"LUCKY" BALDWIN MADE HISJOCKEY
RIDE SQUARE.
The Hornenian I <ted an Argument
Tlint Made the Crooked Rider'n
Teeth Chatter While He Got Ont
All the Speed In the Animal.
In the lobby of a hotel the other
evening a number of men were discuss
ing sports and sporting i ' e 1
subject of nerve and grit -
of the party, a well known Californian.
who knew "Lucky" Baldwin in the old
days, said:
"Baldwin was about the hardest man ;
to be chiseled out of anything he set '
his heart on getting that I ever met up
with. A whole lot of people tried to
put it on him in business and other sort
of deals, but none of these ever sue- (
ceeded in catching 'Lucky' Baldwin
sufficiently asleep to make their plans
stick.
"Horsemen still talk about a funny
game in which Baldwin figured on one
of the Chicago race tracks a number of
years ago. Baldwin had brought his
magnificent string of thoroughbreds to ;
Chicago to make an effort to annex the j
swell stakes that were then on tap on
the tracks in the windy town, and he j
got them home first or in the money in
many of the biggest events. Well, he I
had one of his finest horses entered in
a valuable long distance event, and i
Baldwin was particularly anxious to j
win this race, not so much for the I
purse end of it as for the glory of cap- j
turing the stake. Ilis horse just about j
figured to win, too, and Baldwin in- :
tended to 'go down the line' on the ani- '
mal's chances, not only at the track,
but at all of the big poolrooms in the |
country. He stood to clean up consid- j
crably more than SIOO,OOO on the horse j
if the brute got under the wire first. !
Baldwin's regular stable jockey was
taken sick on the morning of the race, ]
and the old man had to hustle around
for another boy to ride his horse in the '
big event. From another horseman lie
bought for a big round sum the release
of a high grade rider, who was to have
taken the mount on a thoroughbred
that didn't figure to get near the money
in the stake race. Baldwin gave the
jockey his instructions as to the way
he wanted the horse ridden, and then,
when the betting opened, his commis
sioners duinpeji Baldwin's money into
the ring in such large quantities that
the horse became an overwhelming fa
vorite.
"A quarter of an hour before the
horses were due togo to the post a
well known bookmaker, to whom Bald
win had often exhibited kindness in
less prosperous days, ran to where the
old man was standing, chewing a
straw, in his barn.
" 'Baldwin,' said the bookie to the
old man, 'there's a job to beat you. and
you're going to get beat. Tlicy wanted
me togo in with 'em, but you've al
ways been on the level with me, and I
wouldn't stand for it. The ring has
bought up your jock, and your horse
is going to be snatched.'
" 'Much obliged for teliiug me that,'
replied the old man. 'l'll just make a
stab to see that the boy doesn't do any
snatching, though.'
"Baldwin borrowed another gun
from one of his stable hands (in those
days he always carried one of his own
about as long as your aruj), and with
his artillery he strolled over the intield
and took up his stand by the fence
at the turn into the stretch. He hadn't
mentioned to anybody what he was go
ing to do, and the folks who saw the
old man making for the stretch turn
simply thought that Baldwin wanted
to watch the race from that point of
view. He did, for that matter, but lie
happened to have another end in view.
"Well, the horses got away from the
post in an even buncli, and then Bald
win's horse went out to make the run
ning. The jockey's idea was to race
the horse's head off and then pull him
in the stretch, making it appear as if
j the animal had tired. Baldwin had
instructed the Jock to play a waiting
game and make his bid toward the fin
i ish. The horse simply outclassed his
company, however, and he didn't show
I any indications of leg weariness what
l ever as he rounded the backstretch on
the rail a couple of lengths in front of
his field. Baldwin co:t!d see. however,
j that the crooked jock was sawing the
horse's head off in his effort to take
j liim back to the ruck. W'lieu tile horses,
i were tit HI a hundred feet from him.
Baldwin let otit a yell to attract his
jockey's attention, and then he flashed
his two guns in the sunlight and bawl
ed at the jock:
" 'Leggo that horse's head, you mon
key devil, and goon and win or I'll
shoot you so full of holes that you
won't hold molasses!'
"The jock gave one look at those two
guns that Baldwin was pointing
straight at liim. Then he gave Bald
win's horse his bead, sat down to ride
for all that was in him, and the horse
under liim cantered in ten lengths to
! the good on the bit. As long as 'Lucky*
Baldwin was on the eastern turf after
that no jockey ever tried to yank one
of his horses."—Washington Pout.

