THE IDOL OF THE TURF.
The Most Popular Jockey in America

art's Dyspepsia Tablets.

No jockey has ever appealed so strong
ly to public favor as Tod Sloan.
He has achieved more than his most
noted predecessors ever attempted and
stands in a class by himself.
Not satisfied with his successes in his
native country, he went to England and
now his fame as a successful horseman
is on tin of every tongue not only in this
country and England. but in every sec
ton of the globe where racing has found
favor.
When Tod first went to England his te-
merity was openly laughed at, but the
little American played skittIes with his
English rivals and his vic tories made all
England gasp.

extent that would turn an ordinary NOR

The great jockey was I'm such demand
socially and dined and wined to such an
extent that it was feared his health would
give way. Too much society and the
nervous strain of racing told on him.
A two weeks trip to America made him
acquainted with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets and their remarkably restorative eff
fects on depleted digestive apparatus
and he recommended them in unstinted
terms to a friend, saying "Stuarts Dys-

MYTHS AND LITTLE MYTH-MAKERs
Children's ImaGinatiOns Discussed
by Kindergarten Class

Myths and the small Myth Makers in
Our Homes" was the subject discussed
at the tenth meeting of the kindergarten
class yesterday.
The wonderful tales children tell were
first spoken of, tales that the mother
knows have no foundation. A well known
Savannah physician used to call this
phase of childhood the DEVELOPMENT of
BrokaWs convolutiCn in the train" and
would on no account allow the children
Of his household to be checked in this
propensity as it was interfering with ma
ture.
This overflow of Imagination said
Miss Backus has nothing to do with in
herent ideas Of truth, or truth telling and
must never be COMPOUNDED. If a child says
to you, mama, I saw great black bear
in the park with red eyes and long claws
and it jumped out from behind a tree at
me, ." he is compiling a myth from some
occurrence that suggested it, possible a
shadow or even simply the light of a
tree that might be good place for a bear
to hide behind, and should be listened to
with great attention, and told what a
funny story it is, or asked if he made it
all up himself, but if a child says that
he did not take the jam off the pantry
shelf when you know that he did it is
be dealt with as untruthfulness.
Miss Backus read a collection of her
own, showing the myth making propen-
sity of children, under years old, ex-
pressed in their ideas of sun, moon and
stars, heaven and God, showing how uni
Versal This mythic period is in a child S
life. Then it was shown that the reason
for this is to be found in the fact that
the child parallels the race experience in
his own life, and extracts from Miss
Blows symbolic education were read to
prove this fact.
IAN this, said Miss Backus, has very
practical lessons for us. We must not ex-
pect children to be little ladies and gen
temen' with finished manners when they
are in the stage our forefathers were be
fore they We're semi-civilzed. We must
listen carefully and patiently to their i'm
aginative Wauderings and lead them to
see that they are such, and not realities.
Above all, we must give the child a
chance to find himself in the woods and
streams, with mud houses and brick
ovens, bows and arrows, drums and
trumpets and primitive implements and
instruments in order to fit him for his
place in the twentieth century,"
