NO USE OF BEING A SPORT
Sullivan Offered to Flip Coin to See Whether He SouId Serve Ten
 Years or Nothing.

This is the sad story Of one of the most thoroughbred sports known to the history Of hazards. His name was Sullivan, and he had blue eyes and Ted hair, with g brOgUe to match his coloring. John Hays Hammond. the mining engineer. met him in prison in South Africa at the time when Hammond and other men were held as captives by the BoeTS in connec- tiOn with the Jameson raid. The en- g!neer and the Irishman became well acquainted.
 Probably you wonder why I'm in here" said Sullivan, one day, when the thermometer had gone as high as II in the shade. Well. I'll tell you; l got into lStle trouble, and I plead ed guilty to it.
 Five years,' said the judge
 Your honor,' I cried out. I'll throw heads and tails with YOU to see wheth- CT it shall be ten years or nothing
 And would you believe it, Mir Ham, mond? That judge got mad and added on five years, anyhow. And now I'm serving that extra five years. Whats the use Of being a sport -t?''-Popula. Magazine.

HIS DEATH LEAVES BIG GAP
Smoking Room, Had Known Gen. eratons of Members.

Scarcely any figure could have de- parted from the house of commons and left so great gap in the intimate life of members as has been occa- stoned by the death of Collins, the waiter in the upper smoking room. For something like fifty years he had been in the service of the house, and he had known whole generations of members, who looked upon him with almost affection. The upper smoking room Is the true center of serious gos- sip in the house of commons. IT. is the place where men speak their minds to one another Collins, in mov- ing about among the tables, heard all the gossip. and no man was so in- fallible in interpreting the real opinion Of members-an opinion not always expressed in more public quarters.
 Some few weeks ago garden party to the staff and police of the house of commons. NIT. T. P. O'Connor made general reference to the unique posi- ton of Collins. He told how. when Mir. Lloyd George was in doubt about the passing of his budget, when all the political authorities told him one thing or another, he went to Collins, as the best informed politician, to know what ought to be done
 Collins was an ideal waiter. know ing the preferences of his regular GUS toners and needing no order from them when they entered the room over which he rulec. He seemed to have the secret of perpetual youth. His round, sunny, boyish face. his alert hess and his uniform cheerfulness gave To him an appearance of juven- 1lity which belied all statements as to his age. He had the true Irish tenn perament. was witty and ready. and was never known to be out of sorts" No man was more generously treated or more highly respected by his cli- ents.-Westminster Gazette

LARGE CROWD SAW RACES
Continued from Page One)

tCOntlnucu rom Page One) The time of the first heat which was taken by DOnasham was 31%. 1904. 1:39, 2:13A. The time of the second heat which was won by Mabel Van was 331a. 1:06A, 1:40 and 2:15A. In the third heat DOnasham made another struggle securing the pole early, but in this heat Cresto was coming into his own. Nothing had happened except that he was on the outside and had to work his way around. This he did pas sing everything on the track but Mabel Van. The record was 33h, 1:071k, 1:42. 2:151a. In the next heat Donasham made a fine start gaining the pole but his effort was futile. Cresto crawled up at the half and at the head of the stretch led them all. winning finely Time B, 1:06l2. 1:42, 2:15h. The last heat Cresto dropped back from the pole to come up little later which he did but none too soon flor he only took the last session by a nose with Mabel Van almost tasting the money. The time was 24. 1:0S12. 1:43. 2:17A. Cresto should be watched for his future con- duct He has been a money winner all summer long and save for two heats yesterday has never been outside of it. He is only four years old and this is his first season on the track. The horse is handled under lease by J. F. Dunn and driven by Ben Walker The owner is George w. Lowery of San Francisco who is a visitor at the fair.
 The 2:1S pace. for s1,OOO, was a race worth while in many ways The most important feature of it was that il gave the fair commission an Op portunity to show its fairness and a couple of horse owners an opportu- nifty to show their gameness. There were five entries. one of them, Cleo patra, was known to be faster than the others and certain of the drivers sought to make terms with the owner of Cleopatra. l. l.. Borden of San Francisco, whereby the money would be split up. win or lose. giving BOr den the big end of it. He told them he came down to race for the money. win or lose and would make no deal Three horses were withdrawn. leaving only Cleopatra and Ben Hal m the race The fair commission told Driv CTS Durfee and Parker to get busy the race was on.
 The three heats were taken easily by Cleopatra, though Ben Hal made a fine showing. drew the pole in the start and secured it again in the two succeeding heats. It was easy to see that Cleopatra could travel away from her opponent whenever it became necessary. The time is given in the schedule. Cleopatra was bought by Mir Borden not long ago for s1.0OO. and the horse has won her cost since he secured her. He is a wealthy san Franciscan, who takes great interest in horses and in mati- nee races.

Outspoken Youth.

On a recent railway trip a boy of perhaps seven years and his mother occupied the seat directly in front of me. The boy kept up a running fire of questions as to the name of the next station. The mother was either unfamiliar with the name or too in- different to be accurate.
 When the station was reached the boy demanded the name and on re- ceiving the correct answer said: You told me lie before" A similar con- versation was several times repeated, the boy each time saying, That's an- other lie," and finally he shouted: You've told me lies ever since we started A man seated near, becom- ing exasperated, leaned toward the boy and in threatening tone said:
 Young man, if you don't keep still while I will throw you out of the window" and the boy, boldly facing the man, said:
 And that's another lie!"

