 The Thoroughbred pOrtrays beauti- full and exciting race for love and hon or showing how a man in love with a young girl who was already in love with another tried to dope the houses which would decide the matrimonial question between him and his friend.
 It had been decided that should the horse win she should marry he" choice but if he was defeated in the race the first party should marry her. Plans had been made to dope the horse but he was discovered in time to save the day for the handsome young girl. The horse wins, the girl wins and all ends well for two parties.

Grandma's false teeth. 1 say, Leonar- do, that it would be impossible"
 MT. King had barely had time to finish his speech when a diversion occurred. Four men stepped out from behind a rise where they had con cealed themselves. They were masked and carried six shooters. Leveling the guns at the heads of the autoists they said in true holdup style. Money or your life." Consternation reigned. Nobody said anything. although Wilder was dis tinctly heard to breathe, as he thrust his hands high into the air. My Gawd,"
 Hold up your hands," ordered the grim highwaymen, every word snap ping like the crack of a pistol, and at every syllable the actors trembled
 Am holding my hands high enough?" asked the terror stricken King.

 Take all my money, and if that isn't enough I'll write you a check said Former.
 Never mind a check Your watch and ring will satisfy us for a while
 Gentlemen, spare a married man with a wife and five children" said Laforce whose wits were clearing. If anything could save his life. he thought the family story would do it.
 I ha pf this man" said one of the highwaymen. turning to a big man who seemed to be in command.
 Pink him then" ordered the cap tain.
 Laforce was giving way at the knees, when the highwayman said "On second thought I'll spare you. There's no use in wasting bullet"
 Last night was big night at the Coliseum. The actors came back without their watches, money. and jewelry. and they stopped everyone about the theater from Reeves to the call boy to tell them that those high waymen who held us up were cer- tainly desperate characters. We fought them for several minutes, but the bull lets flew. IillCh dTounu us, anu we Ntit finally overpowered by numbers. If We had only had guns!"
 They will never forget it as long as they live-and neither will Reeves, for when the reporter, who had heard of the hold up went to see him about it.. he pulled out a handful of watch es, rings, and money, and winking one eve. whispered
 "WeIl let them read about it in the morning paper. They wanted little excitement. Well l guess they got it all right. Scared! Were they scared? Why there isn't a one of them that will ever get over it. I'll bet anything Laforce shook his knee caps loose They are hardly able to 20 on with their act tonight. Who were the highwaymen? Well I'll tell you, but promise not to mention their names. They might not like it. They were Hugh Daggs. Jack Smith, and McRea. That's all there is to it.

THANKS TO BEAUTY PARLoRs.

Lady Duff Gordon, at dinner Tn New York. praised the beauty parlor.
 Tt has put back the clock at least fifteen years for women," she said "The woman of 90 today. thanks to the beauty parlor. hardly looks 35.( In fact might almost say that there are no old women any more"

Police and Fire Pension Fund.

The District Commissioners have
taken the proper stand in the matter OF
the deficit in the pension fund of the
policemen and fremen They cannot
without qualification afford any assist
ance to the humane effort which the
citizens are making in behalf of the
benehciaries of the fund.
As The Washington Herald pointed
out some time ago, bad precedent is
established when citizens undertake
through private contributions to supply
a deficit for which Congress is solely
responsible. The payment of pensions
is municipal matter, authorized by
law, and Congress is not acting fairly
with the District when, through its own
negligence, it. compels an additional
burden to be placed upon the taxpayers.
But the pensioners, deprived of a
considerable portion of the small
amounts allowed them each month. are
in distress. This is the reason why
t&he citizens have taken hold of the
matter, and it is a reason which ap-
peals to every sympathetic heart

nineteen years Ago and NDw.

Vice President Sherman has shown
himself to the unbelieving Democratic
New Jersey voters in an American
made all-wool suit. The exhibit was
made at Camden in behalf of Congress
man Browning, who seeks reelection.
Mr. Sherman was cheered when he
said that the cloth and the suit were
made in New Jersey, but when he add
ed that the total cost was "oniy $4S-44," /"
some of his audience whistled.
The Vice President gave a similar
exhibition many years ago. 1t was in
1892, and Mr.. Sherman was not then
Vice President, but he was, neverthe-
less, a champion of protection. He
showed himself in, Dolgeville in a suit
which he declared cost him altogether
only 81, his whole outfit from collar
to socks costing $o.25. He omitted at
Camden the other day, when advocat-
ing high tariff, to explain the difference
between the cost of his New Jersey
suit of to-day and his Dolgeville outfit
of nineteen years ago.
Perhaps Mr. Sherman can afford to
pay more to-day for his clothes than
he did in 1892, or perhaps material
and labor have both largely increased
in cost.

KEEP THE TRADITIONS.

Immortal Cherry Tree or Pocahon-
tas Legend Near to Our Hearts.
From the New York Evening Post.
The necessity of guarding our tradi-
tions has been rendered acute by the
havoc that has been wrought among
them of recent years. 1t may not be no
great loss to give up the story of JEFF
ferson's riding to the Capitol on his
horse and, having tied 1t to the fence,
going inside to take the oath Of inau-
guration-it is an inherently incredible
tale, anyway-but the immortal cherry
tree was nearer our hearts. The events
ought to have happened. Nor can one
surrender without a pang his vision OF
Pocahontas staying the jaws of death
at the risk. OF parental displeasure
Nevertheless, all these and many more
must be sorrowfully but firmly relegated
to the realm of the might-have-beens
The scalpel Of the investigator has been
too much for them. But there is no
need Of doubling everything merely be-
cause much has been undermined.
Rather should we cling the more closely
to those episodes against which history
has been unable to bring in a more con-
elusive verdict than mot proven" It is
of these that the stun of tradition is
made. And when we remember how
poor we are, at best, in this sort of
wealth, in comparison with most Of the
rest of the world, the duty of conserv-
ing the remnant of It left us becomes a
patriotic obligation.

