TOD SLOAN'S SUCCESS
THE LITTLE AMERICAN JOCKEY HAS
TAKEN ENGLAND BY STORM.

His Peculiar Style of Riding Ridiculed at

Is something Remarkable About Him.
Tod Sloan, the 99-pound American
jockey from Kohomo, Ind. has taken
England by storm Almost as much so
as did Mary Anderson and Loie Fuller
When he first reached Great Britain
and exhibited his peculiar style of rid
ing English turfmen laughed loudly at
his queer horsemanship, as they called
it. But the little American has won so
many races in such brilliant style that
the foremost horsemen of England
have come to the conclusion that there
must be something in the peculiar
style they ridiculed at first that enables
the tiny American jockey to win races
on horses that are ten to one shots in
the betting.
With the sudden change of opinion
on Sloan's riding came wave of pop
ularity, and the little American is pic
tured and interviewed In the leading
English papers almost every day. The
latest number of the Illustrated Sport
Ing and Dramatic News contains the
following:

Everyone wants to make money .
There is no denying this fact /. Then see
or write to an expert who has spent
twenty years studying speculations and
investments. a broker who advertised
two years ago to buy Manhattan around
70 and pay for it, and put it away in a
safe and that it would pay the investor
six per cent. on his money and a certain
profit of S25 per share on his holdings
besides, also he advised to buy Lake
Shore around $l45 per share; also wheat
around 50 cents. Manhattan is now SELL
ing at SLY per share, or S42 per share
advance, and Lake Shore $l94 per shai e.
or $40 per share advance, and Wheat ST.
00 per bushel, or so cents per bushel ad-
vance. These are cold uncontradictable
facts that appeared in public print and in
market letters. The same man now adj
vises to buy cotton under six cents, corn
under thirty cents and Louisville and
Nashville railroad stock under so per
share. Every share that is bought and
paid for and laid away in a safe will be
worth a good many dollars more insiue
of one year. Cotton will show $1,000
profit on 100 bales bought now, and
Louisville & Nashville will be four per

year and will be selling at $50 per share.
Corn will be selling at 40 cents before
July next. Write to +. L. Knott, stock

Americas
Greatest
Medicine
Is Hoods SarsaparlIla.

GREATEST, Because Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is the medicine to which the
bulk of the people naturally turn
when overtaken by sickness, caused
by impure blood, scrofula, dyspepsia,
etc., or when recovering from debili-
tating blood-poisoning diseases like
diphtheria, scarlet fever, etc.
GREATEST, Because of the vast number
of testimonials which come from
every city and hamlet in the land,
telling of marvellous cures and over
flowing with gratitude.
GREATEST, Because it eradicates every
vestige of scrofula, cures the worst
cases of hip disease, subdues the itch
ing and burning of eczema, heals all
sores, boils and eruptions, and every
ailment due to impure blood.
GREATEST, Because it conquers dys-
pepsia by toning and strengthening
the stomach, cures rheumatism by
neutralizing the acid in the blood,
overcomes catarrh by removing the
scrofula taints that cause it.
GREATEST, Because of the greatest
cures, greatest merit, greatest sales,
greatest hold upon the confidence of
the people as an honest medicine
which cures when all others fail.
