Bess Wilson's Forgiveness.

Bess Wilson's Forgiveness.
This being the Christmas. season we
are trying to cultivate true spirit of
forgiveness We have almost, but not
quite, forgiven the last bringer Of coal
who succeeded, while depositing seven
tablespoonful of black diamonds in
our bin, in cutting four ruts eight
inches, in our back lawn and doing
somewhat slighter damage to the
lawns of our neighbors on the other
side. We have succeeded in forgiving
him what he did to the neighbors any,
way.-Redwood Gazette.

fATES ATTEND BABY'S BIRTH
Peculiar Superstition That Has Strong
Hold on the Poorer Glasses
of Greece.

Almost every nation has some par
ticular superstition or belief about
babies, and these result in actions
which vary all the way from the ut
terly absurd to the terrible tragic.
The peasantry of Greece firmly believe
that the future Of every child is de-
termined by three fates, known as the
Moral. In the popular mind these
faies are three old women, whose
habitation is a mountain cave and
they come together to house where
there Is q newborn child. In prepare
ton for them, all furniture is set aside,
that their totteripg footsteps may not
be impeded, and refreshments in the
shape of honey, bread, cakes and wine
are set out for these important though
Invisible guests. Money, too, is placed
on the table, as bribe, for it is be-
Heved that in the gift Of these fates
ale all good things as well as bad.
Under no circumstances must child's
beauty be alluded to while the Moral
may be in the house, or they will GER
family make its good looks disappear.

BELMONT TO RESUME RACING
Intention of Wealthy Breeder Became
Known When He Entered Colt
in Stake Events.

The maroon and red racing colors
Of Major August Belmont will be seen
on the New York tracks once more in
1920. Among others who will race un-
der the silks of the chairman Of the
Jockey club is a coming 2-year-old
named All Hours. He is brown son
of Negofol and Hour Glass III and
therefore full brother to the great
Hourless, who won a majority of the
stakes on the New York tracks while
racing for the Belmont stable and is
now in the stud with prospect Of
having winners of his get racing dur
irg the coming season.
The intention of Major Belmont to
resume racing Of thoroUghbreds of his
own breeding was made known when
he entered All Hours in the Juvenile

olds to be run during the spring meet
ings at Belmont park.

POPULAR IMPRESSION
OF SHEEP is ERROR
Grazing Animals OH Golf Courses
Is Poor Practice.
Practically All of Big Clubs in Eng.
land Regret Making Experiment
to Help Increase Food Sup.
plies During the War.

To the question of whether golf
courses benefit by allowing sheep to
Craze on them comes from England an
emphatic negative. In the early days
of golf the belief was generally ac-
cepted that sheep were good for the
courses, but in the process of time it
was discovered that drives through the
green could be made just as good III
places where it was impossible or in
convenient to Craze sheep as on reg
ular sheep runs.
The war repealed the whole truth
about the effect exercised by sheep on
turf used for golf. Many clubs did
their bit during the war to increase
the food supplies of the country,
either by doing sheep farming them
selves or by allowing neighboring
farmers to Craze sheep over their
courses. Practically all of them, &C.
cording to London Field, have cause
to regret the necessity of making the
experiment.
Sheep do little harm, If no positive
good, says the Field on genuine links,
such as st. Andrews. For one thing,

Andrews drives them to the less fire.
quented spaces during the hours OF
daylight On rich clay soil, which
might be warranted to crop thirty
hundredweight of hay to the acre in
an average year. they may even do
some good by fining down the growth
of grass.
But it is a great mistake to intro
duce sheep on those courses which,
if they are not quite the real thing,
form the best substitute for seaside
links. Such courses are carved by In
genious architects to the order Of capt.
talist committees out of heathery
wastes or virgin forests. 1t is highly
important to keep the fairways and
putting green's poor when once they
have been constructed.
Not few green's committees, in
their anxiety to get a new course
ready for play at the earliest possible
moment, have exceeded in the use of
manure and top dressing. AS result
the water does not drain away from
the surface so quickly as it should
in winter, and in summer the soil is
capable of becoming hard baked.

Artificial Scents.

The great bulk of perfumes are
chemical productions. The Wall Street
Journal says the commercial problem
is whether the American perfumer of
the future is to be an artisan or an
artist. Shall he deal with the fragrance
of flowers or chemical od0rs and
scents? The idea of the layman is
that the cosnic chemist seeks the
odor of flowers, but as matter OF
fact synthetic chemistry not only
crowns his work with the crushed oil
Of roses, violets and jessamine, but
seeks to rival the fragrance of flowers
with superior scents originating wholly
within the laboratory and trade
marked as such.

YOUNG BOB AVOIDS MANAGER

ARTICLE XI.
Richard Mason Hancock.

Richard Mason Hancock.
Mr.. Hancock was born of free
parents at Newberne, North Caro-
lima, November %, 1832.-Died June
3rd. 1899. At an early age he was
sent to a private school in his native
town, the public schools not being
open to the colored children as the
laws of the state were opposed to
the education of negro children.
Here he mastered the rudiments OF
common school course, and when
thirteen years old began as car
penter apprentice under his father.
He worked nine years at the bench
by that time having gained thor
ough knowledge of the trade, and
having attained his majority he left
North Carolina and went to New
Haven, Connecticut. He found en-
ployment at his trade with Messrs.
Atwater, Treat, Doolittle & Co.,
as joiner, this be- g his speciality.
He finally drifted to Lockport,
New York, where he followed ship
carpentry for two years, building ca
nal boats, after which he entered
the employ of the Holly Manufactur-
ing Company, with whom he remain
ed four years. While with them he
learned pattern-making, branch
of the trade which requires first of
all complete mastery of carpenter
ing, besides an acquaintance with
higher mathematics /, knowledge of
draughting and II onstant excer-
else of the very Judgment. For
four years he stuo nd vori,ed to
make himself prot id at the
end of that period Mastered all
the theory and much of the practical
details of that branch of rs trade.
He came to Chicago in 1862, and
shortly after obtained employment
in the shops of the Eagle Works
Manufacturing Company, WHOSE pre-
sident, Mr.. P. w. Gates, WIS true
and tried friend of the n, gro, when
all the law and nearly all the public
sentiment of the land was in favor
of keeping him in slavery. At that
time this company operated the larg-
est machinery and boiler shop in the
West.
After working as a journeyman
for two years, he was promoted to
the foremanship of the pattern dept,
and had under his direction four
teen white men. To serve under a
negro foreman, was too much for
their Northern blood, so they struck.
For three days Mr.. Hancock was
monarch of all he surveyed" But
the prospect was not pleasing one,
for the shop was crowded with or
ders and there was more work to
get out than he could perform I'M
aided. Fearing that its delayed ex-
ecution might injure him With his
employer, he went before the presi-
dent and rendered his resignation.
After hearing him thru Mr.. Gates
said: "Oh go back to work. 1t will
