Not long ago an officer of one of the staff depart
ments of the United States army was made a brlgadler'
general of the line. A younger officer sneered at the
promotion and said that the president was recognizing
hard duty done in the cracker and cheese department.

Some of the officers of the staff departments OF the
army have seen as much service on stricken nelds' d
have many Of their fellows of the line. Col. THOMAS
Cruise is doing duty in the quartermasters department,
and he takes more account Of shovels than he does OF

would sneer at the career of Col. Cruise.

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 un-
usual treat at the Michigan State
Fair Sept. 2-10 when they see Dan
Patch G:55) and Minor Heir 1:59h)
fight it out for the worlds champion
ship honors.
years has been the owner of Dan
Patch. recently purchased Minor Heir
for $4,000 and has consented to let
these two worlds fastest harness
horses appear in 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, If 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 a terrific fight OF
speed, and If under the scientific care
of Harry Jersey, he can be fitted so
as to hold his lick for mile, he will
give Dan Patch all he can do.
From present indications 1t 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 world
While discussing the two horses O
short time ago Mr.. Henry c. Jersey

and famous as the trainer and driver
of Dan Patch, had the following tC
say

on Tuesdays and Fridays. On Mon
days. Wednesdays and Thursdays and
Saturdays the horses are now logged
about four or five miles, and I will
continue this after the more severe
work is in progress.
"My plan is gradually to work them
up to faster miles and to keep then
as big and strong as possible. Dar
Patch now weighs LOO and will work
down to about 1,075 pounds, when he
! is fit for great miles. His rival now
tips the scales at 1920 pounds and
will weigh in close to 1000 pounds
when he Is ready.

How To Make Mischief.

Keep your eyes on your neighbors
Take care OF them. Do not let them
stir without watching. They may
do something wrong If you do. To be
sure you never saw them do anything
bad, but it may be on your account
they have not. Perhaps if 1t had not
been for you kind care they might
have disgraced themselves long
time ago Therefore do not relax any.
effort 10 keep them where they ought
to be. Meyer mind your own bust
ness-that will take care of itself.
There Is man passing along-he is
looking over the fence-be suspicious
Of him; perhaps he contemplates
stealing, some OF these dark nights:
there's no knowing what queer fan
cies he may have got into his head.
Ii you find any symptoms Of anyone
passing out Of the path Of duty, tell
everyone else what you see, aud be
particular to see great many. 1t H.
good way TO circulate such things, it
may not benefit yourself or any one
else particularly. Do keep something
going-silence is a dreadful thing;
though it is said there was silence in
heaven for the space of half an hour,
do not let such II thing occur on
earth; it would be too much for this
mundane sphere.
If after all your watchsll care you
cannot see that they have done any
thing bad, II row out hints that they
are no better than they should be-
| that you should not wonder IT. the
people found out what they were
after awhile-then there will be mu-
sic and everything will work like a
| charm.
Follow the above directions and you
will be pretty sure to make plenty Of
mischief.
