A woMAN's WAY.

Jim alters 'peared T. be afraid
OF girls, an any saucy maid
Could with coquettlsh smile an sweet,
Make Jim blush red as any beet;
An so folks lookin out fer fun
Thought sure they'd see him cut an run,
An hide in some oil garnet dim.
When Molly set her cap fer him.
Wed heard how Mollte vowed that she
Would conquer JIm's timidity,
An jes' as sure as any fate,
Shed make him WOO her, soon er late!
But. KNOWN Jim so well, we thought
He'd leave the country. like as not,
An all agreed her chance was slim,
When Molly set her cap fer him!
But, somehow, all she done an said
In some way 'peared t. turn his head
An, lOokin' at her red lips, lush,
An blue eyes, he forgot to blusn!-
1t wasn't any time at all
Till he'd jes' come at beck an call
OF her, an, pshaw!-'twas good-by, Jim,
When Molly set her cap fer him!

Automobile Man TaI1s BACK.

1t is now urged by an automobiles
that those who drive about the coun-
try and complain that their horses
are frightened by the motor ears
have themselves in very large meas
ure to thank for their horses fright
None of them is so far removed from
the home of a motor car that he
could not send his horses over to
have feed of corn beside it and
so grow accustomed to the strange
thing; and no owner of a motor
car is so churlish that he would not
give permission for horses to go to
his stables and receive this lesson.
1t is suggested that if horse owners
had but the energy to see that this
was done once or twice their horses
would soon grow used to the motors.
In the French towns the horses have
already learned TO take no notice Of
them.

On a bicycle tour one should not be
hurried. An average run of so miles
daily will be found enough for pleas

last stone erected in the Sierra Paca- raima range of mountains that touch the southernmest point of the boundary between the two countries.
 But it is the beginning of such a work, quite as much as it's comple- tion, that marks step forward in our civilization. The acceptance by England of the intervention of this country into the affair was distinct victory for the United States, and es- tablished more firmly than ever our right to the enforcement of the Mon- roe doctrine that makes us the pro- tector of the weak Of the new world against the strong of the old.
 A glance at the map and the eX- planation which accompanies this ar ticle will give fairly comprehensive idea of the difficulties that confront ed the court of arbitration to which this boundary question was referred. England claimed a wide stretch of territory beyond the Schomburgk line, of which we heard so much dur ing those exciting days when peace or war hung in the balance, while Venezuela, even more ambitious than England, laid claim to broad tract of territory that comprised more than half of British Guiana.
 The world, and especially America, quick to search for a reason for the dispute, laid the trouble, and the ex- tensive claims of England, to the newly discovered gold fields that were located in the disputed territory. We called England many harsh names, but a second glance at the map will prove the fact that Vene- zuela was claiming much more gold producing territory that the court of arbitration has decided rightfully belonged to England than that coun- try was claiming of Venezuela. Not only were the gold fields in dispute, but the virtual control of the great Orinoco river as well. The original

Jeffries Tells His First Love Story
 Marvin Hart, the Louisville Fighter,
 a Big Fellow-Choynski Still Lan-
 guishes in Jail
 It appears that Louisville has fur nished a pugilistic surprise to the world. It is in the form of a middle weight named Marvin Hart, who had not been heard of six months ago. Statements have frequently been sent out from Louisville to the effect that Hart was a likely candidate for cham pionship honOrs, but these assertions have been set down to an over-ween- ing local pride. However, Hart has shown his mettle, and must now be considered a most dangerous aspirant for the niddleweight championship.
 Any man who can lay Australian Jim Ryan in his little cot in eight rounds is worthy the respectful consid- eration of all the best middleweights. Including Champion Ryan. It is re- ported that Hart not only won decis- lively, but also in the face of foul tao tics on the part of his opponent The.

BIG EXODUS OF JOCKEYS.
The Reiffs, Cash Sloan and Five 9th
 CTS Sail on the Oceanic.

