FUNERAL HONORS FOR A MARE
Trotter Destroyed in Fire is Given
Obseques in Keeping With At
fectionate Regard of Owner.

Betty Green, a trotting mare de-
stroyed in a fire at Belleville, ILL.,,
was given funeral honors in keeping
with her record of 2:10 and with the
affectionate regard of her owner, Will
liam l.. Reichert. The body was
drawn to the grave on the Walnut
Grove stock farm, by six blooded
youngsters, and was lowered by stable
boys. The coffin was rose lined. Mr.
Reichert pronounced a eulogy after
recounting the mares track achieve
mentS.
Perhaps Betty Green's terrible form
of death aroused Mr.. Reichert's sym
pathies the more keenly, but the In
tense love of a great race horse by an
owner is a primary sentiment. Maud
S. had more friends than any horse
in history, being approachable, in
quisitive and fond of contact with the
many whom Robert Bonner delighted
in taking to her paddock.
James r. Keene mourned Sysonby
as he would one of his family. This
superb runner had the admiration o.
the east without the popularity o.
Maud S., trotter and a record break
er in times when trotting was the
consuming passion. Mr.. Keene, who
never bet on the races, was to have
Sysonby's remains preserved, but his
| only monument is his unique position
among American thoroughbreds.

convicts College Students.

More than fifty convicts are enrolled
at the State Agricultural college at
Manhattan, taking the various courses
offered at the college. They are, SO
far as is known, the only convict col
lege students in the United States
Few, if any, of the convicts have ever
seen the college building, and it will
be some time before any of them can
see it, but nevertheless they are en-
rolled students doing regular work.
All the convict college students are
inmates of the United States peniten.
tiary here. They do their class work
in their cells and mail their lesson pa
pers to the college for correction.
Some of the convicts are studying ag-
riculture, some civil engineering, 9th
ers, mechanics, and some are studying
dairying. Nearly all of the students
enrolled in the agricultural or dairy
courses are men employed on the
prison farm or in the dairy.-Leaven-
