What .Traxelers Leave.

"Of the thousand and eight things
left ut hotels from time to time" re-
marked the hotel clerk, razor strops
have the other commodities pushed
across the border in point Of numbers
About 10 per cent of the people who
have razor strops in their grips leave
them behind. OF course the reason is
that the strop is hanging up on a nail
out Of sight somewhere when the man
packs up, and he doesn't think about
it. His comb and brush are right on
the dresser before him, and that's
easy.
Next to razor strops, though not
hustling the strops for position, come
the nighties of both genders. A good
many send back after them, but lot
more people who leave them behind
just abandon them. After so long we
give them to charitable institutions.
Then there are toothbrushes, slippers,
combs, curling irons, soap boxes,
clothesbrushes, and list Of other
things left behind longer than an ex-
pense account every month. People
are just that forgetful."-New York

Want One Of These Farms 2

The great agricultural develop
ment now going on in the west is
attracting widespread attention, and
every land opening calls out
thousands of letters of inquiry con-
corning the opportunity for settlers.
Just now unusual interest centers In
tine Truckee-Carson irrigation pro-
ject in Nevada, where a thousand
farms offered to homeseekers by the
government open alluring POSSIBLE
tiles.
" These lands are free to every bona
f1da homeseeker, the only expense,
with the exception of the nominal
filing fee, being the pro rata share
of the cost OF building the irrigation
system. This charge amounts TO $50
per acre, payable in ten annual in
stalments, without interest. There
is no drawing or any element OF
chance in applying tor one of these
farms. 1t is only necessary to make
a homestead entry at the land office
at Carson City or at the office of the
land commissioner at Fallon, Me-
vada.
> Nature has endowed few regions
moreliberally with all the elements
necessary to build up great CON-
monwealth than are found. in this
section. The fertile fields grow al
falfa, cereals, fruits, vegetables, in
fact practically all the products of
the temperate zone; the climate is
dry and delightful, and the valley Is
singularly free from severe storms
The sun shines almost every day in
the year. The great mining regions
furnish home market and good
prices for everything that can be-
raised, and splendid transportation
facilities connect the project with
the commercial centers of the coun-
try. The government irrigation

dant supply of water. The rivers Of

FASTEST HORSE IN THE WORLD
Dan Patch Will Race Minor Heir to
Beat the Worlds Record.

Horse lovers and all followers OF
the racing game will be given an I'M
usual treat at the Michigan State
Fair Sept. 2-10 when they see Dan
Patch (1:55) and Minor Heir (1:691a
night 1t out for the worlds champion
ship honors.
M. W. Savage, who for several
years has been the owner of Dan
Patch, recently purchased Minor Heir
for $4,000 and has consented to let
horses appear in a series of races.
True to his first love, Mr.. Savage
insists that as long as Dan Patch
stays right he will be able to defend
the championship against all corners,
even against the fleet son of Heir-at.
Law.
Mr.. Savage has given orders that
both horses be trained to the minute
and that when they go their race ex.
hibitions each shall be driven to his
limit so that there will be an honest
test of speed, gameness and stamina
There are some horsemen who be-
lieve that Minor Heir will develope
as great, II not greater, speed than
Dan Patch. He was a green PAGER
last year, and as such gave some of
the most wonderful performances on
record. He has terrific flight of
speed, and II under the scientific care
Of Harry Hersey, he can be fitted so
as to hold his lick for a mile, he will
give Dan Patch all he can do.
From present indications It Is evil
dent that the Michigan State Fair
never had so popular a drawing card
as the scheduled race between these
two worlds champions.
Thousands Of people will go to De-
troit for the opportunity merely to
see these two champion horses go in
one of the greatest races in the his
tory Of the wofld.
While discussing the two horses
short tiWe ago Mr., Henry C. Hersey,
superintendent OF Mr.. savage's farm,
and famous 90 the trainer and driver
OF Dan Patch, had the following to
say
~ am now working Dan and Minor
Heir twice q week, Tuesdays and
Fridays. am repeating them now,
giving each the last mile around 2:35.
I will continue In this way until I
begip working each horse four heats
on Tuesdays and Fridays. On Mon.
days, Wednesdays and Thursdays and
the horses are now logged
about four or Eve miles, and l will
continue this after the more severe
work Is In progress.
"My plan ls gradually to work them
up to faster miles and to keep them
as big and strong as possible. Dan
Patch now weighs 100 and will work
down to about LOTS pounds, when he
IS at for great miles. His rival now
tips the scales at 1000 pounds and
will weigh IN close to 1000 pounds
when he Is ready.
! want to keep them both as big as
I can and still have them hard and
not fat inside. am slowly working
OF the surplus fat, changing it into
"At present am giving Minor Heir
q little more Jogging and a trifie
sitter work than the champion. He
needs to develope more staying quail
ties. The physical condition of each
horse seems perfect They have
plenty of lick and are feeling almost
too good. Dan never looked better at
this time of the year"
