he has given the greater part OF his time

Story Which shows That IL Does Not Do

From the Lou.sv.i.e Courier Jgar,,l.
roundeE Is telling q good story about how
a noted jockey gave a big plunger hard throw
down last year. The betting man ascertained
at the wife of the jockey had received instruc
lions from her husband how TO bet, and, get
ting an introduction TO the lady, he became a
sort of chaperon. always afterward occu pying
an adjoining seat in the grand stand. Ere
quently the plunger spoiled the odds for the
jockey and his hackers. SO the latter, after as
certaiuing the so1rce of the leak, set about to
set things straight again.
One day the runner hastened TO the stand
and told the jockeys wife her husband said
put 600 ON q certain horse. knowing her
usual form of betting the plunger was aware
the sum named was a large one for her to
hazard. and when she sent the money to the
ring he followed and literally smothered the
bookmakers with bills on that particular
performer. When the race was over, how
ever, that corner Of the stand was very quiet
as the good thing failed to get q place. The
jockey in question rode the winner. and after
looming HIS everyday clothes walked up TO
where his wife was seated, and, displaying
handful OF winning tickets amounting to
several Thousand dollars, handed his wife two
crisp 800 bulls to make good her losses.
The plunger tumbied TO the dose given him
and since that time there has been a vacant
seat in the ladies stand.

CONSTANT AND VALUED SERVICES.
Few national vessels have ever performed
such constant and valued services Her vari-
Gus commanders were among the most distin.

share to their country naval history. With
