INTEREST IN HORSES
is ON THE INCREASE

Last year Iowa people had the
pleasure of seeing some of the great
est horses in the world. The exhibit
was par excellence the finest thing of
the kind ever attempted in connec-
ton with State air. The best
breeds were all represented. At the
State Fair at Des Moines this year,
Aug. 25-Sept. 2, the competition for
premiums will again be keen and it
will bring out the great studs from
all over the country.
A special effort is to be made in
arousing interest in the saddle horses
and Gen. John B. Castleman, of Ken
lucky, has promised to be present for
that purpose. He is known every
where among the lovers of fine
horses.
The speed department will be kept
up to it's high standard and the very
best race meet of the year will be
given in front of the great new am
phitheater.
A great feature will be "Penisa
Maid" the Iowa horse that last year
made such a phenomenal record on
the eastern tracks and proved to be
the fastest trotter of the year. Her
record is 2:04a.
Another very interesting feature
will be the races between the four
fastest PAGERS in the world, who come
with Dan Patch to show what PAGERS
can do. The four will not only go
in races but will have great team
race-Hedgewood Soy and Lady
Maud against Minor Heir and George
Gano. The records of these four are
respectively: 2:02a, 2:02a 1851,
and 2:023.

There never was "a president for a
day. This assertion has been made
concerning the late David L. Atchi-
son. but it is not true. lie was never
president of the United States. He
was president pro ten OF he senate
from 1888 to 1916, inclusive. The
4th OF March, inauguration day.
lS49, came on Sunday, and General
Taylor was not inaugurated until the
next day, March 9TH. AS President
Polk term expired at noon on sun
Cay. March 4th, and as the vice
presidents term also expired at the
81 re time, Mr.. Atchison was the
highest person actually in Office Until
General Taylor took the oath. and
cad both he ami Eicc president Fill
more died, he would have become
president. Some persons have there
fore claimed that Atchison was
president for a day''-that is, from
noon Sunday until Taylor actually
took the oath. But of course he was
not. A man is not president till he
takes the oath of Office as such, and
Atchison never did that. In actual
point OF fact, there was no president
for that time; but if an emergency
had arisen requiring the exercise of
the presidents functions, General
Taylor could have taken the oath at
once and assumed his duties. There
are possibly other such instances as
that OF Atchison, but there never
was president for day."

Did you ever stop to think that it
was one thing to talk about people
and another thing to have people
talk about you?' If those of us who
use our tongues little too freely
about our neighbors would stop and
reject about the matter and know
the great evil that comes from too
much talk and tattling, we are sure
we would call halt and gossip no
more forever.

Oriental Love.
CTO BE CONTINUED

1t has been said many time and
oft that Oriental women have not
been honored and loved enough. 1t is
impossible for US to understand the
heart and soul of races totally differ
ent in most respects from ours Al
though they never do show 1t in the
presence of third person. Orientals
love their women much indeed. Love
by them is not shown publicly by soft
words or kisses. pats and hugs. They
are often called ''henpecked," be-
cause they are SO under the influence
OF their women. Love is the food OF
the Oriental soul A few Of the Amer
lean women think they will love just
so long as they are loved, and the
consequences show a plenty in the
divorce courts. Such independent"
spirit in love matters such profit and
loss and happy-go-lucky marriage
ways strike an Oriental as gross. in
nate hopeless materialism. or else are
utterly unintelligib!e to him.

Roads Must Reduce Freight Rates.

Guthrie, Okla.-A general order to
all railroads in Oklahoma to adopt a
new schedule OF classified and com
modify freight rates was issued by
the corporation commission today.
The new schedule has been prepared
by the commission and will make a
general reduction from existing rates
OF from % TO IS per cent.
The commission does not establish
new rates, but reduces all rates now
existing to the same basis as the spe-
cial rates now allowed jobbers. This
alone reduces rates generally from
to 20 per cent. Secondly, the commits
sion makes joint two-line or more than
two-line rates 20 per cent less than a
combination Of the two, or more local
rates at present. The new schedule
goes into effect December ].
The corporation commission has
never before made such a sweeping re-
arrangement of rates in Oklahoma.

celted old chap, a wink or a nod from
one Of the other sex is enough to up

1t would be just like him, after all
our pains. But, as l said later when
we had gone upstairs, prophesying
about Terhune in connection with

SYNOPSIS.

Archibald Terhune. a popular young
bachelor OF London, is suddenly aroused
from the aimless and indolent life he
leads, by the startling news from the law
firm of Barnes. Wiloughby & Son, that he
is the heir to a sheep farm in Australia
bringing in an income of $4,000 year.
The bequest comes from an aunt, Mrs.
Georgiana James of Essex. She makes
him her heir on condition that he marry
within ten days or forfeit the legacy to a
third cousin living in America. The story
opens at Castle Wyckoff, where Lord Vim
cent and his wife. staunch friends of Ter
hume, are discussing plans to find Ter
hume a wife within the allotted time. 1t
seems that Lady Vincent is one of seven
persons named Agatha, all whom have
been close girlhood chums. She decides
to invite two of them to a party at the
castle and have Archie there as one Of

URGE TRACK ELEVATION.

Oral argument in three track eleva-
ton cases was had before the Indiana
supreme court this week. All the facts
in the cases are now before the court.
and it is believed that a decision will
be handed down before the Legislature
meets in January. In case the decision
should be against the city and railroad
companies, the legislature will be asked
to amend the track elevation law SO
that the city and railroads will not
be liable for damages to abutting prop
erty in track elevation work. The three
cases were combined before the court
for argument and it is expected that
one decision Will cover all three.

the coins bore the date of 1895, but
most of them were coined in 1880.
