WARNED OF OZARK HORSE"
Phrase That Has Become Famous Had
Its Origin In Race Meet in Ten.
nessee Town.

The first use Of the phrase, "a dark
horse" has been traced to turf ora
:le named Judge McN1inamee. A man
named Sam Flynn owned black stall
ion called Dusky Pete. He was not
l "likely boss" in appearance, but he
.ould travel at a rate that put most of
The animals pitted against Linn to
scorn.
1t was Flynn's custom to ride this
lorse into town where q race meet
ng was being held, and enter him in
1 race. Dusky Pete didn't look par
:icularly good, and Flynn could NJ
ways get goodly number of bets
Town ut excellent odds. Seldom did
Pete fail to romp home far ahead of
he local favorites, to the enrichment
If his owner.
One day Judge McMinamee was an.
pointed judge at q race meet, and
among the entries he observed Dusky
Pete. Gentlemen" he said, there's a
lark horse in this race that will make
Ve SICK" After that it became a
saying to "Look out for the dark
lOrse."

HOST HAD REASONED WELL
Couldn't Afford to Sacrifice Reputation
for veraeity by Backing Up His
Guests "TaIi" Story.

A well-known diplomat told at q
dinner in Washington q significant par
able.
"They who expect the men in au.
thority to do great deal for them
they who expect the impossible-should
remember the grizzly-bear story.
"a famous grizzly-bear hunter gave
dinner, and one of the guests told of
bear hunt that he had once shared
in with his host. It had been a re.
markable hunt. The bear had been
killed under almost incredible difficult
ties. Although his auditors looked
skeptical, the narrator did not spare
them any of those difficulties. He
counted on the host, you see, for cor.
roboratlon.
"Then, when he had finished his
strange but perfectly true tale, he said :
There. that's the story. and, gen.
tlemen, our host will corroborate every
word 1 say
"'No, George he said, 4 don't re-
member anything o; this sort at ALL
"Tableau!
"Maddened by this tableau, the
guest. at the end of the dinner, took
bis host aside and Kissed:
"'Why didn't you back me up in
that bear story? You know every word
Of it was true.'
"'Yes.' said the famous hunter; yes,
It was all true. but I saw that every.
body round the table thought You were
lying. If, then. had supported you,
the only result would have been they
would have set me down for liar,

SUNDAY CLOSING

want TO congratulate the
writer upon the article entitled
"Provide a Place for the People
on Sunday which is a good one
and will say further tina tiff most
of the ministers of the gospel
would attend to their business a q
leave others alone and preach the
gospel or explain the verses in
the Bible that the attendance L..
their church would be better then
what it is.
Now I myself for one don't care
to go to church and hear Il SER
mon preached from the pulpit on
tobacco, liquor and White Slavery
and dancing. If 7 go to church
go their to hear the word of God
and not such trash which is not
religion and if they want to preach
that then let them hire halls cor
that purpose.
And furthermore, | don't blame
the parents of good respect and
intelligence that they don't send
their children to church where
such sermons are preached as one
can go into pool room or
dance hall and not hear words
about tobacco. liquor or White
Slavery preached TO them.
1t there were some place of en-
Joyment On Sunday in the after
noon or something of that kind
IN town then the people i'm the
surrounding communi'v would saw
well lets go to church in the foro
noon and take in the ball game in
the afternoon. or any other e.-
joyment that they may choose,
Now when people work all w,eK
they want some place to go and
pass the Sunday away and have
some kind of enjoyment as that
is nature and the more We helm
nature the better our health will
be and the better we can perform
our labor afterwards.
Now a person that works all
week. whether it is inside work
or outside and like to have some
thing of a change on Sunday I'd
ne wants to 60 some where anC
get his mind off the work am
have some kind of enjoyment OF
pleasure and not he tied down
How can ole expect good wor(
from any one that don't get +;
change of some kind once a week
Some may not care about it. w,
are not all alike and thank Go,
for that.

GERMANS ARE LOYAL

: The following letter was receiv
cd by the local Turner Society.
from the North American Gymn-
astic Union.
TO Societies of the North Amer
lean Gymnastic Misunderstanding:
Our country is confronted with
the most serious crisis since Lin
coins Inauguration as President
Just as the dire consequences of
the secession of seven Southern
States at the time Lincoln took
the oath of office could not be
foreseen. so are we today unable
to predict what the near future
may have in store for our counl-y
Like the people of Europe we may
be drawn against our will into the
vortex of the terrible conflict.
The North American Gymnast-
ic. organized in 1850, for the pur
pose of demonstrating the benefits
of systematic physical training of
the youth, advocates in its plat
form. 'Thc settlement Of all in
ternational disputes by judicial
proceedings and the support of all
ondeavors toward the eliminatio 4
of all conflicts between nations
and toward a harmonious organic
alton of all mankind"
Future generations NAV profit
by the dreadful experience of our
time and settle international dis
putes judicially instead of by
force of arms-for the present,
however, we are confronted by the
grim possibility of war.
Your National Executive Com
mittee feels that an expression Of
it's views on the present compile
alton between our country and
GERMANY is expected by the Diff
ferent Societies comprising the
North American Gymnastic Union.
Such an expression we limit to
the simple statement that since
membership in our organization
is restricted to American citizens,
there can he no other thought
than that all its members will be
true to the demands of American
citizenship.
Let us bear in mind the tradi.
lions of our organization whose
members il the past responded so
nobly in the hous. of our coun-
try's need.
No matter where the sympath-
les of individual members may
rest. the tender voice of the heart
must b" silcnred should the stern
call of duty be heard.
Let us at this time support
President Wilson in all efforts in
tended to prevent tho present sit
uafion from eliminating in war.
Let us do our part now toward
bringing about better under
standin" between citizens in our
communities whose sympathins
for the one or the other side Of
the hrlligrrrnt nations have Often
ciashed in the heat of PARTISAN
shin. Al some future day peace
and rea"on will triumph over war
ana emotion. Let us prepare for
that day. Our home and conn
try is America!