The boy was drowned while bathing brought home his few garments and dilapidated old shoes, with the word that the body would hardly be re- covered
 The woman's first thought was that she wanted her husband to know of their loss and come to her comfort. He is employed as kitchen helper in a boarding house run by a woman in the north end of Manhattan. I tele- phoned to his employer, and she calm ly replied that the man could not come to the telephone, no servants were permitted to do so; nor would she give the message to him. He is particularly busy today, and I cannot spare him. was her harsh reply. Rather hotly I informed her that l would immediately telegraph him, and she replied that the message would not be delivered until after working hours.
 Later I learned that I should have reported the matter to the police de partment and a policeman would have been sent to inform the father; but as the matter stood, the distracted mother had to wait for the comfort of her husband until after working hours,' nearly ten hours, at that"

Looked the Part.

Sir Thomas Robinson, wealthy Englishman of the last century, was a tall, uncouth man, and his appear ance was rendered still more striking by his hunting dress, which consisted of tight green jacket, buckskin brooches and a fur cap. He once set off in his hunting suit to pay visit to his sister in Paris, and he arrived at the house while there was a large company at dinner.
 The servant announced Monsieur Robinson" and in walked this remark able figure, to the amazement of the guests.

How Divers Fish.

When diving lessons are going on at the Newport Training Station there is always fish for supper. The thick black mud at the bottom of the bay is dotted with founders, big fellows that the divers easily capture by hand and bring up without any trouble. It is hard to walk on the sea floor with out stepping on them, where they lie half buried in the ooze. All the man under water has to do is to stoop and pick them up. Being sluggish fish, they make very little resistance and are hauled up to the surface by the tail or fins without any fuss. Big eels, too, are plentiful, fat, green fellows thick as mans arm. It would take a stout net to hold them and no diver dares to tackle one, no matter~how much his mouth waters for eels stew ed in milk. The muscular contortions of such eels as inhabit Newport har- Dor would be pretty sure to foul the lifeline or airhose and would prob ably result in the divers death, so the men in the diving suits confine themselves to the complaisant founder.

Geooraphy Lesson From a Shrimp.

Dr. Gaillard. a member Of the Til ho mission, discovered in Lake Tchad numerous shriE9s Of a species well known to naturaii3ts, but hitherto found only in the Nile and it's tribu- taries. This discovery leads physical geographers to assert that the basins of the Nile and Of Lake Tchad were once in communication. Fer it is i'm possible 10 imagine that the very fra gile eggs or larvae of Palaemon niloticCs, as this shrimp is called, could have been transported from one basin to the other by aquatic birds in the manner that seeds are carried
 The topography Of the intervening region is not yet sufficiently known to make it possible 10 assert certainly that there was once great lake O. marsh between the Ni;e and Lake Tchad or that a tributary of the great river once tcok its rise in the Sa- haran lake, but there is a vast de- pression about the Bahr-el-Gazel re- zion that makes this hypothesis seem probable.

NOVEL FENDER
 FOR AUTOMOBILES. Pedestrians Hoisted By Life Saving Device.
NOVEL FENDER

ss By the adoption of a novel and eff fective apparatus, it is claimed that loss of life through automobile ac-, scidents will be reduced to a mini s mum, and render the danger of the streets to pedestrians far less serious than they are at present. The latest invention to attract the close -atten- tion of motorists as well as manufac- turers and dealers is a device destin-' ed to afford protection to pedestrians sw who, through unforeseen circum- stances, happen to pass in front of an | Automobile or any other motor vehi- lcle when crossing a thoroughfare.
 The invention is. the result of an accident at Amsterdam, Holland. Where a mechanics witnessed a child run over by a trolley car. The ac- lcident made a great impression on the mechanic, and he worked for sev- leral years before bringing to a state of perfection an apparatus that would aprevent similar accidents to pedes- ! trians After the plans were ma terfalized the patent was taken out in France owing to the fact that Hol- Hand does not protect any invention by a patent law, After it's adoption by France, Grchduke Franz Salvador of Austria, an enthusiastic motorist, and other European automobilists be- came interested in the ingenious in- vention.
 The device. which was brought to this country last week by Simeon s. Weyl, a prominent fnancier of Am sterdam, is a scissorlike fender, at- tached to the front of the car and operated in such a manner as to make 1t practically impossible to knock pedestrian down. Hundreds of trials have been made, with the automo- bile travelling at varying rates of speed from ten to sixty miles an hour, but no serious accident has happened at the trials.
 To demonstrate the practicability of last week in Central Park when an automobile equipped with the appar- atus was set in motion, and when running down a hill at thirty miles an hour one of MT. Weyrs assistants suddenly rushed in front of the ma- chine, just as pedestrians sometimes do in ordinary street traffic. Instead of being crushed beneath the wheels or thrown to the ground by the mud guard, he was snatched up into a net as by miracle and borne along m safety until the vehicle was brought to Q standstill The operations was repeated several times, until any doubts in the minds of observers as to the practicability of the system were removed.
 4 similar operation was tried with a ten-year-oId boy, who deliberately placed himself before the car equip ped with the apparatus. He was pick ed up. and placed in soft of divan before the car, without the slightest sign of a scratch as the result of the experiment.
 The demonstration showed that the careless pedestrian is picked up by the apparatus before the vehicle ts
