SECOND STRAIGHT
FOR HEART BREAK
Mare Winner by Nose Over
Hueu in Sprint Feature
at Fair Grounds.

BY the Associated Press.
"a YEW ORLEANS. March al
M Heart Break, the consistent
VI daughter of Norwich from
4 r. A. Coward's Stable, came
through with her second straight VIC
tory today in winning the 6-furlong
feature OF the Fair Grounds.
AS in her previous victory, the g.
year-old mare came from of the pace
to register by a nose over Clyde
Troutt's Hueu. Butsy Hernandez's
Lolschen was third in the field Of nine
sprinters.
Heart Break turned in one of her
best efforts as she sprinted over the
three-quarters in 1:l125, only a fifth
of second slower than the track rec
ord, to pay 1920.
Yule Star and Jokester alternated
at setting the early pace, but at the
head of the stretch, the Coward mare
had moved up to second place. In the
run for the judges she outgamed the
fast-closing Hueu.
The victory marked the eighth win
and the thirteenth time in the money
this year for Heart Break.

Heroism of the Highest.

Time was when only great mobiles and
belted knights were expected to be brave.
But that was long ago. Gradually the
age of chivalry has been replaced by an
era In which the common people are
capable of heroism of the highest. The
story of the Moose River gold mine
prisoners and their rescuers illustrates
the point. Not since the World War
has their been any incident more deeply
or truly significant of courageous de.
mocracy. To the bystanding philoso-
pher its lesson is supremely important.
1t proves the elemental worth of plain
men and women.
But such events are not rare. Indeed,
each single days quota of news contains
numbers of examples of the essential
hardihood, fortitude and daring of the
human race. Thousands of individuals
find themselves trapped very much as
DR.. D. E. Robertson and Fred Scadding
were. Circumstance closes in upon them,
prisons them, threatens them with death.
And some, like Herman Magill, perforce
are lost-fate strikes them down before
their fellows can bring them help. For
the majority, however, survival is the
rule. Otherwise the species would perish
utterly under the weight of incessant
trouble.
Providentially, however, the human
spirit is equal to its need. In the Ian
guage of contemporary slang, 1T can
take it," Punishment at the hands of
fate is part of the price of living; men
pay for the privilege of existence in the
coin of suffering. But not with that
alone; there also is the currency of the
curious factor which psychologists call
the social instinct impulse in
each separate soul to assist those who
are distressed. Hence the drama of the
Moose River mine appears as micrs-
cosnnic sample of the experience of
mankind everywhere and through all
time. The plot" was written ages be-
fore an audience could be served by
press, radio and motion pictures; the
characters" were chosen by an Author
who endowed His children with some
thing of His own grandeur; and the
"denouement" is happier than skeptics
suppose. Millions are applauding the
curtain" of last midnight.
And remembrance Of the incident will
linger. Grandparents will tell the chill
dren of tomorrow the tale of how Rob-
ertson and Scadding held the faith, how
the diggers risked everything to save
them and how in the end the prayers
of a multitude that they might succeed
were granted. The legend will be a
durable tie between the two English
speaking nations of North America.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES z. TRACEWELL.

The smallest garden has a great deal
Of life in 1t.
Sometimes we tend to forget that the
calm scene out the window is teeming
with living things.
We even forget, at times, that the
flowers, shrubs and trees are very much
alive!
The very sod Is alive, not only with
thousands Of grass plants, but with
fishin' worms and the like. There may
be cut-worms, alas.
Gardens often have dogs in them, and
cats, too, to say nothing of squirrels and
rabbits, if located in the suburban areas.
There are birds, and perhaps moles.
There are insects too numerous to
mention, there are moths and various
wormlike forms of beetles.
There are fungi in shady places. There
Is a mildew on roses, and scale on
lilac boughs.
There may be rusts on ornamental
apples.
Later in the season will come the
lightning bugs, so-called forms OF beetles.
This latter family contributes many
forms of life to the garden, most OF them
unwanted and dificult to fight.
This year the cicadas, or seventeen
year locusts, are due to appear. Already,
in some yards, small holes, ranging from
a fourth to half an inch in diameter,
have developed. This is this locust" in
immature form. 1t is said that they will
not do much damage, and that nothing
much can be done about them, anyway.
So the gardener is advised not to become
too excited.
If the garden has a pool (and every
garden should have one, If nothing more
than a tub sunk in one corner) there
will be present various forms OF fish,
snails and maybe tadpoles, to say nothing
Of full-grown frogs.
In the garden, too, one finds slugs,
sometimes called snails, things which
leave silvery trail Of mucous behind
them as the result of their nocturnal
cravings. These seem allied with pill
bugs and the like, which are found
under seldom-moved stones.
The above is but a brief review Of
some of the life to be found in the
garden, the yard which has no oc-
cupants at the time, as every one says.
1t has, however, many occupants.
These range from good to indifferent
to inimical.
Every beholder, unfortunately, has his
own likes and dislikes. so that he will
run the risk of placing in the bad
category creatures which do not by right
belong there.
Consider the man or woman who does
not like cats.
Sometimes this is disease, but we do
not mean that We mean just the average
person who, for some reason or other,
does not like 'em. At least he thinks he
does not like 'em.
Often the bird lover yowls about cats
in his garden, as if there could be no
birds with cats around.
Yet all last Winter we had hundreds of
birds in the garden, at the same time
two house cats sat on the back porch
most of the time and had the free use
Of the yard at all times.
One of these cats, a mighty warrior,
paid no attention whatsoever to the
birds at the feeding stations.
The birds, in their turn, utterly ignored
the cats.
The other chronic kick against the
domestic cat is that it digs up flower
beds. The amount Of damage that they
will do in this respect is negligible.

Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Illusion.

Illusion.
Unrest awaits us everywhere;
Howe'er our course Is set,
You think elsewhere the sun and air
Are always better yet.
On mountain top or by the sea,
! BY woodland or the beach,
You think that "Somewhere-else" must
be
The spot you long to reach.
And still you make the old mistake
Wherever you may roam.
You sing about it, yet forsake
The place called Home, Sweet Home"
In vain your fancies are inclined
To wandering quest of cheer,
For, Somewhere else" you'll always find,
Becomes plain plodding Here"
