NATIONAL TROTTls.eo BODY
MAKES RULES LIKE AM N.

New York, Feb. 11.-Nearly 400
members representing all the district
boards Of the National Trotting Asso-
citation were present today in person
or by proxy at the congress which
adopted racing rules to conform with
those of the American Trotting Asso-
citation.
One amendment to the bylaws
adopted read:
when a series of races are given
for one entrance fee and portion of
the purse given for each heat or race,
the winner of each heat Hr race shall
acquire record or bar which shall be
considered in determining eligibility to
compete in public races.
1t was provided, however, that
time made in preliminary or trial
heats of handicaps does not constitute
a record or bar unless portion of the
premium is awarded winners of the
same.
A ruling bearing on eligibility was
adopted providing that in determining
the right of horses to compete in public
races only the records made by the win
ners of races shall be considered. 1t was
decided that a horse with a record shall
be allowed one second for each year, if
raced, in which he fails to equal or re-
duce his record or win a race, If claim Is

Alfonso Arrested.

There is nothing new in the game.
1t has been played in much the same
way, many times, through many CEN
turtles. Now comes Alfonso XIII OF
Spain, who, it must be said, has done
it quite cleverly. Some days ago he
was returning in his automobile from
Granada to Madrid. He had to attend
a meeting of his council and was going
at furious gait. Suddenly two
mounted alguazils appeared and COM
manded him to stop. I am the king,
said the sovereign. THAT may be"
said the alguazils, but we don't know
anything about that. You will ex-
plain at the post" At the post the
commandant recognized the sovereign.
presented his, excuses and roundly
abused the two police officers. The
automobile Of Alfonso XIII resumed its
Journey. Two days later the COM
mandant received a royal message. The
two alguazils were promoted to the
grade of sergeant, and to each was
sent a box of Havana cigars Of the
same brand as those smoked by the
king himself-all of which is duly not
ed in the Spanish journals.-m-

BLUE GRASS STORIES.
Kentucky Novels Have Same Hill
Country Heroine and Same sad,
Sentimental Theme.

The Kentucky novel is enjoying re-
erudescenee. 1t blooms again In all It's
pristine loveliness of light and shade
and dialect And it follows the same
old piney trail with pleasing fidelity.
A man comes up from the valley
any valley will do-and the rugged
mountaineers give him scant welcome.
Some think him a revenue spy, some
regard him as a prospector, some are
too dull to form an opinion. But they
talk him over on the sagging porcn
of the slab sided crossroads store.
In the meantime the man meets
Sammy, or whatever her Chilhowee
name may be, wild fawn of the
woods with large. innocent eyes-inno-
cent eyes are always large-and falls
in love with her. She teaches school
now and then and feeds the stock
regtilarly--two scraggy horses and
sidehill COW and three sprinting pigs.
BE you-uns spyin' on dad?" she
asks in her frank and artless fashion.
eCause eff you-uns air rev'noo, you
uns bettah mosey right smart"
Would you care If I went away?'
he asks with the low pedal on.
A deep flush stains her face and neck
and nose and ears, and even reaches to
her bare feet. Then she turns and
runs away with the wild abandon of a
young gazellian. Right after this the
man from the valley is shot somewhere
in the neighborhood of the smoke
heuse-which isn't necessarily fatal
and the girl finds him and drags him
to the spring house, where she nurses
him back to health. Then he forgets
his caution and asks here to marry
him.
Would you-uns marry tn daughter
of sinner"
Il wouldst."
She hesitates in order to undergo a
frightful internal struggle Finally
she turns to him in a stuffy voice.
"Ah couldn't mahrry you-uns no
ways-cause | amt got no shoes that's
fitten."
So the man goes back to the valley,
and to common sense and forgetful-
ness.-W. R. Rose In Cleveland Plain

ALL WELL WITH
ARCTIC EXPLORER
v. STEFANSSON.

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 11.-A letter from
V. Stefansson, the explorer, who was
sent TO the Arctic from Victoria last
summer by the Canadian government,
and whose ship, the Karluk, drifted
away while he and some companions
were hunting and exploring last Sep
tember reached the minister of naval
service Tuesday. The letter came out
OF the North by the same courier who
brought the telegram from Stefans-
son Get. 26, announcing his rlishap.
II came via Nome, Alaska.
The text of the letter was not avail
able Tuesday night, but in it he says
that he thinks the Karluk is probably
in no great danger. If the Karluk was
forced out into the Arctic ocean with
the drifting ice it should be able to
survive the winter, but if it has been
caught in ice near shore it might be
crushed, though even in that case,
he says, the crew could make their
way tn Point Barrow or some other
outpost of civilization where supplies
for tho winter would be available.
Mr.. Stefansson adds that since he lost
communication with the ship he has been
able TO get all the equipment at Point
Barrow necessary to last him until he
can Join the southern branch of the ex-
pedition, now in winter quarters at Col
linson Point, which he thinks he could
make in a few days.
The government officials here say that
the whole party is probably now safely
at Colinson Point conducting scientific
Investigations in that district, which has
never before been explored. No further
word from Stefansson is expected before
the Royal Northwestern Mounted Police
patrol reaches Herschell Island next
month Meanwhile the government is
satisfied that Stefansson and the men he
left behind on the Karluk are safe with
Captain Robert Bartlett in charge.

Senate Passes Bill to
Serve Original Pur=
pose of the 18th
Amendment.
Law Effective Only in States
Without Adequate Laws.

Washington. Feb. 11.-Without
roll call, the Senate late today passed
bill to provide a temporary method
for the. nomination and election OF
senators in states that have not leg
islated to carry out the 18th Const1-
tutional amendment for the direct cleo
ton of senators.
An amendment to make the measure
apply only to elections was defeated
81 to 10.
The law would be effective only un-
til the various states provide their
own machinery for nominating ana
electing senators. Where no such
methods are provided the bill would
make the state laws for nominating
and eleeting state officers applicable
to senators. The only fight against
the measure came from southern SEN
ators, who contended that the federal
government had no constitutional right
to intrude into such local matters as
the nomination of candidates.
Senator Fall of New Mexico was the
only Republican to vote in favor OF
limiting the bill to elections.

keep 100000 persons in health today
than it did so years ago? l put that
question to two very eminent Phlia :
delphia physicians-or rather one
physician and one surgeon.
They both answered yes. but they
both qualified their answers by insist
ing that the 100000 persons are kept
in much better health than half CEN
tury ago, and also that they live, on
the average, considerably longer.
Said the physician: "The average
age of adults is now greater than IT

long life. In proportion to population,
We have more old people. although it
often happens that medical science

It's Healthy to Yawn.

Yawning is said to have an exceed
ingly healthful function besides hav-
ing a salutary effect in complaints OF
the pharynx and the eustachian tubes.
According to investigations, yawning
is the most natural form of respira-
tory exercise, bringing into action all
the respiratory muscles Of the neck
and chest.
1t is recommended that every person
should have a good yawn with the
stretching of the limbs morning ana
evening for the purpose of ventilating
the lungs and tonifying the respiratory
muscles. An eminent authority as
serts that this form of gymnastics has
a remarkable effect In relieving throat
and ear troubles. and says that pa
tients suffering from disorders of the
throat have derived great benefit from
it, He says he makes his patients
yawn, by suggestion or imitation. or by
series of deep breaths with the lips
partly closed. The yawning Is re-
peated six or seven times and should
be followed by swallowing. BY this
process the air and mucus in the
eustaehian tubes are aspirated.-New
