DAILY SHORT STORY
A Satisfactory Vacht Race.
Friday, July l, 1904.

tasks should he to induce the Mormons

Roosevelt.
Growth of Socialism.
The rapid growth of Socialism Is di
rectly due to the Republican policy of
protefMon and subsidies. It leads
men to believe that the government
should care for them an It protects fee
trusts and corporations. Seeing the
tariff barous are made rich by special
laws, why cannot, they ask. all of us
have our legal share of the plunder?
Instead of numerous trusts why not
have a national trust in which every
one can be a stockholder? Protection
thrives on public extravagance anil
breeds corruption, amother argument
for the Socialist.
ilonest Republicans who have been
led to believe in protection should
think of the broad road they are driv
ing iu and the revolution and destruc
tion of republiean government that
must be met at the end of their Jour
ney. The only salvation for the masses
Is their being led to believe that
"equality of opportunity for all"-the
fundamental doctrine of Democracy
will destroy monopoly and give each
his share for his labor without the
paralysis of individual effort that So
cialism would produce.

Bob White:
What's in a name? If Hob White
could talk lie would tell you. A gov
ernment report urges the adoption of
measures to secure the preservation
of Mob Whites. So Bob has estab
lished a reputation. Hut after all
there isn't much in his name. Wc
know him quite as well by the name
of Common Quail.
Hob won his good name in this way.
Certain observations, experiments and
investigations by the ornithologists of
the department of agriculture have
proved that Bob White is a good
friend to the farmer. They cannot
speak loo loudly in his praise. Tlx

seeds and destroys many insect pests.
and still docs not reed upon grain.
fruits or any other crop.
It has been estimated that in Vir
ginia alone the little faniilv of Hob
Whites consumes what would amount
to 570 tons of weed seeds. The cot
ton boll weevil, the Rocky Mountain
locust, the cotton worm and the pota
to beetle are pests upon which the
Hob White feeds. Any one of these
insects, when out in force, will dam
age a state's crop to the extent of mil
lions of dollars a year.
Plenty of Material.
Au illustration of the accuracy of
the republican press is shown in the
situation relative to the choice by the
democratic party of a presidential
candidate. Several months ago de
risive remarks were made by the re
publican press to the effect that the
democratic party could not find a can
didate who wanted the nomination
The truth of the situation is that then
are so many candidates, so much en
thusiasm, so much competition and so
much demand for the nomination by
so many democratic enthusiasts that
the situation is intensely interesting.
A lew weeKs ago tne republican press
intimated that the delegates to the
St. Isolds com cut ion would be on their
knees imploring some one to accept
the nomination.
Hearst and Parker are recognized
as leaning candidates as tney nave
most of the instructed delegates. Then
there are mentioned Adlai E. Steven
son of Illinois. Cray of Delaware. Ol
ney of Massachusetts. Wall of Wiscon
son. Folk of Missouri. Harmon of Cin
cinnati. Kilbourne of Columbus. Mc
Clellan of New York. Gorman of Mary

them Cleveland.

Royal Leighton had been hanging j
about "Blanche Asche for a long while.
Miss v Asche gave him little encourage- i

of mischief aud occasionally would!

crestfailen die would le when she gave
him the cold shoulder. Both were
rich. Leigiiton's taste was for horses: j
Miss Ascbe's for loats. One day whenj
Leighton Lad proposed for the tenth
time the lady said to him:
TH tell you what I'll do. I'll match
my yacht Ariadne against your Oneida.
If your'boat leats mine I'll marry you.
If wine beats yours bo it understood
that you're not to bother me with
your propositions ever after."
"But my Oneida is a tub," said
Leighton. "I know nothing about
yachts. You know a lot about them. J
and your Ariadne is the fastest boat
of bar class afloat In American
waters"
"It's f that or nothing," Blanche re
plied. "If you accept. I'll send my
sailing master to you to arrange the
details;? if not. I shall consider any
future attentions from you as the
world would consider an insult from
one who has refused to tight.'
There (WSJ nothing for Leighton but
to seize upon this one chance. He
agreed to the terms, the Pest two in
three raoos, sailed under the standard
yachting rules. Both yachts were in
spected and measured, but this was a
mere form, for neither was to give the
other any time.
On the day of the first race few knew
anything alout it. and those who did
failed to see much pleasure in prospect
for a race between the fleet Ariadne
and the commonplace Oneida.
There was a fine breeze to the stake
boat, and the Ariadne sailed away
from the Oneida, turning the stake
half a mile in the lead, but coming

oacK mere wa.s iuucu surprise OU tne
part of the spectators to see that th
Oneida under a slackening wind gain
ed on her rival, but she did not mak
up more than half her loss, and th
first race was won by Miss Asche.
rvr xne second - a triangular race-
there was scarcely any wind at all
The spectators speculated as to how
the Oneida could get over the water
while the Ariadne wa.s almost Im
calmed, but it was generally supposed
that the sailor of the former took ad
vantage of a tide current. The Oneid;
drew away from her rival on tin
second leg of the triangle and kept
most of what she had gained on th
third leg, coming in a full minute
ahead.
Miss Ascbe's heart stood still.
Before the third race was sailed Hit
captain of the Ariadne asked permis
sion to make a personal inspection of
the Oneida. It was granted, but if the
Inspector was looking for some pro
pelling machinery be found none. In
deetl there was no need of such an In
spe tion, for a representative of each
owner sailed on the opposing vacht
The captain went away apparently sat
istied. but nuzzled.
I here were a few persons on the
dock early in the day before the third
race who saw members of the Oneida's
crew- go aboard and noticed that when
they walked it was with a stiff gait.
While one of them had a stomach on
him disproportions te to his limbs. But
these witnesses bad nothing to do with
the yachts or the races.

Or course no one knew of the stake or
there would have been no room on the
water for the contestants. If the see
ond race was a surprise, the third was
a marvel. The Oneida, without carry
ing either the sail or having the excel
lent lines of her rival, had no sooner
got away under an eight knot breeze
than she began to draw ahead, turn
ing the stake a quarter of a mile in ad
vance. On the way back the breeze
lulled, and with the lull the relative
speed of the Oneida Increased, She
crossed th line three-eighths of a mile
ahead of the Ariadne amid shouts of
the spectators and barking of yachts'
cannon.
There was suspicion that, after all.
there had been fraud perpetrated in the
race, but Miss Ascbe's representative
said that he bad been on deck every
minute of every race and could have
detected it if practiced. Mr. Leighton
dined with the loser on the evening of
the last nice, and after dinner they re
tired to the library, where he claimed
his reward. Miss Asche confessed with
her head on bis 1ksoiii that she had
dreaded lest she should win. Never
theless she was chagrined that her
vacht should have been so Ignomlnious-

'Don't distress yourself about that.
sweetheart." said her lover. "Tomor
row I will give you a sail in her and
show whv she was leaten."
When they were alioard the Oneida
Leighton gave the crew orders to line
up on deck. From the Cat man's stom-
i. h he took the parts of a pump, while
the rest pulled sections of piping from
under their troupers legs. These were
taken to the keelson, a cork taken from

MisR Asche was satisfied. She had
lost the race, as she bad secretly de-
