"A little over a ur years ago, said
Smithson. "I maue up my mind that I
was smoking too much. It didn't seem to
affect my health in the least, but I
thought It was a foolish waste o money,
and I decided to give it up."
"A very sensible idea. Indeed," remark
ed Brownlow.
"So I thought at the time. I fierured out,
as closely as I could, how much I had
been spending each day for cigars and
tobacco. That sum I set aside each day,
and started a. banking1" account with it. I
wanted to be able to show exactly how
mooh I had saved by not smoking."
"And how did it work?" inquired Brown
low. "At the ned of twelve months I found
that I had 55 in the bank."
"Good! Could you land me"
"And a few days later," interrupted
Smithson, "last Thursday in, fact, the

SP0RTINGJ1EWS.
Garry Hermann, the Fast Two-Year-Oid
Chicago Colt,
Won More Races This Year
Than Any Other of HU Age.
WAS SICK SIX WEEKS.
Off of the Track During Height
of Racing Season.
Grandest Looking Animal In
America Today.
Chicago, Dec 25. There is owned In
Chicago a thoroughbred colt, Garry
Hermann by name, that Norsemen con
sider to be in several respects the most
notable horse of hia age In the world.
There are two remarkable facta about
Garry Hermann, as follows:
First He won more races this year
eighteen than were ever captured by
a 2-year-old in this country, and what
makes this fact so remarkable as to
stamp him as a colt beyond ordinary in
this particular is the fact that this un
precedented roster of victories was made
in spite of a sickness which for a week
threatened the colt's life and kept him
from coming to the post for six weeks
from the middle of August to the first
of October in the height of the racing
season.
Second He is the grandest looking
and best developed colt of his age that
a man ever laid yes on. This is the
verdict of every horseman trotting
horse people as well as those who are
devoted to the thoroughbred that has
seen him at Louisville during the last
month.
Garry Hermann was bred Jn Ken
tucky by Kinzea Stone, who is also an
admirer of harness horses, having had
the pacer The Admiral, 2:07, out last
eeason. Hermann's sire is the import
ed Knglish. stallion Esher, a son of
Ciaremont (second to Galopin in the
Derby of 1S75), while his grandsire and
great grandsire were the famous race
horses Blair Athol and Stockwell, Whose
achievements on the British turf In
clude the Derby, Two Thousand
Guineas, and the St. Leger, each of
them having won the last named event.
A pedigree expert said, having exam
ined the blood lines of Garry Hermann:
"This pedigree, like that of Iroquois, is
one of the anomalies of modern breed
ing, as it contains 53 per cent, of the
blood of Herod. Similar curios in the
breeding line are to be found in the
pedigrees of the imported horses Sir
Modred and Corwith, each of which has
BS per cent, of the blood of Eclipse,
though bred from the male line of
Herod. The really fine feature of this
pedigree Is that it contains not only
four crosses of Sir Hercules, the beBt
son of Whalebone, but that it also has
four crosses of Ureb, own sister .to
Whalebone."
What Garry Hermann did this year as
a 2-year-old shows that the pedigree
must be full of stout blood. He began
his campaign in April south of the Ohio
river. Then he came to Roby and at
tracted attention by the ease with which
he won. At Hawthorne Charles Head
Smith, the board of trade man who likes
racing, bought the colt for $10,000.
From Hawthorne Hermann went to
Harlem, Washington Park, Saratoga,
and Westchester. In this campaign he
started twenty-five times, won eigh
teen of his races, was second five
times,, third once, and once unplaced.
He missed the Brooklyn and Sheepshead
Bay meetings by reason of Jhe sick
ness which kept him from the post for
six weeks, and yet in spite of this han
dicap of time lost, which no amount of
speed or stamina could overcome, he
won more races than any other colt of
his age has ever been credited with.
Garry Hermann is in the Louisville
and Latonia derbies, and he will of
course be extensively engaged in
stakes that close during the winter.
These engagements will include the
Ierby and some other stakes at Wash
ington Park to which he is eligible.
IMP WILL BE RACED.
Black Marvel of Five Seasons Not to
Be Retired, as Rumored.
New York. Dec. 25. The announce
ment, widely published, that the great
old race mare Imp has been permanent
ly retired from the race track is pre
mature. The black heroine of five sea
sons of racing is now at the farm of the
man who bred her, D. R. Haness, at
ChJllicothe, O., in winter quarters, jaded
by a long and hard campaign, but souni
as the proverbial bell of brass and with
evevy prospect of standing training for
one or more seasons.
