ca the race. He started out with the
IDEA that an average speed OF ninety.
seven miles would win and held that
pace with little variation for 400 miles.
when he saw that more speed was
necessary if he hoped to overtake Res

between the two, with Rickenbacher

Speedway, Chicago, Ill.,, June %. -
All competitive speedway automobile
records of the world from fifty miles
to five hundred were shattered in the
running Of the first Chicago FIVE hun.
dred mile derby.
They were not only beaten by Dario
Resta, who won with a French car and
captured more than $4,000 in prize
money, but by the nine other drivers
who finished in the money.
The previous record, made by Ralph
De Palma at Indianapolis recently
was at the rate of 1884 miles an hour.
Resta averaged 97.6 over the same dis.
lance and j. Cooper, who finished
tenth. bettered the De Palma mark.
averaging 903 miles.
The result, according to experts,
establishes the reputation of the new
wooden track as the fastest in the
United States, if not in the world. It
was announced that despite threaten.
ing weather early in the day, eighty
thousand persons witnessed the spec
tacle.

MUCH LIKE THE PRESENT DAY
WaIpole Complained Many Years Ago
That Rulers Abrogated Law
OF Nations.

In letter to Hon. Henry Seymour
Conway, from Strawberry Hill, Of
July 8. 1888, Horace Walpole made o
number OF observations in regard to
the European situation Of that day
which are amazingly. curiously appo-
site to the existing situation
1.-THE invasion OF Portugal by Spain
In the last war. and the partition of
Poland, have abrogated the law Of
nations writes Walpole. Kings have
left no ties between one another.
/. He is good king that pre-
serves his people; and II temporizing
answers that end. is II not justifiable?
"Dr. Joseph (the emperor of Aus
trial and DIR. Frederick Frederick
the Great OF Prussia) with 100000
commentators are reading new lee
tures-and | should say, thank God,
to one another. IL the 100000 COM
mentators were not in worse danger
than they. Louis XIV is grown a
casuist compared with those parti-
TONERS.
We'll, let US simple individuals keep
our honesty, and bless our stars that
we have not armies at our command,
lest we should divide kingdoms that
are at our bienseance! What dread
full thing II is for such wicked lit
tie imp as man to have absolute
power!"

tograph OF the actual building OF a
kufa on the, banks of the Tigris river,
says a writer in the Wide World. They
are made of date palm branches
woven together with rope made out OF
leaves of the same palm. thickly plas-
tered on the outside with bitumen.
They range from four to twelve feet
in diameter. Nowhere but on the
Tigris and lower ,Euphrates rivers can
one see these curious craft, which
serve principally for the transport OF
passengers. country produce and
beasts of burden across the river
About three men are required TO make
a kufa OF respectable size; and II
takes them some twenty days to build
1t, Like the kelek. the kufa is Of
great antiquity. for both these strange
craft we're in use long before the time
of Christ. The evidence OF this is In
disputable. for on the bas-reliefs taken
from the palace OF Sennacherib both
craft are clearly represented.

CHAPTER x.

Early that year. the touch of autumn
came to the air. Often, returning at
SHUTDOWN from the afternoon life class,
Samson felt the lure Of its melancholy
sweetness, and paused on one Of the
Washington Square benches. with
many vague things stirring In his
mind. He felt with a stronger throb
the surety of young, but quickening,
abilities within himself. Partly. 1t was
