Some Famous Race Horses Have
 Come From LOWly Origin, Like
 Great Men, and Have Shown for a Time Then Left the Turf.
Some Examples of Real Interest in the Last Twenty Years of Fast Horses Whose Lights Were Covered by a BuSheI.

Many great horses like great men, first saw the light of day amid the most humble surroundings and their early years were fraught with hardship and misfortune. The obstacles event ually were overcome through the pow CT of greatness and their star shone in the ascendency when the winning of large stakes and purse brought them into the public eye. Many raised amid the most luxurious surrounds and wor. shiped as idols when at the height if a winning career and their days as have many brilliant but unfortunate men, .unwept, unhonored and unsung.
 The life stories of many famous race horses read like fiction. An example of these was Robert J., known in his turf days as Sweet Little Robert I" No truer gamer more constant race horse ever faced a starter Bred and raised in a small mining town of Penn sylvania, he began his racing career lin a very inauspicious manner being distanced in his first start
 The following season he startled the turf world by pacing a mile in 2.O1h lat Terre Haute Ind, after a series of heartbreaking races against the iron horse Joe Patchen and Che first John .B Gentry, in which he was usually re- turned the winner and was always a strong contender.
 He changed owners frequently in after years and finally came into the hands of a rug peddler who used him in his daily rounds. The little horse was rescued from such menial service by a kind hearted lover of horses, who had admired him for his speed and gameness in his racing days. He was pensioned on a blue grass farm to live out the remaining days of strenuous career.
 The story of Klamath, 2:97la is full of interest In the spring of 1896 a strange party arrived at Des Moines, la., from far over the Rockies. Their objective point was the grand circut and their home address Klamath Falls. Ore
 The party consisted of one horse and traps. the owner and driver T. w. Ray mond his invalid wife, a mascot in the shape of a wiry little dog and a caretaker for the horse. A small tent served as sleeping quarters for man and wife and was always pitched in close proximity to the horses stall. Klamath was known by the stable name of COokey, and to hear Tom Ray lmond calling out to the horse" Eat 'em Iup, Cookey' in a hot flush was enough to stir the blood of the most hardened racegoer.
 The horse was responsive to his
 every work and Cookey won more than his share of races. But an evil eye seemed to hang over this little out Int The devoted wife succumbed to
 the dread disease which had taken hold on her The mascot was killed under the wheels of a train. Raymond never became recOnciled to the death
 of his wife and passed away about one year later, leaving his few worldly

 Since the Spanish war, in 1899. only one National league club has done worse year in and year out than Che Reds. This outfit is the St I.ouis crew of Cardinals, whose high spot was fourth place. reached in 1901 Since then the Cardinals best YVES fifth place, attained in 1904 and again in 1911.

 The Reds have been acting recent ly as if they considered themselves a real baseball team. They have been going along on high gear-high for them-ever since May 6. when they just got through being whaled by the Pirates. Their winning streak has not been one of those continued strings of unbroken success. It has been rather like the usual clip of a pennant contender-not calling the Reds any pennant contender, though with a victory or two and then a de- feat Outside of their poor start in the first three weeks, they have paced along just a little under a 666 rate, doing about the same grade of work each week Consistent pitching, good enough to give the bat ters chance to win each day, has been backed by better than average fielding. and the attack of the club both with the maulstick and by OCOntinuad on Pape 0)

English Writer Thinks
United States Can Make
Great War End Quickly

London, Eng. Sept. S.-Americans
here are reading with interest an ap-
peal by II. G. Wells, the novelist, to
the American people He says the in
fluence of the American nation on the
nature and duration Of the war must
be very great: indeed, upon the United
States largely rests the issue Of the
conflict
For it rests with you to establish
and secure, or to refuse TO establish
and secure. permanent peace OF the
world on the final ending Of the war
he says
He emphasizes the ties which should
bind the United States with all Europe
and then shows why he thinks Ger
many must bear the responsibility Of
the Armageddon. He says for 40 years
she has led the way in the mad race
for ornaments. She has compelled
England to increase her fleet constant
" and France has been forced to streln
every nerve
Two things induced Mr. Wells TO make
his appeal to America-the position OF
neutral Holland and the proposed
American purchase Of German ships
He shows that the United states could
pour food supplies by way Of Holland
right into the Germans hands. This
would enormously lengthen the war.
Wells therefore urges the United States
not to buy the German ships. and send
them to Holland with food which viii
surely fall into Germany's hands

