HE WAS A WONDERFUL JOCKEY
Charles Taylor Rode His Last Race
at Age of sc and Was Model
Man.

Charley Taylor, veteran horseman,
died this winter at the age OF 1903. He
had made White River Junction. Vt,
his home about fifty years. He loved
horses as boy in Canada, sold and
handled them there and in the states
and finally became well-knoWn
driver on the racetracks of both coun-
tries.
Ii is estimated he won 70 per cent.
Of about Loo races. says the Yer
nonter He knew what his horses
could do in any event, was always
with them, even slept with them. He
rarely carried a whip, but urged them
by "A word He never abused an ami
NAL to have that come up against
him"
He was thorough in trities. His
habits were regular and exemplary,
He was always in condition 1t was
his quiet boast that he never lost Il
meal. never had cold or a doctor
never took a glass of liquor or used
tobacco. never used an oath or shook
dice lie never married His last race
was at the age of 50.
AS centenarian he drove exhibit
ton half miles at fairs. and even last
October at the state fair resented
proffered assistance when alighting
rom the suiky His mental and physt-
cal activities were surprising to the
last He did the chores. cared for the
garden and hens.
He would rarely sit down. and al
ways kept busy, saying; This Is

pneumonia carried Mr.. Taylor off at
last, though the attending physician
says he was out doors every day dur
ing the time and seemed recovering
until a relapse the day before his
death.

Autos with Doa Kennels.

The dog trotting eontentedly along
between or just back of the rear
wheels OF a carriage is one OF the
pleasant remembrances of the time
when the horse was supreme, but
horse and dog were both rudely dis
turbed by the advent of the automo-
bile.
Automobiles run too fast for dog
to trot along beside, and as there Is
not room within the autmobile for
anything larger than a lap dog the
coach dog had TO go.
One English automobile firm is now
manufacturing an automobile body
that opens at the back, disclosing a
roomy kennel for dogs. but 1t is prob
able that although better than nothing
at all this arrangement will not be
completely satisfactory to either dog
or masters.-Popular Mechanics.

New York, July S.-The lethargy OF

strated by the sluggish response to

this was partly due to the plain pre-

Of payment In the audit of the clerk S

In the handling of these moneys the
clerk of the Juvenile Court performs the
duties both Of q receiving and disbursing
officer. 1t is manifest that these two du-
ties, in order to afford the necessary safe
guards, should be separate and independ-
ent Of one another, and that the receiving
OF the funds and the disbursement of the
same should be performed by separate
officers. As long as the auditors office
must necessarily accept as conclusive, In

Of the court may furnish, this duty can
not be discharged with complete salts
faction.
This matter will be presented to Con
gTess with the view to obtaining the
necessary legislation requiring that all
moneys received by the clerk of the Juv-
emile Court in non-support cases be paid
into the Treasury of the United States
through the collector of taxes of the Dis
trict as an appropriated trust fund. and
that all the expenditures be made there
from by the disbursing officer of the Dis
trict on vouchers and payrolls prepared
by the Juvenile Court and audited and ap-
proved by the auditor of the District of
Columbia. But should the additional
work of handling some 10000 payments
each year be added to the auditors office.
it would be necessary. in order to have
the payments current and keep the ac-
counts with respect thereto, to increase
the auditors force by ali additional en-
ploye. 1t would require the undivided
time of at least one clerk for this work.
and it could not be discharged by the
present clerical force without injury to
other important duties
