Horse Gets Tobacco Habit.

Burke, S. D., July 22.-Special to
The News: There is a freak horse
in Burke that seems to exhibit human
tendencies, as far as vices are con-
cerned, at least.
The horse is the property of Hiney
Snyder, rural mail carrier on r. F. d.
No. 8, and makes the round trip every
other day from this town to Lucas
and back Early in the spring the
horse became afflicted with worms
and Mr.. Snyder doctored him with
tobacco, with the result that the ami
NAL has become a veritable tobacco
fiend.
Whenever any one lights a pipe or
takes chew of tobacco within sight
of the horse the animal squeals and
paws and uses all of his equine vo-
cabulary in demanding share of the
luxury. A cloud of tobacco smoke
blown in his nostrils elicits a dreamy
sigh of content and nicker for
more, while a chew of plug seems
to make him entirely happy. He will
lick up handful of smoking tobacco
as though it were oats. Recently Mr..
Snyder lighted his pipe as usual and
climbed into his buggy to start on his
daily trip, but the horse refused to
bulge. He was never known to balk
and Hiney realized that he must have
offended the horse in some way. When
he went to the horses head to see
what was the matter the animal nosed
into his drivers pocket and dragged
out a package of tobacco Hiney
poured out handful and gave it to
him, which the horse consumed with
evident satisfaction and then logged
off on his daily trip with apparent
content.
Since that time it requires nickel's
worth of tobacco each morning to
start the faithful mail horse, and Mr..
Snyder is somewhat worried as to
whether he will not demand more and
become matter of no small expense
in the future. He is undecided as to
whether to attempt to teach the horse
to smoke, being fearful that it would
keep him busy lighting the horses
pipe and that the animal might balk
every time the pipe went out. Cigar
cites are out of the question, as the
South Dakota law forbids their use
by minors, and the horse is not yet
of age.

Many Norfolk people in automobiles
and by train went to Tilden Sunday
and watched Norfolk shut out the Til
den ball team with score of to O.
The game was Norfolk's all the way
through and the superior playing on
the part of the local team was admit
ted by Capt. Ryan of Tilden, who con-
ceded his teams defeat in the fifth in
ming. One batter striking at ball
was hit by the ball and one of the Til
den runners came home from third.
The umpire at first would not count
the score, but because the game was
threatened to be stopped unless the
score was counted he let it pass, but
declared it could not be officially
counted He was upheld in his de-
cision by Capt. Ryan, who declared
the game to 0.
Roy Bovee pitched for Norfolk and
his twirling was the feature of the
game. He brought Norfolk out of a
bad hole by striking out his man with
bases full. Hoffman starred in the
catcher's box and Glissman played
good team work with fast third base
man to help him back first base. King
don pitched for Tilden.

Edinburg, Scotland, July 24.-J We'd
rines, the French aviator, in a Morane-
Borel monoplane remains in the lead
in the circuit of Great Britain avia-
ton race for the Daily Nails purse.
He covered the distance of 343 miles
from Hendon 10 Edinburg this morn
ing in less than six hours actual fly
ing time Beaumont followed We'd
rines closely Weymann, still ex-
periencing bad luck, was held up at
Hendon awaiting the arrival of new
propeller.
1t was noon before Weyman had
equipped his machine with new pro.
peller. Then he started on a trial
flight in a tickle wind. His biplane
bucked like a broncho but he made a
safe landing. Later word was re-
ceived here that the American had
again headed for this city, going with
the speed of pigeon.
A great crowd assembled at the
aerodrome at Hendon at 4 o'clock this
morning to witness the getaway on
the second stage from Hendon to Edin-
burgh with intermediate stops at Har-
rogate and Newcastle. Through a
mistake of the timekeeper Beaumont
who should have started second, got
away first. Vedrines, after a few ex-
cited gestures, sailed away few Sec
onds later. Thousands witnessed a
splendid spectacle as the two airmen
sped across the aerodrome and they
we're soon lost to sight. Beaumont,
who was flying higher, was quickly
overtaken and when Harrogate, 1872
miles from Hendon, was reached, Ve-
drines had gained another few min
utes. This was repeated in the stages
from Harrogate to Newcastle, sixty
eight miles, and from Newcastle to
Edinburgh, ninety-three miles.
Valentine, the Englishman who is
making bid for the prize against the
Frenchman, was third to arrive at
Harrogate. He won the prize of silver
plate offered for the first Englishman
to complete this stage. He was de-
layed for an hour at Harrogate and
made low trip to Newcastle, having
by mistake landed outside the town
instead of at Gosforth Park, the Off
cial landing place.
Capt. Cody also reached Harrogate.
OF the thirteen others who completed
the first stage from Brooklands to
Hendon on Saturday c. G. Patterson in
Baby" Grahame-W White biplane, and
Lieut.. Reynolds, retired; p. Audemars
withdrew after making three false
starts at Hendon and the rest either
failed to get away or descended before
making Harrogate. C. II. Pixtob came
down three miles south of Harrogate
and smashed his machine, which prob
ably has put him out of the race. The
others met with minor accidents but
will continue.
The official times between Hendon
and Harrogate are:
Vedrines, 3 hours minutes 4 Sec
onds; Beaumont, hours minutes 81
