FAMOUS ENGLISH RACE HORSE
Eclipse. Bred by the Duke Of cumber.
land, Was the Sensation Of
His Generation.

That celebrated race horse, Eclipse,
which died Feb. IS, 1889, at the ripe
age Of IS years, received his name on
account of his being born during an
eclipse Of the sun. and it became curl
ously significant and appropriate when
In mature life he was found to pass
all contemporary horses as regarding
speed.
Eclipse was bred by the Duke Of
Cumberland, q brother Of George III.
and afterward became the property Of
Dennis O'Kelly, who on his death be-
queathed the animal, along with all
his brood mares and other horses, to
his brother Philip. For many years
Eclipse lived In retirement from the
turf, but was in other ways a source
OF considerable revenue to his owner
on account Of the many visitors who
came to see the renowned hero Of the
race track who was passing his last
days at Clay Hill near Epson.
In those days 1t was not the custom
to insure the lives Of animals, and
the fact that Eclipse was insured for
an enormous sum only made his popu-
larity the greater. When it became
necessary to remove him he was so
worn out that q carriage had to be
especially constructed to carry him.
The secret Of his immense success
was revealed by the autopsy, when 1t
was discovered that his heart was Of
unusual size, as it weighed thirteen
pounds.-Chicago Journal.

NEcKTE HALTED A ROMANCE
Lovers Who Had Been Apart for
Forty Years Made UP When Man
Wore Woman's Present

Forty years ago John Emmons and
Charity Timmons Of Bishopville, Del,
were twenty years old and sweet.
hearts. With her own hands Miss
Tmmons made q necktie as a gift for
her young gallant The evening Of
the day he received it Emmons put 1t
on. He didn't like the colors and re-
placed It.
AS usual, he visited Miss Timmons
that evening, according to a Selby-
vile (Del.) dispatch to the Philadel-
phia Ledger. 1t was a nice summer
night. The moon revealed that he
was not wearing loves token and Miss
Tmmons demanded the reason.
"Its too loud" replied the youth.
''Do you mean you will never wear
1t? Then you don't love me-" sobbed
the GIRL and she went into the house.
That apparently was the end Of the
romance. Emmons went to Portland,
Ore, and prospered. AS the owner Of
big department store In the far
Northwestern city, he returned to
Bishopville last Christmas for q visit.
It was inevitable that he should
meet his former sweetheart in the vii
lage. Soon each learned that the old
love would not die; that each had con-
sidered the other the only mate and
that neither had married.
OF course, Emmons proposed. Miss
Timmons did not refuse him, but she
bought tie as nearly like the one
that started all the trouble as she
could find. Then, when he wore it
without dinchtng, she coyly murmured
yes And SO they were married the
other evening.

WILD DOGS CAUSE PROBLEM
Threaten 90 Wipe Out the Sheep In
dustry In Some Breeding Districts
In Australia.

Wild dogs are presenting a serious
problem in Australia, according to
Central News dispatch in the London
Westminster Gazette. The correspond
ent at Broken Hill, New South Wales,
says that unless immediate measures
to protect the focks Of sheep are
taken, they will have to be replaced
by cattle in the districts north Of
Broken Hill.
The seriousness of the situation Is

WOMEN MUST AVOID WORRY
for Health, and So Destroys
Good Looks.

Every minute that woman spends
in worry, weakens the body for its
daily fight for health. It adds age,
1t causes deep burrows to appear on
the forehead, it Injuries the digestion
and robs life of all pleasures and
peace. So If you wish to keep your
good looks, don't worry.
Work gives incentive, and thus life
and health, to the organs Of the body.
1t strengthens our will, teaches US
patience, perseverance and the cour-
age to endure. 1t has been the sal
walton Of many. The homely duties
that are performed by the house moth
er each day, the sweeping, cooking
and home caring, ares wholesome du.
ties which lead to health and strength.
But If women allow their daily
tasks to fret and worry them. they
lose all Of the benefit they otherwise
would gain. 1t is not always the &C
tual work that wears out the nerves
and temper and ruins the disposition.
1t is the spirit in which the work is
done which allows worry to creep In.

Convicted by the Bible,

Law founded on the Bible Is good

A local man charged with not hav-
ing the tail light burning on his auto
mobile was arraigned before the may
or, who assessed q fine Of IS.
The accused protested, said 1t was
a poor law under which he was fined
and that he did not think 1t would hold

The mayor declared any law found
ed on the Bible was good enough for
him. The defendant said he couldn't
see where q tail light had anything to
do with the Bible. The mayor looked
pityingly at the accused, and said:
do you remember the tale about
the ten virgins, five of whom had lights
and five of whom didn't? Well, If you
do, you will remember that the Lord
wouldn't have anything to do with the
five without lights, and neither will

Progressed by Slow Stages.

Thirty years ago the men Of Hart
shay, hamlet of Derbyshire, England,
were accustomed to meet at a bridge
on the edge Of the town, where they
would read the papers and discuss
events. This was all right In summer
time, but In the winter it was differ
ent and they would occasionally ad-
journ to sheltered spot under the
bridge. From this they moved into G
vacated pigsty and later annexed an
other pigsty. This rude building was
improved by their own efforts until it
was fairly comfortable place. From
this humble origin there is now
rather pretentious library. with the
best papers and magazines and
stock of good books.

The Young Lady From Lynn.

Substituting nat ulal condition do
not mean putting q lot of rich, heavy
greasy food in the bodily machine.
That would be foolish The body
can't use the food it's getting now
That's what's the matter with it.
The thing to do is to adjust the body
machine SO that it can function nor
mally and make proper use of the food
put into it.
The Chiropractor is the expert me-
chanic of the body machine. His job
is to adjust it so that it will function
normally.
The Chirpractor doesn't tinker with
the inside world Of the machine That S
natures job. And he doesn't put a lot
Of drugs and poisons into it to bother
nature. He simply makes the neces-
sary external mechanical adjustments.
Once the body machine is properly
adjusted, food elements are transform
ed naturally into firm tissue. "Skinni-
ness" vanishes.
If the young lady from Lynn had
taken Chiropractic adjustments she
would never have taken her dis
astrous dive.
