the horses when they finished the
long contest A peculiar incident
was noted after the finish of the race.
Taplin, after passing the Judges
stand at the end of the fourth mile,
made no effort to pun up his mount,
and there were many who thought
that the little lad had weakened so
that he had nothing left with which
to bring his mount to a stop. II de-
veloped later that the boy became
confused in the number of miles trav-
eled and thought that he still had
another lap to ride. and kept the
winner on his way until he had gone
about a half mile. When he returned
to the stand he took the ovation ac-
corded him in n modest manner. al
though he said after the days racing
was at an end he could have shouted
for JOY.
TapIin is fast forging ahead as a
jockey, and already he is in demand
by outside stables to ride. He is a
gentlemanly little fellow and does
not allow his rapid rise to the front.

There is a large shed under which
is thirty patent shearing machines,
propelled by a big gasoline engine.
Along each side of this shed are pens
In which the sheep are driven in and
sheared after being caught by the
shearer, who shears one sheep in
about four minutes. One man keeps
talley of the number each man shears
a day andit generally keeps this man
on the jump to do this work. An
expert shearer averages about $50
sheep per day, receiving cents per
head This shearing stand is owned
and operated by Goslen brothers and
they shear about 10000 sheep of
their own while they shear sheep for
others at 3 cents per head. In all
about IS men are employed and sew
eral tents are employed in which to
house these people. The company
also runs big dining and cook tents
at which all the shearers and others
are boarded. 1t is quite an interest
ing spectacle to view this work and
it will pay you to run down and see
them at work. But be sure you go
when the shearing is in process, as
they do not work on some days and
you would not be interested to see
the camp idle. This outfit is to work
every day except when prevented by
storm or other cause.

Especial Correspondence of The Argus)
Washington. July 27-There is no
doubt in the mind of Minority Leader
Champ Clark but that President Taft
desires to sec his prediction promises
carried out. But, in Mr.. Clark's opin-
ion. Mr.. Taft has probably lost out by
delaying activity.
President William Howard Taft is
a fine illustration of the proposition
that man may smile and smile and
still have troubles of his own" said
the minority leader today in an ex-
elusive interview with the writer.
His troubles are with those of his own
political household
Not Popular with Congress.
General Benjamin Harrison. though
one of the ablest republican presidents,
was never popular with congress on
the contrary they frequently worked at
cross purposes. In fit of disgust, he
likened president to man driving
team of wild horses. Whether Pres
ident Taft would subscribe to the Har-
rison dictum this deponent saitd not be-
cause he knoweth not. Another 'f
President Taft's predecessors, Grover
Cleveland, in moment of WEAKNESS
bemoaned the fact that he had con
gress on his hands, saying which
has become common properly ana
which did not add to his popularit!

president Taft has given voice to no
such sentiment-a sentiment which
was most probably entertained by
Charles the First in the days of the
Lang parliament Still, there can be
little doubt that President Taft most
heartily wishes that the congress
would speedily conclude its business
and adjourn.
Good Faith Pinned to Result.
"That he really wishes tariff bill

ante-election promises of himself and
of his party there can be no question.
His own good faith and his own fame

Naturally he desires to preserve his
own reputation for candor and square
dealing. Hence it must be taken and
accepted that he is honest and earnes;

proverb about the fptility of locking

make his demand too late?

Thaw explained the evidence of
his alienists at the trial by saying
that in declaring him insane they
had been miSIed. They were told, he
said. that the charges he made
against White were untrue and they
inferred that the charges must be
delusions.

lower average rate than the Dingley
bill, when the average of the Payne
bill is 1.56 per cent higher than the
Dingley bill and the average of the
Aldrich-Smoot bill is something over 5

OF course by an extraordinary use of
