there is law upon our statute
books requiring supervisors to erect
such sign-boards, under penalty
for neglecting to do so. That law
should be rigidly enforced.

some opInIons by .Boston.s Pride.

John l. sullivan has discovered that
the man who associates with black
guards will take on their characteristics.
They're pin heads, he said, "ani it
doesn't do man any good to go around
with EN-. What man wants TO do in
this world is TO look out for men who
are on level with him or mebbe lit
tie higher up. AS he grows older he
gets more sense in his head and more ex-
perience to help him through life. That's
better than teachin' lot of shoemalxers
the time of day II can not be said
that these sentiments are strictly
original, but it is certain that they em-
bod the wisdom of the world as far as
mans relations to man are concerned.
Tie labor of reasoning and the stormy ex-
parience which has led the greatest of
prize fighters to this conclusion is part
of tile history of the world Sullivan is
a curious mixture of child and man
reaching out for knowledge. He will
talk for days on some special idea that
has attracted his attention, and then
again. for week at a time, he will in-
dulge in the most silly and childlike
amusement. During one of his Southern
tours he took fancy TO a beetle browed
and chin whiskered barroom lounger in
Cincinnati who loved to whine old Irish
songs TO the accompaniment of bat
tered guitar. Sullivan bought this man
a suit of clothes and carried him along
with him on his tour for several weeks.
He would sit hour after hour listening
with an air of feeble rapture to the idi-
otic meanings of the so called minstrel.
Judged by any and all standards, the
man had an utterly incompetent and
tuneless ear. Yet there was something
about his amiable way of going through
life that struck a responsive chord in
Sullivan's nature, and he made the man
pet while the spell lasted. Then one
day he kicked him out, and probably has
never thought of him since.

1t is not to be wondered at that jockeys
occasionally get what is technically
known as "big head and grow POM
pous and important. Few Jocks can
stand the tremendous temptations to
which they are subjected. Most of them
are more or less ignorant stable boys
who suddenly find that they are in COM
mand of earnings ranging between
$40, 900 and $50, 900 year, and who are
courted, fattered and patronized in the
most absurd manner by men of wealth
and position. All sorts of racing and
sporting men treat jockeys with fiatter-
ing consideration, for the boys sleep IN
the stalls with the horses" and know
more about their running qualities than
any outsider, no matter how well in
formed he may be. The judgment of
jockeys is not, as rule, valuable in de-
Gliding upon the finish of a race, but their
knowledge of the form of a race horse
and the exact condition in which he may
happen to be on the eve of the struggle
is of great importance. Hence the
champagne, tips, and promises which
are brought to bear upon the boys. Most
of them have to keep in rigid training,
denying themselves all but the neces-
saries of life SO as to keep down to rid
ing weight, and this has tendency to
make them short tempered. 1t is not to
be wondered at that a jockey OCCASION
ally falls by the wayside.

seven hours, sleep At Least.

There is not one man or woman in 10,-
OO0who can afford to do without seven or
eight hours sleep. All those stories
written about great men and women who
slept only two or thee hours a night
make very interesting reading, but tell
you, my readers, no man or woman ever
yet kept healthy in body and mind for
number of years with less than seven
hours sleep. Americans need more
sleep than they are getting. This lack
makes them so nervous and the insane
asylum so populous. If you can get to
bed early, then rise early. If you can
not get to bed till late, then rise late. It
may be as Christian for one man to rise
at as it is for another to get up at 8. !
counsel my readers to get up when they
are rested. But let the rousing bell be
rung at least 30 minutes before your
public appearance. Physicians say that
a sudden jump out of bed gives irregular
motion to the pulse. 1t takes hours TO
get over a too sudden rising. Give Us
time after you call US to roll over, gaze
at the world full in the face, and look
before we leap.

Give the Boys a Chance.

We mean your boy, the little fellow
you left at home this morning when you
started for the store or Office. Don't for
get he has wants as real and tangible to
him as yours are to you. Remember he
is no more born saint than you were.
And if you just reflect little you will
oe ashamed to think how far from it you
we're. Don't forget him as soon as his
good bye, papa" fades away behind
you. Didn't he ask you for something?
Ia jack knife or a hammer or new slate
or some pencils or something or other
If you love your boy and wish to show
him that you do you might better forget
a business appointment down town than
forget his request.
If he asks you for something your bet
ter Judgment says he should not have,
don't be content with simply ignoring
.he boys wish, but take the time and
trouble to explain your reasons Boys.
even pretty young ones, are quicker than
you may think to see a point. Always
give a reason for refusal Of his request,
even if it is the one you too often give,
that you can't afford it. And be careful
how you give that reason.
If he las lost or broken his jack knife,
and asks you for new one, don't scold
him. Albeit you may give him a little
lesson in carefulness, but don't tell him
you can't afford to give him 10 cents for
a new one and then before you leave the
house pull out your cigar case and light
a 10 cent cigar.
The boy will be drawing inyidious dis.
finctiong before you know IL.

Mr. Lehman is sufferin uatrom form
of paresis, aud although he is but ~
years old there is not the slightest hope
of his recovery. He lives like king in
his apartments. and his family pay for
the luxuries with royal liberalty,
He has three apartments which occu-
py all the right side of the house on the
lower floor For these rooms and board
alone he pays $3.50 a week. Then he has
three special attendants who keep with
him night and day These cost Sl9

He keeps his horses aud carriages and
rides out once day. One of the attend
ants does the driving, while the other
two sit ON either side Of him For the

it is necessary to keep three attendants

his incarceration Heis tall, athletic
ally built man, and is possessed of enor-

| Although his three attendants are all
trained athletes they have great difficulty

rooms an attendant sits at his bedside

two sleep in the large room a few feet
distant.

the rooms. He has almost wrenched the
iron gratings from their places and on
one occasion almost succeeded in climb

through. To guard against repetition
Of this the glass has been removed and

place.
About once a month Mr., Lehman's
wife comes on from Chicago to see hel

her four children with her. She is moi
