Yet Kavanaugh Was a Daring Rider
and Famous Sportsman.

Yet Kavanaugh Was a Daring Rider
and Famous Sportsman.
Far and away the most interesting
member and in many ways the most
remarkable man who has ever sat In
the house Of commons was the Right
Hon. Arthur Kavanaugh, who sat for
Carlow from 1869 to 1880 under condi.
lions which would hare been impos.
sible for almost any other man.
Kavanaugh was born without arms
or legs-he was. IN fact, mere trunk
OF man. And yet he performed a
feat from which most men with their
full complement OF members might
well have shrunk.
Strapped on TO his saddle. he was
one of the most skillful and daring
riders to hounds in all Ireland. On
one occasion, It Is said, "the saddle
turned under him. and the korse trot-
ted back TO the stable yard with his
master hanging under him. his hair
sweeping the ground. bleeding pro
fusely. He merely cursed the groom
with emphatic yolubility, had himself
more safely readjusted and rode cut
once more"
So remarkable was the sight Of this
pink clad trunk perched on his big
horse that a child who once saw him
dashing out OF wood ran shrieking
to her mother. exclaiming; ooh. mum
my. I've seen Satan himself! I've seen
him sure enough
Kavanaugh was also an enthusiastic
yachtsman and was the frst to assert
the right Of NJ. P.'s TO moor their craft
opposite the houses Of parliament. He
went on a shooting expedition to AL
bania and published a charming book
on his experiences. illustrated with ad-
mirable photographs taken by himself,
while among his fayorite pastimes
were angling and tree telling.
His most famous exploit. however,
was bis ride from Norway to India.
Accompanied by two friends. be rode
across Russia TO the Caspian sea,
thence TO Astrakhan and Astrabad
and through Persia, laughing az the
perils and fatigues Of a journey which
might well have daunted even the ia
nous Colonel Burna0y.
Kavanaugh. who was the father Of
four handsome sons and daughters, all
perfectly formed. was carried into the
house of commons on the back of an
attendant. and was certainly one Of
the keenest and ablest Of legislators Of
his time London Tit-Bits.

WOMEN IN WALL STREET.
They Are Good Winners, but Drown
Their Losses In Tears.

Their Losses In Tears.
To many brokers women are hoo
docs, and some stock exchange houses
refuse absolutely TO have anything to
do with the fair sex. The majority OF
brokerage firms try their best to keep
women's speculative accounts out OF
their offices. Some houses are obliged
to take women's accounts as a matter
OF personal friendship. but they will
not open accounts for other women. no
matter how well they may be intro
duced
Wall street men do not have a high
opinion Of the average woman's bust
ness sense. Most women have an idea
that one needs only TO get a tip
from some "insider" In Wen street TO
be sure of making barrels of money
for new gowns. hats and Jeweiry.
The dlctum of Wall street is that
women are good winners, but bad
losers. II Is difficult TO reason about
money and business with an angry or
weeping woman. Her view of Wall
street and all It's works suddenly be-
comes entirely emotional. and only a
broker with infinite patience can calm

CHICAGO GIVES
POINTERS FOR
PARK PLANS
FAIRGROUNDS AND SANITATION
ARE MATTERS OF BUSINESS AND
DUTY - ATTRACT MEN AND
MONEY.

The park and boulevard system pro-
plan ever offered to the people of
Jacksonville"
The expression was made by an old
resident of Chicago, who is now writ
ing to this city intending to open a
branch office to purchase mortgage
loans.
This visitor says: Jacksonville
seems to have just awakened to the
idea that it should favorably compare
with other cities and that it may safe
ly adopt the Well tried plans that other
cities have paid for at great expense.
1T was about ten years ago that
Chicago discovered that she did not
have a proper park system. And this
was impressed upon us by increasing
sickness in certain localities. We could
not stop the tenement houses so we
were forced to provide small parks as
Fairgrounds for the children and
breathing spots for the parents.
THE great stock yards district with
| gleWood region had 10000 population
and no parks The Calumet manu-
featuring district had another 100000
people and not a place for recreation.
Parks as Matter of Business.
I'VE took up the park subject as
| matter OF DuSlneSS--1Or Win US IN chi
| cago everything is business-we rea-
soned that if we had a healthy city we
must have healthy children. An I'M
| healthy city costs the taxpayers too
much money per annurn. 1t costs less
| to keep up parks than to keep up hos
pitfalls, and parks bring joy and hope
while hospitals bring a, shudder. So
/ you see it's a, matter of taxation and
| business as we'll as of beauty.
In Chicago when we take hold Of
matter we do ourselves credit. With
this in mind we added fourteen new
| parks to the south side sytsem. These
| contained about $40 acres--eqUaI to a
| square mile. AS a starter we issued a
million dollars Of small park bonds"
/ What? Big expense! No. In Chi
/ cago we do not count the expense, we
| count the results, and there's tip for
! Jacksonville. In forty years we have
| added two million people to our city.

winter gymnasium work for men, wo-
