DON HAMILTONJMAKES 6000
DENISON HORSE SURPRISED THE
TALENT AT 8AN FRANCISCO.
i -
In the Crocker 8elUng Stakes Gelding
Beat Corrigan, Logistilla, Mary
F. and Other Fast Ones.
Last Sunday's San Francisco Call
contained a four-column cut of Don
Hamilton, a three-year-old gelding
from the stable of W. W. Elliott of
tiiis city. The duv orevious Don Ham-
ilton, with Jockey L. Williams In the
saddle, won the Crocker Selling
Stakes, for three-year-olds and up-
ward, at the Emoryvlllo track near
San Francisco, beating such good
ones as Logistilla* Princess Titania,
Corrigan and Mary F. The race was
run over a sloppy track In the fast
time of 1: io 3-5 for a nU'e- The value
ol the purse to the winner was $2,540.
The "dope"'sheet has the following
to say of the race: "Don Hamilton
is a smart youngster, evidently fond
of the soft going. He went right to
the front and made every post a win-
ding one. Williams took no chances,
but went after him a fijrlong from
home."
Don Hamilton has been the victim
of much hard luck during his brief
racing career. He was cut down in
a race us a two-year-old and again at
Dallas last fall had the same mwhap.
In the running of the Crocker Sell-
ing Stakes the talent did not give the
Denison horse a chance to win the
race, the bookmakers laying 8 to 1
against uini at post time.

to come up.

Oklahoma Convention Is Up Against
a Hard Proposition.
Guthrie, I. T., Dec. 15.—An esti-
mated deficiency of $150,000 faces the
constitutional convention. Disbursing
Agent Wilson of the convention said
last-night that the comptroller of the
currency had notified him to contract
no debts beyond the $100,000 appro-
priation in the enabling act for the
convention aud the election incident
thereto. He has already refused to
pay printing bills contracted without
his knowledge. "When tho money
runs out," said he, "I quit paying."
Remember Your Wife.
In a recent divorce case • the hus-
band when asked If he ever made his
wife any Christmas or birthday pres-
ents, replied: i
"No, 1 am sorry to say I never did.
I gave Mrs. —V— power to draW on
my bank account and to buy anything
she wanted. I was mistaken. That
was not all I should have done. That
didn't take the pl^ce of i^iy buying
things and taking them home to her,
It is astonishing how littlje even the
majority of husbands know\about the
feminine naturo. 1 recently heard a
young wife say that she would rather
have her husband bring her a bunch
of violets than give her ten times the
money they. cost. But she said she
could never make him appreciate the
fact, that money was not all that she
needed.
I know men who never think of
taking home a bunch of flowers to
their wives. They either think it la
unnecessary extravagance, or that, if
their wives want flowers, they can get
them themselves. They do not real-
ize that women prize the little courte-
sies, the little attentions and evl
deuces of thoughtfulness, more than
money. It is the Invitation to the lit-
tle outing or vacation, the little trip
to another city, the bringing home of
tickets to the theater or opera, or to
the concert or lecture: It is the hun-
dred and one little things that mako
the average woman happy, and not
merely the fact that her Imperative
wants are supplied In a lump sum.
Most men overlook the fact that It
does not take so much, after all, to
satisfy the average woman. It is
largely a question of the right spirit,
of doing the things which Indicate
thoughtfulness. Jnat giving a wife •
check once in a while, no matter how
large it may be, or telling her to draw
as much as she needs from your bank
account, will not satisfy a womanly
woman. It is yourself she wants with
the money.—Orison S. Marden In Suc-
cess Magazine.
The Best Christmas Gift.
A great many people think that be-
cause they are not able to give Christ-
mas gifts, becausc they cannot give
money or what it will buy, they can
give nothing. How little we realize
that the best thing anybody can give
In this world Is not money, not cloth
lng, fuel, or provisions, but himself.
I know a lady who is very poor. She
has no money to give to the poor at
Christmas. But she goes around for
days before Christmas, visiting every
person sh<< hears of being sick or crip-
pled of unfortunate, everyone who has
any trouble, whether she knows him
or not. And she gives out such a'
wealth of love, of sympathy, of encour-
agement, good cheer, and sunshine,
that these people feel enriched for a
whole year The material things they
receive are cold and unsympathetic in
comparison with what thlrf poor worn
an gives them. On the other hand, I
know a man, wealthy but selfish,
whose conscience begins to trouble
him Just before Christmas, and be
sends out checks, coal, clothing, pro-
visions to tho poor people. Then he
feels a sort'of relief, he has eased his
conscience, which prodded him. But
he rarely, if ever, goea to see these
poor people—never gives them any
thine of himself, his encouragement
or good cheer.
This Is not the spirit of Christmas.
The spirit of Christmas Is the Christ
spirit, the helpful spirit. It Is the giv-
ing of what Christ t;ave. He had no
money to give—He was the poorest of
the poor—but did "vcr any Croesus
have so much to give? Did any mil-
lionaire over radiate so muoh power
and hope to the discouraged, so much
good cheer to the disheartened, or so
much comfort to the sick and the sor-
rowlng?—O. 8. Marden In Success
Magazine.
One 8t. Louis Millionaire Roasts
Other Rich Men.
St. Louis, Mo., ix<c. 15.—Adolphus
Busch, tho multi-millionaire brewer,
says he Is in favor of an income tax
law. Discussiug thai part of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's message relating to
an income tax Mr. Busch said:
"If there were not so mauy stingy
rich men In tho United States, ev-
ery man with a decent income would
be paying his fair proportion of gov-
enment taxes,
"A man with money is so fortunate
that 1 believe he should be respect-
fully Jllberal. 1 have always wonder-
ed why it is that those of us who
have so much of this world's goods
want to get more and more still
and never share our prosperity with
others.
"Now, I don't want to decry men
for accumulating money. That Is
what I Call thrift. We can't have too
tnuch of it in this country. But this
thing of the wealthy man objecting
every time the government wants to
impose that which may affect his in-
come Is silly and short-sighted."
WILL NOT REDUCE SPEED.
Eastern Railroad Officials Say Public
Demands Fast Trains.
New York, Dec. ].">- Notwithstand-

