ten when riding faint-hearted horse,
who has been challenged at the dis
lance right and left, have / felt him
going to turn it up on hearing the
crack OF the whips and the roar of
the crod lining, the rails. Mark you
he hasn't actually begun to stop, but
somehow or other you can almost
guess his thoughts which are some
thing of this sort: Getting a good
hiding is no fun; and what on earth
are these two men on each side of
me making such palaver with their
whips for; and why are all these peo-
pie making such a horrible noise and
shouting themselves hoarse? This
isn't good enough, so l shall just
drop out and let the others do the
work
That is the moment when one has
to pretend to a horse that he isn't
beaten, and although it is agony to
sit down and suffer without taking up
your whip, you yet feel that were you
to do SO he would stop as if shot.
The suspense is terrible for the last
few strides, as the jockeys on each
side sit down and ride desperately,
and, maybe, at the finish one is beaten
by hand. Why didn't he take up his
whip?' says the man in the stand,
and perhaps the jockey is blamed for
riding bad race, when actually he
has never ridden better in his life.
No one can see horse turning it up
until he actually does so, but a jock
ey can feel it, and that is much
worse. Still, it is only just another
of those things practice teaches one
to divine.
But how about the. dangers of race
riding?" asked the writer, who re-
membered two occasions when
horse was within an ace of falling
over the rails with its jockey, who
would almost to certainty have been
killed on the spot. Hardened race
goers griped their glasses more
firmly, men with usually iron nerves
held their breath, ladies shut their
eyes or screamed, as for a fraction OF
a second the Jockeys mount seemed
to almost totter on the edge of the
rails. But suddenly, in some miracul-
GUS manner, it recovered itself. Sure
ly," said the writer, the suspense
must have been agonizing?
The jockey yawned.

NO GAMBLING IN OKLAHOMA.
Thrifty Eastern Farmers Have Driven
Out the Men Who Once Ran II.

Thrifty Eastern Farmers Have Driven
Out the Men Who Once Ran It.
The Kansas City Star-Today
there are not five towns in Oklahoma
of any Importance here gambling is
conducted as openly as it was six
years ago. AS late as 3 years ago the
biggest games ever seen in the terri
tory were running in Oklahoma
City, though confined to upper floors
or easements. During the last two
months all the boss gamblers in Okla
homa City upon whom the law could
lay its hands have been put in Jail
and kept there. They had violated
injunctions prohibiting them from us
ing certain buildings for gambling
purposes. Guthrie has been without
its big games for more than a year
The change is due to activity
among religious organizations, pub
lie sentiment that rests upon practi-
cal as well as moral grounds and the
displacement of certain adventurous
pioneer citizens by more conservative
men and women from older commumi.
ties. The explanation of an old
time boss gambler, man who came
to Oklahoma at the opening, may
not be without interest. He said:
In my town in earlier years, when
gambling was under full Roadway,
the producers were mostly farmers.
These farmers were western men
who had been with the vanguard of
western sentiment all their lives.
They had no more hesitancy in gam
bling than they had in smoking a
cigar or taking a drink of whiskey.
They had been accustomed to 1t all
their lives. When one came to town
with a load of wheat he put the
money in his pocket, took his team to
a livery stable and went to restaur-
ant or hotel. Usually he would stay
in town all night. After supper he
would take a few drinks and then
saunter around gambling house, al
ways within easy reach and without
danger of raids. In many instances
he went home broke.
1.-THE agricultural prosperity In
Oklahoma in the last ten years
brought great advance in the value
of farm property. Farmers from
eastern and northern states began
coming to Oklahoma with bank ac-
counts. The original settler was
offered $4,000, $4,000 and sometimes
as high as $4,000 for his quarter
section of land, which to him seemed
more than the land was worth, and
he sold 1t and moved to other local..
ties. The new owners had prac-
tised economy all their lives. They
had lived in communities where
gambling was not tolerated"
When these farmers come to town
they bring produce with their wheat
or corn, and basket OF lunch to
save going to a restaurant They de-
post their money in bank. In
stead of taking their horses to a
livery stable, unless the weather is
bad, they feed them from wagon
box. This kind OF thing is not
profitable for the gambling business,
but it has happened in my portion of
the territory and I believe that it has
happened elsewhere"
