Valuable Beetle Now.

Not long ago a Washington scient-
list, an enthusiastic student of natural
history, captured fine specimen of
beetle. On reaching home he, in q
moment of haste, pinned the beetle
to a library table with his diamond
scarfpin.
When he returned to the library
from his dinner, he found the captive
had got loose and was flying about
with the diamond pin glistening from
his back.
Man and bug made rush for the
window at the same instant, says
Harper's Weekly. The beetle got
there first and triumphantly sailed
away. barely eluding the scientists
hand. Neither bug nor pin has since
been seen.

ERA OF hYsTERlA.

Mr.. Justice Holmes, of the Supreme
court. tells us that the widespread
charges of corruption extend to that
tribunal OF course they do But
there is comfort in the fact. 1t testl-
fies to the condition upon which the
country has fallen, says the Washing
ton Star. 1t helps to break the force
of the charges brought against other
tribunals, and against eminent indi-
viduals. The era is one of hysteria.
Not small portion of our population
is raving. 1t attacks with verbal fury
everything and everybody. What
ever is wrong Whoever, In Office
or out, is unfolding it is not only
wrong, but knowingly and corruptly
so. The lawyer? He is a chartered
scoundrel, in action before judges no
better than himself. Neither truth
nor fair dealing is in him. The ply
sician? A maneuverer for rich pa
tients and merciless in his charges.
No prosperous member of the profess
sion would turn out of his gold-lined
way to heal a pauper. The minister?
A pious hypocrite, with his thoughts
rot on paradise, but on pelf. He has
learned the trick of serving both God
and mammon, and gives the Creator
the short end of the transactions. The
journalist? Yellow as pumpkin.
Will advocate any cause and spread
full details of the most abhorrent mat
ter to increase the circulation of his
newspaper The merchant? He gives
short weight, prefers to sell adulterat-
ed stuffs, and amasses a fortune by
many kinds Of disreputable means.
He is willing TO make corner on
Easter lilies. The wage-earner? Will
ing at any time to turn firebug or
murderer to force more pay from his
employer Would halt the industries
of the whole country if he could in
order to win a local strike. The ex-
cess of the charges shows their alb
surdity. A people SO far gone could
not redeem themselves. Destruction
would be not only their just due, but
a necessity There would be no foun-
dalton upon which to rear reform.

There is one loss sustained by
druggists that few people know about"
said the experienced clerk. THAT is
in the prescriptions that have to be
made over, the same as clerks, stenog-
raphers, writer's, and artists, no mat
ter how painstaking, occasionally have
to do their work over. The most care
full clerk in existence is bound to
make mistakes sometimes in measur-
Ing and mixing. HE may pour in too
much of some kind of liquid or sift
in too much of certain powder. In
most cases the overdose would not
really affeGt the value of the medicine,
but the conscientious clerk is not go
ing to take chances on numbering any
body, so he throws away the whole
mixture and makes up another pre-
scription."

In the United States alone some bill
lion matches day are burned, in spite
of all the electricity in use and in adj
dition to all the gas and cigar light
ers. These matches burned in day
amount to over two carloads of the
best timber and weigh $4,000 pounds.
Some twenty-five tall trees have to be
cut to produce this huge pile. If only
"a hours consumption could be placed
end to end they would extend about
10000 miles, more than the distance
around the world. Many of our match
es are imported from Sweden and
Norway and even Austria. Most OF
them are safety" matches.

Not So Polite as 1t Looked.

Crowds were on the street car when
when the tall woman struggled up
the aisle and grasped a strap. Twelve
men were seated on each side, but
not one arose and offered her his
seat. At last a small boy touched
her on the arm.
"You can have my seat, lady, '
called the youngster.
Thank you," said the tall woman
seating herself in the vacant space;
that was very polite of you"
NO." replied the boy, "it wasn't
politeness; there's chewing gum all

A town in Connecticut has found it
necessary to forbid any spooning on
stone walls, fences, church or house
steps, or curbs and cutters within the
town limits. Cupid must have started

perate opportunities as stone walls of

.SULzER CAN PUT
END TO RACING
Even Though Betting Laws
Are Knocked Out, Cover
nor Can Take a Hand.

