The Evening Chit Chat
By RUTH CAMERON

THERE is a little girl in our street who retdces in the possession of a
dinky little pony and pony cart. BY reason of this good fortune she
is of course, the envy and admiration of almost every child in town.
There is scarcely a child in the ndghborhood who is not pasionately anx-
ious to be Dots friend.
Except-and hereby hangs the tale-except Donald. Donald is a
sturdy youngster, a little older than Dot of the pony cart. He moved
fore Dot a him and experienced love at first sight
Intoxicated by the position of distinction and power which the pony
cart has long given her, Dot tmmedia tey set out with serene severity to
annex Donald.
went after him. She came up to his home in the morning and offered to
drive him to school.
She took his sister driving.
If he went to the other end of the town after school to play with
other boys she drove after him and Inundated him in the presence of his
comrades by urging him to get in and take a ride with her.
Growing concession of all for her, she eve offered to let him ride
on the ponys back.
All this had it's Inevitable result-Donald being a genuine boy-that
Had Dot Of the pony cart approached Donald in any other way, I
think she might have out, for she Is not an unattracuve little girl
But she failed so utterly because she tried to drive her pony cart over a
obstacle that not ven her plucky little beast could surmount-and that
was the intrinsic nature of boy and man.
Thus are girls and women every where trying to do the same thing
with wealth or popularity or beauty or ONE other kind of a pony cart
And If the Ia is a real nan they almost inevitably nee with failure.
Man wants to pursue. He does not want to be pursued. Whether

places where she will be likely to meet him. She may make herself as
attractive as possible to him. She ma study his tastes But she must
never let him suspect she is stalking him any more than the hunter lets

Poor little Dot Of the pony cart. Sometimes I'm sorry for her, for
she Is a spirited little creature. and takes her defeat hard.
And then again, I'm glad for her. For, just think, she's learned now,

Force of Habit.

Speaking Of force of habit, some
years ago there was an iron railing
around the capitol grounds at Wash
ington. The appropriation bill provided
for a Waterman to close and lock the
gates every night at a certain hour and
open them at q certain hour every
morning. In the cours Of time the
railing or fence was removed, but the
gates swung between their Egyptian
pillars for a long time, and all that
time the Waterman came and went
regularly, closing and opening the
gates according to law and drawing
his salary.

Until recently the grosbeak has been
considered somewhat Of a pest, but
since the United States department of
agriculture investigated the habits of
this beautiful bird he has become a
desirable citizen. Seven kinds Of
1nches, commonly known as the gros-
beak, summer within our boundaries.
A majority of these are good friends Of
the farmer and deserve to be widely
known In order that their services
may be appreciated. The grosbeaks
are easily distinguished from other
f1nches by their stout form, bright
plumage, massive bills and melodious
voices. They live largely in agri-
cultural regions and secure most of
their food about cultivated lands. They
perform invaluable service in destroy
ing many Of our worst insect pests.

DRIVING CL Ub IS
AFTER $4,000
COLT RACE
Prospect Excellent That One Of
Several Events Now on the
Market, Will Be
Secured. AZ
Chicago Horseman Futur;ty Is One
Of Those Now Under Con-
sideration.

The Detroit Driving club, not con-
tent with securing the largest list OF
candidates on record for Its $4,000
NJ. a. NJ stake, is now inaugurating
systematic effort TO secure one OF the
great Futurities OF the season. In all
probability the event secured will DO
one valued at $4,000 or more, ana
Will include races for colts OF three
and two years OF age, respectively.
Last year the Blue Ribbon meeting
staged the Horseman Futurity. II was
In the nature OF an experiment, as no
recent colt race had been pulled on
at so early q stage OF the season. The
event was nevertheless well patroniZd
by the breeders and resulted In ex-
cellent competition. II also created u
demand for colt-racing to satisfy which
II Is deemed necessary for the De-
troit Driving club to repeat the event
or secure one like IL.
The negotiations leading to the pur'
chase OF a race are bit dinerent
from the usual run OF entry solicit
ing These races are usually promot'
ed by turf journals or breeding as
sociations, rather than the track man
agements. Colts are nominated at
birth or before. The entrance pay
ments are kept up, In case they show
signs Of speed and the event usually
brings from so TO 100 colts and fillies
down TO the final payment immediate
ly before race day, when all drop out
except those that have shown ability
enough to warrant the hope OF real
championship.
These races are marketed each
spring to the highest bidding race as
ISOLATION which comes into possession
OF a classy race, ready-made. The en-
trance money usually pays the ex-
penses OF the stake and provides the
purse. II there is anything over, the
sum Is annexed by the promoter or
the event He, however, also stands
ready 10 guarantee the event 10 have
certain value, In case entries are
not OF sufficient number to bring
II up to the standard set In the con-
ditions.
AS rule the fields OF the different
colt races differ but little. the same
colts being staked In all the events.
For this reason Il Is not necessary
for the Driving club to secure any
one particular colt race. However,
the success OF the Horseman stake
last year, makes II very desirable that
Il be secured again. Besides, q De-
troiter, Daniel j. Campau, Is the real
sponsor for this event. and Mr. Cam
pau is undoubtedly the man who has
placed harness racing in Detroit on
It's present high basis.
I'VE shall certainly stage one OF
the big colt races this year." says

Charles Y knight, the former Chi.

American bankers still exercise a
dominant influence In the automobile
industry, and the speculative element
has ordained that the industry's future
be termed uncertain, because OF the
approach of a doubtful presidential
election A tremendous curtailment
of output resulting. has put the bust
ness upon a cash basis as between
the maker and the agent. The pro
duction for 1911 will be fully 66 pei
cent less than for 1910.
There is a marked awakening,
Mr.. Knight adds, among the en-
glneers OF the big concerns on the Six
cylinder situation, which practically
has been seriously pushed by only q
few OF the makers. The American
market for 1912 will be marked by the
appearance of many new six-cylindeI