In her five years of racin she has
started 154 times and won first money i
58 races, her victories averaging some
thing better than one in three, while she
has failed to earn some part of the mon
ey i;i only 38 races. Her total purse win
nings in these five years have been $82,
254.50. Among the "iron horse's" of the
past. Bankrupt in 14 years ran 344 races
and won 50. Logan ran 385 times in nine
seasons and won S9. Charade, a good
horse, ran 141 races and won 30. Geral
dine, famous in her time, rain in 119
races and was 43 times first. These quite
frequently met the very commonest
horses in training on small and obscure
tracks. Imp, on th other hand, has al
ways aimed high. Whenever she raced,
she met the best company there, and for
three seasons her racing has been on the
best track3 in the country.
MANNING IS SECURE.
Washington Pans Have Taken a
Fancy to the New Manager.
Washington, Dec. 25. For better or
worse Jimmy Manning has cast his
baseball lot in Washington and has
made a bold bid for public favor. Per
sonally Manning has made a big hit
at the capital. The baseball populace
have taken lam at his word to furnish
first class sport, and no matter what
the intrigue of other organizations Man
ning holds the top hand. A man never
made a host of friends quicker in a city
strange to him.
Manning has splendid park grounds
under option and will buy a certain site
If a price can be agreed upon. Either
location is within fifteen minutes" ride
from any part of the city. Mr. and Mrs.
Manning had as guests last evening
Mr. and Mrs. Clough, the latter Anson's
daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Manning have
gone to Kansas City for the holidays.
COMISKEY SIGNS PLATERS.
Bill Lange Vouches For Ability of
New White Stockings.
San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 25. Two of
the best men of the San Francisco team
of the California Baseball league will
wear the uniforms of oCmiskey's Chi
cago club next season. Henry Krug,
the heavy hitting short stop, and Hilde
br&nd, the outfielder, have signed con
tracts to play with the Chicago team.
Before making this deal Comiskey wrote
to Bill Lange and asked his opinion of
the men. Lange replied that he had
seen them play and felt sure they could
hold their own in the eastern league.
Lange said today: "I saw both men
play a great deal this year and feel sure
they will catch on. They are young, but
both hit well and are good fielders. Hil
debrand is fast and will make a good
base runner."

Yost, Kennedy and Outland Are Being
Considered For 1901.
Lawrence, Dec. ' 25. The question at
Kansas university now is who will
coach the football team next year.
It will not be Boynton. That was a
certainty long before the end of the sea
son. He was a decided failure from the
start and there were no Jayhawk tears
shed when he took his departure. A
couple of weeks ago Johnny Outland
was in favor and seemed to have a clear
running, but during the past week
Coach Tost's name has been up for con
sideration and it is understood that it Is
simply a matter of whether Kansas will
pay his price. If his terms are accepted
then the Jayhawkers will be developed
next year under the famous '99 coach.
Bert Kennedy has many followers and
is well liked. His name wiil be duly
considered by the athletic board be
fore a decision is reached. Yost is the
popular favorite among the student
body and his engagement would be well
received.
With Tucker back K. XT. expects' to
have a good team next fall, but of late
there have been rumors afloat that
Tuck may coach next year and others
say that if he does attend the university
he will not play football.
Pitcher Griffith Signs.
Chicago, Dec. 25. Clark Griffith, star
twirler of the Chicago ball club, has
signed a contract for life. The contract
to which "Grif" attached his signature
was embossed with love knots, cupids
and hands entwined. The party of the
second part is now Mrs Griffith, and
the certificate testifies that Griffith has
become a benedict.
Declines Match With Schaefer.
London, Dec. 25. Jake Schaefer, who
Is playing billiard matches nightly for
the betting crowds at the Olympia
Queen, has again challenged Vignaux,
who has again declined. Vignaux says
he is growing old and lazy, and prefers
comfortable peace to the strain of pub
lic matches.
HER MERRY CHRISTMAS
Miss Morrison Secures Bond and
Leaves 1 Dorado Jail.
El Dorado, Kas., Dec. 25. Miss Jessie
Morrison's release from prison last
night was one of the most acceptable
Christmas presents received by anybody
in this city. The bond for $5,000 was
filed late last evening by Attorney V.
P. Mooney. Sheriff Turner took the
bond to County Attorney Brumback,
who approved it. Shortly after 7 o'clock
Deputy Sheriff Young released the pris
oner. She smiled, thanked him and accom
panied her father and two brothers to
the home, where she received a cordial
welcome from her stepmother and other
members of the family. To a reporter
who called at the Morrison home Miss
Morrison said that she was glad to
breathe the air of freedom once more,
and sit around the home fireside, sur
rounded by her relatives. She spoke
very highly of the treatment received
while in prison, also of the many letters
and flowers received. She still refused
to say one word about the ease.
"Jessie will go to her old home in
Braxton county. West Virginia," Judge
Morrison said, "to visit for awhile. We
are not prepared to say just when she
will leave, but I think she will eat
Christmas dinner at home and leave
tomorrow."