ger trains, high officials of the trunk

It Is snid that Charles Wesley was
sometimes easily annoyed, and on one
occasion at a conference he became so
Irritated at the prolix remarks of a
speaker that lie said to his brother:'
"Stop that man's speaking. Let us
attend to business." ,
But the offender wai relating his re-
ligious experience, and, though It was
it so fixent a length. John Wesley evi-
dently thought that no one had a right
to Interfere with It. He was therefore
allowed to continue, but the moment
came when Charles could contain him-
self no longer.
"Unless he stops." lie whispered to
John, "I'll leave tlie conference.''
By this time John was enjoying the
man's simple story, and he only turned
and whispered to come one sitting
near:
"Reach Charles his bat."

Bangor, Me., who from 1850 to 1900
waa one;of the best known campaign
orators In America, was ever ready
to turn ahy opportunity of this kind
to advantage. A true incident Is told
of him, to appreciate which It Is only
necessary to realize that a Maine leg-
islature is composed chiefly of fann-
ers, and also that it Is customary In
rural districts to plant pumpkins be-
tween the rows of corn as they ^raw
in the field.
In 1860 Mr. Barker was a member
of the Maine senate from Penobscot
County. In the same senate sat tho
Hon. A. O. Ix'Broke of Plseatuquls
County, and between the two lawyers
existed a friendly rivalry. LeBroke
was at one time deeply Interested
in.the passage of a bill which Mr.
Barker opposed, but for reasons of
his own did not care to speak upon.
1^'Broke had prepared a masterful
speech which he delivered, and closed
with the usual impassioned appeal to
the farmer, saying;
"I call on the farmer of Maine for
help In the passage of this bill. And
why should I not appeal to the farm-
er? What man on this floor has a
better right to claim the earnest and
hearty sympathy of that noble body
of men? I may truly say that 1 am
a farmer myself. My earliest recol-
lections are tilling the soil, plowing
the fields, hoeing the potatoes, milk-
ing tho cows, doing the daily chores
and raking the hay. In fact, Mr. Pres-
ident, and fellow senators, I may say
I waa brought hp between two rows
of corn."
As the applause which followed the
close ot LeBroke's remarks died away
a distinctly audible voice was heard
from the seat of the senator from
Penobscot: >,
"A pumpkin, by George."
Ana LeBroke's bill was utterly lost
from that moment.—Boston Herald.

When Carlyle had finished the first
volume of his great work on the French
revolution ho lent the manuscript to
hi* friend John Stuart Mill. Ofle even-
ing soon afterward Mill entered Car-
lyle's door, pale ns Hector's ghost, with
the dismal Information, gasped out In
almost Inarticulate words, that with
the exception of about four or Ave
sheets the manuscript was completely
annihilated. Mill had left It too care-
lessly lying about, and a servant, think-
ing it so much waste paper, had burned
It. Five months of stoadfast, occasion-
ally excessive and painful toil utterly
lost! For three weeks Carlyle could
| do nothing but read Marryat's novels.
; Then one night, sitting talking to his
cook, bo decided It should be written
again and eventually finished "such a
task ns I never tried before or since."

Carlyle was frequently grumpy nnd
habitually melancholy—"but so am I"
