ORIGIN OF FAMOUS PHRASE
Belief that Common Political Term
Sprane From Horse Race Held
In Tennessee.

The political term dark horse" is
thought to have had its origin in the
following circumstances:
In the last century there lived in
Tennessee a character" named Flynn,
an elderly person who dealt in horses.
Flynn generally contriyed 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 F1ynn's flyers was
coal black stallion named Dusky Pete,
almost a thoroughbred and able to go
in the best of company
One day Flynn visited town where
a 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 fayorite
heavily against the stranger.
Just as the beasts were being sad
died for the race. a certain Judge Nc
Minamee, 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
ognized Pete Gentlemen" said Nc
Minamee, there's a dark horse in this
race, as you'll soon find out
| He was right. Pete, "the dark horse,
lay back until the throe-quarter pole
was reached, when he went to the
| front with a rush and won the race.

HOW NATURE LEADS US ON
After the courtship Dreams With
Their Bright Hues Come the
Babies Future Dreams

Love is an illusion. Some seem to
take 1t as bitter thing that after the
honeymoon the married pair settle
down to the humdrum of everyday
ness. But, in the first place they
never quite become entirely disillu,
stoned. The stain of the rainbow lin
gers in the average marriage, and in
the second place, even if this illusion
passes, another comes, for there are
the children, and lover and lass who
once dreamed of each other now are
father and mother and must dream Of
the babies future.
Illusions are Natures device for get
ting things done. That is why she
fills young men so full of illusions as
to their own power. Heaven help us
if young people knew precisely what
they could do! They would do notL
ing at all.
And if girls knew just what mar
riage was going to be, and all their
future down to the grave, they would
never marry. Illusions are Natures
bait.
fife itself 8 progressive illusion:
'Maia" the Hindus call it.
And we are not LoC- CuDc-- Nature
is not cheating US, and sneeTing at US
the while. She is leading us on i
love, as We lead our little children

II try to be an efficient city direc-

at recommending a beauty doctor to
women guests.
That Is one OF the first things they
want to know. Churches, theaters,
even dressmakers can wait 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
