Spur a horse? You're Joking, sir.
Yes, wear spurs, because ride with
my heels out and my toes in, but II
you'll look again, sir. you'll see that
there's no rowels in them. Same way
with my whip. It's restful like for the
hand, and I'd touch my horses flank
with the handle end, to signal him,
but as for hitting him-why, there
amt no animal more willing than a
horse, nor one with more human intel
ligence or more anxious to please, If
you treat him right.
Yes, l suppose it is gift, this un.

some men understand horses, but pref

gets to know them. That's what I liked
about Miss Millicent. Came Of horse
family, Kentucky born, and what she
didn't know about horses-why, she'd
talked horse since she was q baby,
and her father, Colonel Emery, owned
the finest stud in Lexington. Miss Mil.
licent was brought up with the idea
that man who couldn't ride was only
half masculine. And riding's more
than sticking on and waving the reins
up and down or clicking to say go
faster"
guess that click was what first put
me wise to Faulkner. Finely made
man he was, fine clothes, though some
what flashy to my taste, and Miss Mil.
licent certainly took to him. But
when heard that little click of his
was on to him. A gentleman, sir, will
no more click to his horse than he
would to you and me. A little pres

needs to make him trot, and a pres

since horses first had saddles set on
them. And so, mister. when l heard
Faulkner clicking under his breath

Then again he didn't ride natural.
He looked as though he'd taken IL
lessons for $40 to make hit with
Miss Millicent. Sat straight enough,
toes In, hands down-until the trotting
began. Then he'd show too much day
light between the saddle and those

ride her too hard. What's the game"
When l told him he swore he
wouldn't take any money. 1t was as
good as a play, he said. and he hoped
I'd tell him all about it the next day.
You see, when you touched Nancy's
flank, ever 80 lightly, she'd run round
and round like spinning wheel until
you got dizzy and tumbled of. And OF
course, none Of those country jays
who tried to ride her for the ten-dollar
prize had sense enough to keep his
heels off of her.
Cant let you have Beauty today,
sir" l told Mr.. Faulkner the next
morning. "Shes a little off her feed,
sir. But I've nice little mare here

says, knowing he was coward with
horses. For only a coward would have
misused Beauty so. "But don't spur
her." added, because If she Is a
little slow she does her best, and she
amt so young as she was"
You see, mister. l had to give the
fellow his chance. l warned him
that's fair. knew he'd tear her TANKS,
but wasn't going to let Miss Millicent
suffer If could help it.
"Mr. Drew" says I that same morn

amiss."

and when we reached Holmes Height
they had disappeared over the rise. I
knew Faulkner would just about have

time the trick mare was winded. And
sure enough, hardly had I got to the

screaming-not with fear. but with
laughter.
There sat Faulkner. clinging to the

AN OYSTER WEEK.

Oystersl Everything IS having us day. The south and the west have their corn palaces, the Pacific coast its floral festivities. Colorado it's melon day. the state of Washington it's apple day and California it's prune day The Canners have had a canners week and now the oyster men are proposing 10 hold in October an Oyster week. Good idea! We have been living in such time of fads, conCeits, misGnderstand- ings and misapprehensiOns, we have listened so long to those who think that every drop of water, every bit or food and every taste of candy has its perils to the consumer that we are in state of fear and trembling. The oyster has suffered with everything else. Now it is to have it's day, or rather it's week of all the palatable, healthy, strength ening and easily digested foods the oyster ranks first. Raw, fried, broiled, stewed, served in any way from the half shell to the chaffing dish, no of our epicures In other countries it is reserved for epicures because of it's high price. Here it is one of the cheapest of our foods. We are glad we are to have an oyster week. It is a good thing not only for the oystermen, but for the American people who are the greatest consumers of oysters iIi all the world. Let the people rulei Let the oyster stew!-F'rom Leslie's.

