HORSES MOVING
TO SARATOGA
Racing Season Shifts to
Spa for Month Meet
ing Thursday.

New; York. July 2e.-The racing sea-
son will shift to Saratoga for a
month. beginning Thursday after
noon. In years past Saratoga always
has proven one of the most popular
courses of the East. With the game
-re-established in public esteem there
Is every reason to believe the Spa Will
witness the greatest revival Of the
thoroughbred sport since the health
of the game was threatened by the
anti-betting laws.
No one will be particularly dis
pleased when the present Empire CITY
meeting comes to a close. 1t has been
somewhat distressful In more than
one particular besides the starting.
The work of some of the jockeys has
not been above suspicion; there tave
been one or two startling reversals or
form, even though the stewards saw
At to disregard the incidents, v they
indeed ever did see them. Particular
'ly was the late win of Scoots a tri-
umph to make the skeptics scratch
their heads in thought.
Racing seems now well established.
But II cannot stand boat racing.
Neither can 1t tolerate questionable
work on the part of jockeys who have
returned to the turf after having been
ruled of. as have several consistent
performers that might be mentioned.
Any one ruled of the turf should be
barred for life.
Saratoga will be as pronounced a
success or as dismal failure rs those
in control wish to make 1t. The pub
lie Is looking to this particular meet
ing as the surcease of the many trials
and tribulations that have character
lied the game so far this season. II
that faith Is justified, well and FOOD.
II the faith is betrayed. it will be a
sorry day for those who have the in
terests of the racing game most at
heart-the ones who benefit directly
from the gate.

How comical, how funny it seemed to the

Sometime ago | heard roar of laughter in
the hall Of my own home. [ walked out of the
study and found the household laughing i'm
moderately at my little boy, who was coming
down the stairs dressed in full suit of my
clothing. He had tied string around the but
tons of my pants and pulled the waistband close
up under his arms, and rolled the pants up at
the bottom. The vest reached to his knees.
The long coat dragged the floor, the big hat
almost hid his head, and his feet were lost in
my number nine shoes.

Ask ten different men the meaning of

To one it means love at the hearth. it

cord never sounds it's warwhoop and de-
ception never tricks with It's false face. To
him it means greeting at the door and
smile at the chair, peace lowering like
wings, joy clapping it's hands with laugh

the ripples sleep the shadows.

will tell you it is want looking out of a

A friend Of mine went home, and he heard
the children in the hall laughing. A five year
old boy had dressed in his father s clothes. He
pulled the pantaloons up, drawn under his arms
with little string for suspenders. The vest
was on, and the vest came to the floor. The coat
dragged two feet on the floor. The sleeves
came six inches beyond the hand. The collar
looked like horse s collar. The hat hung down
and hit his shoulders.

HOME, SWEET HOME

You can ask ten men for definition of
home and they will give you ten different
definitions.
The one will say it is the love Of hearth;
the next, plenty to eat on the table, plenty
to wear; work and comfort intelligence
and devotion; a greeting with kiss when
you come in; a regrettable goodbye when
you leave.
To another, want looks out from home
squalor, vice, hunger and an empty tray;
tomb where the air is rent with curses;
no Bible: no Sabbath Day, children who
are robbers and thieves, obscene songs
their lullaby; every face picture of want;
the vestibule of the pit, the doormat to
hell, the chains forging links to bind them
down to perdition.

cow FOLLOWS HER CALF

I was down in Sharon, Pennsylvania, about
four years ago, and [ was going home from one
of the afternoon meetings, and going across the
Shenango River | saw, on the bridge, movers
wagon loaded with goods, and, going down the
street amidst the crowds, an old cow was follow
ing after. She came on, and did not seem to
mind the interurban from Youngstown, Ohio, or
any Of the traffic, and I said, s'That is unusual
Just look at that old cow" looked up and
there in cage was little calf, and l said
'tOh, I see; the mystery is solved now. That is
her calf and she doesn t propose to let her eyes
get off that calf.
I looked across the street to place where
they sold high-priced champagne, and there
stood four young fellows all under twenty
They had cigarets hanging from their mouths,
caps that looked like fried eggs, trousers turned
up like cuffs silk Shirts flowing neckties, and
l said, EThat old cow has more sense than the
mothers Of those young men. That cow is 60
ing to know every minute where her calf is,
while probably the mothers of those young boys
are off to some b. lge whist or wine-drinking
affairs, probably discussing me, and leaving
them to go to the devil" I said, 81 take my
hat off to that old cow

Passing down the streets Of Chattanooga, |
saw an old COW trotting along at the rear Of
wagon She was not tied. But everywhere
the wagon went the nose Of the old cow was
close to the hind gate. She paid no attention to
carriage or wagon or street car. She followed
the wagon, and I could not understand it. l
waited until the wagon approached me and as
certained the secret A little calf was in a
box up in that wagon She was determined to
see what became Of her calf.

In the home authority is needed today more
than at any time in the history Of this nation.
