The Prize CavaIcade.

The cavalcadc of prize winners
formed as soon as the Marathon run
ners left the track and marched
around the track, presenting unique
spectacle. The long procession was
headed by the Waterville Band, then
came President Bartlett. Secretary
Fuller and other officers of the fair in
carriages.
The animals in the caValcade were
marshaled by Chief Marshal George
w. Perry with Carl Jones as marshal
of the horses and Clayton Weeks OF
the cattle.
The procession was a good one and
well handled. All the prize winners
of the horses and cattle were in line,
together with d few of the best known
race horses. First came the stations.
mares and colts. then the ponies, la
dies and gentlemen's drivers anc
matched pairs, and after them the cat
tie, making a procession which reached
almost half way around the track.

AT TOMB OF GREAT WARRIOR.
Description Of Last Resting Place Of
Genghis Khan.

Genghis Khan, the Mongol chief, In
the thirteenth century proved himself
one of the worlds greatest warriors.
His tomb exists at Edehen Koro, and
is described in Count de Lesdain's
From Pekin to Sikkim:" 1.-TWO small
tents, one behind the other, and con-
nected by very low inner door, made
Of worn-out felt, and admitting
through their rents the rain and the
wind, are the monuments destined
TO perpetuate the renown Of the
greatest conqueror the world has
known. Tho ashes of the body
Of Genghis Khan are deposited in a
kind Of chest, cubic In shape, and
placed on wooden support made Of
small colored pillars, adorned with
paintings on all its sides, except that
facing south, which is covered with a
finely worked copper plate represent
Ing divinity surrounded by four ami.
mails which are difficult to identify.
-. The tomb, In fact, has not always
been here, but 1t is difficult to know
exactly where the first descendants
Of the great emperor laid his remains" Z"

uNsUNe HEROES OF THE DEEP.
ufe-Savers Succeed or Fail Without
the Applause of the World.

The life-saver is never a demonstra-
tive fellow and rarely communicative;
also, he lacks imagination. You can
argue with Capt. Jim by the hour that
his life Is a hazardous one and OF ex'
ceeding interest to those engaged In
more peaceful pursuits, but In vain.
Only the details of his daily duties,
which are many and arduous, seem to
appeal to him; the romantic side, the
perilous side, he sees not at all. he
will talk by the hour of life.buoys and
life-lines, or night signals and wireless
telegraphy, of searchlights and motor
lifeboats; but of himself, who is the
life and power of 1t all. nothing, says
the Circle Magazine.
The government report is the sole
history of our unpretendlng heroes
of peace and very dry history 1t is.
OF nearly 10000 wrecks and rescues,
not word is printed, save a bare
record Of the time, place, lives and
property saved.
In every instance a small band OF
men went out to mortal struggle,
sometimes right up to the verge OF
death. A few went over the verge, SC
simply and quietly that their names
remain unhonored and unsung. They
battled alone, far away from towns
and cities, and the applause of watch
ing crowds.

Briuht as the Fire.

When Crewe hall was burning, the
late Lord Crewe, father of the present
earl, displayed a humorous equanimity
which st. James Budget deems wor-
thy of preservation In print.
When the historic mansion, with Its
works of art, rare manuscripts, armor
and other treasures, was blazing away,
Lord Crewe ordered footman TO
place a table on the lawn and bring
him an inkstand and some telegraph
forms. He then sat down and com
posedly wrote this telegram to Street.
the Royal Academician
Dear Street. Crewe is burning;
come and build 1t up again"
To his sister he sent another mes
sage by wire:

Dream Of GrouchY Man.

for this story, told a few days ago by
Congressman Adam Bede during a
brief sojourn in the city.
It's about a saan who got up

spond to his wife's cheerful greeting
and working himself up into a sullen
fury for no reason at all.

sweetly asked, all unaware of his

John DIS Simple Tastes.

Mr.. Rockefeller is democratic in all
his habits and tastes. In cold weather
he wears a paper waistcoat, as he be-
lieves that paper more than anything
else will keep the chest and stomach
warm. He also wears old-fashioned
wooden gloves, and when he is seen
outdoors on a winters day he looks
more like an old Yankee farmer than
the richest man in the world. He also
takes great care of his stomach, and
always did. When he is at work on
any puzzling problem he eats spar.
ingly, and recently, when downtown
at his desk in No. rs Broadway, he
would eat nothing more than a 15-
cent meal. This is not so much for
economy, however, as for the good Of
his health, and many will admit that
Mr.. Rockefeller pursues the proper
course in abstaining from heavy
meals.