"1 weii remember," said a veteran
lawyer, "the trial of a case in which
Judge Henry T. Backus was doing
cross examining. Now, the judge was
noted for his lavish use of six footed
words, and he used frequently to
astound if not confuse an unprepared
witness with a plethora of high sound-
Hig phrases. The case I speak of was
tried In Sault Ste. Marie, and there
was a fcifriple, inoffensive Frenchman
on the witness stand. He understood
little of the attorney's profound inter
rogatories and gave his answers in a
confused and stammering way calcu
lated to ruffle the sweetest temper.
Finally the attorney paused in the mid
dle of liis cross examination and ob
jected because the answers of the wit
ness were not responsive. He was ad
vised by the court to couch his ques
tions In simpler language. Then Judge
Baekus, pointing his finger al the meek
looking witness and looking him
straight in tlie eye, thundered:
" 'Sir, I desire you to respond to my
interrogatories categorically and with
out prevarication or take the conse
quences!'
" 'Oh!' exclaimed the Frenchman, ris
ing fr<HU his chair in fear. 'Oh! \\ hat

"Of course the incident convulsed the
spectators and the fc'ourf. and it was
some time before order was restored
and the case could proceed" —Detroit

[Copyright, 1900, by C. B. Lewis.]
As Mr. Gallup lighted his tin lantern
after supper and started out to buy
half a pound of Rio coffee for break
fast and call at the postortice Mrs. Gal
lup was in excellent spirits and had
most of the dishes ready for washing,
lie was absent 32 minutes, and when
he arrived home he found her huddled
up in the big rocking chair, with a pil
low behind her head and the camphor
bottle in her hand. She took three long
sniffs at the bottle and gave three long
ilrawn sighs as lie entered, but it was
labor thrown away. Mr. Gallup blew
out his lantern and hung it up behind
the cellar door, and, having deposited
the coffee 011 a shelf in the pantry, he
removed and hung up his coat and hat,
sat down and took off his shoes and
then, taking a circular from his pock
et and putting on his glasses with
great deliberation, began to read. It
was a circular regarding a new discov
ery in the cure of consumption, and he
had not yet finished with the first tes
timonial when Mrs. Gallup sobbed four
times in succession and faintly asked:
"Samuel Gallup, do you know that
your dyin wife is present in the room?"
He made 110 reply. That testimonial
from one who had been cured after
his coffin had been purchased made
him hold his breath as he read.
"Yes; she is present," dolefully con
tinued Mrs. Gallup after several sniffs

at the bottle, "and she wants to hev a
few last words with you. When you
started over town, 1 was singin 'Bar
bara Allen' and tliinkin my days might
be long in this land. Not five minits
later the summons come. I had just
started to wash the dishes, and I had
that cracked blue platter in my hand,
but I hadn't gin it over two wipes
when the dishcloth fell to the floor
with a great spat. You are hearin
what I say, ain't you, Samuel?"
Mr. Gallup wasn't. He was devour
ing the second testimonial, which gave
the case of a woman who had been
given up by over 50 doctors, and yet
two bottles furnished her with a new
pair of lungs.
"When that dishcloth fell, I knew
that my time had come. That's the
way Mrs. Groyer and Mrs. Taylor
went. Their dishcloths fell, and in L' 4
hours they was in heaven. I shall be
up there by tomorrer night, Samuel,
while you'll be free to stay out all
night to hear the political news. I'd
hev died before you come back home,
only I wanted to talk with you a leetle
about the funeral. I.et's see. If I die
tonight, you'll hold the funeral day aft
er tomorrer, won't you, at 2 o'clock in
the afternoon?"
Mr. Gallup was listening to a noise
outside. He heard something to re
mind him of a hen trying to crow, and
he wondered if it could be that so long
after dark.
"If you want It a day sooner, you
can hev it," continued Mrs. Gallup
after sobs and gasps and sniffs at the
bottle, "but you must look out or tiie
nayburs will talk. Better hev it day
after tomorrer, and I hope, for your
sake, it won't be a rainy day. I've
sometimes thought I'd like a lug fu
neral when I went, with over 40 wag
ons in the purcession and the church
bell a-tollin and the dogs a-howlln, but
I've given that up. No. Samuel, you
needn't make any spread over me. I'm
one of the kind that kin goto heaven
without any hurrah and fireworks. If
there is ten wagons in the purcession,
I shall be satisfied. Don't you think
ten ought to be 'uuff for a person like
me?"
It wasn't a direct questiou, but had
It been Mr. Gallup would not have
answered. He was devouring the third
testimonial and making up his uiiud
to try a bottle on the sly.
"Ten wagons in the purcession, Sam
uel, and the bells needn't toll nor
nuthin else happen. If anybody is
diggin taters or inakin soft soap or
dyein carpet rags, they needn't stop on
my accouut. If 25 people come to the
house, that will be 'uuff. We've got
'leven chairs altogether, couutin them
with broken backs, and Mrs. Walters
will lend you the rest. You'll hev our
own preacher, of course, but he needn't
goon for an hour or two and tell hew
! good I was and how much you'll miss
I me. If he says that my toil is o'er, and
that you won't never find a more savin
wife, that'll be about 'nuff. Shall you
do any eryln at the funeral, Samuel'/"
No answer.

