FRISCO WORTHY.

It will not be very long before Walter Cox wins a race with the big gelding Frisco Worthy that finished second in one heat to Tacita when she landed the 2:1S class at Toledo in 2:0SA This horse is by San Francisco out of Lady Worthy, 2:11A, by Axworthy. Murphy had him as a colt but sent him home on account of a curb bothering him. His next appearance was in the auction ring at the Old Glory Sale in 1915 when l. R. Blumenthal of Hartford, Conn, picked him up for $225. The following spring he started him at a matinee of the Road Drivers Club and sold him for s1,000 to Jerry O'Ca1ahan. W. T. Crozier then took him in hand and started him in a special event at the Connecticut Fair which he won in 2:17A. Last year Sanford Small pur- chased him out of a race at Windsor Conn.,. for $3. 300. He turned him over to Walter Cox who gave him a record of 2:0SA at Syracuse during the New York State Fair.

POETRY
THE NORWICH COURIER.

We take many other papers. Perchance of more renown, But the one that most we care for Is the one from our home town Although long ago transplanted. Still we share the hopes and fears Of those old-time friends and neigh
 bors
 That we knew in former years. By the Farmers Talk to Farmers" We make our garden grow: And we think his sound philosophy The sanest sort we know As for the Social Corner,
 Each sisters recipe Is carefully read over,
 And tried right frequently. Fifty Years Ago" in Norwich
 Sometimes the teardrops swell, And sometimes they drip over,
 AS old times we knew so well Come rushing back to memory
 An How the years have flown! Yes. we are long transplanted,
 But Norwich is still our own! So send us, MT. Editor.

 That we hold passing dear Our lines in pleasant places
 Seem cast where'er we roam. But we love old scenes and faces
 In the city we yet call home! Florence M. Woodmansee.

pitably but when my companion told our hostess that I was the young man q was then twenty nine years old) who invented the Spencer rifle she said that while she did not wish me any harm she did wish I had never been born.
 Tn 1863 the managers of the com pany in Boston decided that they were not getting as many orders from the War Department as they could fill so they made an appointment for ne to show the rifle to President Lincoln. I arrived at Washington on the morning of August r and went direct to the White House. Present. ing my credentials, the man on the door showed me into the President S office. He was alone when I entered and appeared to be expecting me as without moments delay he took the gun out of my hands as soon as I removed it from the case examined it thoroughly and asked me to take it apart and show him how it worked. He then invited me to return at ? P M. and as he stated We would go out and see it shoot When I return ed at the time designated I found the President standing, with his son and an officer from the Navy named Mid dleton, on the steps of the White House. As we walked toward the War De- partment, the President rtquested his son to go in and invite Secretary Stanton to join us and see the shoot ing. While we were waiting for him to return and during a Hull in the con versation between Middleton and the President I mustered up enough courage to ask President Lincoln if it was not a great responsibility tc govern such a vast country during the war. Turning toward me he said with a smile: It is a big chore with the kind of help I have Also at the same time he noticed that one of the patch pockets on the black alpaca 1 coat that he was wearing was torr and taking pin from his vest he l fastened it up, remarking as he did It seefs to me that it does not look quite right for the Chief Magistrate of this mighty republic to be wearing a torn coat
 By this time Robert Lincaln re- turned and told his father that Secre- tary Stanton said he was too busy to go with him. We'll said the Prts- ident, they do pretty much as they have a mind to over there The foul Of us walked over to what is nov
