big bracks in the state. Out of his

biggest winniing owner of the season
and his winnings came for the most
part from his wonderful colt's efforts.

A respectable looking stranger,
wrapped in a clerical atmosphere, jus
tified his state of inebriety at a New
York police station, by declaring that
in First Timothy, fifth chapter and
twenty-third verse, the advice was
given "to use a littlo wine for thy
stomach's sake." The man brought
forth a 'Bible from his inside pocket,
and attempted to prove by it that the
police had outraged him in the pur
suit of his happiness. The police
captain scratched his head, and final
ly beat the prisoner at his own form
of argument; "You muy be all right

policeman was right; whereupon the
latter declared to the disturber of the

place for you." Ho suited his action
to his words, and the man with, the
