San Francisco, Feb. 9.-Tod Sloane,
probably the best lightweight jockey
in the world. to-day sought after by
his royal highness, the Prince of Wales
Lord Beresford. the Jersey Lily and
others of the cream Of the turf follow
ers in the British Isles has given the
option to Trainer Johnnie Campbell of
the first call on his services during the
balance OF the winter season at Oak
land and laglsside. The announce
ment means everything that is good
from sportsman's standpoint and
probably n brilliant close to a season
that opened most disastrously for II.
l.. Franks stable. There is no doubt
that Tod's ambition to be classed as
the greatest jockey of this or any other
day was keenly whetted by his success
on the English turf. His success at
home from now until the close of his
contract With Fleischman in October
means engagements across the water
at figures unprecedented in the history
of the turf. so there can be no question
that the Frank horses will get the
greatest rides ever put UP by the
diminutive Tod Thorpe the Martins

To shine as Sloane, SO there is reason
for congratulations on the part of every
lover OF genuine equine sport now do

the Frank stable are in almost per-

BEECHER TO HIS SON.

From a letter once written to
his son by the famous preacher,
we take the following wise hints,
which are good for all young
men-and women too:
You must not 60 in debt.
Avoid debt as you would the
devil.
Make few promises. Relig-
iously observe the SIN allie s
promise. A person who means
to keep his promises, cannot
afford to make many,
Be scrupulously careful in all
statements. Accurancy and
perfect frankness, no guess work.
Either nothing or accurate
truth.
When working for others, sink
yourself out Of sight; seek their
interest. Make yourself neces-
sary to those who employ you,
by industry, fidelity and scrupu-
lous integrity. Sellishness is
fatal.
Hold yourself responsible for a
higher standard than any one
expects of you, Keep your own
standard high. Never excuse
yourself to yourself. Never pity
yourself, Bo a hard master to
yourself, but lenient to every
body else,
Concentrate your force on
your own business; do not turn
OIL be constant, steadtast, per-
serving,
Any industrious and intelli-
gent young man, in this country,
can cQmulate quiet a deal Of
wealth if ho stops all leaks and
is not in a hurry, Do not make
haste; be patient,
Do not speculate op gamble.
Steady patient industry is both
the surest and safest way,
Greediness and haste are two
deyils that destroy thousands
