for in nearly every race some
horse doesn't win.
And when a horse doesn't win,
you don't.
They have a jockey to ride
each horse. When the horse wins
everybody cheers the jockey. When
the Jockey loses everybody Kisses
the horse.
Sometimes a horse doesn't start
in a race because 1t has been
scratched. This Is done very likely
because the horse is itching to
win.
The jockeys wear different col
ors SO that they can be told apart.
| but they don't look as near alike
as the horses do. And 1t doesn't
do much good either. I saw one
Jockey in blue ride very yellow
race. He was a white Jockey, al
that, with a black record.
There is something exciting In
the clatter of the hoof beats out
at the track. 1t is almost as ex-
citing as the cIatter of the dead
beats that you find there.
| One of them came up to me and
said that he would give me the
winner in the next race. said
Thank you, but have no place to
keep a horse"
He said he had information di-
rect from the feed box. believed
him, for he had bran all over his
coat, as IL he had slept In the
feed box.
When the horse lost asked him
IL that was feed box Information
He said sure 1t was, that the horse
had been eating rolled oats, and
that made his feet slip from under
him when he tried to run.
Just as was leaving the track
a friend put me onto a good thing.
He put me onto a street car head
ed for home.

NY NTH.

Senator Warren had laid 1t to the
of the wool mar
ket, in consequence of the Boer
war in 1899. Whereupon Sena-
tor Gore remarked:
81 was left to infer that the rea-
son that the number of sheep de-
creased in the United States was
this: The sheep in South Africa
belonged to the International
Peace society; when the black
clouds of war were lowering in
that region they migrated to the
United States, and later on, when
that cruel war was over, when the
white-winged angel of death how
cred over the PROSTATE form OF
those stricken republics, those
sheep sorrowfully wendell theiI
way back to the green fields and
pleasant pastures; they trekked
their way back to the verdant
veldts of the once glorious Trans
wall"
And that is what made wool $50
cheap in Europe and throughout
the world that it stimulated the
production of sheep in the United
States"
Which shows that a blind man
can see some things better thar
some men with eyes.

Pierre, June "a year ago Fri

capitol was laid. Friday the last
stone of the exterior work of the
building was placed in position. and
the tower is now ready for the steel
construction which will rise forty
feet above the stone work. This re-
cord of construction if continued
for the rest of the building will
place 1T in condition to turn over
long before the end of the contract
time, and Contractor Olson is conf

least three mouths before the time
expires.
The tunnell connecting the powe

practically completed. and as soon
as the cleaning up about the struc-
ture can be done contracts will be
let for the filling of the grounds,
preparatory to the parking work,
which will be completed next year,

INCREASE IN
BANK DEPOSITS
Nearly Eighty Million Dollars In
South Dakota Banks

Pierre. June 26.-The last reports
Of condition of state banks, on call
for May 18th will show that at that
date there were 435 such banks do
ing business in South Dakota. which
were carving individual deposits
amounting to S45, ,222, ,661, which was
an increase of 81, 1913, ,l30, over the
deposits carried in the state banks
in February last. While the state
banks were carrying over forty-five
million dollars of individual deposits
the National banks doing business in
the state were carrying practically
S22, 900, 900, bringing the deposits of
individuals in the state up to very
near eighty million dollars. The
increase in deposits in banks of all
classes for the past three months is
close to three million dollars. A
few years ago the deposits ranged
in the vicinity of fifty million dollars
which was estimated to be one hum
dred dollars for each resident of the
state. While the population has
increased rapidly in Ike ratio with
the bank deposits, and the amount
for each resident of the state is now
more than one hundred dollars.
