Lane Mountain.

That one of the noble peaks of the
Tatoosh Mountains in Rainier Ma
tional Park should bear the name of
the late FRANKLIN X. LANE is the ap-
propriate and commendable recon-
mendation made by the Rainier Park
Advisory Board to the United States
Geographic Board. In the communi-
cation sent to Washington by AsHAEL
CURTIS. chairman of the advisory
board a splendid eminence 1000 feet
in height is suggested as a proper
monument to Mr.. LANE.
Among all the worthy things Mr..
LANE did in his useful life none was
OF more lasting Importance than the
Intelligent and Jealous guardianship
he exercised as Secretary Of the In
terror over the national parks which
have been set aside for the preser-
vation OF natural beauty, for sports
and as refugees for game. Mr.. LANE
believed these reservations should be
known and used by as MANI Ameri-
cans as could get to them; that their
resources should be utilized when
ever this could be done without In
jury; and that above all else the
people should be told what wonder
ful heritage they possess in these
parks. He advertised them widely
and policed them thoroughly. To
day more persons know OF the parks,
more persons visit them and more
persons are ready to defend their
integrity than ever before. and the
credit for this belongs largely 10
FRANKLIN X. LANE, who loved the
great outdoors.
No doubt Mr. LANES friends In
Washington State have settled on
mountain worthy to bear his name.
No better way to give evidence of his
fame among his contemporaries could
be found than TO carry out their
recommendation at once.

Vermont, but he could be found on
the promenade or viewing some par
ticularly fine specimen in the stalls
below stairs every afternoon and
evening during the week the old
Garden was devoted TO the big ex-
hibition.
The news that the show will in
future be held uptown viii revive in
old timers "reminiscences Of other
days. The period when Fatty BATES
was wont to take the place by storm
with his driving had q professional
setting. BATES was cherubic and
pink. but he could drive. Another
character OF the same time who gave
New Workers thrill by his nerve
and horsemanship was JACK BRAT
TON OF st. Louis. who had many hair
breadth escapes while showing his
fours with typical Western abandon.
Recollections are vivid OF the superb
trotting stallion Mambrino King,
which CICERO ]. HAMLIN brought an
nually from his Village Farm in Erie
county. This horse was always
shown in the ring with only a white
cord around his lower jaw, the bride
being reserved for the breeding sea-
son. and the white coated, ebony
skinned boy who showed the exquis-
tte chestnut was almost as much Of
an attraction as the horse. With
his hand on the stations withers he
sprinted in a way that brought the
crowd to its feet.
Those were the great days when
competition was lively in the hack
neyclasses-thep period which brought
Matchless OF Londesborough and
others OF his type into the arena
followed by the rivalries in connec-
tion with the light harness horse
when Colonel LAWRENCE KIP was a
leader in the showing of fine road
sters. We have the hackney and the
roadster still. but not in the numbers
Of the Horse Shows golden days.
No property in New York has been
the subject OF more real estate ru-
mors than Madison Square Garden,
and every rumor has made the future
home of the National Horse Show a
matter Of conjecture. There was
even talk OF its abandonment If a
change had to be made. 1t is there
fore favorable omen for the future
Of the horse to learn that the man
agement has selected dates in No
vember and that New Workers. will
have the same old popular show with
new setting.

Crying Over the Inevitable.

At the convention OF the confec-
TONERS in Atlantic City is heard the
tale OF great business tragedy"
The speakers say, almost with tears,
that they are putting 80 cent sugar
in 20 cent candy"
Perhaps 1t is the common ex-
perience of every business in the
hour OF defiation. But the philoso-
pher in business keeps a stiff upper
lip over it. And IL he can remember
as far back as the days when he was
putting cent sugar in 10 cent candy
he grins.
The sooner the business man,
wholesale or retail, decides to recon.
cile himself and shape his prices to
the natural decline the better he and
his business will feel.

Far1ningdale's Memorial Oak.

