Yet it has a;rivbd. It flourishes. It proves Itself sn an swer to a need of the hour. But not for men. No, no!

RACED LIKE THE GREYHOUND Botafogo, Most Famous Horse of Argentina, Was Known to Turf Followers Throughout World. T)u* most fan’.nus race horse that fhe fine studs of Argentina ever bred .was probably Botafogo, for he was reTif»wned amona: turf followers the M'orld over. He died near Mar del JMata a short time ago, being only eight years old present is linked to the mainland only by an artitielal causewaj’. Pormerly the :\Iont, which in the course of the centuries has been by turns a Druld- ical shrin(>, a Benedictine abbey, and a state prison, and which, since its restoration by Violet-Ie-Duc, is jea lously preserved as an historical monument, was as Inaccessible at high fide, except by boat, as Its Corn ish counterpart, St. Michael’s IJount still is.

One day when he was not in form and lost to Gray Fox the event regarded in Argentina as quite a national catastrophe In a subse- .quent “n*venge race” he defeated his ^t*onqueror with perfect ease before the greatest crowd that ever assem bled at the Pnlen.no tracks. J Actor Who Could Not Write. The true story of “,Joe Miller's Joke Book." is an inten#rh;g bit of literary history. Truth is that Joe ]\Iiller never read a joke in his life, and therefore could not have cnmpiled a book of jokes. For Joe Miller could not read. He was an ii:n.>-ant actor, who achieved great siu^'css in 1<14 at the r>rury Lane theater in London. And the only way that Joe Miller could memorize the lines of his parts was to have them read an(l reread to him until he was aide to repeat them, the duty of thus drtmuning dialogue and cues Into the co'uedian’s mind being entrusted to a wile, whom he had mar- rle<l for the purpose. Off the stage or on. Miller was not fi wit or humorist. But a year after his death a pamplilet api)eared In which 247 jests were given, of v>hicli on*' 'iree wo-v ascribed to J'»e Miller. The\ hnf’ ’ compned by a man with t'.iate name of Mcttely. By the luid.ii >f the Nineteenth cf-n- tury the numi t ot jokes had been Increased by successive compilers to 1,546. Electric-Lighted Handbag. Tlie latest novelty from London—not Paris—Is a lady’s handbag equipped interiorlj’ with an electric light. Just Not particularly j necessary for a woman to need a light to empty her purse! Nevertheless, the novelty handbag is about the cutest thing to arrive this sc^iison from the other side. One that was a gift to a young matraa was the sensation of a section of tine lower iloor in a theater, Raymond G. Carroll T-ecently wrote from New Yorlt to the Philadelphia Ledger. She opent>d the handbag, a function whii'h auCMiuat- ically flooded the inside of the* bag with light from a tiny electric bulb, located about half an inch belovr the clasp, and fed from a miniature stor age battery covered with oil skin, lis tened at the bottom of the bag.

The o her day a Cliieago woa»- un, testifying against her husband in lier divorce suit, deciareil: “lie leatls me, his awful Mife, a lawful life." Tliere was a lou«l titter in the court, and blushing with embarrassment she hastened to correct herself. The other concerns a young woman who was dining at a strange house. On the table was a dish of boiled i>nions, and when her hostess was. serving these and remarked that, of course, she liked tlienj, the young woman reniarketl enthusiastically: “Oh. yes, indeed; if tliere is one veg etable I like it is oiled bimions.” Just think if her hostess’ husband had been a chiropodist.—Boston Transcript.
