owned horses, and special races have
been arranged for this class
In addition to the Louisiana horse

THE USES OF LENT.
Affords an Opportunity for Rest and
Recuperatlon.

II is related that the prodigal son
in Scripture, after he had INDUCED
In riotous living for a season, was
reduced to a very poor and frugal diet,
and that while he was subsisting on
that diet he came to himself and did
some serious thinking, looking TO the
amendment OF his mannes 1s life. n
he had continued in riotops liy,ng IL
is not likely that he would hsve come
TO himself or given any thoughts to
MS iather's home or TO return to 1t
for the purpose OF leading a godly,
righteous and sober life. The period
OF forty days OF Lent, which began
Wednesday, is intended and set apart
BY many Christian authorities to give
opportunity for such thoughts as came
to the prodigal son while he was upon
the diet OF hnsks; naniely, thoughts of
clean living and OF the Fathers House.
Bishop Coke. who was at one time a
minister In this city, expressed the
conviction that people who will not
last willingly. sooner or later will be
compelled to fast whether they will or
no. That Is TO say. that the human
stomach needs rest as well as the
human arms and legs and that unless
II has an occasional suFcease from
overtaxation and overexertion, IL will
not continue 10 perform It's functions
with satisfactory results. All the win
ter young men and young women In
all the cities have been engaged In
social enjoyments which involve late
hours, too little sleep and too much
excitement. Lent viii afford an op-
portunity for all these happy young
people 10 rest and recuperate and to
indulge In some sober reflections upon
life. A great many OF the churches
In this and all other cities will be
open daily or at frequent intervals,
giving men and women the opportun-
ity 10 gather and consider and reflect
upon the world to come. The uses OF
Lent are manifold. II can be used
for the benefit Of body and soul: IL
can be used 20 promote self-controi-
and he that ruleth his spirit is better
than he that taketh a city. II can be
used TO bride the tongue, which Ia n
little member that no man--and no
woman either, for that matter-can
absolutely tame, but II can by persist
ent effort be brought into partial sub
lection. Lent is a good time 10 make
the struggle for some sort of control
and ascendency over II, and over the
whole moral nature.

TO OPPOSE JUDGE BRAsHEARs.
II is Said b. II. Anderson VIII Be a
Candidate.

Friends OF b. r. Anderson, Of Anne
Arundel county, a former member of
the House of Delegates, say that in all
probability he will be In the field az a
candidate against Judge James II.
Brashears for associate judge of the
Fifth judicial circuit, which rs COM
posed OF Carroll, Anne Arundel and
Howard counties. Judge Brashears
was appointed by Governor Crothers
to NIL the unexpired term Of the late
Judge Revell and resigned as mem
ber OF the State Senate in order to ac-
cept the place.
Judge Brashears is, OF course. a
candidate to succeed himself, and he
has, IL is said, the unqualified indorse-
ment and support Of Or George Wells
and his friends In the county.
MIR. Anderson, IL Is said. In former
years has been a warm political friend
OF DR. Wells, but as q candidate he
would unquestionably ba an anti
Wells candidate, as DIR. Wells, who is
the real organization leader. is be-
hind Judge Brashears. In the last
primary fight OF two years ago DIR.
Wells easily won, and his hold in the
county, II is said, Is stronger than
ever.
The anti-Wells people assert. how
ever. that the high tax rate at present
existing, together with the new vehl-
Gle law, by which a tax of S2.35 Is inn
posed on every vehicle In the county.
has tended to weaken the Wells ele-
ment Judge Brashears was in the
Senate when the vehicle law was pass
ed. II was introduced in the House
by Delegate A. Theodore Brady. II
is said to be an extremely unpopular
measure, and the anti-Wells people
propose. 1t is said, 10 make OF Il an
issue In the next primary fight.
