Until the. Derby at Epsom. Downs on June 4th last he was undisputed king of the field. And—he. won the Derby. At the tape he was a full head before Aboyeur, running second. Yet the noble animal was disquali- fied, through no'fault of; his own. The. blue ribbon was awarded to Aboyeur, after all. As Rapier, a London sporting au- thority, put it: "This. was a.` quaint Sortofcolt to win the Derby,. to beat "Craganour:" Nobody had given a sec- ond thought about Aboyeur before the that it ,seemed it w m bad finish Reiff caught him and a sigh of my came . to the conclusion that relief ran around the 'course when Craganour' s' number was hoisted. there was no relief for mei and that But it didn't stay up long; And I was about wound up, when I saw then the tragedy was staged—the 100- a Postum advertisement.

Wonderful Stamina, and this had 'r• uch to do with the record price fetched for him. When Aboyeur started off for such a take- you-off-your-feet ake-you-offyour-feet race, it was only the heart and speed of such a colt as Craganour that could hold A. P. Curt liffe's entry ,and beat' hian almost at the last gasp. Bred in. Ireland by: Major Eustace Loder, he was sold as a foal to the late Sir Tatton Sykes. Craganour was then six months old. ' He went at once to the Sledmer•e stud with, his hand- some mother, Veneration IL, and. started to train. "I ought never • have allowed such a fine animal to, get, out of my posses- sion," bemoaned Major Loder, .a yebx later, when Craganour folly grown, began his extraordinary winning car- eer. When the annual horse sale was held , at Doncaster, Craganour was shipped along, .He was easily the best of even such a collection of yearlings as Slednnere always sends lip.• "Get Craganour by ail means," ad- vised W., T. Robinson, one of the besl• judges of horseflesh in all England, and Mr, Isinay, his employer, snapped up the tine colt for $10,000. Robinson soon found that in Crag, anour he had a and for Mr. Ismay, At the Ascot meet last year the Eng- lish public first saw the eolt's paces.. Itis •maiden race was' for the New Stakes, and Craganour easily beat the great Shotgun by three lengths. But this was only a beginning. :The rest of the season proved i triumph for Craganour: He won every race in which' he started save one, and he lost that dilly on a fluke. "Best three-year-old in all England," was the opinion of nine -tenths of the fancy this year. Craganourstarted too soon, how- ever, and lost the classic Two Thou- sand Guineas, in which he: started fav- orite, to Louvois; His .owner and trainer knew what was the matter and put a new jockey on his back for the great Newmarket stakes. The result was magical— Craganour Was First; the rest nowhere. . That resourceful young jockey, Danny Maher, knew how to ride his mount. Experts saw- then what a great horse Mr, ismay's three.year=old really was -and is, Not such a. big colt, for his size Craganour shows exceptional depth and remarkable action; Hard or soft ground seem to make no dif- ference to ; him; he can keep his ex- traordinary speed on anything. Craganour's pedigree is as good as there is in , all England. His great sire, was"•Desmond-biggest` winning sire -so far this season, and 'sire, too, of Aboyeur, to whom the ,Derby fell, after all, Desmond died only a few days ago In his prime. So the two fleet -footed beauties are half-brothers.. Desmond was the. Irish bred son of the great Saint Simon. Craganour's dam, Veneration IL; has just as great a sire in Laveno, and Argentine is per- fectly certain that it is not buying a pig in a poke for its ;$150,000. Never before but once has such a price been paid for a horse—or any other animal. ''Years ago W. O'B. Mac- Donough of California gave $150,000 for the great Ormonde, winner of the Derby in 1896, a horse that wasfirst in every race in which he started. But Ormonde hasbeen dead these nine years and Craganour's present worth. stands unchallenged. s• DISTRESS IN GERMANY. Unemployed Army Larger Than in Twenty -)Eve Years. The killing of a workman. by his landlord in , a quarrel during the tenant's forcible ejection for not having paid his rent, has called at- tention to She unprecedented prev- alence of unemployment in Ger- many in. general. and, Berlin in par- ticular. -It was generally conceded that . Germany is confronted with the serious problem of sheltering and feedingthe largest army of un- employed in the last ' twenty-five years, The Government, State, municipal and communal ° author - ties are; looking to the winter with the greatest dread. Workmen are. usually able in the summer time to prepare to some extent for the idle days of the winter, but this summer many thousandsof thexa were un- able to get a day's employment, The political unrest at the begin- ning of the Balkan war, together with the financial stringency, brought a crisis in the industrial woxld that affected . almost every branch of business. All employers began to retrench, dropping as many employes as possible,. There has been hardly a stroke of work in the building trades of Berlin, where usually many thousands are em- ployed: The department stores and shops have discharged from 25 to 40 per cent. of their ,employes. Although the summer is not over the treasuries of charitable and la- bor organizations which are usually able to•accumulate some funds dur- ing that season, havebeen so drawn, upon that they are practically emp- ty. Berlin alone has beenepending $200,000 a month throughout the summer for the relief of the poor, andbreadlines are already appear- ing in front of the meat markets and bakeries. . To Err is Truman.

Sailors wear trousers that . are voluminously baggy around the an- kles solely because they are the most conservative of men. Such trousers are no longer of more ser- vice than ordinary trousers would be, but there was a tine when they were the ideal. garment for sailors' use. They had their origin in the du- ties that men on sailing vessels used to h ave to perform. These neces- sitated or made advisable the roll- ing of the trouser above the knee, and it was far easierand more com- fortable to roll up a. baggy trouser leg than it would have been to roll up a, tight one. One thing sailors used ;often to have to. do was to wade ashore through the water. For this, of course, they rolled up their' trousers. , Again, they used to be kept busy, hoIy-stoning decks. r. this theyhad' to get down on hands . and knees. As the decks were wet it was necessary to roll the trousers to above the: knees in order to keep them dry. But there is no longer any such need. . A. Leak Indicator. An automatic leak indicator for ships consists of anumber of small east -iron boxes screwed to the' bulk- head of each compartment and set at predetermined distances, one above another. In each box there is an electrical contrivance con- nected with an indicator -board either on the bridge or in some other convenient place. The board is fitted with a number of sm•a11 glow -lamps of different colors, and is connected with an alarm -bell. When the water rises to the level of the lowest box, it makes an electri- cal contact by which the lamp 'cor- responding to the height in the. bulkhead that the box indicates is lighted, and so remains until the next box is reached by the water, when the second lamp is lighted. Meanwhile, the bell rings continu- ously until switched off. The Pace. "Money went a whole lot further in the old days than it does now," said the Old Fogey: "That's because it didn't _ go so fast," explained the Wise Guy. Never attempt to borrow trouble if you do, people will insist upon presenting it to you. If, we could look into the future we would probably find it just as unsatisfactory.
