WILES OF TEMPTER
Develop the Soul, But Path of
DaIIiance Is Never Road to
Spiritual Triumph.

Temptations are the rounds in the
ladder upon which the soul rises.
There are always rounds enough to
develop the will and TO temper the
soul from above. There is no need OF
dallying with the temptation of the
brute o. seeking the seductions OF
the lower life in order to temper the
soul. The path OF dalliance is never
the road to spiritual triumph Theo-
dore Parker was wont 10 divide the
temptations of life into two classes, the
lust OF the appetites and the lust OF
power; the former the temptations
that beset youth. the latter the more
sordid and subtle temptations OF age
The story OF the temptations OF
Jesus may well be taken as a parable
OF the temptations of all men. First,
The greed OF bread, the lust OF money.
the turning OF everything to gold.
Next. the greed OF power the politician

New York. July 2S.-Although the plans
Of the Federal League magnates regard

an effort made to hold the attention OF
the baseball fans during the playing Of

seasons on October Z. and the Federals
on October 10. According to the tentative
plans Of the new organisation, the pen
nant-winning club will issue an open
challenge to the leaders OF the two major
organizations and. II ignored, will instI-
tute a series of their own.
1t is proposed to select an all-star team
from the seven clubs finishing after the
pennant winner. This combination win
play series Of seven or nine games
against the league leaders. the contests
to be held In various cities composing
the Federal circuit. The gate receipts

posing the two teams upon basis OF 60
per cent to the winners and 40 per cent
to the losers. There is also talk OF the
magnates adding either sum Of money

COPPER THITE THE OWNER
OF MANY FAST RACER S

At the age of nineteen he was a private
In the famous New York Seventy-ninth
Regiment Of HighIanders. Later on we
find him learning how to make and bake
pies for a Hartford. Conn, firm. On
Thanksgiving Day. 1885, he landed in
Washington with q few dollars in his
pockets, his only other personal property
being horse and wagon. Forty-eight
hours later he was making pies and ped
ding them about the streets Of George
town His original investment was $50
his receipts for the day Sis. and he has
kept the Identical money in his posses
sion ever since as a souvenir OF his first
success In business.
1t was In this way that the first whole
sale pie making concern in the District
was started. They were called Connecti-
cut pies. They were pies such as mother
made: honest pies with plenty Of filling.
and baked to the queens taste. Children
cried for them, old maids sighed for them
and the DR.. Wiley's of those days and
the tum-tum folk OF d. C. ate them and
called them the best pies ever. II was
about this period that Mr.. Copperthite
became acquainted with a real capitalist
He possessed 8. go and he became a part

Business grew rapidly. II soon took
Twelve two-horse wagons to deliver the
goods, where two or three had been suf-

were supplied. No retail trade had ever
been solicited. Five years the partnership

proprietor and ran the business in his
own name for thirteen years, when he

settled on his beautiful plantation near

built the fastest and best constructed
half mile racing plant in the Old DomIn-

events which drew record-breaking
crowds
Recently Mr.. CopperthIte became
weary OF farming and resolved to

Old Caper Sauce Is
His Own Best Trainer

Caper Sauce has come back to Windsor,
says the Detroit News
The Oldest horse on the turf is still as
frfsky as a two-year-old. and much more
even-tempered. His owner and trainer.
Sol Mintz. wanted to pension the old
thoroughbred this year. but Caper Sauce
is again at the races, and earning his
feed, too.
For nine years Caper Sauce has been
winning races in Canada. When one
bears in mind that the majority OF thor
oughbreds are retired from the turf be-
fore they are seven years old. the record
of the Mintz campafgner is remarkable.
Caper Sauce, a son of Morpheus and New
Dance. Is eleven years old. and for eight
straight years won the Whitby purse at
the Woodbine in Toronto. Such a record,
turfmen agree, has not been borne by any
other performer in their memory.
Caper Sauce started in the first race
at Windsor a few days ago. and though
his company was trifie fast for him he
pulled up without q sign Of soreness and
never took a long breath as he was be-
ing cooled out.
'Old Caper Sauce knows me as well as
II he were human instead of q horse"
said Owner Mintz, after the race. He
never asks for water or exercise. When
he wants drink he leaves his stall and
helps himself from a bucket We keep
handy for him. When he needs exercise
he walks around the shed until he has
had enough, then he goes back into his
stall We never lock the door where
Caper Sauce Is. He is so accustomed to
the routine of horse life on a. racetrack
that he knows what he has to do without
being led or told"
In the winter Caper Sauce has a pretty
soft time. He has a paddock Of his own
to frisk about In and nice warm box
stall when the snow is on the ground out