Seven jockeys sailed yesterday on the Oceanic to seek honorS on foreign tracks and the crowd which gathered in the companiOnway of the White Star liner to bid them bon voyage SavOred largely of the race track. This is the record for outward bounC riders and the number leaving Was further increased by the sailing of Elmer James on the New York.
 Lester and Johnny Reiff, who will ride for Haggin'S stable. were objects of especial interest. Lester has be- come engaged since he has been here and will be married. when he returns in the fall, to tie daughter of Dr H. E. Rowell, an owner and trainer at Oakland. The elder Reiff said before sailing that he thought the effect Of the large exodus of American jockeys would result shortly in q counter in- vasion of this country by English lads He thinks that the competi- tion will improve the English jockeys and that if they come here they will be as successful proportionately as our boys are now on the other side.
 The remarkable feature of the sail ing yesterday is the number of jock eys that are bound for Austria. Mor gan, who was so successful there last year, was the leader of this brigade. He was accompanied by his wife and will again ride for Count RohoncZy. Eddie Jones also sailed. He will ride for Dr Dreher. rich Austrian brew CT. Jones took along with him Erb- small. an eighty-poand boy. Ars ria is also the destination of Tony Hamil- ton. who sailed on the 11ahn on Tues day. Taral. Doggett and Ballard are also on their way to the new hunting ground. and Eddie Ross, the Pacific coast boy, who is going shortly, will make a total of eight Americans in Austria next season. Cash Sloan and his wife were also on the Oceanic. He said to reporter that he may not ride in France this season, as he is nego- tiating With two parties in England from whom he may receive better terms: failing that he will cross the Channel and wear the colors of the Duke de Gramont and Baron Leonins With regard to the plans of Tod Sloan, Cash said:
 '.No one knows what he will do ex- cept himself, and no credence should be placed in reported interviews with him."
 The old fnvorite coloredArider, Willie Sims completed the contingent on the Oceanic. He has been engaged to ride for NJ. Picard in France Tom Shar- key was among those who assembled son the dock to say goodbye to the jockeys.

southeast until it again joins the original line at Mount Enkenam, in the Sierra Pacaraima range.
 It is evident that the court at- tempted simply to compromise, as it seemed virtually impossible to settle the case upon it's merits, and in ef- fecting such a compromise an effort was made to follow natural boundary lines as far as possible. This latter fact will greatly aid the commission CTS from the two countries who are now erecting the boundary stones, as there is but comparatively a small part of the long line that is not marked by rivers.
 It is quite probable also that con- siderable new and valuable informa- tion regarding the resources of this almost unexplored and undeveloped country may be ascertained by the commissioners as they work their way up the rivers, through the trop- ical forests, and over the high noun tain ranges.
 The gold fields, which were sup- posed to have figured so prominent ly in the controversy, remain practic- ally as they were, each government retaining the fields which they have been working for some years past, with the exception of one locality through which the original Schom- burgk line ran that has now been awarded to British Guiana But it de- prives England of the gold fields near Guacipati, which she claimed.
 Venezuela has yet other boundary 1 1. - boundaries have ever been definitely r fixed. Her claims of territory to the south and west are sadly mixed with those of Brazil, Colombia and Ecua- dor, but it is not probable that these claims will ever lead to serious diffi- culties, as before the time arrives when the disputed territory becomes of sufficient value to fight over it is

and the modified Schomburgk lines, of which we heard so much through the year 1895, gave to England hold upon the mouth of this stream that would mean the blocking of the com merce upon it if England so desired.
 It has been generally conceded that more common sense than documen- tary evidence was used by the arbi- tration court in the settlement of this long-standing dispute, though the boundary as finally fixed coin cides, except in two small particulars, with the line drawn in 184O by the British commissioner, Sir Robert Schomburgk. iAe joint claim over the mouth of the Orinoco had been the subject of continued diplomatic correspondence between England and VenAznela for years. and number of
