Russian Grand Duke.
"Who was our friend when the
world was our foe?"-ingratiating
lines by the poet Holmes-won q
warm welcome for Grand Duke
Alexis of Russia, the guest of this
country in the winter of 1871 and
1872. This rhetorical question re-
ferred to the episode in the early
days of the Civil War when the
Russian fleet anchored in New York
harbor as an act of friendliness that
oheckmated the political moves of
France and discouraged certain fac
tions in Great Britain. Alexis was
just come of age-son of Car Alex
ander II and uncle of the late and
last Gar, Nicholas II. Alexis re-
ceived an enthusiastic greeting at
many places throughout the United
States.
In Philadelphia he was directed
to set off a special fire alarm so
that it might be demonstrated how
promptly the firemen could respond
to the call. The Good Will' Com
pany, whose station was near the
place where the alarm was sounded,
was expected and itself expected to
come in first. But some half dozen
rival companies made secret ar
rangements for hiding places close
by. The result was that all six
companies made q record run Of
less than 2 minutes in response to
the alarm.

THE HORSE RACE

THE HORSE RACE
On last Saturday afternoon
Down town in Hillman's store;
Had gathered men of Pocomoke
Horse-race fans galore:
The radio was on full blast
Announcer's voice was clear
And from Miami's race track
His voice we could hear.
"War Admiral will not run in
The great race of to-day;
Stagehand is the favorite"
We could hear the speaker say:
1.-THE odds are in his favor
For fifty thousand purse
Every body is betting and
Yes, they could do worse.
A man named Lednum, listened IN
To everything was said;
And was convinced that Stagehand
Was the horse to come ahead:
As many others thought of course
With War Admiral out;
The race was won already
BY Stagehand, no doubt.
He'd beat these horses once
About two weeks ago;
There's no way to stop him,
The bettors ought to know:
I'D like to have bet on him"
Said Lednum in his chair;
1--WE got five, he'll beat the field
That ought to be right fair.
For awhile it seemed as tho
No one would take his bet;
The announcer was still talking
Stagehand a winner yet:
Folks were pushing dollars down
Instead of bringing out
Good money against winner
mot I" we heard 'em shout.
But a certain Pittman Carey
Heard all was going on;
And knew of course, exactly
How far the odds had gone:
Took five dollars from his purse
And went up to r. /.
Said: "Tll take that bet, sir"
His throat was very dry.
"I1l go home and get the race
Said Lednum to the boys;
az can't stand excitement
And despise this noise:
want to sit in my own chair
Beside my radio;
Get the finals on this race,
Come on, Ralph, let's CO."
The race was on-soon was Ger
And among the also-ran
Was that Maxwell Towards horse
Yessir, mean Stagehand:
All over this great nation
Folks bet on that great boss
And now need an adding machine
To tally up the loss.
Carey now goes to the movies
And eats in SWEETEST places;
Because he saved his money, see
By staying home from the races:
"I'm not betting man." says he
And slot machines don't pay
But when a man pokes five at me
nj take it any day."