The custom OF planting n memorial
tree IN soil brought from a distant
spot intimately associated with the
object to be commemorated is Of great
antiquity, just as the symbolical
pouring Of water from Lake Erie into

TON to mark the completion OF the
Erie Canal was an adaptation OF a
practice whose beginnings go back
lar beyond the beginning OF history

Horse Show Memories.

Many lovers Of the horse will re-
gret the transfer OF the Horse Show
to the armory Of Squadron A from
historic Madison Square Garden,
which has been the scene Of so many
brilliant displays OF what the coun-
try at large has long hailed as one
OF the autumn's most important
sporting and social functions.
Madison Square Garden is rich in
traditions. No matter how attractive
the new home OF the National Horse
Show may be made II will lack the
associations and memories Of the
arena which was once the most cen.
trial spot in New York for great gath
erings. When Delmonicos, the Hoff-
man. Brunswick, st. James. the Gil
sey and Albemarle hotels and the
Fifth Avenue were only a stones
throw from the doors Of Madison
Square Garden II was indeed the Fps
OF New York
All these famous hotels are gone

I have played the game more than hfty

They were playing four handed. and
Their opponents had to go and
were laughing at them when the gen.

cards. My son held three aces and
the jack OF hearts and cut the four Of
hearts, the only card in the pack which
could give him the play he made.
he led the Jack OF hearts and the
mex. player put down king. My sons
partner played seven spot and the
dealer played an ace, making 2S. My
son played an ace. counting AMI
making 29. No one could play and my
scn played another ace. counting 80.
and making more for the three aces.
and then played his remaining ace, maxi
ing ~ more. or 90 altogether.
His hand of three aces and a Jack
with the four spot OF hearts cut made
II more: his count Of 81 gave MIN 2

member for this most remarkable play
and the laughter Of his opponents sud

Printers INK hundreds OF advertising
and promulgative slogans and slogans
collected by the editor. Many OF these
were OF such length that In my opin-
Ion essay, argument. sermon or dis
course would have been a more appro-
pirate designation than the word slogan.
There being, am trustworthily in
formed, q limit 70 everything, permit
Ege to advance the proposition that six
words. with little or no punctuation
inside, be regarded as the limit OF the
true slogan.

he trained stable in England beau
titul Ballaton Lodge at Newmarket
was his headquarters, and when he
was leaving for the United States
English horsemen gave him a recep-
lion. which is still talked OF abroad.
He is one OF the American trainers
who would be welcomed II he should
ever care to return TO England.
Some OF the best horses trained by
JoYSER were Fair Play, the sire OF
Man O. War, which he prepared to
race in the colors OF AUGUST Bet
MONT; Whisk Broom IL, which he
raced in England for WILLIAM c.
WHITNEY; the filly Hamburg Belle,
with which he won the rich Futurity
Stakes for J. B. HAGGIN, the Ameri-
can copper king, and his English
partner, SYDNEY PAGEr, and the
handsome horse Ethelbert, which ne
trained for PERRY BELMONT. The
black horse Water Boy. which had
been discarded as cripple, was an
other thoroughbred whose reputation
was made by the clever Southern
horseman.
Before he went TO England JoYNER
was famous on American racetracks
for the rebel yell with which he
used to cheer his charges In hard
fought finish. 1t is recorded that he
gave staid Ascot q momentary shock
by indulging in resounding war
whoop when one of his stable van
Quished a strong field Of competitors
the first year he went abroad. Once
or twice since his return he has tried
his voice and 1t is still vibrant and
apparently good for many years TO
come.
The career OF ANDREW JACKSON
JoYNER Is much like that Of ED
GEERs, the dean of the trotting horse
drivers, who has the confidence of
every follower OF the trotting turf.
There has never been a suspicion OF
wrongdoing connected with his name
and his influence has always been
exerted along lines which make for
the Improvement of the thorough
bred and the good Of the turf.

Bubbles that float on the air:
And there may be few
Little castles FOR you
Right next TO my castle fair
A fine, long sweep where the meadows

On the banks of winding stream
A soft retreat where the wood paths
meet
At the glen OF my sweethearts dream!
A nice little nook and favorite book,
A couch on the grass. and nap
And there's my castle all finished, folks,
And my seat in luXury's lap!

eco West, Young Man"
Authorship OF the Advice Made Fa-
mons by Horace Greeley.

