although one of the hardest working
business men, that we ever met, finds
time to enjoy his young horses.
The lack of good colt races in this
State got on his nerves. He got after
the Maine State Fair officials but to
no purpose. In despair he turned to the
writer explaining in several letters and
at great length the need of colt races,
if the breeding of high class horses
was to continue in Maine.
The method of procedure was all
Greek to me and our friend McCusker
was as deep in the mud as we were,
in the mire." finally l met Frank Hay
don and sprung the scheme on him.
In five minutes he showed me how
the thing could be done and at very
small expense to anyone. His plan was
adopted without making change of
any kind. To me it seems a very good
one.
Tho breeders of the State by their
hearty support indorse it. If Mr.. Hay
den had not thought of any such plan
before we questioned him, it is a puZ-
Zle to me to understand how he formu-
lated the idea so quickly and at the
same time so perfectly satisfactory to
all parties.

President Taft Sends for Wickersham
to Come Back.

Nazareth, Pa, June 9.-Because of
President Taft's desire to have Attor-
ney General Wickersham in Washing
ton, during the conference on the rail-
road bill, the program for the COM
mencement exercises of Nazareth hall
military academy at which the attorney
general delivered the principal address,
was somewhat disarranged.
Mr.. Wickersham was to have been
among tho last speakers, but received a
telegram from the president, surnron-
ing hin. at once to a meeting of the
cabinet. The attorney general irnine-
diately prepared to leave for Washing
ton, but a later message informed him
that the meeting had been postponed
until O'Clock. The attorney general,
who was graduated from the academy
IN 1873, spoke on THE value of thor
oughness." He said in part:
1.-The besetting sin of our people to-
day is superficiality; we are too often

Commander Peary said to a friend

At the Grand.

attraction of the season will be here
tonight at the Grand, on its way from
the coast. This is the forty-third week
for this company and the last week
of their season and they make but one
stop between here and New York. It
isn't often that an attraction of this
caliber drops in on us so late in the
season but ''The Gingerbread Man" is
welcome at any time, and for those
that have never seen it a treat is GER
tainly assured. The locale of 1.-THE
Gingerbread Man. is laid in Fairyland
and is afterwards transferred to Bum
land, where rival kings dispute the
possession of each others respective
territory. The good fairy is imper-
sonated by male comedian, who adds
his usual quota of fun, and in con-
junction with the Gingerbread Man,
a creature supposedly made from GIN
gerbread. dominates the piece with
unctuous comedy and creates no end of
merriment for all concerned.

Petition Started to Have Them

Plenty Of Room in Park for the

There is petition in circulation
asking that the city of Topeka erect a
bandstand in Central park.
H. B. Howard, one of the leaders of
the ''insurgent' movement, said:
mo. won't risk a $500 donation in
Central park. had the impression that
that was real city park since we
are spending so much of the peoples
money in caring for the park. 1 be-
lieve it should be used for the enjoy
ment and entertainment of the great
est number of people.
"a few who live adjoining the park
look upon it too much as their own
little front yard and are willing that
the public in general should be con-
tent just to peek through the fence
at the posies-but keep out.
'As one old man said to me the
other day-'Why, Mr.. Howard, won't
it make good deal of noise and bring
a lot of people down here p -

purpose-to draw the people out to
the parks in the evening, to give them
a good time and keep them away as
much az possible from the everlast-
ing drop nickel here, etc. PROPOSE

Another good old soul said-'I
helped to organize this ere park and
put nigh on to $25 in it, and 1 don't
want it all banged up, were enjoying
it just as it is.' When 1 assured him
that we wanted more people to enjoy
it's advantages, he said-'Let 'em go
to Garfield or Vfnewood.
81 regret very much that the sem
timent is to be humored for 1 believe
with Mr.. Holman that more than
twice the mum ber living near Central
park want these band concerts than
those who do not want them. l think
it is high time we eliminate part of
the f1owef beds from our parks and
arrange for more playground room for
children.
by the way, what has become of
all that playground talk we had just
before the election?
There is plenty of room in Central
park for a bandstand and I hope /
shall see the day when this selfish idea
will give way to the real idea of big
city park and our citizens can feel
free to enjoy it without fearing that
they are treading upon the flower
beds of the selfish"
