STIRRING OF YOUNG MANHOOD
Fathers Idea of Teaching Little Son
a Lesson Didn't Seem to Turn
Out Just Right.

The little three-year-old son of a
proud North side father and mother
became so greatly interested in a pho
nograph belonging to one Of the neigh
bors that he quite forgot to go home
at his accustomed bedtime.
Tell you what we'll do" said his
father to his mother. "WeTl put out
the lights and pretend we've gone to
bed. That will teach Master Bonnie a
lesson"
When the little chap hurried home,
about eight o'clock, he stopped in con-
sternation at the gate on noticing that
the place bore a dark and gloomy as
pect.
He called several times before his
mother, too kind-hearted to keep him
waiting any longer, answered him in
m~ake-believe sleepy tones.
What Is 1t, my child?" asked the
mother.
With trembling voice the youngster
replied:
Mother, will you please tell Benja-
MINIS father that his son is out here
and wants to come in?"
Next morning at breakfast the par
ents, who were prepared to hear their
little son excuse his conduct of the
evening before. were astonished to
hear him exclaim:
Papa, don't you think it's time I
was having a night ey?"-Youngs.

WAS LEOPARD's LAST FIGHT
Powerful, and a Fighter, but He
Proved No Match for Troop
of Balloons.

Ritter, the German sportsman and
explorer, not long since witnessed in
German West Africa a most unique
battle between a leopard and a num-
Der of balloons.
1t appears that leopards have a
particular fondness for baboon flesh,
which is frequently employed as bait
to trap them. Ritter was resting one
afternoon on the shady side of a
large rock that formed the bank of
a small stream. He saw on the OPP
posite side a troop of balloons come
down, chattering, toward the water.
They were led by a big male, who
cautiously reconnoitered. The OBJ
server kept perfectly motionless, in
order to observe any sport that
might ensue. A deep grunt from the
leader assured the other balloons that
all was well ; so down the slope they
clattered, a female with her young
bringing up the rear.
Suddenly from behind a bowlder
there leaped out a big leopard. With
one blow he knocked over several
balloons and grabbed one of the
young. With a yell of fury the
mother threw herself upon the Loop
ard. The others halted, and with
one accord jumped back to the moth
er's assistance. The leopard finished
the female, and was just about to
make off with his prey, when his
troubles began. He was Immediately
surrounded by the whole troop of
balloons, which closed in upon him.
For a while the big cat gave as good
as he got, and lots of balloons tum-
bled down the slopes apparently done
for, but in the end numbers told,
and the big leopard was literally torn
to pieces.

permanent and speed. Horsemen are
unanimous in admitting hat they will
be the grandest looking team OF
PAGERS ever seen on any track and
that with any kind of luck they should
place the worlds record close to the
two minute mark.
The exhibition of Dazzle Patch, the
fastest son of the worlds champion,
Dan Patch, is expected to arouse as
much, If not more, enthusiasm than
the great team. Dazzle Patch has
been a half mile In So seconds when
but twenty-eight months old, Is a
beautiful colt and is unquestionably
the fastest PAGER Of his age the world
has ever known. He resembles the
champion in many ways and has his
sire's peculiar ability to arouse the
enthusiasm of multitudes.
Mr.. Savage has contracted to have
Dazzle give a half mile exhibition, but
If the colts condition warrants 1t and
weather and track are suitable his
owner has stated that he would let
the colt marvel step a mile against
the worlds record Of 1:55.
In addition to these remarkable
speed features the weeks racing pro-
gram includes a purse offering of $780,
900 and a large number of the most
famous horses in the country will
gather to fight 1t out for honor and
big stakes during the week. The daily

new WORLDS
RECORDS At FAIR
WORLDS FASTEST HARNESS
HORSES WILL STRUGGLE TO
WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS
ON LABOR DAY.
Minor Heir, George Gano, Dazzle
Patch, Dan Patch and Others.

If you want to see a new worlds
record made you must come to the
Minnesota State Fair on Monday, Sep
TENDER g." -.
This is the statement made by Sec
rotary j. @. Simpson of the state fair
and corroborated by M. w. Savage,
owner Of the fastest harness. horses
now In training. A contract has been
closed by the management with Mr..
Savage for a trial against the worlds
team record by Minor Heir, 1854, and
George Gano, .2:02; also a trial against
other worlds records by the greatest
colt speed marvel the world has aver
known, Dazzle Patch. ,5
To those conversant with harness
horse matters 1t seems certain that If
the weather is favorable on Labor
Day records will be broken and horse
history made. The worlds team rec
ord is now 2:02%. made by Hedge
wood Boy and Lady Maud C.. in 1909.
For ten years previous to that this
record stood 2:05A.
The men who know Minor Heir and
George Gano have every reason to be-
lieve that they will not only lower this
mark, but will put 1t at a point where
1t will not be bothered for, many years
to come.
Minor Heir is acknowledged to be
the fastest harness horse in training
and there are many who claim that,
without a pacemaker In front, the
Heir-at-Law horse is faster than even
the worlds champion Dan Patch was
In his prime.
However this may be, Minor Heir
has been a dozen miles under two
minutes and when he starts over q
good track and is in good condition
a two minute mile Is merely play for
him.
George Gano has been two miles in
two minutes or better in competition
although he did not get credit for this
time as he was beaten in each in.
stance by Minor Heir. Gano Is the
hero of many a hard fought turf bat
tie and Is admitted to be one Of the
gamest and fastest pacing horses now
in the racing game. These two horses
have been hitched to pole and worked
together admirably. They are remark
ably we'll matched In size, gait. tenn
