tiary White visiting Moundsvile and
Wheeling. nor on any of the other gifts at
his disposal. He is besieged by the faith
full everywhere personally. through friends
and by mail. He said he was amazed by
the host of applicants for the game war
denship, now held by James II. Marcum
of Huntington, which pays only 81. 200 a
year. and from the tenor of his remarks it
could be cleaned that the Office will go to
a pan now resident in an interior county
where there are still fish in the streams and
game on the wooded ridges. rather than
to the upper Ohio valley counties. A. A.

Plant is by no means the only jockey
who is supersitious. AS matter Of fact
most Jockeys carry talismans in one from
or another. These range from bits OF
straw and horseskin. acquired IN some
curious manner, to jeweled whips and
diamond pins presented by owners.
A certain Newmarket stable appren-
tice who has ridden several winners this
wear never rides without holding In his
mouth a piece of straw. about three
inches long, which he found while in the
stable one day on the back of the first
horse he was asked to ride in race. For
some unaccountable reason he REGARDED
the piece of straw as an omen of good
luck, more particularly after he won that
first race.
Bits of skin of famous racehorses OF

the past are very much priced by super
stitious jackeys, who would as soon think
of riding without saddle as without this
peculiar talisman. If bit of Skin can
not be obtained the jockey contents him
self with a few of the hairs out Of a
famous racehorse'S tail.
One well known jockey was in the habit
and so far as the writer is aware he
continues the habit today-of carrying
a small prayer book in his riding jacket.
Quite romantic story Is attached to this
mascot. 1t was sent to the jockey by an
old lady who, requiring certain sum OF
money to aid her daughter and not know
ing where to get it. had the idea of back
ing the horse ridden by this jockey.
She got friend to make the bet. and,
the horse winning, she obtained all the
money she required. Two or three days
later the jockey received the little prayer
book, with note explaining the cfrcum-
stances and saying 1t was the old lady
first and last bet. She would never for
get the jockey and asked him to accept
the prayer book as an emblem of good
luck And" said the jockey some time
ago. II firmly believe 1t has been my
good talisman. for / have been wonder
