MISTAKES ON THE TRACK,
When Jockeys Get Money That
They Are Not Entitled To,

Jockeys make mistakes sometimes
and so do judges. Constable. who Was
a most superior, trustworthy fellow,
and who had great deal of riding
tor a. youngster, as he was, told me
that he was quite sure that horse
which ran close under the judges chair
and came with a rush, or was quite
away at the lower side of the course,
sometimes escaped the judges eye
when two or three h orses were racing
in the center, and after he had made
up his mind as to who must be among
the first three; suddenly something
tears by him which he sees is a horse
and he is in two minds where to place
him. Constable told me that when
riding he often got second when he
thought his place was third and vice
versa and sometimes a first unex-
pectedly. / once experienced a bitter
disappointment in a very big race for
a considerable stake. The judge made
a great mistake and overlooked a
horse of mine entirely, which rushed
just under his nose almost. The fact
was palpable that the horse was first
by nearly two lengths, but the judge,
whom l knew for years afterward and
respected greatly, told me that
it was mistake, and a bad
one. Directly the horses were past
the post my jockey, as a matter OF
course, was waiting to ride back first,
when the rumor spread like wildfre
that my horse was not placed. On
passing the chair my jockey said to
the judge: Have not you given this
race to me?' and on receiving a reply
in the negative he gave the Judge a
volley which was quite overwhelming,
but, In racing law, utterly unjustifia
BILE. A minute or two afterward the
jockey was before the stewards in the
presence of them and the Judge; who
had gone straight to them. The charge
of bad language and imputation OF
dishonesty on the judges part were
just being opened, when one OF the
the turf rushed in and said: Let us
lock the door; this is q tremendous
mistake. That Jockeys horse is not
even placed, and he won by a long
two lengths and every one saw it. 1t
can not be put right now, as it ought
to be. You had better let the whole
matter drop and let the charge of bad
language be withdrawn, for the
provocation was extreme
81 had the sympathy OF some of the
best men on the turf, and was good
friends with the judge all my life, but
1T was hard lines. It lost me a very
large sum ofmoney, but I had so many
irons in the fire that found time to
forget it, for I know that was an ac-
cldent, and / knew it was my wisest
policy to say nothing. On the quiet
the second money was paid me. -

How to Go to Sleep.

IF you want togo to sleep quickly"
said physician the other day,
drink half pint of hot water or hot
milk. 1 don't say it will act in every
case, but | will adventure my opinion
that it will act in eight cases out OF
ten. Beef tea is also good. OF coarse
you will always find people ready to
overdo this. When I said to lady
patient some time ago that feeding
the stomach on retiring produced
sleep, was called on the following
day. She had eaten what you call a
square meal." Chicago Tribune.

HENRY M. STANLEY is reported as
saying that there is do need OF further
exploration Of Africa. Progress will
do all OF that. In 1893 railway will
be completed, running from the ocean
to the lowest cataract, a distance OF
24O miles That will open up 800
miles OF navigable waters, which
means $4,000 miles OF river banks,
on which will be located towns and
villages and many industries, and the
natural growth OF the country under
these conditions will do away With
any need for further explorations. 2

ROUGH ONTHE OLD MAN.

BY Losing His Bet He Saved the
Life of the Countess in the Story.
Anne Millet, the French sculptor
who died few weeks ago, was in the
habitue OF the Divan Lepelletier a.
Bohemian Club in Paris frequented
by artists, authors, and newspaper
men. His best friend in the club was
Paul Duplessis, the novelist, who long
edited the feuilleton in the Patrie.
The two men had a standing engage
ment to meet at the club every even
ing shortly before dinner. One even
ing when Duplessis was late Millet
strobe impatiently up and down the
reception room, striking his hands
before and behind him, and eagerly
eyelng his watch every five minutes.
Finally Duplessis arrived forty-6v
minutes late, Millet sprang to him
and caught him by both shoulders.
"What's the matter?" calculated
the novelist.
"a question:" :. answered Millet.
my father reads your serial novel in
Patrie with tremendous care and in
terest. Yesterday you left the Count
ess IN a most critical position. She
had fallen into an ambush Of those
who were intent. on getting her out Of
the way. Must she really die?"
eyes," answered Duplessis, "she
must die. She will be killed with a
dagger thrust by the Corsican AS
siani " ~
Millet dropped into a chair, struck
his list on the table, and exclaimed
II have no luck-no luck at ALL"
''But what has that to do with my
Countess?" asked the novelist.
''Everything. My father bet with
me that the Countess would die. I
took his bet, because thought you
would be obliged to rescue her from
her perilous position so as to use her
in the rest OF the story"
"How much did you bet?'
'"Ten louis dor"
'"The devil you did! That's too
much"
Eyes, yes, too much, and with all
my debts?" walled Millet. Cant YOU
help me?" ..,
Duplessis reflected a minute, looked
at his watch, and said:-
ut is 9 o'clock. The page on which
my story appears will go to press in
half an hour. If we hurry we may
reach the office in time to save the
Countess.
In an instant Millet was in the street
shouting for cab, and Duplessis was
close behind him. Both men were
hatless. The cab came, they jumped
in, and drove off like mad to the Office
OF the Patrie. They arrived there at
the last minute. The section of the
novel prepared for the next day was
hastily withdrawn and a harmless
African story was showed into it's
place. Duplessis worked all night saw
ing the Countess, aad appeared on the
following afternoon at the Patrie
office with a revised edition of the
next chapters ofhis novel. The Count
ess had been saved, and with her Mil

A Financial Reform.

President Polk, of the Farmers Alliance,
after his Southern tour, was interviewed at
Washington last Thursday. He said that
the Alliance was progressing beautifully
All talk of split on account of the sub
treasury idea was absurd A difference of
opinion existed only as to the form of the
measure and its details but none as to prin-
ciple, and every alliance man had the same
object in view.
He said further that the issue is not tariff,
free coinage of silver, or the sub-treasury
bill. The issue is reform of our entire fl
nancial system, and this reform must be ac-
complished before anything else that may be
done can correct existing evils