COMB SAGE TEA IN
 HAIR ID DARkEN II
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy, thick with a mixture of Sage
 Tea and Sulphur

The old time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darllening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand mothers treatment, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the greatest advantage.
 Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready tC-Use product called "WYeth'S Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" for about 50 cents q bottle. It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisteu your comb or soft brush with 1t and draw this through you hair. taking one small strand at a time, by uorn- ing the gray hair disappears but what delights the ladies with Wy eth $ Sage and Sulphur is that, besi1' es beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produce : that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is SO attractiVe: besides. prevents dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair Advertise ment)

The above was received yesterday by President Bullard of the Mari cOpa Auto club. It contains two meaty items of news which will be we'll appreciated by PhOenicians.
 The fact that Mrs. Adams is going to enter her car in the race comes as a surprise. Even J. C. Adams himself suspected nothing of the sort. Jack Slagle, Mrs. Adams driver, had intimated something of the sort when he was grooming the big car for it's trip across the ies- ert, but most of his friends thought he was jOshing.
 OIdfield, if he has good luck, will be in Phoenix this evening. He Is at Yuma this morning preparing for the last lap of his drive across the desert.
 The entry of the Adams car will make about four cars of that breed in the Los Angeles to Phoenix race swelling the entry list to date % the encOm aging number of fourteen.

PHOENIX FANS BILkED
 AT EVERY SCOREBOARD
Amazing Outrage on Public Discovered and Exposed; Crowds Cheated
 Right and Left.

Phoenix fans were well cheated yes terday when they went to the various bulletin boards to see the scores posted. The scandal is a far reaching one, and it's disclosure is likely to bring trou- ble.
 Instead of posting the scores the of ficiators at the various boards simply stuck up naughts until they had accu- mulated such a flock of Zeroes as never was before for a worlds series game Then, after two hours of waiting, the scorers relented and threw a three run sop to the fans
 With the posting of each return amazement. cheerfulness and despair grew among the spectators As the innings progressed there were little bursts of ''whees'' from the crowds around the boards and these noises be gan to augment as the game drew to- ward it's regulation length.
 As the wait between the ninth and tenth innings grew long. it was freely predicted that New York was scoring a million runs or so and there were lit tie flurries of betting on the result. Still, Philadelphia had loyal support CTS. When the figure three appeared on the board the word went round. "Old Plank has gone bust Which, come to think of it. was pretty near right. The three hits and the error which con- tributed the three Giant scores were the result of the old mans explosion
 But hope did not die outright It fingered a while and then grow stronger as the wait heightened for the last wire that would tell of Philadel- phia victory or defat No one pined that it might be tie score
 Philadelphia Nothing.
 The game was over before anyone realized it. Hardly could the fact find cfedence-the Athletics bIankedt What strange news was this?

AN AUTO ENTHUSIASM

Little Rock, July, 2-George Gray son manager of the large lumber mill of the Nashville-Graysonia Lumber Company at Graysonia, came to Lit tie Rock Tuesday in his large touring car, bringing with him his family. He remained during the day and then returned to his home. Mir. Grayson almost lives in his car, having made several cross country runs from coast to coast, so that little trip like Gray sonia to Little Rock is a mere pastime to him. He says the roads from Lit tie Rock south are very good, and will need but little improvement to make them to equal of any of the big bikes of the north and east.

TO LET CLUB
 CONTRACT TODAY
New Home on Sulphur Springs Road Will Be One of the HandsOmest
 In the South.

The contract for the erection of the new home of the Jefferson Country Club will in all probability be let this afternoon at meeting of the menl- bers. The magnificent summer home of this club will be situated aboIl four miles from this city on the Sul- phur Springs road and will be mod ern and complete in every detail. It will cost between 5000 and $6,0o0 and it is thought that work will be- gin just as soon as the contract is let.
 A meeting of the members of the club was held yesterday afternoon for the purpose of letting the contract but no action was taken on account of the small attendance. A large number of bids have been received and will be opened at the meetins this afternoon, and although it cannot be definitely stated so, it is expected that the contract will be awarded at this time.
 The present quarters of the Club are not large enough for the uses to which the new home will be put and the matter of erecting a new building on new grounds was taken up some time ago. Architect Mitchell Selllg- man drew the plans and specifications for the new home and it is expected to be one of the most beautiful build ings of it's kind in this country It will be marked by it's plainness and the simplicity of it's design and for this reason it will be exceedingly at tractive.
