The Dark Side of q Jockeys Life.

On the floor of the hottest room in an
up town Russian bath small man lay
doubled up, bemoaning his fate, says the
New York Sun. He was mere bag of
skin and bones, with a few sharply defined
muscles in his arms and upper legs. In
one hand he had a small polished wooden
stick about the shape and size of an ordi-
nary foot rule. This he rubbed over his
back, shoulders and legs and wherever
there was any flesh covering the bones.
1t was what might be called the ''re
rerse picture of a jockeys life" The man
Eas a famous jockey and the contrast be-
tween his reception at the grand stand
shcn he comes in on the back of q winning
horse, cheered by thousands of racegoers,
and his position squirming about ON the
floor of the hot room, trying to reduce his
weight another pound or two before the
race in the afternoon, was very strong. The
natural weight of this particular jockey is
about 1876 pounds. He had been in the hot
room two hours without taking drink of
any kind
Finally he decided that he could not
stand it any longer and sent out for some
sherry and ice. This he took with the air
of Il man who was consumed by thirst
and then settled back On the floor again
and remarked that that drink would put
q quarter of a pound of weight on him
within five minutes

Over the Stale.

Theodore Woolett, young man en-
ployed on the edging machine in Lawrence
Newhall & Co.'s mill at Shawmut, was
struck in the stomach by bolt, Wednes-
day, and seriously injured. He was I'M
conscious for several hours.
Corn canning has been finished for this
season at the Newport factory. The crop
has been one of the best ever known in
that part of the state. The product of two
hundred acres has been three hundred
thousand cans, as against 100000 cans
from 1926 acres last year. The profit to the
farmers has been highly satisfactory
amounting to from S55 to $50 per acre
without the fodder, which is worth about
S. 90 per ton for feed.
There was some trouble between two
families in the south part of Etna a few
days ago which ended in fight between the
women of the two families with the result
that one is confined to her bed by her in
juries, while the other was taken to Ban
gor and had trial before the police court.
How serious the injuries inflicted are, is not
known at present, but it has been deemed
necessary to have two physicians in atten-

He. Too, Had Grieyed.

There lived down in Cambridge, Ind, q
we'll known old gentleman by the name or
Josiah Nixon, who in early toyhood had
acquired the habit of gross exaggeration.
The habit had grown upon him so that
he believed everything he said was the
truth, no matter how great the exaggera-
ton. After he had reached the ripe old
age of three score and ten some of the
deacons in the church thought it was too
much like lying to pass unnoticed, and it
was decided, after great deal of consid-
Grafton, that the old gentleman must be
churched.
One evening, while he was seated in
front of his door, telling small circle of
neighbors about the way the pioneers had
to live, the gate opened, and the delegation
of deacons filed in.
YES" the old gentleman was saying,
I'VE had hard times then. l lived two
years on grass and hickory bark on Sun
days. We used to call Sundays bark days
on that account, and that's the only way
we could tell when Sunday come. Bears

Uncle Josiah" broke in one of the
dcacons, I'VE have come to see you about
this habit of yours. You have the unpleas
ant habit OF forgetting the truth when
talk ing, and we have come to demonstrate
with you"

A "Reminiscences of Alboni.

Nine. Ziegler, better known by her
stage name Marietta Alboni lived to a
ripe age as the result Of good care of her
self and plenty of exercise. She was a
great walker and made errands of mercy
among the poor at Ia distance so as to have
a good excuse for her out of door life. She
was particularly fond of Rossini's music.
A few days before his death Rossini was
enduring intolerable suffering, which
nothing could assuage. Among the num-
Der of intimate friends who were near him

Requisites of a Race Starter.

lone Of the most essential requisites in
starting running race horses, says James
b. Ferguson, is quick eye to realize
when ones field is well together and prop
erly in motion and brain to act in sym
pathy with the eye. 1t is not sufficient
that all the horses should be exactly in a
line when the flag falls. 1t is far more i'm
portant that their muscle shall be equally
extended, so that when the start is made
all bound forward together like the move
ment of a well regulated machine. Good
authorities claim that absolute equality of
motion is essential and that absolute
equality of position is not essential to q
perfect start, and they arc right"
