The Modern Jockey.

From the New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser.
The jockey is an important creature.
There are plenty of men that can ride
horses; there are even a respectable
number that can race them with judS-
ment. but owing to the custom that has
grown up OF racing horses under
weights they would have to carry in
ordinary work, the number OF men that
can ride and race horses at the weight
called for by the Handicapped is very
small. In horse racing the thing 1e-
sired is extreme speed, and evidently
with 80 pounds up a horse can do far
better than with $50, hence no race
horse on the fiat Is required to carry
the weight Of an average man. This
state of affairs gives to midgets like
Tod Sloan and Maher an Importance
they would have in no other way, and
is perhaps natures way of compensa.-
ing them for their inferiority in size to
the ordinary man.
really successful jockey, as every
one knows, can almost command his
own price. Besides his regular salary,
which would pay those of several col
lege professors, he is likely to receive
gifts of several times the amount of
his salary after any winning race.
When an owner has won small for
tune, on a few seconds work of jockey
and horse. he is in an expansive mood
when the world looks large and seems
to be mostly in his own pocket. The
successful Jockey has, therefore, a
chance to earn competency as well
as much short-lived fame, IL he be
honest-but his honesty, unlike mans
innocence before the law, has to be
proved, rather than taken for granted,
unless disproved. His opportunities
and temptations for dishonesty are very
great, and neither his breeding nor his
education usually leads to the greatest
moral development.
If an owner after successful race is
willing to give his jockey a good bit of
money, a bookmaker, before a race,
to insure large winnings to himself, is
willing to be even more liberal with a
jockey open to inducements. And not
only jockeys, but starters, can be ma
nipulated so as to alter the results of
races. And the more easily that while
one is comparatively simple. Horse
racing presents curious circle: it can
not be made to pay without betting;
betting leads to all kinds of crooked
ness, and crookedness kills racing. In
England they seem to have outlived
our stage of disgust and of reform
sweep over racing. In England racing
has social standing it has not at
tanned here. Perhaps the larger leisure
class there has led a better and more
independent sort of men to take up
horse racing, one not in it for profit
alone and not to be bullied by those
that are.

of Windsor castle. Toys and gewgaws
in the royal nursery were limited, but
there never was any lack OF books.
Each child had its own miniature book
case. and was responsible for ITS being
kept in order, as well as for a periodical
report showing just how many and
what books had been read. This report
was submitted to the queen at the end
of every month. The children frequent
ly preferred to pass the time playing,
making out their list at random. but
We're invariably caught. In this re-
spect Princess Louise proved the worst
delinquent, and 1t is said that on an
average her royal highness spent a
whole day of each month in an empty
room as punishment for this offense
alone. On one occasion when a girl of
she had marked on her report of lit
erary food for the month few fairy
tales" THE Meditations Of Marcus Au-
relius" and The Life of Zwingd." The
queens suspicious being aroused she
questioned her daughter as to who
these personages WERE Unhesitatingiy
came the reply that Marcus Aurelius
had discovered America and Zwingli
was famous German actor. OF all the
queens children Princess Louise was
the most obstinate, and no matter what
punishment menaced the girl nothing
could induce her to give in had she once
determined to do otherwise. The queen.
annoyed at the children calling John
Brown by his full NAME announced to
the group that henceforth they should
say Mr. Brown" instead. A couple Of
days later Princess Louise entered the
sitting room where the Scotchman was
talking with her mother and greeted
him with a lusty, Good morning. John
Brown" Louise" said the queen, se-
verely. repeat that and you will spend
the remainder of THE day in bed" "Ah,"
responded the girl, II shall have to say
good night, then, John Brown. for
am going to bed. Good night. John
Brown. Good night, John Brown!" and
she f1ounced out of the room.

Royal children are very much like
others. The Duchess de Belimere makes
this plain in some stories she tells about
Queen Victoria and her progeny. The
queen, though kind, has been a some
what despotic mother and grandmother,
concerning herself perhaps more than
the average parent with the bringing
UP of her descendants. Besides care
fully supervising her childrens educa-
ton, selecting or approving their
friends and providing their husbands
and wives. she has vigorously controlled
their pin money, of which there never

BLACK JACK ESCAPED
Story of How a Deputy Did
 Net Are s. His Man

A cowboy came i, from the south erp country this week and told ihC l. ,rdburp Liberal what he -avs Is an old story regarding Sheriff McAfe". It will be remembered by many that at the tine the notorious "Black Jack" started out on his marauGinc career h. first held up the post office at Sepsr, and then with hi, gang started for Arizona, that MT. McAf.-, wbo was than deputy under Sheriff bringing D.ac!; J .ck back with iim. He returned in a few dave without his game. Now comes the story of what happened down there, as told ty Tom Anderson, one of the men whom McA!ee went to arrest. He esys McAfee came into the ranch house where the men had stopped, looked them over. picked cut Plack Jack, and ask ed him fl his name wa Black Jack. That ger t!enptn told McAfee he was often called by that name. McAfee, iDstead Of pulling his gun and ordering his hand. up. opensd his coat, commenced fumb- ling at the inHds pocket and told Back Jssk that he had some papsIs for him. Before he could get the papers out Black Jack was pointing a ixshooter at the largest part of Me- Afee's anatomy and told him to leave the pspers in his pocket, as he dii not want to see their. The pap rs never was shown. After holding up the officer Black Jack took him out to 'he horse, examined the rife he had on the saddle, admired 1t very much and appropriated it. He then told McA'ee to get on the horse and leave, which he i'm me di.teIy proceed ed to do. The outlaws often talked shis matter over, and wondered why McAfee went after the papers instead of his gun. The only way they could account for 1t wa. that McAfee con- cluded he was outclassed. and thought that if he pulled his gun ha would probably get killed, if be mad a talk he might bs able to induce him to surrender, ss this happened before ie become 50 notorious.
