THE COMING HORSE JOCKEYS
English Horseman Predicts That
Girls Will Soon Be in Profession.

From the English C;cntlewoman.
The Racing Calendar contains the
name Of only one woman as a jockey.
Mrs. Thornton. who III the August OF
1901 rode her husbands horse. Vina-
Erillo. at York before a tremendous
crowd She appeared in a leopard col
o-ed silk racing jacket with blue sleeves
and blue cap. 1t Is said that one million
dollars changed hands over the race.
Mrs Thornton was beaten.
On the continent couple of years ago
girl took out license as Jockey
hui. rs yet, In England none of the sex
feminine has done SO. 1t only requires
some trainer to apprentice one two
girls and put them up for the profess
sion to- be open to them. And why not?
,Sireterths of the boys who go into
racing stables know nothing about horses
O. riding. Eighttenths of them never
learn to use their hands properly. six
Ienths of them never become hOrsemeE
and end their days as stable lads. riding

Girls have far better heads than boys:
they think more and are more observant.
They would b" able 10 give trainer a
few more helpful accounts % how a
horse mas gone1n Il ,rial or race and
t'ey would ride n lighter weight. Cen
e.a;iy speaking. they would be gifted
with so much better hands that strength
would not be so much required. for strong
jockeys are often only necessary because
boys with bad hands have been riding In
private the horse they are 20 steer in {.

Il may not be in our time. but I am
confident girl jockeys Will come. ard that
they would be far more usefu. TO train

Increase of Cancer Denied.
from American Medicine

Ffon American Medicine.
Denials of any modern increase o.
cancer are being made by those who are
competent to judge. both here and in
Europe and il is timely warning
against the popular terror which has
been created by the mass of lay litera-
tIre on the subject.
There is 10 doubt that more cases are
reported since We learned how to recog-
n:ze them. so that the statistic i'll
crease does not necessarily mean an
anal increase.
.,gajn. there are more people who sur
vi-e early diseases and reach the can
Ger age. 50 that there should be an
i-tUei relative increase of number of
cases. but that is far from saying that
a person in the cancer age is any more
Liable to contract that disease than
were those VINO lived fifty years ago.
Taking into consideration all the
Available data, it has been decided by
those who have looked into the matter
cxhaus:ively that the proportion of the
population of cancer age who contract
malignant disease is the same ii al
lays has been
few thousand years ago, when our
aght:nS ancestors rarely reached forty
i've years of age. even thirty-five,
there were mighty few cases of cancer

Photographing a Lynx.
4 Thomson Seton. In Scribner's.

Ernest Thompson Seton. In Scribner's
saw the incredible wonder I had
heard ola good runner can outrun
lynx. Preble was a Splinter, and before
the timber. 200 yards of. was reached.
that lynx was headed and turned, and
preble and Billy were driving him back
into my studio. He made several dashes
10 escape. but was outmaneuvered and
driven onto the far point. where he was
really between the devils and the deep
sea Here he faced about at bay. growl-
ing savageE. humping his little bobtail
from side to side and pretending he was
going to spring on US. ! took a photo
did look very fierce. but l thought knew
the creature. as we'll as the men who
were backing me. I retired. put new
film in place. and said:
Now, Preble, I'm going to walk up to
that lynx and get a close photo. If he
jumps for me. and he may, there is moth
ing can save my beauty but you and
that gun
said: GO ahead
Then I stopped and began slowly ap-
preaching the desperate creature we held
at bay. His eyes were glazing green, his
ears were back. his small bobtail kept
;witching from side to side and his
growls grew harder and hissier j near
ed him. At fifteen feet he gathered his
legs under him. as for spring. and ]
pressed the button.
Then did the demon Of ambition enter
into my heart and lead me into peril.
The lynx at bay was starving and des-
perate. He might spring at me. but I
believed that If he did he never would
reach me alive. I knew my man-this
nerved 1ne-and 1 said to him, I'm not
satisfied want him to fill the finder.
Are you ready"
Yep
So 1 crouched lower and came still
nearer and at twelve feet made another
exposure. For some strange reason now
the lynx seemed less angry than he had
been.
He didn't I'll the finder: I'll try again. -
was my next. Then, on my knees. /
crawled up. watching the finder. till it
was full of lynx. 1 glanced at the beast,
he was but eight feet away. 1 focused
and fired.
And now. on wonder. that lynx no
longer seemed annoyed; he had ceased
all growing and simply looked bored
Seeing it was over. Preble says. Now
where does he go? To the museum
mo indeed" was the reply; "he surely
mas earned his keep. turn him loose
