ORIGIN OF FAMOUS PHRASE
Belief that Common Political TERI
SPrang From a Horse Race Held
in Tennessee.

The political term dark horse is
thought to have had it's origin In the
following circumstances:
In the lasg century there lived in
Tennessee d character named Flynn,
an elderly person who dealt in horses.
Flynn generally contrived to own
speedy nag or two for racing purposes
if he could arrange for "a good thing"
during his peregrinations throughout
the state.
The best Of F9ynn's flyers was a
coal black stallion named Dusky Pete,
almost a thoroughbred and able to go
in the best of company.
One day Flynn visited a town where
E. race meeting was in progress. He
/ entered Pete, The people knowing
/ nothing Of the horses antecedents and
not being over impressed by his ap-
/ pearance, backed the local favorite
/ heavily against the stranger.
| Just as the beasts were being sad
! died for the race, a certain Judge Nc
hlinamee, who was the oracle" Of
( that part OF the state, arrived on the
/ course and was made one Of the race
! judges.
As he took his place on the stand he
was told of the folly Of the owner Of
the strange entry Running his eye
over the track the Judge instantly rec

| AIinamee, there's q dark horse in this
race, as you'll soon find out"
/ He was right. Pete, the dark horse, %
/ lay back until the thrae-Quarter pole
was reached, when he went TO the
front with q rush and won the race.

Il try to be an efficient city direc-

at recommending a beauty doctor to

That is one OF the first things they
want to know. Churches, theaters,
even dressmakers can wait a few days,
but the beauty doctor is an immediate
necessity Unfortunately, they do not
get much satisfaction out of me. Any
number Of beauty specialists leave
cards for distribution, but so many OF
them have been mixed up in lawsuits
that I feel squeamish about delivering
their cards. To satisfy my own con-
science and the women at the same
time hand out bunch Of advertise

they are about all alike.

DISSOLVE BONE IN THROAT
Use of Lemon Juice at Critical Time
Is Thing Worth Keeping
In Mind.

Sitting at a planked shad dinner in
Yonkers, laughing guest drew bone
into his throat and he began to
strangle. Some one suggested that the
sufferer swallow a fragment Of dry
bread.
"Oh, no." exclaimed an Ossining
man. Don't give him bread 1t might
catch the bone and 1t might not. Give
him something that is sure to give re-
lief" Reckoning to a waiter, he said:
Bring me lemon, cut in two" And
1t was brought without delay. Taking
one section, he offered it to the chok-
ing guest and told him to suck the
Juice and to swallow 1t slowly. Direc-
lions were faithfully followed, and In
about q quarter Of a minute the af.
ficted one placed the half lemon on
his plate, looked into the anxious faces
around the table and smiled
We'll, Joe," said one, how about
it?"
It's gone" was the reply, 1.-The bone
has slipped down"
Not exactly that" said the Ossin-
ing man. The bone slipped down, all
right, but it was melted first by the
citric acid. I never knew it to fail
to dissolve a fishbone. You can test
the power OF lemon juice by dropping
some on the fshbones you may have
lying on your plate
Several diners tied the experiment.