The bondsmen qualified for $84,000.
They are all well-to-do men and worth
$250,000. They are: J. W. Kibbev, sr.,
B. H. Cornelius, J. R. Crowley, J. W.
Kibbe, jr., stock men; Warren Brown,
banker; J. W, Skaer and H. Moyle, mer
chants, all of Augusta; C L. Shindler,
farmer, Logan township; C. W. Little
and A. F. Cook, farmers, Clay township;
J. M. Brewer and C B. Lavender, Vic

The Big Lake In Barton County
a Reality at Last.
Water Has Been Turned In
From the Arkansas Kiter.
LAND OWNERS RESIST.
Fifty-five Appeals Taken From
Appraisers' Awards.
Basin Eight Miles Long, Three
Wide and 17 Feet Deep.
Great Bend, Dec. 25. The big artificial
lake in Barton county between this town
and Hoisington is a reality at last. The
water was turned on last Thursday, and
the big basin ia now filling up. A Kan
sas City syndicate headed by A. E. Stil
well took charge of the enterprise sev
eral months ago and decided to push it
The lands in the basin were condemned
and a big bond Was put up With the
court to indemnify land owners not sat
isfied with the awards of the appraisers.
So far, 55 appeals have been taken from
the awards to the district court. These
cases will come up at the next term of
court, but their disposition wiil interfere
in no way with the carrying out of the
project because the bond will more then
cover the damages awarded. The dis
trict clerk of that county tried to block
ade the scheme by refusing to take the
indemnifying bond, but he was man
damused and forced to accept it.
The Arkansas river is full of water
now and when employes of the company
opened the floodgate to the ditch, water
started through with a rush. There were
a number of bayous between the river
and th3 basin, and they had to be filled
first, but that didn't take long, and now
water is running into the basin. A boaid
of appraisers is now at work condemn
ing the land in the second level. This is
known as the 17-foot level. In order to
cover it, the water must be 17 feet deep
in the middle of the lake." The apprais
ers will have their work done on the
second level before the first level is lin
ed. The basin Is eight miles long and three
miles wide, and when filled will be the
largest body of water in Kansas It will
be used to feed three big irrigation
ditches and also for a summer resort.
GRAHAM COUNTY WATER.
Dave Banna Denies the Story That
Wells Are Two Miles Beep.
Hill City, Kas., Dec. 25. A good story
is told on Dave Hanna, of this place,
in connection with his real estate busi
ness. He has been a bard worker for
Graham county and Hill City during
his thirteen years residence, and while
he finds considerable time to mingle
with the boys in politics, he never lets
an opportunity roll by when he can
sell a farm.
He was away from home, over in
Missouri, talking for Graham county
lands, having heard of some families in
the town he was visiting who had their
minds firmly set on Graham county.
He sat down in a real estate office
in the Missouri -town and told about
the good qualities of Graham county
lands for some time to several who
were present, when one of them spoke
out: "Say, stranger," referring to Mr.
Hanna, "I was going through Graham
county several years ago when I met
another man hauiihg a load of barrels
in his wagon. I hailed him and asked
him what he had in his barrels. The
answer came back promptly, 'Haul
ing water for my family and stock.'
Asked as to how far he had to haul
water, he said about two miles. 'Why
don't you dig a well?' retorted the in
quisitor, when the fellow who was
hauling the water, with emphasis and
a fierce look, said: 'It is nearer to water
this way in Graham county than to dig
a well.' "
Mr. Hanna was completely taken
back for a moment, but putting on a
bold front he denied the charge, and
invited them to go with him to his
county and see for themselves.
Since then he has succeeded in get
ting several Missouri families located
on Graham county lands, and they are
contented and happy and making
money.
HUNTING THE COYOTE.
Western Kansas Farmers Making
About $3 Per Day.
Dodge City, Kas., Dec. 25.-Toyo8
hunting is becoming a profitable in
dustry in some of the southern coun
ties and quite a number of the farm
ers are taking a part in this sport
Some catch these animals with traps or
poison, they being coaxed to these by
the smell of old meat or a crowing
rooster in a cage, and some run them
down on horseback and rope them from
the saMdle.
One boy was known to take a piece of
old meat, drag it in a circle of about
a half a mile and then conceal himself
within gunshot of the meat. The coyota
would get on the trail where the meat
had been dragged and follow it
until he would find the meat, where
he could easily be shot.
During the leisure , houra of the
winter davs the farmers are making
from two to three dollars per day, the
scalp being worth $1 and the hide from
76 cents to $1, and the sport $5.

contest began at 7 o'clock in the morn
ing and lasted till half past 5 in the
