarkable story of bird intelligence
is told by Henry Babb of Bowdoiuham,
whose mail box is ON the r. F. ID. route
One side Of this box is broken, and some
time ago Mr., Babb found a bird had
built her nest in the box, going in
through the hole made by the broken
place. The bird set up housekeeping
in this novel home, and now there are
i've young birds and the mother.
Several times the mail carriers have
tried to drive the bird away, and at
first they took oat the nest and threw it
away, but every time the bird returned,
and after the young ones came they gave
up trying to dislodge them. Last week
Mr.. Babb found the signal set on the
box and looked for mail. but found none
IN the box,
This happened a number of times, so
often that he decided that someone had
tempered with the bon. So he asEed
the neighbors to watch out One day
when Il neighbor, George Hackett, drove
by he saw d bird flying from the box
with something in its mouth, He fol-
lowed the bird to a tree some distance
away, and there the bird stopped and
after dropping the article she carried,
few away.
Mr.. Hackett went under the tree and
found four letters addressed TO Mr..
Babb. Each one had been brought APP
parently by this unusual messenger
Just why the same tree was selected
every time seems strange. One theory
advanced to account for the removal
of the letters is that their presence in
the box interfered with the domestic ar
rangements of the feathered lodger. who
took this way to get rid of them. Lew
