His maiutrer, Mr, Shaffer, when
spoken to about Saucer's determination

"Wha't prompted Sanger's action?"
"The InvestiBati.m now going on and
onndiK'ted by Uldeon and others would
doubtless have resulted in Sanger's sus
pension, which, would bar him from
ami'tuer and professional racing for
thirty days, pending- a settlement. This
would prevent him from participating
In numerous profitable races and rather
than forego them he decided to with
draw." "How about the future?"
"The future Is bright with promises.
(Manager Carbon, of Manhattan Beach,
has offered $15,000 In prizes for a race
meet there provided Sanger can be en

Justly say that It Is the fault of the
board of trade or ll members? The
chief officers aind stockholders of the
Forest City Car company belong to the
board of trade and, did they all attend
the meetings, would comprise a quorum
for doing business alone. Doesn't the
correspondent reflect on them also when
he says the board is "too slow?" Now,
we will suggest to the Republican man
that lie Join the "organization" and
teach it how to compel people to fulfil
their pledges when they are Indisposed
to do so. He will be received with out
stretched arms and a sigh of relief If
he will use only a little of his surplus
knowledge and time In teaching the
board how to go "fat." The 'members
are yearning for Instruction and realize
that he Is the only person that ca.n give
It to them, and In the Interest of prog
ress we beg of him to yank forth the
nectwsary recipe for fast and effective
work. If he doesn't choose to do that,
we would advise him to stop making a
Don Quixote of himself.

Marjorle'a baby step-slsler, lying In
the middle of the bed among lots of
toys and pillows, became restless. She
had lost her treasured bottle.
"Find Gladys' bottle, Murjorie, and
give it to her," said the mother, as she
pushed down Btuli'S with a morning
caller.
They were still chatting at the front
door when Murjorie camu down toward
them.
'Did you And the bottle, sweetheart?"
asked her mother.
"No; couldn't seem to And It. Baby's
all right. I pulled off her stockings and
showed her how to suck her toes for
dinner; then I told her If the company
didn't stay forever, you'd come and find
the bottle. I guest her toes'll lust quite
a while."
The front door closed hastily.
MEANEST MAN ALIVE.
II l.lvcs In Washington and This Is
What He Once Did There
From the Washington Post.
Brown has the reputation of being one
of the moBt miserly of men. but he
plumes himself on his Inexorable sense
of Justice. For 'fifteen years he owed a
dentist $22 for filling a front tooth with
gold, refusing to pay It because he snld
the bill was exorbitant. The other day
the filling came out. He took the gold
to a Jewelry store and had It assessed
Then lie wrote to the dentist and In
closed a check for his account, based on
the following computation: "Aetna
value of the gold, $:i.G0; amount of lu
bur (which I deem llberul), 5; for use
of the tooth fifteen years, $5; total
J 13.60. I return gold on account and In
close check for the balance of $10.'"' -This
Is thought to stand as an ex
ample of unparalleled meanness.
