Maybe it was a mere whim or a gambler’s hunch which causéd the grocer, D. A. Woods; to make an investment which most turfmen would “have considered unspeakably foolish. But see what happened. After giving Indian Runner good eare and a few weeks of rest Woods entered him at Lincoln Fields, where he broke the track record in his first race. Since then he has virtually monopolized the handicap stakes in the West. ‘On the 4th of July he won for the second consecutive year the Stars and Stripes handicap at Arlington Park, where he has also won the Inaugural handicap the last two years. His total winnings to date have been $45,000, not a bad return on a $3,006 imvestment. And he isn’t \ finished yet. t All of which goes to confirm the old } saying that you can’t tell by merely look- ing how far a frog can jump or how fast a horse can run, THOUGHT The prisoner “does time” by staying in one place. . The autoist “makes time” by moving out of one place as fast as he can. Aill the dippy things aren’t in the asylums, Hitler has something in common, with Robespierre, who during the French Reign of Terrer had his friend, the mighty Dan-| ton, guillotined. The “Fuehrer,” too, shot his friead, Roehm, the only man who could address-him with the familiar German “du.” When the anti-capital punishment folk try"te sway us with sympathy, we need only remind them of the sorrow caused in families with.a murdered member of the poverty: it sometimes enforces and the lives that are ruined. Shall we sympathize with the criminal or the more worthy sor-}' rowing Family? * ‘Phe times are what you think they are, Good, bad, or otherwise; Your mind may grovel in the mire, Or soar to sunny skies. —Grenville Kleiser. A modern novelist’s favorite hero is) the boy) who rises to wealth through honesty, obedienee and hard work. There | has been @ question of throwing out his work ag literature, because the hero is not modern-enough. If the modern successful man has not risen through these qualities, it is an awful indictment against him. France says her attitade on the war debts is sound.

At a@ meeting held yesterday of the ex-officio: officers of the San Carlos International Celebration committee it was decided to award premiums*in the vote selling con- test in connection with the cele- bration.

The prizes will be, respectively, a pi- ano, parlor set and sewing “ma ‘chine. Eight other young ladies receiving the next highest number ‘of votes will.be ladies of the court. Community interest is centered in the news that the three-way committee composed of Lincoln Spencer, of the Rotary Club; Bas-! com L. Grooms, chamber of com- meree, and B, A.

The U. S. S. Rochester, flagship ef the special service squadron, arrived in port yesterday after- noon with Admiral Dayton on board. The vessel comes from Havana and will remain at the naval station until July 15, aceord- ing to present plans. Tomorrow the ship will be put in readiness to receive visitors. * Boats will leave the station hourly to take visitors to and from. the vessel. The same privilege will be given Monday and the boats will main- tain a regular schedule from the Hdocks to. the ship. His Excellency Antonio Goicoe- chea, ex-minister of the imterior jof Spain, will artive in Key West this. @fternoon from Havana en route to Washingtow.
