This operation might be repeated. until a time wOuld came when a raid would be made upon t e bookmakers ("layers of odds" the are now called). With the wage s properly made, the heavy boots would be removed and the thoroughbred would run away from horses that haa previously defeated him with e:se. This came to be looked upon as a clumsy method, fraught with unneees- sary danger. Then a scheme was met- aled for using soft metal between t e hoof and the shoe.

This method of drenching is still sometimee reso tad to, although it is now looked upon as crude. At one time the Jockey Club ruled against it, and punished all 9!-. fenders vigorously. Now it is regard - more leniently, and some owners "drench" their horses without any at- tempt to keep their methods secret. ills Own Irnvorite.

In defence of this practise the argument is advanced that the thoroughbred hes been saved unneces- sary pain. The crime lies in tee act of running a horse that is physically unlit to coMpete.

There is much of the slave and the tyrant hidden in the nature of woman. Thus woman is not yet capable of friendship, but only of love. In the love of woman is injustice and blindness to all that she does not love. There are two things a true man likes—danger and play. He likes woman because she is the most danger- ous of playthings. A man shoal(' be reared for the vo- cation of a warrior; a woman for the recreation of the warrior. AB else is • rubbish. A woman's principle of honor is to love more than she is loved, so as not to be second. In any game where love or hate is not at stake women play a mediocre part. All women behind their personal vanity cherish an impersonal contempt for woman. • As a rule, a mother, loves herself in her son more than the son loves him- self. The chief danger that besets artists of genius lies in woman. The worship- ing woman is their ruin. Hardly one has character enough to resist his ruin when he finds himself treated like a god. Man is a coward in face of the ewer, weibliche, and no one knows it better than the small woraan. Women indulge in literature as they commit a little sin, glancing round to see if any one is looking—ie. to at- e -set attention. --Henry Nietjsche, ir .8`; earl piny. soo r 1 Ee 410 As oc.e I Winslow's 'a -0d for over tiPty ror thci- chilch('n ,,v11 i fppo1,,,ugei 4eilrfvebei Itsote4 tho gl., ,titt:A al aiu, cre, rolrt nl 4, besi renlety or I 0 GheI.4e.
