JEFF USES Up HIS SPARG PARTNERS AND DEMANDS MORE WORK TO DO
WIZARD BEDWELL
BUYS PENNYROYAL
Successful Owner Fails to Win
First Race, but Expects
Great Things of Colt

Although H. G. Bedwell took a strong
stable to New York he continues to add
to the string when he sees horse he
likes. Last week the successful owner
bought Pennyroyal from the Wood
haven stable, paying $1,000 in cash,
with the understanding that he should
give $500 additional out of the first
purse won. Bedwell tried to win the
youngster out in a five and a half fur
long scramble, but little A. Thomas
made too much use of him.
At one stage of the race Pennyroyal
had lead of six lengths. but the pace
told on him and he tired the last six
teenth. The colt was beaten by In
cision, a Cesarion youngster, in the
stable of w. G. Yanke.
Pennyroyal is by Wild Mint out of

BOWLING ANALYST.
HONESTY OF WOMAN
QUESTIONED BY SAVANT
Greater Social and Industrial
independence Needed

Are all the old illusions about woman
to go? The Massachusetts professor of
psychology who called her a savage
now alleges that her honesty, espe-
ciaily in financial matters. is very
nearly case of pure fiction"
Woman's reputation of superior hon
esty was acquired before she became
the subject of Psychological research
before professors began to study her
as they would an entomologic speci-
men and analyze, dissect and classify
her character, says the New York
World
1t may be that the sex is not as
honest as has been thought. 1t is
possible that, speaking generally,
woman's dependence on masculine ca
price for income beyond the bare
means of support and the necessity
she has been under of obtaining money
for herself by indirect methods have
tended to blunt her perceptions of
moral values in finance. 1t was not a
woman who made the discovery that
money may be tainted
But If the charge is true the greater
industrial and social independence of
women should eventually correct the
fault. Yet will women look to men
for examples of abstract honesty?
However that may be, If woman is to
retain any shreds of her reputation il
is clear that she should engage experts
for her defense against the phycho-
logical muck raking to which her char
acter has recently been exposed The
case for the prosecution has been pre-
sented with such animosity that a lit
tie competent evidence in rebuttal
would be welcome.

ORDER OF THISTLE
RECORDS RESTORED
Edinburgh Cares for Papers of

The placing in the register house in
Edinburgh of the records and papers
of the Order of Thistle for safe Gus
tody is appropriate. For 15O years or
more all investitures have taken place
on this side of the border and the rec
ords have been kept there. says the
London Globe The history of the or

The restoration of the records to Scot

pletion of the new Thistle chapel in

Two condolences in connection with
the Order of the Thistle are worthy of
notice. The real founder of the order
died before his plans became effectuaI.

that the two kings who were so deeply
interested in the order were not per-
mitted to carry out their intentions

FOUR STAGES IN USE
OF SIGN OF THE CROSS
Swastika Traced Back Fourteen
Centuries Before Christ

The sign of the cross, in common
with other universal emblems. saws
the Chicago Tribune, presents four
clearly marked stages in it's develop
ment-a simple idea, elaboration, sane
tity and decadence.
The erux ansata of Egypt, which
was originally a water gauge begin
ming with a simple stick set upright
on the bank of the Nile to indicate the
height of the annual overflow. was
elaborated first by the addition of
short horizontal bar. thus forming a
tau cross. the symbol sacred in Phoe-
nicia to Tammuz. and later by the sun
circle, finally changed to a loop. max
ing the object a handled cross.
Thus juxtaposed the fertility of sun
and water suggests the generative
powers of nature This symbol ap-
pears in the eatacOmbs with the sun
circles transformed into a laurel
wreath expressive of the triumphant
faith and hope of Christians.
The first historical appearance OF the
swastika, or armed cross. fourteenth
century B. c., is apparently on a small
leaden figure three and half inches
long found by Doctor Schliemann in
the second city of the ruins OF Troy,
together with many crosses OF gold.

MEN OF RED BLOOD ARE
THOSE WHO RULE WORLD
Boast of Ancestry in Blue Line
Needs Backing

When we say that a man has red
blood in his veins we mean, as rule.
that he is of heroic mold as to his soul.
if not his stature, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. We mean that when his quar-
rel is Just he will not yield to arrogant
assumption or superior numbers. He
is not easily discouraged; he persists in
believing that he has another chance;
he talks of what will be rather than
what might have been.
In the veins of the gods of the an
Client Greeks there flowed, not red
blood, but a thin and watery substance
called ichor. which accounts for the
transcendant ignobility of most of the
Olympians.
Spartacus, Leonidas, Pheidippides,
real red blooded men, were superior to
the gods whom they made in thir own
image. How disgusted Diomedes must
have been when he wounded the gods
who espoused the Trojan cause, and in
stead OF blood he found only pale
and colorless serum exuding from their
veins.
Blood is thicker than water. and
blood will tell. Marpessa did wisely
to make choice, not of god, but of
sturdy shepherd for husband-a zeal,
live man and not a dazzling appariHon
who hid behind thunder cloud when
ever there was any real danger, as a
cuttlehsh takes refuge in his inky
cloak.
There is no effective substitute for a
real man. Machinery can not displace
him. No craven image, no automaton
will do instead of him. He knows his
own mind, and he knows men. and he Is
qualified to command a whole regi-
ment of those who shrink and hesitate
and palter.
If the choice must be made. red
blood in ones veins is to be preferred
to blue. There are some men who are
forever boasting of what their revoA

To deprecate the assumption of supe

a precious heritage.

posed for pictures.
COrbett was the first to don the
gloves with jeff. Gentleman jim"

| over the opening session with the big
fellow and his sparring this afternoon
was of the spectacular order. Corbett
boxed fast and he did not take any

that right hand uppercut in improved
fashion. He clipped the big fellow sew
eral times with snappy uppercuts on
the chin. but they failed TO make any
impression on Jeff. and he kept forcing
Ccrbett around the ring.
1t is doubtful il there is a heavy
weight living who can use this right
hard uppercut with more skill than
Corbett. jeff displayed considerable
science at times by avoiding them and
stepping out of harms way.
LETS LOOSE BATTERIES
There were times that JEFF opened up
and showed flashes of speed, and then
it could be seen what ne could do when
he really opened up his batteries. Cor
eett adopted a defensive style. as he
wants to get jeff acquainted with this
style of boxing. 1t is generally con-
coded that Johnson will put up a de-
fensive battle.

ever, and battled back samely.
1t is probable that the next time JEFF

able to go at least five rounds.

ness, so Jef will have four sparring

captain to take the man on board, and
he began:
Once upon a time a famous general

bridge, so that they had to cross over

The man kept on saying, "Tramp,
tramp. tramp" for some time, until the
people grew tired of it. At last one
said: "Yes, but go on with the story"
You must let them get across the
river" the man replied. "One after the
other-tramp. tramp, tramp
Presently the people stopped him
again and asked him to miss all that
part of his story, but the man replied.
s.They can not cross the bridge in a
short time; they must go slowly and
carefully, one after the other, tramp.
tramp, tramp and so the man kept on
and would say nothing else.
At last the boat reached the end of
its journey and the story was never