MEASURE or TRUE GREATNESS.
Success Never to Be Counted In Piles
of Dollars.

What an unfortunate thing that the
idea should be dinned into the ear OF
youth everywhere that 1t is a disgrace
to fail-that is, to fail to make money,
to accumulate property.
1t is not q disgrace to fail; but 1t Is
disgrace not to do ones level best
to succeed. mot failure, but low aim
Is crime"
Multitudes Of poor people to-day
who are not known outside OF their
own little communities are really
great successes when measured by all
that makes true greatness-their
heroic endeavors, their brave battle
for years with obstacles. playing a
losing game with heroism. Their
great patience and wonderful self-con-
troll under the criticism of those who
do not understand them are evidence
that they have succeeded. The pos
session of a noble character is the
greatest evidence in the world that
one has succeeded.
On the other hand, II a man has
gotten fortune, but has left his man
hood on the way to it; II he has bar
tered his good name in the process OF
getting 1t, he is still failure, no mat
ter how much money he may have
accumulated.
A clean record Is the greatest kind
of a success. And how few men who
make big fortunes manage to save
their good name, to keep their record
clean!-Success Magazine.

Where They Came From.

1t Is surprising from whence came
the most common articles Of food. The
onion, the leek, garlic and pea were
favorites In Egypt; rye and parsley In
Siberia; the the citron and currants In
Greece, and radishes hail from China
and Japan.
The horsechestnut Is a native OF
Thibet, "The Forbidden Land" and
the mulberry tree, walnut and peach
travelled westward from Persia. Very
few consider that oats originated In
North Africa at time when Egypt
was the granary Of the world.
The chestnut came from italy,
celery from Germany, spinach from
Arabia, the sunhower from Peru and
cucumbers from India. Tobacco - ?
native Of Virginia.

Give Your poa More Water.

Fully one-half Of canine misery
comes from lack of drinking water.
The agony Of thirst trays dog temper
to the vicious point, and impatient
animals are much like cross humanity,
ready to resent an act or look.
Thoughtful families leave basins Of
fresh water where stray animals can
find 1t, but they are not many, and
they will never do as much good as
running water in places where It can
be reached at will. Dog lovers are
many but they do not always give due
attention to the animals which more
than repay their kindness and affec.
tion. Let US make New Years res.
olution to use our influence to estab.
lish few sensible preventives Of mad
dog scares, chief Of which is plenty Of
fresh water for all animals.

In the Amsterdam and Harlem
parks and woods the police dog is In
valuable and has already saved many
woman and child from molestation.
The idea that such dogs are about
causes a wholesome dread in the
minds Of would.be criminals. It IL
hoped that The Hague will also soon
be favored with canine additions to
the police force. for the extensive
parks and woods are often rendered
dangerous by tramps and other unde-
sirable individuals.

Athletic Arlstocracy.

The Italian and Austro-Hungarian
newspapers are full Of accounts of q
remarkable society cycle race in
which Countess Ilona Bethlen beat
the beautiful and athletic Princess
Letitia, Duchess d'Aosta, a fervent de-
yotee OF the wheel, as well as Signora
Barato, the most famous professional
woman cyclist in Italy. The latter, It
Is said, was promised $4,000 by a well.

his way.
"Must be embarrassing to ask man

unused John. "That poor fellow didn't

'Tisn't so easy, mebby. Like as not

These thoughts led to still more

briskly along. .
John Thompson stopped him. you

John WINGED slightly. Could tne

his line of talk. "I've got to have
a piece Of money, I tell you," ne SAID
with yehemence. I'm hungry. You
wouldn't stop to argue If you'd ever
been real hungry. Possibly you've
been reared in the lap Of luxury and

looks when you haven't even the price
Of a sandwich in your pocket"
"You seem like an intelligent fel'
lew" remarked Johns victim, sizing
him up, curiously. "You shouldn't
have to go hungry. There is work for
all in this world"
"You are complimentary" returned
John, "but it does not alleviate my
craving for food. My stomach has
been almost entirely depleted for "a
hours. Have you no sympathy? Is
tbere no feeling of humanity in youl
soul?"
"Your clothes are good tailor-madt