Official Press Bureau
Found To Be Unreliable
By London Newspapers

London. Eng, Sept. S.-British and
foreign newspaper men as well are
poking much fun at the official Press

The Press bureau was founded at the

the war office and the public and

Press bureau gave rise to the pre-
Gminary skirmish with the newspaper
correspondents It is stated in a par
agraph on operations in Belgium that
Germans We're entrenched along the
line of the river Aisne The river
Aisne was not mentioned in maps and
aliases Of Belgium, the correspondents
found, but there is a river A1sne IN
the French Ardennes mountains.
So representatives of the newspapers
hurried to the war office and the
Press bureau TO clear up this hay
point
we can give no information outside
the official statement" was the bland
But you see how important it is to
know whether the French river Aisne
or some smaller stream in Belgium IS
meant" said one correspondent
I'VE have nothing to say beyond
what is contained in the official com
muniQue," was all the satisfaction he
got
After a deal of arguing it was ascer-
tanned that the official who had drawn
up this particular statement had gone
home and was not to be disturbed in
his slumbers and that nobody else at
the Press bureau knew anything about
the matter.

TO MAKE COAL MINING SAFE
Simple Test for Fire Damp Said to Be the Best That Has So Far
 Been Put Forward.

One of the simplest of the many suggested tests for fredamp in mines is that described by Henry Briggs to the Scottish Society of Arts. It is m attachment that may be applied 10 any oil or spirit safety lamp, and consists of loop of copper wire sup ported on brass rod passing through the oil vessel. To make a test the loop is moved into the flame. This becomes instantly non-luminous, but if firedamp is present in the air the gas cap is clearly seen. The test can be made in moment at any time without turning down or put ting out the light.
 It is claimed that the percentage of fredamp this method will detect is exceedingly small, and the results of trials on both laboratory and mine go to show that this is one of the most sensitive, accurate and ex- peditious means of revealing the presence of infammable gas in mine or other air.

FEW WAY TO MEASURE LIANT
rennesseean Has System of Weighing Which May Yet Be Brought
 to Perfection.

A Tennesseean has discovered a new way to measure large areas of land. He weighs it-rather, he weighs his map and computes the measurements from the scale rec ords. Louis c. Mathey of Spot. Tenn, writes to Engineering News that he has for thirty-four years been obtaining land areas by the simple process of accurately plotting the survey to scale on good paper, then cutting away the paper outside the boundary with sharp knife and weighing the folded plot of the tract on a chemists or jewellers scale ac- curateiy to one sixty-fourth grain.
 He sends sample map of tract of 16,651 acres, plotted on a scale of 80 rods to the inch on a sheet of 1Sx24-inch paper which weighed 42 s-32 grains. Engineering News comments:
 "While the plan might serve as a rough check on computations, the limit of error in plotting and trim ming, as well as in weighing, would make the scheme only applicable where land is of very low value"

TIE Bu6Asoo or GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

One of the stand d-pat Republican newspapers of St. Louis has ma terialized the ghost of government ownership of railroads, telephones and telegraphs, and is greatly dis turbed. It is not improbable that, some time, the National Govern ment will control all utilities having to do with interstate commerce. It may be in the next generation, possibly in this one.
 For the present, the stand pat ters may dismiss their dread of government ownership. and the reason is-taxes.
 In 1912 the railroads, telegraph and telephone companies paid in taxes something like $1lO,OOO,OOO the figures are taken from statis- tics gathered by the United States Government. With the income tax law in effect. these public service utilities should pay not less than $125, 100000 year in taxes.
 Uncle Sam pays no taxes, and so, under government ownership the individual states would lose not less than million dollars in come. It is unlikely that the ghost will become a reality until some means are devised by which this huge loss t;o the states can be offset.
