A Romantic Story About a Montana
Woman in Mans Attire.

After a Fortune Is Made Her Hus-
band Throws Her Off, Falls In
Love With Another and
Applies for Divorce.

A romantic story about a woman in
mans attire, passing as her husbands

assisting him in clearing up $780, 900, and
then going East to enjoy their wealth.
put ending in a divorce court, is told in
the following tale taken from the New
York Journal:
Mrs. johanna Mcleod, at present
! living in East Patchogue, has brought
suit against her husband, Alexander
FORREST Mcleod, for separation and ALI
mony, and the story she tells, wha.-
ever may be its effect upon a Long
Island judge, would be pretty certain

verdict in the West.
She is q tall handsome woman
with nothing masculine in her appear
ance, but she swears that while living
with her husband in Montana, she was
MS helpmeet in more than the ordinary
sense. She says that he was a sufferer
from rheumatism and unable to do the
hard work of panning in the placer
streams for gold dust. They had locat-
ed in what seemed to be a rich district,
and the wife promptly attired herself
In male costume and went to work as
a miner. She cut her hair and in a
few days her arms, face and neck were
sufficiently burned by the sun to re-
move all traces of femininity. Her in
Ndllu husband was unable to do more
than wash the products of her dig
ging and panning.
According to her complaint, this
brave woman received from her hus-
band only SO as her share of her la

treatment She says her husband once
shot at her, but his aim was poor The
rough men among whom she worked in
Montana never once suspected her sex.
When the McLeods left the mines, a
year ago last February, the camp
thought that they were a pair of pros
porous brothers. Mr.. and Mrs Mcleod,
1t is said, left Montana with $4,000.
THE wife's story is that after agree

went to Hot Springs.
"A month or two later she heard
that he had become smitten with an
other woman, named Mrs. Nellie Grace

HOW SOME JOCKEYS TRAIN.
Banting and Exercising to Get Fit for the
Campaign.

At the race courses, in these spring
days, the jockeys are working as hard
as the horses to get into condition for
the season. The great difference in the
training is that the horses are well fed,
but the jockeys take their exercise half
starved. "Banting" to reduce flesh is the
first point in Jockeys system of train
ing. The fasts begin a month before the
racing opens, and until he stops riding in
the autumn the jockey suffers the tor
ments of Tantalus. Moreover. he exer-
cises violently and steadily in sweaters
and heavy clothing to keep down to the
lowest possible weight. This is the seamy
side of jockey life. AS Fred Taral puts
it: riding is as easy as rolling along in
carriage-it's the starvation that
hurts"
As a rule when a boy is in the salad
days of his career in the pigskin he is a
little chap of IS or 80 pounds, and
thoughts of reducing do not bother him.
But in most cases his weight Increases
as fast as his skill, and in a year or two
the young jockey has to begin the fight
against fat and keep IL up without a
truce until the time comes when in
creased age and growth force him into
retirement. Many of the eastern Jockeys
were seen in the saddle at Bennings. Lit

Powers and Hirsch are ''featherweight"
lads in all that the term implies, and
while some of the others can ride lighter
than they did at Washington, most of
them have to waste and work to keep
close to los pounds. They will be at the
local tracks this week, galloping the
horses and doing their own training. the

Taral and Sheedy at Sheepshead Bay

on pie at every possible opportunity. in
preference to the wholesome food OF the
trainers table. When a specially low
weight must be made the trainers have
to threaten TO whip some of the kids"
to make them abstain from forbidden
luxuries. II is different with the boys
who are earning big retainers as the first
jockeys. II is a matter of pride as well
as of profit with them TO keep down to
the lowest weight.
