NEW YORK. June 5.-All the danger
in the life of q jocky does not hinge on
the actual running of a race. OF course.
the danger Is then immediate, as 1t Is q
common thing for horse and rider to
fall and for other horses to trample
on the PROSTATE boy. More jockeys are
killed, however, off the race track than
on. 1t is the training to keep down
weight that works the evil. a more dead
ly one than the stel-shod hoofs Of flying
horses.
This fact was tragically proven the
other day when Fred Gebhards jockey,
John Billings. died in Bellevue hospital
from the effects of overtraining 1t is
not often that such a direct cause comes
to the surface. Most of the victims Of
the training system weaken themselves
so that the slightest touch of illness fin
ishes them. A cold which would be
shaken of in no time by the average boy
makes q consumptive Of the jockey or
his career is finished by pneumonia.
In this country few Jockeys live to an
old age while in England 1t Is quite the
reverse. In the latter country the boys
and men are kept down to weight by
natural methods. while here the boys use

Some men are not professional heart

others; that is they have dived deeper

tainly wonderful, especially when that

AS the reluctant feet Of young girl
presses the virgin soil of a pure and per

gretful glance backward at the childhood
which fades away even as she turns her
head, she is very likely to come in con-
tact with one of these so-called profess
sional heart breakers.
Her soul may be clean, with lasting
cleanliness and hold more of the divine
than the earthly, but her success In
so remaining lies wholly within herself.
As one looks before them they see q

stables. Every morning he was up at
4 o'clock exercising some of the horses.
On an average he rides about thirty
miles a day, which In itself is rather Wig
orous exercise. In the exercise gallops
he always wears double sweaters and
heavy woolen clothing, and the prespi-
ration runs away from him in puddles.
Like all the other great jockeys he
maintains valet. who rubs him down
three or four times a day. Taral diets
himself carefully He says that he is
hungry all the time from one end of the
season to the other. But he doesn't mind
the hunger as much as he does the
thirst. Fluids of all kinds. he asserts,
are more fattening than solids, and, in
consequence. must be vigorously avoid
ed. At times he says he would gladly
give 500 II he could conscientiously
drink all the icewater he wanted. His
sleep is disturbed by night by dreams Of
gallons of cool drinks, but he rarely
dreams about food.
He not only suffers from hunger and
thirst day and night, but he also finds 1t
necessary to walk and run from twelve
to fifteen miles a day to keep in good
trim. In hot weather this part Of the
program is omitted, as he perspires so
freely then that it is unnecessary. He
always punches the bag an hour q day.

hardest hitting of the stable boys.
A CLEVER BOXER.
1t is not generally known that Taral
Is one of the cleverest boxers in the coun-
try. He had serious thoughts last win
ter OF entering the prize ring and trying
for the bantam weight championship
against Billy Plimmer when that agile
young Engllshman held the belt. His
friends dtssuaded him, however, arguing
that 1t might detract from his reputa-
tion as a jockey, and in consequence in
terfere with his earning capacity.
Taral makes about $4,000 a year, and
at conservative estimate has a for
tune Of 100000 slowed safely away.
Under these conditions 1t requires much
fortitude for q young man to go hungry
and thirsty and work like slave for
good part of the year.
His life is a weary grind, and II is
small wonder that most of the other
Jockeys avoid the hunger. the thirst and
the hard work by sweating OUT in

SOME METHODS OF TRAINING DOWN

artificial means to bring about the de-
sired result. In the great stables of
England there are scores of trainers
fifty. sixty and seventy years old who
could ride tomorrow at 11O pounds.
They are healthy and strong, too. After
certain time had elapsed they found
1t unnecessary to keep on training down,
as nature stepped in and did the work.
The ex-jockeys in this country present
q different front. Jimmy Rowe, now
training the horses in the Thompson sta
BILE, used to ride at los pounds. Today he
weighs 1S0 pounds. Jimmie McLaugh-
lin fifteen years ago had no trouble
in weighing in at 108 pounds. Four
years ago he could ride at 118 pounds.
Today he could not ride at less than 16O
80 hard to keep his weight down he
would probably be living today.
BOILED IN A HOT ROOM.
The boy Billings. who died the other
day, was big-boned man with a lot Of
hard flesh. He was not fat but weighed
more than thirty pounds above the linn
1t Of a steeplechase race he was to ride
in. He tried to get this off by practically
living in a Turkish bath house. For ten
days prior to his death he took little or
no nourishment. and spent forty eight
hours at stretch in the bath, most Of
the time In the steam room. On leaving
the bath house he caught slight cold

made quick work Of him. He was sent to
the hospital and died the next day. Two
months ago he was a powerful, strong
man, with hardy physique.
The Turkish bath system has proven
most pernicious to Jockeys. 1t is the
easiest and quickest way to take off
flesh. but it saps the strength more
quickly than any other method. The
sensible jockeys make use of 1t to a very
small extent, not more so than the av-
erage man, But the sensible ones are
few In number. The rank and file of the
boys gorge themselves with rich foods
and wines, and make new flesh and
blood as fast as they lose it, They live
at fast pace, and in few years join the
great brigade Of has beens.'
THE EXCEPTIONS.
The exceptions are men like Fred Tar
81, Sam Doggett. Simms, Littlefield.
Griffin, and the few others who are paid
DIG retaining fees by the important sta
pies. These men take as much pride in
keeping their weight down as they do
IN their riding. Their contracts always
contain a clause stipulating the mini
mum weight at which they must ride.
II Jockey fails to keep his weight at
this point the contract Is broken and he
loses large sum.
Fred Taral agreed to ride at 1lO pounds
this year. and this means that he must
keep his weight down to 1O7. Ordinarily
he weighs about 100 pounds and he takes
good care or himself all the year through.
A month before the season began he
deserted his fine house and little family.
and. leaving the fashionable district in
which he lives. took up his abode with

Some women say, II can win grander

win what they deem grander things
they resign all claims upon the former.
and life to them, as they themselves
have proven, is empty.
They are not given the power to love
or enjoy peace after perplexing battles
upon life's f1tful waters; only persist
emily wretched life; no happiness do
they find amidst neglect and daily dis
couragements.
Sympathy and tenderness were long
since driven away; and shades of de-

as dreams, desolation and beartache bit

Such is the world Of human hearts
Amidst all this such thing as a true
friendship can scarcely exist; one can
not always be fatalist; it is easy some
times to believe what has been was to
be, but not every one can lay aside their
own individuality enough to believe
what is to be will be. Human lives are
sometimes placed at such a trifling
value.

tales Of misplaced confidence and dis

A villain Of the deepest dye, and yet
he is so often the recipient of respect
and esteem, from those who are consid-
cred members of the respectable class.
The veil Of ignorance is being lifted
slowly from our eyes; and we are en-
abled to see society as 1t really is"
Not to seem but to be is right and hon.
orable. and If women, who see so much
to admire in the professional heart
breaker, gave more thought to real mer-
its and less to outside show she would
