DOG AND CAT.

"Chink, the dog, and Zeppy, the cat,
were talking" said Daddy.
'.Chink was sitting inside a screened
piazza and Zeppy was sitting out
side.
"Of course, they were great friends
and the reason one was outside and
the other inside was because Chink
had been mapping and zeppy had been
out for an airing. They belonged to
the same lady and they We're very
happy and very friendly.
81 really would be ashamed said.
Zeppy, 'if I had to have screens and
mosquito netting put up because of
me. Why the mosquitoes and flies
haven't got any decent pride.
".They don't mind if they're not
Saked in. They don't even mind if
they hive screens put up on piazzas
and in windows to keep them out.
" If they get a chance to get in they
will just the same. Now am outside
of course, but all have to do is me-
oW and am allowed in, and if you are
out you know what you have to do to
get in.
"sOf course said Chink, sail I
have to do is to stand in front of the
door and wag my tail and they let me
in. I am really invited in Whenever /
want to go in, am member os the
family as you are. But cannot W.
derstand the ways of mosquitoes and
the ways of flies who will come in
even when things are made so plain
that they must stay out.
"sNow it is true that here on the
farm they put up scarecrows to look
like men to scare the crows away.
but the actions Of crows are lit
tie more easily understood. The crows
simply want a meal, they do not want
to come around and bite people and
make them uncomfortable.

talking to him and saying.
"'"WeIl, old boy, those two scare
crows in the fields beyond are put up
for you"
".He looks so real sitting there on
the fence
az knew he wasn't real said Yep
by, for I sat and watched him for
ever so long and lie didn't cav. I
went up to him and asked him if he
couldn't cav.
'.s"My dear fellow" said to him,
.'are you quite dumb, can't you speak? p
And he didn't say word.
80 l knew he was make-believe
crow for between not answering and
not moving one could tell.
"sAnd then day or so afterwards
saw the lady who looks after us all
pick up the crow and fix him so he
looks in another direction as she put
him and then knew he wasn't real.
81 am glad I'm not make-believe
cat. If I were make-believe cat /
wouldn't be given any milk
"sYou wouldn't want any milk If
you were a make-beiieye cat,i said
Chink
".Oh, but once / passed a house,
and outside were two make-believe
lions. Their mouths were open and
felt so sorry that they couldn't be
given bones and big chunks Of meat
and that they couldn't roar.
"sWell, I never before knew you to
care so much for other creatures
laughed Chink.
"'pm feeling sorry for make-belieye
creatures, not for real ones, grinned
Zeppy.
Ibid you hear that the youngest
kitten of Mrs. Black Cat was playing
with a key she got out of the pantry
door and that she lost It and that no
one could get into the pantry and
there was a terrible time? They had
to break the lock-
"sWhy. what exciting news you
have to tell. No. didn't hear that.
Well, well, and did they send the kit
ten to bed without any milk for sup
per?'
"They didn't for she was too young,
she didn't know any better
"'Ah, it is nice to be friends isn't
it, Zephyr
"'Fine, fine, meow, meow said
Zeppy. But it is beyond me as
said in the first place to understand
creatures like mosquitoes and fSes
who get all the hints that they aren't
wanted and still haven't pride enough
to stay away

stand either said Chink."

Mr.. Riddle bought Man O. War on bid of $1,000
at the Belmont yearling sale of 1918 at Saratoga,
at which three other colts brought upward OF
$4,000 each.
AS 2-year-oid Man o. War ran nine races and
won them all except the Sanford Memorial at
Saratoga In that stake j. LOTUS got him practi-
cally left at the post and he was beaten neck
by Ell. P. Whitney's Upset In IL Is. At the next
meeting Man o. War beat Upset like breaking
sticks Incidentally, ]. Lotus could get license
to ride this year.
Up to July 10 Man o. War had run Eve races
this year and had won them all-the Preakness,
Withers, Stuyvesant Belmont and Dryer.
AS 2year-old he won $83,325. His victory in
the Dwyer brought his 1920 winnings to $44,475,
and made him the leading money-Winning horse
Of the year. Were his owner a stake-hog instead
of sportsman, he could doubtless have won the
rich Kentucky and Latonia derbies with the colt
Man o. War a 2-year-old met and defeated
the best of his age, including Upset. Golden
ique and John p. Grer The racing world rec
ognized his quality and asked: "Will he go on as
a 3-year-old" Man O. War answered the question
by winning the Preakness at Pimlico last spring
from Upset. Wildair and King Thrush in 81 3-5
for the mile and an eighth with 126 pounds up.

toric Withers at Belmont May %. He from
Wildair and David Harum, running the mile in
1 35 As with 118 pounds up. This is q Amer
lean record, the fastest mile in actual racing. The
record displaced was that of SO Is, held jointly
by Sun Briar and Fairy Wand Yet Man O. War
was only galloping he was hard held and was
let down only for eighth.
In the Belmont Man o. War, with 126 pounds up,
ran the mile and three-eighths in q IA 1-5, new
American record, displacing that of Sir Barton's
2:17 2-5 In 1919. 1t is also a world record. Dean
Swift ran the distance in 1908 in 2:16 25 at Liver
pool England. Jockey Hummer sat still, neither
restraining nor urging his horse Man O. War
ran to suit himself and wanted to go on at the
finish. The course Is like the letter s and partly
it Is training track.

