The, president sneered and walked
away, and Tuck, biting at the ends
Of his blonde mustache, shufaed away
to the stables. s
However, there were seven entriea
announced and posted on the day
of the election, and everybody
laughed at the seventh, for it read:
Trigger Tail, ridden by Mr.. Jack
son." Even his friends guyed Tuck
a good deal, for he wasn't horse
man at all and his ''stable" consisted
of nothing better than a spawned
hackney and a half broken polo pony.
They told him he'd make show OF
himself, but he paid no attention till
the other six entries, all full grown,
well groomed thoroughbreds, bearing
their proud owners, were saddled
and ready for the bell.
When it rang Tolliver, splendid in
white duck, led the procession ION
Posthorn, the favorite, the other five
prancing after him in true race

"Jackson! Jackson!" shouted the
fashionable gallery in the little grand
stand, laughing and cheering for the
'joke" of the day. y.
sSsAt the last moment, just as the SIX
were cantering back to The starter,
the paddock gate swung open and
Trigger Tail, lean, fiery, little
broncho, with a tail like a whisk-
broom, darted down to the Judges
stand. Tolliver almost fell off his
horse as he saw Jackson for the
rider was Harry, the red-headed
midget, instead of Tuck, his giant
cousin.
Tuck's friends howled with delight
when this vision dawned upon them.
When Harry's weight pounds
was posted they went round and laid
all kinds of odds on Trigger Tail.
The women, who suspected nothing
serious in all this funny preparation,
laughed at the pony and his tiny
rider as if it was all very fine joke.
But Tuck, who looked preternaturally
solemn, sat still in the grand stand
chewing the handle of his cane.
The track was third of mile in
circumference and the distance for the
race was. a mile-three times round.
The field got away at the first break
and came laundering down past the
stand, with Posthorn and two others
leading, the second choices aligned be-

Martyr himself was an invalid
through childhood: Afterward by a
scientific course he became one Of
the champion amateur athletes in
this country. Her father holds the
single-arm record of the world for
lifting, and holds the record to-day
of this country for heavy lifting. do.
ing many tasks which, it is said, even
Sandow does not attempt. He can
lift 1864 pounds dead weight from
the floor. During the years that he
studied at Columbia college he held
the amateur record for short-dis-
lance running. .,.
His little girl has inherited in many
respects the strength of her father,
and delights in doing feats which
many athletes are unable to perform.
One of her feats is to lie PROSTATE on
the floor and allow her father who
weighs 176 pounds, to stand upon her
chest. She can stand upon her head
for an indefinite time, and is a won
.lerful contortionist. With her head
on the edge of one chair and heels on
another she lies inert between them
and holds 3o-pound weight upon her
stomach. Her own weight is only "a
pounds. She can hang for almost an
indefinite time by the toes or fingers.
These are only few of the feats
Of strength of this two-and-a-half-
year-old girl baby. Many children of
the same age are just learning to
walk.
In addition to this Gladys speaks
three languages well enough to make
her ordinary wants known in any of
them. She sings and reads music.
In an article on 'Woman's Physical
Development DR. Martyr gives the
following summary of the rules laid
down in training his baby:
/. Absolutely regular hours for
eating and sleeping.
3. No hot, facilitating baths; but
every morning a bath at the tempera-
ture of the body, and every evening a
cool bath.
4. From day of birth series of ex-
ercises have been gone through with,
of course very gently and in a most
incipient way. At first the mere sug-
gestion of the exercise was used in
c1easing day by day, until at four
months the child knew her move
ments, and what was required of her.
To-day she puts as much vim and en-
ergy in her exercises and strength
tests as an adult.
DR.. Martyr sums up the results of
his training as follows:
l. The child has never had an
hours sickness. She knows nothing
of the many supposedly necessary in
fantile and childhood ailments.
2. In face and form she is perfect.
3. Her fine muscular development
speaks for itself.
tied.
5. And the best result is that a
sound body has given an unusually
sound mind. A child two and half
years old, familiar with three lam
guages quick at more than baby
repartee, able to sing both words and
music correctly of a score of melo-
dies, is somewhat of an exception.
Hanging suspended from bar and
extending the legs at right angles
from the body is severe test for any
athlete. It illustrates the strength
of ordinarily unused muscles of the
