NEW YORK, Feb 2S.--Just how
far they can go without police inter-
ference is worrying the boolmakers,
who already are laying their plans
carefully for a Bit of undor-cover

season starts. on May 20. Las, year
there were a few raids. and this year.
according TO word which has gone in
the shape Of tip to the racing fra
ternity. strictness will be the rule.
The arrest over in Maryland a
few weeks ago OF a hundred Washing
ton betting fans. among them Con-
gressman or two. has made the pony
followers here bit chary. There
has been a bit Of betting on the @.
Il. throughout the winter, but the
old pool room days arc far in the
discard-at least the police say so.
The stewards Of the Jockey Club,

{ for the start OF the racing season
heroabouts u is by no means cer-
tain that the Wostchoster Racing AS

there Is talk OF reverting to the Aque-
duct track. Jamaica, which had 10
/ split its dates last year. may be in
line again. Maryland tracks will open
in April and one thing Is assured
I that when once the sport begins there
will be racing every day in the vicin-
I ity of New York until the exodus for

when they go TO Juarez to see Jack

For Steadfast Peace.

God puts within our reach the pow
er of heipfulness, the ministry of pity;
he is tveI ready to increase his grace
In our hearts. that as we live and act
among all the sorrows of the world
we may learn by slow degrees skill
and mystery of consolation. IF ye
know these things, happy are ye II ye
do them" There is no surer way OF
s,eadfast peace in this world than the
active exercise of pity; no happier
temper of mind and work than the
lowly watching to see II we can lessen
any misery that is about us; nor is
there any better way of growth In
faith and loye.-Francis Paget.

SHOW SUPREMACY OF SOUL
Bright Spots in Dark Incidents Of
the Great Conflict Going on
In Europe.

Courage is the universal possession
of the German, the Englishman, the
Frenchman, the Belgian, the Austrian,
the Russian and the Japanese. The
stories of individual GOODNESS and dar-
ing are SO many that they have al
most ceased to attract special atten-
ton. The other day, when the Brit
ish dreadnaught Formidable went
down In I. storm, crushed like an egg
shell by torpedoes or mines, its cap
tain-Loxley-was OH the bridge as II
sank; and his last words were:
STEADY men; it's all right; keep cool |:
do not get in panic: be British.
Every officer was at his post; many
Of them had lighted cigarettes. This
stirring exhibition of the fact that
the man does not die when his body
falls IN the trenches or sinks in the
ocean can be matched in every navy
and army. All Europe is fighting for
invisible things, There never was
such universal and commanding evi.
dence that the soul of humanity Is su.