To rrHp New York HERALD: The fol-
LOVING paragraph appeared on your edi-
tori,l poge on Monday:
Miss Daisy pc Witt OF san Francisco
laid flowers on Horace Greciey's statue
In Greeley Square yesterday out OF Srati-
tt,ae for his advice, Go West which
sent her grandfather TO the Golden Gate.
II Il an unusual tribute; rncst folk5 when
they act on good advice promptly forget
its author.
l would like to make an explanation
here. In 1872 Horace Greeley ran for
President against General Grant. Every
thins he had said was quoted by the
papers and these words were among
other things. One day young man
had applied to him for work. Mr..
Greeley had replied. MY young friend.
don't know where you can get work
tust now. But. young man. go West
and grow up with the country"
All the papers for years after that
rcpeatedly quoted the phrase. 1t was
good advice then. II is good advice to-
day. JOHN henry SMiIH.

An Honorable Horseman.

The career OF ANDREW JACKSON
JoYNER, who saddled his thousandth
winner in Messines at the Jamaica
racetrack on Monday. is worthy OF
study on the part OF every man who
has TO do with the care and training
of racehorses.
IL was in the early sos that JOY
NER came from the Carolinas to the
Northern racetracks. At Sheepshead
Bay, the beautiful home OF the Coney
Island Jockey Club. in 1884 the
youthful Southerner got the opening
which comes TO every man who shows
consideration for others, especially
those who are his elders. Colonel
FRANK HALL OF Maryland, a sports
man OF the old school who was rae
Ing a stable OF horses in partnership
with r. y. DAVIS Of Virginia, had
saddled the geldlng Roslere too
loosely. The animal lost the race
through the saddle slipping.
Young JoYNER was a bystander the
next time Rosiere was being pre-
pared for a race and he asked Colonel
HALL IL he might not tighten the
girths SO that there should not be
second mistake. Permission was
forthcoming, and when Rosiere won
JoYNER was offered job with tho
stable. His success with War Eagle
Bess, Patrocles and other horses
owned by DAVIS and HALL led TO big.
ger things, and no American trainer
has a better record or is held IN
higher esteem than Jorrys. When

An Indictment of Jazz.

Jazz being undeniably an industry
as well as IN uproar, Or. FRANK Il.
MORTON, chairman of the industries
committee of the Chicago Music
Trade Convention, is presumably
qualified TO speak on the subject of
this form of peace disturbance.
He is against 1t. He says 1t ex-
presses hysteria and promotes idle
ness. AS to the Mysteries, that per-
haps may be granted. But jazz
promoter of idleness? Never yio-
lence is not idleness, and jazz incites
to violence as well Of language as of
action. Jazz is violence 1t Is tonal
Donnybrook. 1t is the concentrated
essence of all the treasons, spoils and
stratagems which lurk in musicless
souls. 1t Is the expression In noise
Of that explosiveness without Which
once upon time no real piano ar
lists head was even presumably
normal.
Or. MORTON in his indictment Of
jazz confutes his own idleness pro-
motion charge He says jazz incites
10 revelry and dissipation. Tt does,
but II the things people do when they
plunge into dissipation are idleness,
cyclone Is stagnant calm.
The Doctor Is on far firmer ground
when he says Jazz induces dlscord
and chaos. Here he Is near the fact,
but jazz does not merely induce, 1t
is discord and chaos.
Jazz is not new in It's field. It Is
only the old, old ghost dance, voodoo,
run amuck stimulus to slaughter and
arson dear to the primitive heart.
As Or. MORTON himself says. Jazz Is
compounded from the same formula
as the voodoo chants. the incanta-
tions OF crazed fanatics.
But jazz is only a transient afilic-
tion. We shall soon be over 1t. The
convalescent stage, If not in sight,
surely Is not remote. The "Marseil-
laise," which stirs men to ennobling
action, the "Home, Sweet Home"
which breathes peace on earth and
good will toward men, are not to be
forever submerged under the bedlam.
