FARMINGToN, MO, FEBRUARY 20, 1913

The government has had new
nickel designed and it was to have
been put into circulation on the
18th inst, but was withheld be-
cause of the protests of the slot
machine interests. The latter have
perfected an invention IN slot ma
chimes that rejects counterfeits and
which accommodates itself only to
the present design of nickel 1t
will not work with the new nickel
design any more than it vii! with
counterfeit, and would render
the slot machine improvement a
waste Of inventive genius. The
government ought to consult the
slot machine interests before chang
ing the design of any of its coin.

Nodaway's Deer Park.

One OF the prettiest sights In Nod
away county, Missouri, says the
Skidrnore New Era, is the Richard
Kyle deer park, three-fourths Of II
mile southeast OF Graham. This
park contains twenty acres, en-.
closed by high woven-wire fence
The herd which Mr.. Kyle has had
on his place for many years con-
tains from twenty-five to forty deer,
some Of which go out and in the
park at will. 1t is almost impos-
sible TO make a fence so high that
the deer cannot get over ii and con-
sequently in the summer time they
are scattered all over the southwest
part Of the county and some Of them
are seen every day by neighbors of
Mir. Kyle, who take as much pride
in them as he does himself. But we
are sorry Ia say that some parties,
not his neighbors, have secretly
tried to Kill them and no doubt have
killed many Of them and wounded
others AS som" Of them have come
home crippled with gun shot wounds.
In the winter, when food is scarce,
most of them which have wandered
away from home, browsing around,
find their way back to the park,
where they are fed and cared
for, but when the spring tire again
arrives, their wild nature seeks the
still haunts OF the forest and the
secluded hooks OF the streams, and
they again disappear, but in their
travels back and forth men waylay
them and kill them either for sport
OF killing, or for gain. Mr.. Kyle
does not raise these deer for money,
for they are not for sale, but he has
gone to the trouble to make the park
and stock 1t, because he enjoys see
ing and having around him the little
shy, meek and innocent creatures,
which nave almost become extinct.

ANOTHER RECORD

NEW YORK, April 12.-James Ed
ward Meredith, of the University OF
Pennsylvania. established a new
American indoor record In winning
the Loughlin derby a 600-yard race
at the Loughlin Lyceum games in
the Thirteenth Regiment armorv
Brooklyn, last night. The Penn
flyer" outclassed his field and breast
ed the tape ten yards ahead of
Homer Baker. of the New York An
leuc Club. Dave Caldwell, of the
Boston A. A., was third, three yards
behind Baker.
Meredith Travelled the distance in
the record time of one minute thir-
teen and four-fifths seconds. elm
ping one-fifth of second off the
old record, held by Abel Kiviat. of
the Irish American A. c., and Harry
Gissing.
Only four starters toed the mark.
They were Meredith, Baker. cald-
well and Martin J. Hayes, of Princes
ton University.
Meredith had the inside, with Baker
at his side. At the crack of the gun
the quartet started out with a great
burst of speed. They slowed up as
they rounded the curve with the
Olympic champion in front Mere
dith carried the trio along at a fast
clip. Several times Baker tried to
sprint to the front, but the Penn
flyer" met his challenge each time
with a sprint.
When the bell rang for the last lap
Meredith was still in command, with
Baker right on his heels Caldwell
and Hayes were only a few inches
in the rear. As the bell rang, Mere
dith shot out, and for fifty yards he
fairly flew over the boarded floor.
He opened gap of ten yards, but
half lap from home he slowed up,
and Baker was soon at his side, but
he did not stay there long.
AS the pair reached the stretch
Meredith started his final sprint. He
utilized every ounce of speed he pos
| sessed. Gradually he drew away
from the N. Y. A. c. runner, and
at the finish he was ten yards ahead
of Baker. When 1t was announced
that Meredith had made a new in
| door record the crowd gave the
Pennsylvania a great ovation.

weather has not affected their form,
and all they ask for is a clear day
tomorrow. Eddie Root and Fred Hill,
who have been entertaining at the
various capitols of Europe in round
of sixday races, are here and expect
to exhibit their speed tomorrow. Hill
has entered the Stanley handicap, a
race that he won two years ago, and
he expects to repeat that perform
ance. Root has not entered the races
but he will probably be post entry
tomorrow. Both Hill and Root are
in shape and are looking for action.
There is enough pent-up speed in
Jackie Clarke, ALT Goullet, Joe Fog
Ter, ALT Grenda, Paddy Hehir, Gordon
Walker, Frank Cavanagh, Root and
Hill to move the Olympic at top
speed, and If they don't get rid of
some of this energy tomorrow there
is imminent danger of an epidemic
of nervous prostration. Holding gilt
edge form without some competition
is indeed trying to high-strung ath-
letes.
The program tomorrow remains the
same as the original card scheduled
for two weeks ago. Many additional
entries have been received for both
the amateur and the pro" races, and
the field is the classiest that was
ever brought together here. Fred
Hill and Ernie Pye have swelled the
field in. the two-mile tandem handi-
cap with their entry, and Root may
double up with some one. Root Is a
great tandem rider, and he will have
no trouble in finding a mate. Two
years ago Fogler and Root were un-
beatable in tandem races. The ia
vorIte team in the tandem event is
Percy Lawrence and Elmer Collins,
the pinweight champions.

RICHMOND, Va, April Icy
Barger has been picked by Manager
Harry Smith to throw the harpoon
into the Colts today and if the Ben
gal hurler is in form the Tigers can
expect to clean up on the final
southern trip before the opening of
the International League baseball
season. The Virginia League teams
have been kicked around so much
by International League clubs that
in order to shorten the game a half
an inning, they go to the bat first,
apparently expecting to lose at the
outset
The Tigers's pitchers have been
toying with southern team batsmen.
1t does not take long for the Bengals
to get started. They watch the
weak points of the home team for a
few innings and then the music
starts. Eddie Zimmerman's home
run clout yesterday practically put
Strain, Richmonds clever pitcher, to
the tall timbers. In the very next
inning the jungle band Eel, on him
for four runs.
After the game today the Smithies
will pack their belongings and hike
for home on the earliest train going
northward. The Tigers have gained
only in experience on this trip. Rich

a member of the international
League, but if the attendance at the
