down here to drive her to Gleason

was the matter with the helter'
that she seemed distressed and
continually mooed. Jeter told him
he did not know anything was the
matter with the COW, but would
adjust the matter to Parks entire
satisfaction after making an in
vestigation. Next morning la
went out to the pasture to see II

Proper Drainage and Systematic Main'

All through the central states there
seems to be at present an unexpected
interest in earth roads, and there is a
widespread desire to have an authori-
tative opinion on the field for which
such roads are adapted. 1t is a sub
ject on which many experienced road
engineers are not willing to make any
statements for fear Of being misunder-
stood or misquoted, but the road en-
gineer of the Illinois state highway de-
partment has recently made some COM

repeated question as follows: THE

maintenance be kept up throughout
the entire year to the usual standard

LACK INTEREST IN BREEDING
Man Who Is Responsible for Greatest
Sport in World Falling Into
Decay in America.

1.-THE man who goes out to the race
track, bets on a horse and shows no
interest in the breeding, even if his
fayorite WINS is of no use to- the
sport, of no assistance to the breed
ing industry and does not love a
horse"
That, in a nutshell, expresses the
views of Robert S. Sievier, the ia
nous English horseman, now visiting
America for the purpose of acquaint-
ing himself with the methods of Amer
lean stud farms and the future of rae
ing as sport.
Moreover" explained Mr.. Sievier,
''the kind of man l mention is the one
who is responsible for the greatest
sport in the world falling into decay
in America A person who is not in
terested in the breeding of horses has
no real interest at race meet. He
is merely a gambler.
BY that l do not mean to say that
men ought not to bet on horse races.
Men always have bet on their favor
lite horses and always will. Without
this element the sport would lose
much of it's zest, but betting should
not be paramount. Interest in breed
ing is what denotes true lover of
the horse"

bat Nelson isn't the same old dur
able Dane he used to be; there's no
denying that. Twenty years of wear
and tear of the sort the Hegewisch
landowner has been going through
would batter down the most stanch of
constitutions But the Battler isn't
what you'd call dilapidated even with
those years of punishment. He's still
able to fail those Danish arms, and

BILE.
The career of Oscar Matthew Nell
son is one of the most picturesque in
ring history. The old boy has been
fighting since 1895. He made his real
debut in Kansas City against Clarence
English. Jim Blake saw it and he'll
tell you that English punished the
novice to fragile. But Nelson had
the heart. He didn't care how fast
Clarence's blows came. He took 'em
all and was there at the finish. And

| with that heart as his entire stock he
set out to make a record.
That heart carried Bat Nelson to a.
championship, and it held that title
for him until along came AID Wolgast.
Bat won't admit even now that the
Michigan Dutchman gave him beat-i
ing in 1910, but Referee Ed Smith.
thought so and stopped the fighting,
giving Wolgast a technical knockout
and the championship. But the Danes
fight career did not stop with that
defeat. His heart was still with him.
He has kept right on fighting with
one object in view He wants that
title back-not for what it's worth in
gold, but to redeem himself.
Bat says he doesn't care about the
financial end of the game any more.
That's bosh, of course. He does like
that old per cent But talk with him
will convince you that money isn't all
he's after He is in earnest about re-
gaining the championship.

We rested. DOING but neither sound
asleep, for nearly three hours. What
ever might be in Taylor's mind, the
lonely night had brought to me a new
thought relative to my companion.
The fellow was evasive, and once he
had frankly lied in seeking to explain
his presence in the valley, and the rea-
son for his secrecy Of movement. By
now we were decidedly at cross-pur-
poses, each vigilantly watching the

MESSAGE on a Mans Scalp.

We hear much about secret writing
but have not yet heard of anything to
beat the simple cunning of one His
tiaeus. Greek, at the Persian court in
the fifth century, B. c., who wanted to
send a private message to friend at
Miletus. He took a slave with bad
eyes. and, under pretense Of curing
him shaved his head.
The message was then written on
his scalp. unknown even to him, the
hair allowed to grow again. and the
slave sent off to Miletus with a letter
which all could read, saying how well
he had been cured. And the friend.
with whom the plan had been ar
ranged, only needed shaving materials
to uncover the secret message.-Lon-