Albany. N. Y, March 1.-Without
the change or addition Of as much as
a comma in the existing laws, Cover
nor Sulzer has it in his power to alb
solutely prevent the holding Of any
running races in this state, no matter
II the courts should hold every law in
this state. no matter If the courts
should hold every law in statute books
against betting unconstitutional.
What Is more to the point there il
some evidence that he intends to X
ercise this power within a short time.
1t is known that the religious and re-
form societies who are alarmed over
the latest court decision on oral bet
ting. are urging him to take this
course
The governors power to end racing
for five years at least, lies in his OPP
p%ortunfty to appoint a new state rac-
ing commission. The members of the
present commission are now serving
at the pleasure Of the governor, who
may name their successors at any time.
The governor has indicated that he in
tends to do this very shortly.
Section 2S6 Of the consolidated laws
requires any corporation desiring to
hold running or jumping races. under
the general permission given by Sec
ton 2S2. to first obtain a license from
the state racing commission, which
holds good for one year only. The
license, says the Law, must contain a
clause that the corporation must abide
by all the reasonable rules of the
jockey club. but permits the racing
commission to modify such rules. This
being tho law, 1t is clear that should
the governor appoint three men like
Canon Chase. for instance, as racing
commissioners. and the name of Canon
Chase has been mentioned as one of
those the governor is thinking of ap>
pointing. there would not be any IL
n giving during the five years
that the commissioners served.

erwise it is mot in the picture in

IT is to be regretted that no other
point could have been substituted for
Detroit-one that lay in the true
Great Western territory and would
have been a source Of strength and
not Of weakness to the organization
as a whole.
As will be seen, the circuit would
be almost nowhere and nothing

as it numbers no less than eight on
its roster, as follows: That Of Iowa
at Des Moines. that. Of Minnesota at
Haml!ne, thai of Michigan at Detroit,
that of Missouri at Sedalia, that OF
Illinois at Springfield, that Of Texas
at Dallas and that of Arizona at
Phoenix. All these are as solid as
the rock Of Gibraltar" as far as their
"sinews Of war" r concerned, for
they are in most cases subsidized by
their respective states. beside being
heavily patronized by those classes
OF people most vitality interested in
the light harness horse.
The spot of the circuit, which, most
regrettably, is not susceptible of
change. is that formed by the two
weeks occupied by Springfield, ILL.,,
and Sedalia. Mo. BY every law this
former should precede the latter in
stead of the order being vice versa.
In that a Springfield would escape
her apparently inevitable conflict with
the first week at Lexington, KY,
while geographically the route would
be much slmplifed. as 1t would then
lead naturally from Sedalia to Dallas
instead of swinging back from Mis-
souri, to Illinois and then DETECTING
to Texas.
However, like all other earthly
things, there is no such affair possible
as a perfect circuit. And, under the
circumstances, the Great Western for
1913 can hardly help being a splen-
didly successful one.

old QUESTION IS
ASKED ONCE MORE
Which is Better Leader, the
Active Player of the
Bench Manager?

Recent articles written by Charles
w. Murphy, comparing sundry bench
and playing managers, have reused up
once more that old and tnterminable
discussion: (Which is the better lead
er-the active PLAYER or the man who
roosts upon the bench?" All around
the big league circuits the wise men
and the bugs are pouring forth their
opinions, and the two camps are as
ed down to a small compass. here's
the whole thing: The playing manag-
er will be successful when he can ac-
tually help his team with his personal
doings. and when he doesn't let man
agerial worry spoil his play. The
bench manager will be successful
when he knows the game and can
flash quick, valuable thoughts to the
players in time to make them go
through. What. then. is the differ
ence? A great player may make a
poor manager. A poor player, on the
bench, may make a great manager.
are both physical and mental. A bench
manager who can't think up his plays
fast enough to send them down the
line of active work won't do. A play
ing manager who falls off in his work
and thereby lowers the grade Of his
team will be equally useless. No two
men are exactly alike-the same cir
cumstances will hardly help or hurt
two men in equal degrees. This fact,
however, must be taken into consid-
