body discovered that Jones was g mem-
Der OF the cotton balins trust, which Is
exacting a rich tribute from the cotton
growers OF the south. Jones went into
this enterprise ION the ground floor. :"
Next somebody published book and
called it .srhe Second Battle which
contained many extracts from the free
silver speeches OF w. j. Bryan and
other advocates Of the white metal. The
title of the work, as well as the table of
contents, pleased Chairman Jones, who
was familiar with the first battle" as
described by William Jennings Bryan.
and he wrote a nice letter commenting
1t to the faithful. Millions Of copies Of
the work the enterprising publisher be-
gan to SOW broadcast over the land.
And then, and not until then, did the
mortified Jones discover that The Sec
sond Battle had been set up and printed
in a "scab. printing office by "scab'
compositors and pressmen, and that or
ganized labor was up in arms about it.
More recently the ire OF foreign born
American citizens has been aroused by
the discovery that in speech delivered
before the Arkansas legislature on jan
uary 90 1897. Senator Jones had de-
scribed them as Ignorant foreigners, z
and said of them
Hundreds of thousands of ignorant
foreigners, who We're here taking the
bread out of the mouths of honest la
Dor, voted at the last election at the
dictation of McKinley's supporters.
These foreigners comprise fully one
half of the number Of votes received BY
Mr. .dckinley.'
Not content with this statement.
Chairman Jones outlined for his Arkan-
sas auditors this hope of democratic
success in 1900:
Can there be any doubt as to which
shall prevail, the SIN and one hall mii-
lions of intelligent Bryan voters or the
three and one-half millions of foreign
ers who voted for McKinley?''
Small wonder that Bryanite who
was moralizing on these incidents the
other day remarked:
Jones is not only the Jonah. but the
Handy Andy of our party.

AN OLD JOCKEY TO RETIRE.
Only Thirty-seven Years Old, He Is
Called the ''Grand Old Man" OF the

Charles a. Thorpe called the Grand
Old man" of the p.gskin. ends his career
as a jockey at the conclusion of racing in
California this spring Thorpe is thirty
seven years of age He has been in the
saddle over twenty-five years. During the
last ten years he has found It necessary
TO keep in constant training in order to
keep his increasing avoirdupois from max
ing him a second P-ckwickian fat boy.
This severe training and innumerabe hot
baths have Slapped his vitality. He finds
that nature will not stand the strain any
longer, and will give his vocation up at
the expiration Of his contract with Burns
& Waterhouse.
Thorpe's career has been a varied one.
Born in Chicago, he moved while Quite
young to Iowa. Soon after his father took
up his belongings and settled in Nebraska
1t was in this State that he learned how
to sit in saddle properly, and. small as
he was. he soon became an able assistant
''cow-puncher."
Just as Thorpe was growing tired Of his
hard riding life and was thinking serious
ly of running away and joining a circus,
A. c. Tucker, Kansas horseman, drlfted
along. He had a weu-bred mare with him
which he called Belle X Noting young
Thorpe's ability in the saddle. he engaged
Charley to look after her and ride her
around in the fairs and bushes.
For three successive seasons the names
of Belle X and Thorpe were household
words in Nebraska. Since then Thorn. has
been very busy riding for prominent own
ers without seasons rest.
