A JOCKEYS INCOME.

For the past two years George Odom, the leading jockey of America, has been under contract to Captain s. s. Brown, the Pittsburg millionaire, who pays him an annual retainer of S15.- 0OO Then he sells what is known on the turf as second calr' to John Mad den, for an amount approaching half of the first contract price. When neither owner is starting a horse, Odom has the privilege of accepting outside mounts. From this source a rider of his skill accumulates as much money as he receives from regular contracts. In gifts and prizes in spe- cial races he receives an additional amount. Odom cannot give the exact figures of his income this season un- til. at the end of the year, he has sum med up his outside amounts and per quisites. Safely, he may count $3O,- 900 as the figure which he may credit for one year of wearing the silks and satins, and riding American racehorses to splendid and, sometimes, unexpected victory. The figures will startle you,
 and at first you will be much inclined
 to wonder. Then as you look at his attentuated figure and the old. old face, and note the heaViness of his speech and the sometimes pathos of his voice, then it Is thrust in upon you that, after all, at twenty-one it is hardly worth while; and that George Odom. the jockey, earning more each year than directors of great human events, is un-
 derpaid. The reward doesn't seem to

Our national constitution recognizes the right of petition. An altar $ a prayer in wood or stone. A sacrifice is a symbol of prayer.

AN INDEPENDENT TELEPRONE
 SYSTEM.
Superior Telephone Service at Reduced
 Rates Offered to Phoenix People.

70 the People of Phoenix and Vicinity:
 Commencing today, the agents of the Phoenix Independent Telephone con- pany will call on telephone users, ami those desirous of becoming users, for the purpose of securing subscribers to the proposed new and independent tel ephone system of the company above named. The new company proposes to install a new and greatly improved sys- tenn, With full metallic circuit, al in- struments on main lines, using only the newest and most improved equip ment and the latest and best devices. The phones themselves will be of the newest and most expensive, and the methods will Ee up to date and in Inc with the most progressive in the coun- try. It will be, as a system, inconpar- ably superior to anything heretofore in stalled in this territory.
 The new enterprise will be under the direct management and supervision of Mir. H. M. Joy, a telephone expert of long practical experience and a highly successful operator in the independent field. The proposition he'd out by his company is purely a business one; it proposes to carry on business for the reasonable profit it will yield at req SOi%ADle IdleS, dHC NlIn aDSOluIe T6- lief from any feature of monopoly CT combination. While not offe. ing something for nothing. the new com pany proposes to afford this communi- ty superior service and very reasonable rates, and in assurance of it's good faith, it invites the public to compare the rates given below, and take into consideration that these reduced rates will secure better service by far than has heretofore been enjoyed in this city. It will pay the company and the public that nothing in the line of equipment be used but the latest and best. While the first cost may be rather more, it is far more convenient. and in the end more economical of op
 eration ard maintenance. Therefo.e e, no old stock or appliances will be used. Everything will be new. With the eX- ception Of long-distance stations, no party-lines will be used-all other phones will be on the main lines.
 The charges will be:

the things that attracted me to Theo'- dore Roosevelt long before he had b. come famous, that he was a beli=ver in the gospel of will. Nothing is mo e certain, humanly speaking, than this: That what man wills himself to Le, that he will be. Is he willing to put it all on getting rich, rich he will get to find his riches turning to ashes in his dead hands. Will he have power, knowledge. strength? They are all within his grasp.
 The question for him to decide Is whether they are worth giving up q life 10, and having decided to give it to his ambition.
 In MT. Roosevelts Essay on True American Ideals he says: "Tlere is not in the world a more ignobla chnrlc- ter than a mere mCney-getting Ameri- can-insensible to every duty, IegGr5- less of every principle, bent only on amassing a fortune and putting his fortune only to the basest of uses whether these uses ba to speculate m stocks and wreck railroads himsslf. or to allow his son to lead a life of fool ish and expensive idleness and gross debauchery, or to purchase some scoundrel of high social position, for eISH OI ndIlNe' TOT HIS uduSHteF.
 Prayer means power. A man who really prays is a man who wants some thing and is not afraid to repeat his prayer a thousand times; wh se thought is, "I will not let thee go, eX- cept thou bless me-" Jesus said, "J pray rot fo" thee alone, but for all those who shall believe on me through their word" If you believe Cn him, that Dra yer waa for VOL

