The fast Trots at the
Lexington Meet.

The 2:O6 trot for 81 800 the sec
ond day, The Pennsylvania for 2:1O
trotters June 1 for So, 900 the third
day, the So, 900 Free-for-All Trot
the seventh day; The October Prize,
another S.. 900 race, for 2:0S trot-
trs June 1. the eighth day, will
bring to the Lexington Meeting
every trotter of extreme speed
now racing. These will include
Dude Archdale, 2:044; Billy
Burke. 2:O34: Anvil, 2:06i; Baden,
2:054; Brace Girdle, 2:05t: Cheeny,
2:074; Zarrine. 2:074; Annie Kohl,
2:074; Oakdale, 2:07t; the Califor-
MIA mare Helen Stiles, 2:06t, j.
Malcolm Forbes, 2:08: Shawbay,
2:07, and many others. The Lex
ington Meeting is always full of
surprises from the fact that at that
season many horses reach their
best form and previous winners
frequently lose form, making the
result a matter of doubt. The
Pennsylvania is the championship
race of the year. 1t is the best
Known classic on the trotting turf
and needs no comment. The Octo-
Der Prize is a newly opened event
on the same plan. and the Free
for-All trot is the second of its
kind at Lexington. 1t is hard to
tell which of the above will eclipse
the others. So go to Lexington
early and stay there until the
meeting is over.

Roosevelt is the only spectacular
nominee for President in this race
and he is a marvel as a campaigner.
Thomas r. Marshall's is the most
epigramatic of all the public
speakers in this campaign. He is
coiner of new phrases as well as an
originator of new ideas. The plain
people understand Marshall. He
is a remarkable campaigner and it
is evident to all thinking men that
the Baltimore convention made no
mistake when it named him for
second place on the ticket. In 1908
there were 100000 more Repub-
licans than Democrats in the United
States. The revolution was nee
essary to drive the Republican
party from power and the bolt of
Theodore Roosevelt was the begin
ming of the revolution. Direct
from the national headquarters is
the conviction that Woodrow Will
son is certain to be elected Presi-
dent of the United States, that
Roosevelt is the man the Demo.
Gratis must defeat and that if an
election could be held today Will
lam Howard Taft would emerge
from the debris of defeat a poor

The Democrats Of the Eleventh
District earnestly believe that they
can elect Hon. Ben v. Smith to
Congress. They know they can
if they can get enough money to
pay the legitimate expenses of the
campaign. This they are in sore
need OF and an urgent appeal is
made to all Democrats who want
to see Caleb Powers beaten and
the district redeemed, to send at
least one dollar to Colonel Wood
son May, member of the State
Democratic Committee and mana
ger for Mr.. Smith, at Somerset.
Power is in nature the essen
tial measure of right" This tre-
mendous truth was uttered by one
of the greatest thinkers and mild
est hammered men of all time,
Ralph Waldo Emerson. Nature
allows nothing to live that is not
self-reliant; she sweeps into her
graveyard the thing that cannot
support itself. The hurricanes
blow through the forests and level
to the ground the trees that can
not withstand the blast. The hur-
ricanes of chance blow forever
against the human being and they
who are not fortified with inner
resources, who are not self-relant
and unafraid, are leveled like
the trees in the forest. There is
no nobler sight than to see a sap
ling bend before a strong wind
and then proudly right itself.
Every time we allow some one to
do something that we could have
done ourselves we undermine to
Just that extent the foundations of
Self-Reliance. All luxury tends
to degrade the human being by
making him more and more de-
pendent upon the external world.
The more a man depends on what
he has got, the less he will depend
on what he is. Every useless pos
session is only another brick
around the neck of Self-Reliance.
The human SOULS an inexhausti-
BILE battery, a storehouse of in
finite forces. 1t never fails the
self-reliant mind. Only extrane-
Gus opposing forces can destroy
those internal forces. How few
discover themselves How few
dare believe in themselvesl There
is nothing harder than the achieve
ment of a constant Self-Reliance.
But it is supremely great just be-
cause the few achieve it.-Ex-

HOW TO CLEAN SILK GOWNS
Gin and Water Cure Among the In
falllble Remedies for Soiled
Silk and Satin.

Now that black and dark colored
silks are again in fashion It is wise
to use our grandmothers remedies for
cleaning them-in the days when a
silk gown was a real possession.
Among the infallible remedies for
cleaning black satin or silk which
they knew of there was the gin and
water cure. A sponge dipped in a
mixture Of this was used to remove
the shine and clean It thoroughly. the
silk being afterwards ironed while still
damp.
In order TO keep woolen dresses and
skirts In good condition and freeing
them from dust, every woman kept a
cato .nine-tails OF ingenious manufac-
ture. with which she tlagellated the
gowns which were used for street
wear. This instrument Of torture was
made Of a short stick, to the end OF
which narrow strips Of leather were
attached. With 1t the material re-
ceived a thorough beating on cleaning

An old-fashioned method Of cleaning
white kid gloves which had lost their
first freshness as the result of ball
or a visit to the play. without being
absolutely soiled, consisted in cleans
ing them with white soap. Pure cas-
tile soap, procured at drug stores, was
merely dipped in water and then
rubbed over the finger tips, the gloves
having in the first instance been
drawn over the hands
