ADVICE TO RACERS.
Given by Earl Peabody. Il Man Who
Has Gained II Great Reputation
and Who Ought to Know.

! Earl Peabody, the young bicycle rae.
ing man who made such creditable
record last year, was asked to advise
novices on how to ride to win, and he
replied: STUDY your field and know the
man you have to beat. | never enter a
race where knew the men that | did
not have one in view to watch, and by
him Judge my race.
| worked on two theories. II there
was man noted for starting long spirits
| wanted to catch his rear wheel the min
ute he jumped, and follow for home. If
there was no long Splinter | planned to
be as good as third at the quarter pole.
was then in position to jump myself, or
to catch any one who started Il long
sprint unexpectedly as he went by.
In Il paced race thought the second
position the best. In race where every
man must show to the front there is al
ways Il scramble for the pole, in order to
obey the rules and have the worry over.
| always planned to let it go, unless |
had a cinci on it. | tried to get nicely
placed and work up 50 that could show
up in the backstretch and drop back in
second or third position, out of pocket,
ready for the last jump. In shch race
when a man tries to pass to show, in
crease the sprint, not tire yourself out
but to make him work a little harder,
thereby firing and worrying him.
In an unpaced race every man should
do his share of the work without sprint
ing to get the pole if possible. Long
sprints for the tape are disastrous. A
novice will invariably start Il long sprint
and tire. The more experienced he be-
comes the shorter will be his sprint.
don't mean to say that II novice can win
on short sprint, for that is something
that has to be worked up after long prac-
tice.N

WITCHCRAFT
Still Has It's Adherents in the Noun.
tains of West Virginia.

That belief in witchcraft could exist il
a civilized community i'll the nineteenth
century few will believe, yet such a con
dition does exist in the State of Wes
Virginia.
There is Il community along Cane
Creek, near Lawson Postottice, in Raleigl
county, where the traditions and super
stitions of Cotton Mathcr's time have
been handed down from generation tG
generation, and, although that bcauti.
full mountain country is dotted with
schools and churches there are witch doc
tors and alleged witches and warlocks,
who keep the doctors busy with incanta-
tions and chants in order to stop their
evil machinations.s
Many stories are told of bpwitchcd
persons in that neighborhoOd, but the
latest of them, which was circulated only
Il few days ago, and which is corrobor-
ated by Rev. Dr. Humble, Il weIl-known
and highly respected Presbyterian mis-
sionarv, who was present ut the time,
will give an idea OF the depths OF super.
stition which still prevails.
A few days ago four children Of Griffith
farrell were attacked with mysterious
disease never before known in that
neighborhood.
The boy was about 10 years old, and
the three girls ranged from II to Is. The
elder Jarrels were settled in their be-
lief in witchc"aft, and to that all the
trouble was attributed.
The superstition of the parents affected
the children to such an extent that the
boy not only claimed to be bewitched,
but named the guilty persons, who hap
pened to he old man Blizzard and an old
woman named Lukens, both OF whom
lived alone in cabins in the depths Of the
mountains.
The ncighhors OF the Jarcl!s-Iike the
Elder .|ames-were all believers in the
black art, and they advised the JarreIis
to call on witch doctor, recommending
one named Wells, who, it was said,
could easily break the mischief. maxim
spell.
Wells was sent for, and after diagnos.
ing the cases prescribed n silver bullet to
be shot at efiigies representing old man
Blizzard and Mrs. L,lkens.
The eiiiges were made and set up
against the barn, and the monntaincers !,
took turns in shooting ut them with the
witch-killing bullet
The one representing old man Blizzard !
was easily perforated, but not one of the
good shots as they were,
could hit the old woman.
The crowd became engrageu and de-
to mob the old Nonlan, and
with this in view they SIT ont for her
cabin in tie woods.
Fortunately she saw the mob coming
md made her escape into the forrest.
She has not been seen since.
Failing in his first attempt, the witch
loctor got n bottle, which he filled with
needles, pins and water.
This he placed on the fire, saying:
Now, when the water boils some one
will call and ask for favor, and he will
De the guilty party.
Strangely enough, just as the water
ame to boil old man Blizzard came to
he house to borrow something, and lie
certainly would have been shot by ,Jar
e but for the fact that as Jarpl was
for his gun the bottle burst,
md the hundreds of needles AID pins
With which it had been loaded, flew
