ORIGIN OF FAMOUS PHRASE
Belief that Common Political Term
Sprang Prom a Horse Race Held
in Tennessee.
The political term “dark horse” is
| thought to'have had its origin in the
j following circumstances:
In the last century there lived in
Tennessee a “character” named Flynn,
an elderly person who dealt in horses.
Flynn generally contrived to own a
speedy nag or two for racing purposes
if he could arrange for “a good thing”
during his peregrinations throughout
the state.
The best of Flynn’s flyers was a
coal black stallion named Dusky Pete,
almost a thoroughbred and able to go
in the best of company.
One day Flynn visited a town where
a race meeting was in progress. He
entered Pete. The people, knowing
nothing of the horse's antecedents and
not being over impressed by his ap
pearance, backed the local favorite
heavily against the stranger.
Just as the beasts were being sad
dled for the race, a certain Judge Mc
Minam.ee, who was the “oracle" of
that part of the state, arrived on the
course and was made one of the race
judges.
As he took his place on the stand he
was told of the folly of the owner of
the strange entry. Running his eye
over the track the judge instantly rec
ognized Pete. "Gentlemen,” said Me
Minamee. "there’s a dark horse in this
race, as you'll soon find out.”
He was right. Pete, “the dark horse,”
lay back until the three-quarter pole
was reached, when he went to the
front with a rush and won the race.
JUST A MERE SUGGESTION
Huby’s Plaint, However, Threatened
to Develop Into a First-Class
Family Spat.
“Gertrude!”
“Yea, John.”
“We've been married long enough
now to talk plainly to each other.”
"What's the matter now?”
“If I do something you don't like I
want you to tell me of It, and if you
do things I don't like. I think I ought
to tell you of them, too.”
“I suppose I don’t suit you at all?”
“Yes you do, but I think we ought
to talk over our likes and dislikes. In
that way we can get along so much
better.”
“John, I want you to understand
right now that I was brought up every
bit as well as you, and know how to
behave. And as to my cooking, I can
do as well as your mother ever did.”
“I had hoped that you wouldn't lose
your temper. But if you’re going to
act this way we may as well drop the
matter right here.”
“What is the matter, anyhow?”
| “I only wanted to suggest that when
! you darn my socks it would be better
for me if you would tie the knots on
the outside, instead of the inside.”
New York Police Mascot.
In addition to its official "yaller dog"
mascot, Bum, the old Mulberry street
police station has accpiired another
dog, known as Peg Post. He is also
of an ochre tint, and his mysterious I
behavior has baffled the wisest sleuths
in the station. When the men begin
their tours on the stationary or "peg''
posts at ten o'clock at night, the dog
comes trotting from somewhere and
takes up his station with whichever
policeman on duty in the precinct suits
his fancy for that particular night.
Frequently he changes from one post
to.another, and remains on watch
until the stationary posts give way
to regular patrol at six in the morn
ing. Then lie trots away, and is not
seen until the next night. Offers of
tidbits from the men's lunches have
been repeatedly refused by Peg Post
and his agility has thus far prevented
any one from learning the number of
the dog license he wears on his collar.

Aid to the Unlovely.
“I try to be an eflicient city direc
tory,” said the hotel clerk, "but balk
at recommemlyig a beauty doctor to
women guests.
"That is one of the first things they
want to know. Churches, theaters,
even dressmakers can wait a few days,
but the beauty doctor is an immediate
; necessity. Unfortunately, they do not
j get much satisfaction out of me. Any
number of beauty specialists leave
! cards for distribution, but so many of
i them have been mixed tip in lawsuits
j that I feel squeamish about delivering
| their cards. To satisfy my own con
' science and the women at the same
I time I hand out a hunch of advertise
ments with (he remark that 1 guess
they are about all alike.
“Then they can ptfy their money
and take their choice, and if they lose
j their hair and complexion, they can’t
, come back on me for damages.”
Largest Flying Fish.
The largest flying fish on record
wtts served up for breakfast on the
British warship Ardeola a short time
ago. The Ardeola was homeward
bound and was off the Canary Islands
when a large school of flying fish was
observed They were apparently in
full flight from some deep sea enemy
and traveling rapidly. As the ship
met and passed them several flew on
board and. were seized by the crew as
welcome additions to the mess. One
of the fish measured 19 inches; the
largest flying fish ever seen before the
Afdeola’s catch have never exceeded
10 inches. The hig one was fried for
the captain's breakfast. Flying fish
are very palatable and taste like
trout.