The British Cabinet Changes.

-. The changes in the British cabinet do
not bring many new men into promi-
nence. In all, there were eleven ap-
poirtments, and the most interesting of
them was an exchange of Offices be-
tween Mr.. Churchill and Mr.. McKenna.
The work of the British admiralty is
naturally very exacting, and Mr.. Nc
.Kenna's health lately has been far from
satisfactory. He has done excellent
work there, and though the home Office
hardly can be said to be a rest cure.
the change of duties in itself will be a
relief to an overworked brain. 1t is
open to question whether Mr.. Churchill
who has not won golden opinions as
home secretary, having failed signally
when in the Hounsditch affair he or
dered out regiments of soldiers to sub
due two anarchists, will make as good
a first lord of the admiralty as Mr.. Nc
Kenna has been. 1t may help him not
to be brought into direct intercourse
with the general public.
Lord Darlington becomes the new
privy seal, and Mr. Runciman succeeds
him as minister of agriculture. In the
latter department energy is needed, and
Mr. Runciman. leading business man.

Editor The Washington Herald:
In The Washington Herald OF October
!. 1911. there appeared an editorial con-
tanning statements concerning my rela-
ton to the enforcement OF the pure food
law. which are so wide OF the facts and
which 50 vitality misrepresent my attitude
toward this legislation that feel war
ranted In calling your attention to them.
The first Of these erroneous statements
Is this:
'Tt was Chairman Scott, Of the Commit
tee on Agriculture, who helped McCabe
by adding a clause in the appropriation
bill OF 1911, which reads: Hereafter the
legal work of the Department Of Agricul-
ture shall be performed under the SUPER
vision and direction Of the solicitor
The records show (see hearings before
Committee on Agriculture and Forestry,
United States Senate, on H. r. 1852, Feb
ruary 19, 1910 that this paragraph was
inserted in the appropriation bill after
It had passed the House, by the Senate
committee, upon the personal request of
Secretary Wilson. When asked why he
desired to have this new language in
serted In the bill, the Secretary replied.
For economy's sake, principally" Ard
he then explained in a few words that
up to that time the Forest Service had
maintained a legal division entirely inde-
pendent OF the solicitors office, but that
IN his opinion, the solicitor, the chief law
officer Of the department, should have
direction OF the legal work Of the Forest
Service as we'll as OF the other bureaus Of
the department He added that under the
arrangement he desired to make, the legal
work of the Forest Service will not cost
half of what It has cost heretofore" !"
a nd hfa Gfof Nv arlx-
ing, There is no necessity for having
more than one legal officer in the de-
partment." The Senate committee
seemed to agree so fully with the Secre-
tary's view that there was no debate
upon the matter, Senator Warren, the
chairman. simply saying, That is per-
fectly plain"
When the amendment came before the
conference committee, OF which l was
member, the explanation OF the Secre-
tary was given by the Senate conferees,
and II seemed so obvious that all the
legal work Of the department should be
under the supervision and direction of
the chief law officer of the department,
that the House conferees at once ac-
cepted- the amendment. No one, either
in the Senate committee or in the Sen
ate. where the bill was afterward de-
bated, or in the conference committee
raised the question that the addition OF
these three lines to the bill would in any
way affect the enforcement of the pure
food law. The idea that 1t would do so GER
tainly never occurred to me, and so far
as the record shows, It did not occur to
any other member. either of the House
or Senate. Without now discussing the
propriety or improperly of the amend
ment. the record certainly does show that
! had nothing TO do with its insertion IN
the bill, and that my responsibility for
its remaining il. the bill Is shared by the
other five members Of the conference

lowed lt-and refer to that also without
reference to the propriety or improperly
OF it-of course, I had nothing to do

A New View of Arbitration.

In characteristically brilliant article
in the North American Review, Rear
Admiral A. T. Mahan lucidly states
what is unquestionably the main OBJ
stacle in the path of the arbitration
movement, so far as the settlement of
international difficulties through the
medium of existing law is concerned.
His argument is that existing law" !"
through impartial Interpretation, is
simply another way of saying that might
makes right, and that all the political
progress of the world has been made
not by observing law, but by breaking
it down and establishing better sys-
tenn. He ads:
"The early Stuart kings, notably
Charles |, with great care based their
oppressive actions upon law; upon law
obsolete in the sense that the progress
of the nation had rendered inapplicabIe
methods which in previous years had
been applicable, but still law existing
unrepealed. International law, as law,
has similarly to treat as legal a claim
which may have been issued against in
tolerable conditions. Claims of such
character could have been alleged for
the forcible retention of the American
colonies by Great Britain, and of the
Spanish colonies by Spain, up to and
including the deliverance of Cuba; and
such law must govern any tribunal
The judge decides what the law is, not
what il should be"
Presented in this light, arbitration,
the idealistic panacea for the ills
that beset nations, appears not primarily
as the averter of bloodshed, but as the
strongest bulwark of established inter-
national wrong.
