IRENE FINISHED FIRST

Anyway it was something like that,
finished first or first finished, its all
the same and if Irene, the famous
running hess of Clio, couldn't win
that race at Saginaw it was no fault
of her owners and hackers. They
placed unlimited faith in Irene, rubb-
ed her, groomed her and spent pre-
cious hours-delicious hours-study-
ing the dope" which led them to be-
lieve that Irene was an unknown, or
at least an undeveloped prodigy. Out
OF their trCstful faita grew the fact
that on Sunday morning last, long
before church time, cavalcade Of
automobiles, occupied by six promin-
ent young men of Clio, might have
been seen vending its way, Irene
tethered to the last machine, toward
Saginaw Blissful anticipation; eter-
nal hope. If Irene could have contin-
ued to be hitched behind speedy car
she could have made a record that
would have meant eternal glory for
all concerned. But, Gee Whizl the
crooked bunch had things fixed.
They knew that Irene could run one
little mile faster'n any of the other
skates and so they let her run it and
then declared the heat "no race"
That settled it. When Irene ran her
exhibition mile she was "all in" 1t
certainly was darned men trick.
But that wasn't all. Having witness
ed Irene's mighty burst of speed, be-
ing fearful of how she might tear
up the track, and realizing that the
other runners would be entirely out
classes, they declared all the remain
ing running races off. But next
year; look out for Irene on the grand
circuit!

IN MEMORIAM

"a precious one from US has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
When evening shades are falling
And we are sitting all alone,
To our hearts there comes longing
If Clara only could come home.
Often and often our thoughts do wan
der
To grave not far away,
Where we laid our darling daughter
Just one year ago today"

Hugh Mccormick and sons, Archie
and Lloyd, Elias Hitler, Ernest Hill
lier, Zach Whaley, Ed. Whaley,
Matthew Martin, Alex Koonrad, Nolan
Conlee and G. A. Lacure visited the
famous Prairie Farm in Saginaw
county, Sunday.
They were treated very nicely and
given permission to visit every part
Of the farm. 1t is certainly some
farm, consisting of 1000 acres of
originally worthless swamp, convert
ed into a veritable garden. bikes
surround the entire farm, so that no
water gets on the land, only as it
falls there. The stock and crops
were certainly wonderful. Eight
hundred ninety acres of the best SUI
gar beets we ever saw. 1t would
certainly pay any one to make the
farm a visit.

DEPICTS ROMAN FORUM.
Prof. Helen II. Tanner Shows Views
of Historic Ruins.

The ancient Roman forum was
brought down to modern times in
pictures in an illustrated lecture last
night at the Public Library by Prof.
Helen II. Tanner of Hunter College.
New York.
Prof Tanner displayed some views
of the republican forum of ancient
Rome, as 1t has been excavated by
the Italian government for the value
of its antiquities and historical relics.
The views shown included some
showing parts of the forum which
have been reconstructed from the
ruins found by digging around the
Coliseum.
She said the preservation of the
ruins is remarkable considering the
time which has elapsed since the fall
of Rome before the Goths, compare
lively early in the Christian era. The
arches of Tiberius and other Roman
emperors are still intact. the views
showed. and parts of the ancient tenn
pies with which the forum was thick
1y dotted are still standing. The
Italian government has reconstruct
ed the Via Sacra (the Sacred Way
and the ancient road revered by the
Romans still winds between the ruins
of the temples as it did in the days
of Caesar.

New York City
By o. o. Mcfntyre

New York. FEB. 2s,--volplaning
rents in greater New York have
caused several civic Investigations
which flzzle at the climax and leave
the renter with nothing-but the
prospects of another gouge. One OF
the largest hotels in town announc-
ed a few weeks ago that they were
completely filled and would be for
- weeks in advance.
The day. of the 81 room with bath
is only a happy memory. The aver
age price for a room with bath In a
first-class hotel Is 81 and In some
cases a single room brings SIS.
Basement rooms In side street
boarding house-where they give
YOU one towel a week and back talk
IL you ask for more-are command
ing s12 a week. The old hall bed
room Of yester year that rented for
IS a week now rents for s12.
The better class boarding houses
are getting $50 a week for room
and meals for two persons. That Is
the minimum price. The scale goes
up to 800. There seems little pros
pect of rents coming down for at
least a year, although many new
apartment houses are going up, but
they are not going up fast enough
for the increase in population.
Manhattan Island Is jammed,
stuffed and packed. Private clubs
have waiting lists that are fairly
staggering. Little ready-to-wear
houses are being set up on the tops
of apartment houses. Down by
Brooklyn Bridge they found a fam
lily living In a tent the other day.
The New York newspapers report
a unique bit of philanthropy on the
part of A. NJ. Andrews, New York
and Chicago banker. who winters In
California. He has a big yacht
The Sachem-which Is anchored In
the Harlem river. When he read OF
the crowded housing conditions In
New York. he ordered a representa-
tive to find a worthy family to oc-
cupy his yacht.
A father, mother and daughter,
who was just entering Columbia,
were found. They could not discover
a place within their means and so
they were permitted the use OF the
yacht where they have all the COM
forts of a miniature palace-with
couple of japanese servants thrown
in.
But such luck does not come to
everyone. There are to be found
dozens of men and women sleeping
in the railroad station benches at
night. They have plenty of money.
but they cannot find quarters. And
a depot bench is preferable to a
police station or walking the
streets.