“A great mistake has been made by
the government In the way the census
is taken," remarked the mature Miss
Horkins. "There should have been a
separate list for each person, so that
it could have been filled out and im
mediately placed in a sealed en
velope.”
"What difference does it make?”
asked her hostess.
“If you lived at our boarding house
you'd think it made a difference,” re
turned Miss Horkins very positively.
"The enumerator, after finding how
many there were in the house, left four
horrid papers, each one with spaces
sufficient for a large family, and it
was extremely awkward.”
"1 don’t see why it should have been
awkward,” observed her friend. "My
husband attended to it for our family,
but 1 could have done it myself just
as well. It Is simple."
"It is all right in your own home,
hut in a place like our boarding house,
where everybody can read what the
others have written, it is like pro
claiming your affairs from the house
tops. Everybody was anxious to see
what the others confessed. The land
lady put the blanks on the table in the
library, with a pen and ink beside
them. I was determined to wait un
til every one else had finished, take
one of the papers to my room, fill it
out and hand it to the enumerator my
self. But I had yet to realize my land
lady's powers of strategy.
“I was very much surprised at some
of the things I read on that sheet of
paper. Mrs. I,arkin's husband is her
third, if you please, and Mr. .lones is
a divorced man, though he has passed
himself off for a .bachelor. Dear old
Mrs. Blake, who doesn't care who
knows her family history or her age.
had used the w'rong line all the way
down, so it read that she had been
married 40 times instead of 40 years.
Mr Empson had filled out his own
space, but his wife had insisted upon
doing her own, and that w-as the fun
niest of all.” Miss Horkins laughed
merrily.
"What was there so amusing about
it?”
"In comparing her statement of her
age with that her husband had given
as the number of years they had been
married, I found her wedding day
must have been somewhere around
her fifth birthday.”
"But how about the landlady's strat
egy?"
"I am coming to that. I had just
finished writing out my own state
ment when there was a tap at my door.
There was the landlady, who said as
mild as milk: ‘Pardon me, Miss Hor
kins. but I must have that list w'hen
you are through with it. I hud for
gotten all about Xora, and as the
poor girl can't write I must do it for
her.’
"That does seem as if she had
planned it.”
“My dear, it was clever.”
“Of course, you handed over the
record ?"
"Not I! T said: ‘If you send Xora
to me I will write it for her, as I have
my pen and ink all ready.'
" 'I could not think of giving you so
much trouble,’ she returned.
" 'It Is not trouble at all, my dear
Mrs. Blanks,' I insisted. ‘You are such
a busy woman I should enjoy helping
you. even in so small a matter.’
“ ‘You are so kind.' she insisted, ‘but
I have nothing to do at the moment
and I will take the paper, if you
please.'
"I was growing desperate, but for
tunately Xora came upstairs just then
—she is the second girl, you know
and I called her 'Here, Xora.’ i said.
‘I want to do some writing for you.
I think Mrs. Blenks would have wait
ed and taken the paper with her after
all, if some one had not asked for her
downstairs, and she left the room cote
siderably nonplused, for I think she
realized that the paper would not get
out of my clutches until it reached tin
hands of the government official.”
“Did you succeed in your en
deavors?”
"I did. I rarely fail in what I un
dertake. A few minutes after she left
the room Mrs. Blenks called out:
‘Miss Horkins, the enumerator Is here
Send the paper down by Xora as soon
as possible.’
It was no small task to got through
"1th Nora, I can toll you. She seemed
to think she was asked to sign away I
her rights to something goodness
knows what—and as she said she
could read print I had to give tmr the
record to look over for herself. She
Is very high-tempered, and her ire was
roused by what she read: ‘Of all the
impident questions!' she exclaimed.
‘Askin' If I'm a Chinese or a mulatto,
and if I can spake English! Sure,
what else wud I spake? And all th's
from Prisident Taft, for here’s his
letther on the outside! And him crazy
to know the age of lvery man, woman
and child in the whole counthry! Mr.
Bryan niver would have done such a
thing! ’
"1 explained to the girl the best I
could, and had just written down the
last ‘ves’ when Mrs. Blenks came up
again with, ‘Really, it is too had to
keep that man waiting. 1 must take
the paper down.’
“ ‘It Is a shame,' said I, gently, ‘but
you see Nora hasn't been here long
enough to understand our ways. And,
my dear Mrs Blenks, I will not al
low you to go downstairs for so small
a thing ' So skimming past her, 1 ran
downstairs and gave the record to the
enumerator with my own hand.”
