TO Idea of Music.

Colonel Burr, of Virginia, was > a
mighty fox-hunter, and loved the sport
beyond words. He owned a fine pack
of hounds, and, during the season,
thought of nothing but his hunters, his
dogs. and the weather. He was once
entertaining an army friend from Tex
as. whose ideas of hunting any animal
involved the use of firearms, and who
had never seen a foxrhound. He had
been with difficulty persuaded to go
forth one morning with the colonel and
some friends to a meet, and they were
waiting impatiently for the hounds to
take the scent. Presently there burst
upon their listening ears the din of thir-
ty canine voices in full cry. The col

his feet in the stirrups and stretched

JOCKEYS
What ARouies They Suffer "WastinGs
Themselves to Reduce Weight.

What ARouies They Suffer "wastinrs
Themselves TO Reduce Weight.
A prominent physician, IN a discus
sion of the superiority of the new meth
cd Of reducing the weight of Jockeys
by means Of coverings electrically heat
ed, says that probably no u under
goes such labor on such low diet as the
Jockey who is wasting himself so as
TO scale with another lucky fellow
whose nature runs less to fat. In the
hottest weather he piles ON clothes and
takes sharp walks. He labors hard,
and the more he sweats the more he
feels he has done his duty. Then comes
the muzzle. After the labor there Is
appetite; after the sweating there Is
thlfst-a raging thirst-but the food
must be strictly limited, and the drink
must be Of the smallest, or all the
labor would be for naught. The priva-
ton Is horrible. Training for condition
is bad enough, and has made many q
good fellow throw athleticism to the
dogs; but training for weight is a far
greater infection. = So many pounds
haye got to be got off, and there are
only so manytdays'or weeks In which to
do ii. 1T Is done by physic, by sweat
Ing, By hard labor, and by starvation.
A successful jockey Is envied by thou
sands; but on the other hand 1t must
DE remembered that there are few
Occupations which demand so much OF
sblf-deniaI, and entail such painful dis
clpline as hat of the Jockey. The or
deal comes when heis working himself
DOWN to scale. A man In ordinary con-
dltlon hardly varies in weight from day
ID day, and he may keep his weight
almost without change for months and
even years. It Is not so, however,
when training has brought down the
weight far below IT'S natural level.
Then every cell In the body seems hun
CRY and athirst, and a moisture Is
sucked up as by blotting paper. Many
break down under the strain, the star
walton telling on their nervous system
before it affects their flesh, while 9TH
ers throw up the e9ort rather han con-
tinue the misery Of starvation which Is
involved in keeping the sca1eSon the
right side. -

said the cid man.
The boy was 50 badly out of breath
that Il was a minute or two before he
could get wind enough to say, yep"
and somehow the old mar didn't seem
to regard the breathlessness as a par
heularly suspicious omen.
Ibid you lick hlmT n he asked.
MT" replied the boy, with that bril-
liancy OF repartee that is peculiar TO
boys.
81 guess you didn't follow your poor
old fathers advice" said the old man.
II suppose you thought you knew more
about 1t than he ever had a chance TO
learn and went at the other fellow with
some n~ew-fangled uppercnts or swings
or something of that sort and let him
get In under your guard while you were
figuring out the scientific points of some
new blow. Science Is all right, | sup
pose, In a fight by rounds, where there
have been all the usual preliminaries,
but I've seen the time when a scientific
fighter would get the tar licked out Of
him while he was getting his science
ready for use. Now, when / was a boy
and l saw there was n fight coming on
aimed to get in the first blow"
That's my way" said the boy.
1T Is, ehi" returned the old man.
"Well. l don't see how n boy a get
licked If he goes in on that system, I'M
less he's too easy with the first blow.
I tell you when l was a boy and the
old man began to get excited, my aim
was to swipe him first and swipe him
hard I'd just land him n over the
eye or under the chin and it would be
all over. YOU SEE, when you paste a
fellow in the ear you want o ,paste him
a hot one, and then
And then suppose ne lands ON a
brick pile?" interrupted the boy
"W-whati" asked the old man, rather
startled.
Suppose he lands on a brick pile
when you hit him and gets up with a
half a brick In each hand, what's the
next move In the system that never
failed when you were a boy?"
My boy" said the old man, severely,
after a minute of thoughtful, calm con-
sideration of the subject, fighting is a
bad business at best, and | am sur
prised that you should expect your
father to give you advice that would be
sure to lead you into trouble and very
likely would tend toward the cultiva-
ton of a boisterous, quarrelsome dispo-
sition. Now run out and play and don't
bother me ny more."-Chicago Post.
