A Jockeys Sensation when Riding.

A Jockeys Sensation when Riding.
Elf you ride with your head down.
that is to say, bent slightly, so that the
wind does not beat right on to your
face-you can breathe easily, but if you
hold your mouth wide open and let the
air beat right in your face then you
will have great difficulty in breathing,
and if the race is long one you will
become exhausted by the end of the
ride" So said Il we'll known jockey
when questioned on the subject of
what his sensations were when riding
in q race.
"A mile race on n good horse is run
in about 1 minute and 40 seconds. \
mile in l minute and 40 seconds is at
the rate of SO miles an hour, so, you
see, q race horse travels at train speed.
IF you want to know how it feels to
go through the air at race horse speed,
just hang your head out of railway
carriage window, turning your face to-
ward the way the train is travelling.
At the same time imagine that you are
sitting in a saddle and have to hold on
to your horse and guide him on to vic
tory if possible, keeping him from be-
ing run down or interfered with.
at is no easy task to ride horse in
race. The jockey must have all his
wits about him. He does not have
much time to think how he feels. When
riding in Il neck and neck race down
the home stretch. / forget everything
except that / must strain every nerve
to pass the other horses. No thought is
then given to the plaudits from the
grand stand"

MASTER OF HIMSELF.
The Test Was n Unique One, but the
DSy stood II.

That was s. unique way in which Mr..
Smith, merchant of an eastern city
IN want of q boy, is said to have tested
the young applicants who came TO him.
He put 4 sign in his window: Wanted,
Boy; Wages 81; Sc to the Right One"
AS each applicant appeared the MGR
chant asked, "Can you read?' Then
he took the boy into quiet room, gave
him an open book and babe him read
without a break until told to stop.
When the reading had been going on
for few minutes. Mr.. Smith dropped
a book to the floor and then rose and
moved certain articles about the room.
This was sufficient to pique the curiosl-
ty of some of the candidates. They
looked up, lost their place on the page,
Numbered, and the merchant said:
"You may stop. I shall not need you
at present. 1 want q boy who is mas
ter of himself"
If the reader was undisturbed by Mr..
Smiths movements, n lot of rOguish
puppies were tumbled out of Il basket
and encouraged to frolic about the
floor. This proved too much for most
of the boys. They looked, hesitated
and were dismissed.
Boy after boy underwent the same
treatment until over 80 had been tried
and had failed to control their curiosi-
ty. At length. one morning, a boy read
steadily on without manifesting any
desire to look at the puppies.

"Did you see those puppies?"

not see them and read too"
You knew they were there"
Yes, sir
Are you fond of dOgsT
Yes, sir"
"AlI right. ] think you will suit me"
said the merchant. Come tomorrow.
Your wages will start at 81, and If you
prove master of yourself, as l think
you will, you shall have SO, perhaps
more"

wages were Sc, and promotions follow

PRICES OF LAND.

Improved lands, with government title and water right, can be bought for from S20 to $50 per acre, according to location and im- provements. In the immediate neighbOr- hood and to the south of the Casa Grande ruins there are thousands of acres covered with a heavy growth of mesquite timber yet open to settlement. These are among the choicest in the valley. Water in inexhausti ble quantity is found at depth of from twenty to thirty feet in fact, river seems to be flowing underneath. Here is splen- did opportunity to take up and improve land with a pumping system of irrigation, which is said to be successful on small tracts.

Unlike the Salt river, the waters of the .illa are fresh and pure; the soil contains no Allxah, is a deep, rich gray ash, especially almond, peach, fig, pear, apricot and fruits of all kinds, which pay largely on the invest ment. It is also the natural home of alfalfa, which grows in the most prolific manner. The grape does exceptionally well in this valley, and wine and raisin culture is destin- ed to become prominent industry. Citrus fruits have been cultivated to a limited extent; there are number of orange trees in the neighborhood of Florence which bear their golden fruit each year without pro- tection, and few date palm trees are also in full bearing. The season is from six weeks to two months earller than Southern Califor- mia, which gives fruit growers an appreciat- ed advantage in

Great changes have been made in the appearance of this part of the valley during the last four years.

It is useless to deny that under our present water system there is nothing like a suiti- cient water to irrigate this vast body of land

Florence is at an elevation of 155S feet above sea level, situated near the Gila river, twenty six miles northwest of the railroad station of Casa Grande, with which it Is connected by an elegantly equipped daily stage line. Going and coming stages run by the old Casa Grande ruins, and passengers arc allowed O short time to in- spect them. There are many handsome pri- vate residences in Florence, several brick stores, good hotel, excellent graded school employing four teachers, churches, secret societies, Commercial Club a news paper (the only one in the county, and the handsomest court house in the Territory Here is held the United States Court for the Pinal counties.