seach for work he went into this par ticular fouse and so impressed the proprietor with his desire to make him self useful that he was given the job of booster" on the spot and was hur- riedly instructed as to the nature Cf the work. He filled that place very acceptably and earned the commenGa- ton of the proprietors of all the games, but all the time he felt .hat he ought not to take their money until he had acquired a technical kroWl- edge of the business of boosting. He kept soliciting pointers from all Of them until at last one of them tulG him that while he himself knew all aLCut boosting he was so busy that .ie could not step to tell him.
 He suggested to the booster nat he buy a copy of "The Boosters Guide" That was the very thing he wanted: that was the source of the tec,IicAl knowledge for which he had teen thirsting, but he had not bean aN:,re that there was any literature ol the subject of boosting.
 He hurried off to the nearest book store, but the astonished clerk told him that he had. never heard of ''1 he Boosters Guide" He had no doubt. though, that the store could get II Tor him, but 1t would take a week or so. That wouldn't do; the booster wanted il right away. He went to another book store and still to another. That particular scientific work was not in stock, but clerks offered to send for it. The booster returned to the gambling house and spoke disparag gingly cf the meager stocks of books kept m hand by the Phoenix book dealers. He was told that there was a book sto,e in the neighbor hood of Five Points ard no doubt "The Boosters Guide" could he procured there. He went to Five Points, but could not locate even he book store. He went back to ne carl- bling house again and was advised to try the secondhand stores. The gamblers told him that a copy of '''Vra Boosters Guide" which he might find there would probably be not quite up- tc-date, but it would Le bette,' than none at all.
 The booster made circuit of al the secondhand stores and Dawashops without result. He was finally told ! that barber had a copy and re-haps he might borrow il. He went to the barber, who had never heard jf tke ture of it was described to him. ke too. became interested and commissioned the booster to buy him a copy also. Some time yesterday afternoon the | booster began to suspect that The 1 Boosters Guide" was out of print if it | had ever been in print.

 Luke begins and ends his gospel with prayer. In the first chapter we read that the multitude of the people were praying without the temple while Zacharias was offering sacrifice With in. In the last chapter we find tn record that Jesus led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his ha- 5 and blessed them"

Mr.. Roosevelt in the Project

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 27. -
Prof. Charles Waldstein, professor of
fine arts in Kings college, Cambridge,
England, who came here on the invita-
tion of Secretary Hay, and.is the latters
guest, was entertained at luncheon to-
day by President Roosevelt. Secretary
Hay accompanied him. Prof. Wald-
stein gave the president an earnest in
vitation to join in an international
movement to accomplish the thorough
excavation OF Herculaneum. The plan,
it was explained, does not involve gov
ernmental aid.
Prof. Waldstein gave lecture today
before the Washington Society of the
Archaeological Institute Of America.
He explained that Herculaneum never
had been as thoroughly explored as
Pompeii and his idea now was, through
international cooperation, to accom-
plish that result. The movement, it
was explained, has already begun in
different countries of the world, the
emperors of Germany and Austria and
the kings of italy and Great Britain
having expressed their interest and
hearty support.

BULLION GIVES OUT
Dearth of Small Silver Coin IS
Threatened

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27.-John H.
Lands. superintendent of the United
States mint in this city, announced to-
day that the available silver bullion
of the country has been exhausted.
Unless congress takes prompt action
to relieve the situation by authoriz-
ing the purchase of more silver bullion
for coinage purposes or by accepting
q suggested temporary remedy, he
said, commerce will be greatly ham,.
pered next year as a result of $10,-,
100000 shortage in small silver coin.
The prevailing conditions of the coun-
try's collateral also entails wholesale
discharges of mint employees, to take
effect on Jan. 1, and unless relief is
obtained from congress the regular
mint force will be cut down to a nom
snal number within the next few
months.
Silver bullion said Mr.. Lands,
shas been exhausted because Of the
coming of our useless hoard Of $685.
O00,O 900 standard dollars. for which
there has never been any real popular
demand. At the same time, with no
available silver bullion, there is an
urgent demand for $10.000,000 minor
5 Asidiary coin, without which the
country's commerce will be greatly
hampered next year. The government
is, therefore. facing conditions which
will compel it either to go into the
markets and resume the purchase Of
silver bullion for coming purposes or
else recoin a portion of its stock of
silver dollars into subsidiary silver
pOin.''