there ag'in. When you git ready to
buy me a gravestun, you kin send it
up by a man. I s'pose you'll buy a

Mr. Gallup didn't hear, in the fourth
testimonial a man declared that he had
been saved after one whole lung and
three-quarters of the other were gone,
audit was a sketch to thrill the reader
clear down to his toes.
"Of course 1 don't kocr about no
gravestun for myself," said Mrs. Gal
lup as she tried to wipe away her tears
with the glass stopper of the bottle,
"but if you don't put one up the nay

And when Mr. Gallup had finished
the testimonials and fully determined
to buy at least three bottles and hide
them in the wood shed he rose up,
yawned and stretched and looked
around to find Mrs. Gallup asleep and
the camphor wasted on the tioor.

THERE WASN'T ANY ROW.
j
It Was Simply a Case of Spontnne

He was a very young man, almost
too young to be out on the street at

He was not utterly demoralized, but
there was something in ins manner ;
that would load the close observer to
the conclusion that all had not been !
well with him.
"Gee!" he exclaimed as he spun '
around the corner and went bump into
a policeman.
"Hollo," ejaculated that worthy, in
stinctively grabbing at him; "what's
the row?"
"There wasn't any," responded the
youth.
"What are you running liko that
for?" persisted the policeman.
"I've just been up against a case of
spontaneous combustion."
"You look too green to burn," chuc
kled the bluecoat.
"It's on me, just the same. My girl
lives around the corner, and I went to
see her. 1 thought it was all"
"Where does the combustion come
in?" interrupted the officer.
"Come out, you mean," corrected the
youth.
"Come off!" exclaimed the officer.
"Tell me what the row is before I
chase you."
"Well, that's what I'm trying to do,"
pleaded the boy. "The girl's old man
and I don't harmonize a little bit, and
when he met me at the door lie fired
me so suddenly that 1 had vertigo. If
you don't call that spontaneous com
bustion, what the dickens do you call
it?"
"Oh. excuse me," apologized the po

JACK TAR'S GROWL.
A Story Illustrating; the Sailor'«
llaltit of (•rumbling.
Tlie author of"From Edinburgh to
the Antarctic," writing of the sailor's
habit of grumbling, says: "Tl;e dinners
are all the same—that is to say, Mon
day's dinners are all alike, and what
we have today we shall have this day
six months lience. Jack's forefather
this day 100 years ago hud the same
menu and made the same uncompli
mentary remarks about the dishes, and
100 years hence on this day Jack's chil
dren will growl over their salt horse
and plumless duff." The author also
tells this "yarn" to illustrate that
Jack's habit of grumbling can't be
cured and must be endured:
Once upon a time there lived a skip
per whose wife said to him that if she
went to sea the poor men would never
find fault with their food. Her hus
band took her with him on a voyage,
and the good woman attended to the
cooking In the galley herself.
The seouse was thick with fresh veg
etables, the bread was white and with
out weevils, the meat was good, and
the duff was almost half plums, but
still the men growled.
Then the skipper's wife thought of
the hens she had brought on board to
lay eggs for lier husband's breakfast.
She took them out of the coop, wrung
their nocks with her own fair hands,
plucked them, roasted them and sent
them to the forecastle on the cabin
china.
"Now the men," she said to herself,
"will know how much we think of their
comfort."
At eight bells she stole forward to
the forecastle to listen to the praise of
her skill as a cook. She looked down
the hatch and saw a big black fist
plunge a fork into the lion and heard a
hoarse voice growl, "I say. Bill, what
d'ye think this 'ere bloody fowl died
of?"