If the ministers of the gospel
would preach the word of God and
out of the bible and explain It
and keep the foul stuff of their
tongues, / think that they would
have better church attendance
then what they arc having and
not poison the minds of the
children anv more than what
they are and it wouldn't crave an
appetite or desire for anything
but the way it is being preached

PICKETING OPPOSED
BY WOMAN'S PARTY
Mrs. Roessing Says Cameron House
Tactics Make Enemies.

Declaring that tactics used by the
National Woman's Party in an at
tempt to secure enactment of Susan
Il. Anthony amendment have no rela-
ton TO the suffrage cause. Mrs. Frank
NJ. Roessing, acting chairman of the
Congressional committee OF the Ma
tional Woman's Suffrage Association
issued a statement characteriZing the
movement as campaign for pub
licity at any price,
Mrs. Roessing predicts the passage
Of the Federal amendment at the next
session of Congress and claims no
credit will be due the Cameron House
agitators, whose methods. she says.
are well calculated to bring enemies
to the cause"
Mrs. Roessing declared: The motto
at Cameron House seems to be pub
licity at any price The tactics have,
in my opinion, no relation whatever
to the Federal suffrage amendment,
for which our organization. the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage AS
socia ton, is working. We do not ap-
prove such tactics, nor do we take
any part in them, because our policy
is suffrage first We expect to see
the passage of the Federal amendment
at the next session of Congress-but
it will come as the steady pressure of
public opinion aroused by those suf-
fragists who devote themselves to
making friends for the cause rather
than enemies"

OLD
BOY OVERCOMESBUL
Herbert Hosmer Escapes After Bat
tie with Huge Animal.

Chardon. Ohio, Aug. 16.-It's a long
way to Barcelona, Spain. but it means
nothing to 14-year-old Herbert Hos
mer.
Herbert sought to feed a bull a nice
red apple. The bull ragged. Quick as
flash Herbert grasped the bell ring
of the infuriated bovine and succeeded
in landing squarely on its back. Roar
ing and snorting, the bull raced about
the lot. 1t stopped suddenly and Her
bert was projected through the air for
spell and then landed hard. 1t look
ed like it was all over with Herbert.
but the lad fought gamely. When the
bull charged he rammed his little
hands into the animals nostrils and
gripped tight.
The bull sank to its knees and Her
bert took a chance and raced for the
fence, made it, and vaulted lightly
over to safety. Herbert breathlessly
told the story Of the fight to his
father. Taai
The elder Hosmer seized a shotgun
and killed the bull.

PLANS FOR PARADE
Being COMPLETED
War Department Will Cooperate
with Citizens in Event.

Definite plans are now being made
by the War Department for the DEM
onstratIon for the drafted men Sep
tember /, details of which will prob
ably be announced tomorrow.
The War Department 10 particularly
enthusiastic about the parade, which
is to be made an event OF national
Importance. 1t Is expected that not
only the eyes of Washington will be
centered on the demonstration. but
that 1t will be regarded by the world
at large as a demonstration of the
spirit of an entire country. coming
from the heart Of the nation, in the
city in which all foreign affairs OF
the United States are transacted.
1t is understood that the War De-
partment will announce definite pans
this afternoon. and that the executive
appointments will be made by that
department within q very short time.
1t is declared by men in Washington,
in touch with the official end of the
city that the department has taken
no definite action. but has only de-
clared itself in a general favorable
manner, because OF the pressure of
important matters. requiring imme-
date attention.
Citizens Want Parade.
There is at present. but a shade OF
doubt that the department will not
take the affair in hand and work joint
ly with the citizens representatives..
in arranging for the demonstration.
1t is pointed out, however, that there
may be a possibility, which although
improbable. is worthy of considera-
ton that the War Department, might
wish the men drafted not to partici-
pate for reasons best to be kept secret.
In such a case, which, although 1t is
repeatedly reiterated by men in
authority, is exceedingly improbable.
there could be a parade only under
the auspices of the civic authorities,
and it would not assume the import
ance of a national event except in the
fact that the citizens living in the
Capital of the nation wish to turn out
en- masse in wholehearted defiance to
the German Kaiser and principles of
militarism.
