COLONEL HAD A JAG.
One of Former Jockey Withers' Ex-
periences on the Track.
His Mount Was 500 to 1, Had Heat IN
His Credit, Bat Trainer Was
Over-Anxious and Got Him
Dead Drunk.

George Withers, who was a one time
one of the leading jockeys of the coun-
try, and is now in charge of Joe Yea
gers breeding farm at Atlantic, Ia,
called at the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune office before leaving for the
west.
The conversation drifted to the time
when he was in the saddle, and he was
asked if he had ever ridden a doped
horse.
Dope" said Withers, "was an un-
known quantity in my time, but did
ride a drunken horse once, and il was
a funny, and, l must say, expensive ex-
perience for me.
1T happened in the SOS. was wired
10 come to Pimlico. as the race track
near Baltimore was called, TO ride a
horse by the name of Bob Cook, which
was owned by George NJ. Rye. Rye was
one of the characters of the turf at
that time, and Bob Cook was pretty
fair sort of a horse. l missed train
connections and arrived toolate to ride
the horse for the particular race that
l was wanted for. But I picked up
a mount on a horse called Col. Clark,
that was entered in a heat race. Burch
was an overwhelming favorite for the
race, and my mount was a 100-tO-1
shot. The Dwyer brothers had a horse
in the race by the name of Bradford,
and he was ridden by Jimmy McLaugh-
lin.
well, we went to the post for the
first heat and Burch got running
start, and I just trailed along with the
Colonel. Right in front of me was Nc
Laughlin with the Dwyer trick. AS
we neared the stretch I thought I
would feel my horse out, and the way
he closed up surprised me. McLaugh-
lin let out a link on his. too. but from
what l saw / felt that l held him safe.

ing Of a Florence Crittenton home and
hospital for friendless women and
children in Bismarck, at an early day,
d feature of which will be the care and
finding homes for abandoned children.
1t is hoped that every lady in Bismarck
will take a personal interest in the
matter. Suitable property has been
secured and it is expected that Presi-
Dent Crittenton, with his evangelist
car, Good News" will be here to as
sist in the opening of the home.
, A W. R. C. Member: AT the annual
meeting of the board Of trustees of the
state soldiers home Col. w. W. Nell
vain and his estimable wife, Mrs. Helen
R. McIlvain, were reappointed COM
mandant and matron, respectively.
The state is to be congratulated on
having these important officers so eff
GENTLY filled. Mrs. McIlvain is a
woman in a thousand, and is greatly
loved and respected by all connected
with the home, being kind, energetic
and just. She is a leading member
of the patriotic w. r. C. auxiliary to
the G.. A. r. of Lisbon, and it has al
ready been suggested in different local
titles Of the state that she would make
IN ideal president of the w. R. G. de-
partment for the coming year.

stacles to overcome the committee of
twenty-five who guaranteed the 500