Here's a little dolly dialogue that
was overheard in a $24 a month Capi
tol hill mansion one evening last week:
She—Why, oh, why, did I ever marry
you?
He—Because I was a good thing.
She—You are becoming positively
coarse.
He—Association.
She—You pay no attention whatever
to my little wishes.
He—What's the use of chasing a car
after you've caught it?
She—l believe you have been drink
ing again,
lie—No such luck.
She —I'm in rags.
He—Well, we'll do a sketch. So'm I.
She—l haven't been to the theater for
two weeks.
He—Yours is a sad story.
She—Brute!
He—Ours is a peaceful home.
She—Are you going down town to
night?
He—lf I can swing you for car fare.
She—l have only in my purse.
He—Hetty Green!
She—l saw a pair of high heeled pat
ent leathers today, reduced to SB, that
I must and shall have.
He—D'je see any men's brogans for
$1.39?
She—Why don't you get shaved?
He—Waiting for pay day.
She—Don't you know the rent and
the gas will be due this pay day?
He—Then I'll cut out the shave.
She—l wish 1 had never left mamma,
so I do.
He—Others, others!
She—l have a good notion togo right
back to Iter this minute.
He—Have you got an umbrella?
She—Oh, you you g-g-government
c-c-clerk! (Tears. Curtain.)— Washin
gton Post.
The Neglected Volee.
The voice is the most common and at
the same time the most complex of hu
man faculties. When we listen to it,
we realize nothing of the many influ
ences at work in its use. Yet it repre
sents the character, the mood, the tem
perament and the health of the individ
ual when loft to run in its own way.
If uncontrolled, it will develop much as
a flower garden will develop; the rank
and weedy nature will come to the
front, and the tones of exquisite beau
ty will be obscured. Bad daily habits
in the use of the voice will give it
many disagreeable qualities. If con
trolled. the voice will keep its weeds in
the background and permit only its
beauties to be known, if cultivated,
the weeds will be taken out and the
flowers developed.—Pittsburg Press.

"ft may have been unprofessional
POK'iuct," said the civil engineer, "but
I acted op the spur of the moment, and
1 hardly think that there was any harm
done. I was out in the country one day
on an important piece of business, and
as I was about to leave for the depot
to catch a train for the city two old
farmers came to me with a line fence
dispute that they wanted me to settle
for them. I had barely time to catch
my train, and 1 told them that 1 did not
care to bother with it. It was only a
matter of six inches or so that was in
dispute, and I advised them to split it
up between them. But they wouldn't
listen to my advice, and one of them
declared that if I didn't find the line
for them he wouldn't let his son drive
me to the station as he had promised.
As I had no other way of reaching the
depot I unpacked my instruments with
a sigh and a mental resolve to end the
thing as soon as possible.
" 'Wul,' drawled both of the old men
as I took my eye away from the inst.ru
mont, 'whar's the line?'
" 'Gone,' said I solemnly.
" 'What?' they both shouted.
" 'Y'ou can see for yourselves, gentle
men,' said I, making way for them.
" 'By gosh, I can't see it!' said one of
them as he squinted through the glass.
" 'l'll be darned if I kin either,' said
the other one as he, too, squinted
through the glass.
" 'lt seems to have disappeared, gen
tlemen,' said 1. 'Such cases are ex
tremely rare, but they are known to
happen,'
"When 1 left, they were accusing
each other of having stolen the line."—
Detroit Free Press.
Once when Mrs. Kendal was taking
the role of Galatea in Dublin she had
an amusing experience. Pygmalion, it
will be remembered, had a jealous
wife. During the temporary absence
tif that lady Galatea was about to
throw herself into the arms of Pygma
lion when an old dame in the audience
cried warningly: "Don't do it. darlint!
Ilis wife's just gone out, and shure it'll
lie like her to be listouiu at the key
hole."