scribing. There's only trouble-he practically
scares out all competitors. But to make AMENDS
he usually breaks record
Even veteran professional turf writer's permit
themselves to speak Of Man O. War as the "un-
disputed champion Of the American turf" cham
pion of champions among thoroughbreds past and
present" and so on. Some Of them get almost
hysterical Here's the New York Tribune, for In
stance on Man O. Wars performance In the Dwyer
stakes at Aqueduct:
l. seMan o. War, the handsome 3-year-oId chestnut
colt Of Samuel D. Riddle, which earlier this sea-
son had established himself the greatest thor
Oughbred Of the age, proved himself the morse OF
eternity at Aqueduct yesterday afternoon. one
stops awestruck, in contemplation Of this, coos
nobIest handiwork in horsefesh. Words are In
adequate to describe him. The great colt the
perfect horse the irrepressible son of Fair Play,
again did what other horse Of history ever
had done: he ran mile and furlong In 49 10
Man o. War is a great horse. Now, to discuss
a thing ntelligently it must be defined. So, what
is q great horse? Well great horse, like gen.
tleman,. is hard to define But it is automatic
that a great horse must have certain qualities
He must have speed. He must have courage. He
must be able to carry weight. He must be able
to 90 a distance He must have the intelligence
to play the game He must be consistent in per-
Torrance He must be willing to do his best
Other desirable qualities are good disposition, an
euuable temperament, rugged constitution ana
a sound body. And above all he must have that
indefnable something called class-that something
which enables the stake horse to hook up with
the platter in the stretch, look him in the eye and
go on to win.
It would seem too much to expect of horsefesh
that any one individual should have all these quail
ties Nevertheless, Man O. War apparently has
them all. Anyway, here are some of the exact
facts about this sensation Of the racing season
of 1920:
Man O. War is an aristocrat of aristocrats. Here,

Withers
Man o. War is watched day and night His
personal caretaker is Frank Lotus. Give Cor
don rides him in his work. His stable name Is
Red He hasn't mean hair on him. He has
tremendous appetite, sleeps like a tired boy and
apparently has no nerves. The cheering crowds
do not excite him. A race like the Dwyer does
not upset him in the least He is perfectly sound
has never been cut or bruised in race and has
never even sneezed since Mr.. Riddle got him. And
he'd rather run than eat. Those who know his
work say he can break any record he goes after.
Man O. War seems to enjoy the parade and the
applause and acts his prettiest. He is well-be-
haved at the post. He is quick breaker. He
runs with full enjoyment of the race. He travels
so smoothly and with little friction that experts
pronounce his action perfection.
Clarence Hummer rode Man o. War In all his
races this year. Two days after the running Of the
Dwyer Runners mount, Costly Colors fell and
the jockey got bad fall, which sent him to the
hospital. 1t was said later by Mr.. Riddle that
Hummer would he in shape to ride Man o. War
in his fall engagements.
Man O. War is not for sale at any price. Mr..
Riddle was offered 100000 before the champion
raced this year ;; the latest offer made public was
100000 by Joseph L. Murphy of Philadelphia.
Mr.. Riddle plans to have Man o. War carry the
black and yellow silks for two years more and
then put him at the head Of the stud he Ia
forming.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT


Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition. they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of ann
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle inn
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
K;lmer & Co., Binghamton. N. Y, for 9

mention this paper.-Adv.

Mr.. AND MRS. TAYLOR WRITE

Here we are sitting in a double
swing under a shady tree on the very
edge of beautiful Winona Lake, In
diana. The lake is as clear as crys-
tai and is about three miles long and
a mile wide, surrounded by rich farm
ing country, with clumps Of trees
coming down to the waters edge.
The village itself contains about
2OOO during the winter, but on ac-
count of the great musical and liter
airy attraction the population swells
in summer time to fifteen thousand.
The roads round about here are
exceedingly well kept and on
special occasions neighbors drive in
so as to completely fill the new audi
torium, capacity ten thousand.
The cottages and hotels are built
on the ridge overlooking the lake and
the abundance of naples, oaks and
elms make a magnificent, restful
grove. The squirrels here are even
more tame than in Berea, and the
birds are so friendly as to make one
think of "Hiawatha's chickens"
In the great auditorium is a con-
tinual feast Of good things. On
Saturday evening a musical contest
in which some fifty voices are blended
in gentle rivalry, the adjudicator for
the evening being Prof. R.. G. Jones,
of Chicago. He was very fair and
just in his criticism, but at times al
most harsh; after all, however, our
harshest critics often serve us help
fully by stirring us up to greater and
higher ambitions. A Miss Catherine
Carmichael acts as part accompanist
and is one of the cleverest I've ever
heard.
On Sunday morning a great Bible
class of several hundred met out
under the trees and were led by DR..
A. Christie Brown-made me. think
of my great class there in Berea,
only older grown and "whiskered."
At eleven, DIR. G. Campbell Morgan,
formerly Of London Tabernacle, Eng
land, gave a wonderful discourse from
the text Jer. 17:12, and a quartette
of ladies' rendered a beautiful selec-
tion. Also the chorus gave a wonder
full selection: "From Every Stormy
Wind That Blows" Mrs. Dickey sing
ing the vocal obligato. She is the
daughter Of the founder of this great
assembly.
We are living in a very comfort
able little hotel on the hillside (The
Franconia), with plenty of shade
trees and wide porches and plenty of
