the favorite, and. while the pictures
from across the Atlantic show a particu
larly graceful as well as powerful craft,
the members of the New York Yacht
club smile nonchalantly when the sub
ject is mentioned, and remark: "Wei,
other challengers have appeared dan
gerous before now, and still the blue rib
bon of the sea, reposes in the same niche
tht it has occupied for half a century."
The new yacht Constitution is so sim
ilar to Columbia that even the expert
has difficulty to distinguish one from
the other.
Beyond being a trifle more powerful
and carrying a few hundred more
pounds of lead in the bulb on the bottom
of lier fin, the new craft appears to be
the exact counterpart of the champion
of two years ago.
A close comparison of the photographs
of the new Shamrock and the Constitu
tion exhibits no difference in type, and
but little variance in the methods of
carrying out the details.
LOOKING BACH
To the time when she was plucked from
the very grasp of death, the natural im
pulse of the womanly heart is thankful
ness for the means which saved her,
and a desire to help
other women in like
case. Those are the
motives which
prompted Mrs. Kva
Burnett to write the
accompanying testi
monial to the curative
power of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
This is only one cure
out of thousands. No
one would <lare say
that the average
woman was not as
truthful as she is
good. And it is the
truthful testimony of
the average woman
that " Favorite Pre
scription" cures
womanly diseases
when all other
means ami medi
cines absolutely
fail. It estab
lishes regularity,
dries tile drains which weaken women,
heals inflammation and ulceration aud
cures female weakness. It trauquilizc-s
the nerves, restores the appetite aud
induces refreshing sleep.
" I liave intended for some lime to write to
you," says Mrs. Kva Burnett, of P^-sellville. Ko

plate. The splicing around the thimbles
is deftly done, as is also the work Of
serving the spliced part of the rigging.
A heavy galvanised metal collar with
flare edges tits over the outer end of the
bowsprit. The bowsprit is prevented
from slipping from inboard with the
stays by the end of the spar being made
smaller, while the protruding shoulder
aft of the edge of the collar makes such
a slip as was experienced on the bow
sprit rig of the Columbia impossible.
The bobstay eye and the loops of the
headstays and also the bowsprit guys
are looped on the metal collar, the eyes
being spliced in. Being heavy steal
wire, the bobstay is powerful enough-' ,
resist an immense weight. v
The splices are smooth, and, in addi
tion to being served with heavy wh'e.
they are moused at the junction of the
splice. The outriggers for the guyv
stays of the hr | ••prit are adjusted on
the bows carefully, while aft of these
are placed short bumpkins, with turtt
buokle attachments to set up the guys.
The yacht, being of such light construc
tion, is sensitive to the weight of t
spars and rigging now in place, and
sunk fully ten inches from the water
line shown when she first entered the
water last Monday evening.

]R BILE
Causes bilious head-ache, back-ache
and all kinds of body aches. Spring
is here and you want to get this bile
poison out of your system, easily,
naturally and gently. CASCARETS
are just what you want; they never
grip or gripe, hut will work gently
while you sleep. Some people think
the more violent the griping the better
the cure. Be careful—take care of
Î rour bowels—salts and pill poisons
eave them weak, and even less able to
keep up regular movements than be
fore. The only safe, gentle cleaner
for the bowels are sweet, fragrant
CASCARETS. They don't force
out the foecal matter with violence,
but act as a tonic cn the whole 30 feet of bowel wall, strengthen the
muscles and restore healthy, natural action—buy them and try them.
You will find in an entirely natural way your bowels will be promptly
and permanently put in good order for the Spring and Summer work.

HOW A NEGRO JOCKEY SAVED THE
LIVES OF HIMSELF AND HIS BOSS.
Just where the limpid blue water of
the Ohio flows into the golden yellow
Mississippi at the extreme end of Illi
nois, lies the little city of Cairo, and
there one of the most exciting "outlaw"
races on record once took place.
A saffron-hued youth rode a race, upon
the result of which both his own and the
life of his master depended. Had he
won he would have lost his master and
had he been caught in the act of •'pull
ing" he would certainly have swung
from the nearest tree. It was death,
either way, and it was necessary tor
him to exercise the most delicate touches
of jockeyship.
A jockey once remarked: ''Any little
stable boy with ordinary intelligence
may win on a good horse, but it takes
a master hand to lose on a good horse
and not he detected." This was the posi
tion in which Jockey Harrington once
found himself, according to the story
told by an old "outlaw" horseman of
St. Louis a few days ago.
The incident occurred in 1SS5. The
nerve of the owner in question wa* about
as prominent as a red shirt waist at a
funeral, and he had seven horses of
the skate order. But there was one of
them. Little Flossie, a filly, with chain
lightning in her heels.
Hadn't a Cent.
Without a emit in his pocket the own
er. wno requests that his name be with
held for the reason that he has since
sunk into obscurity, as far as turf mat
ters are concerned, and enjoys the qui
etude, loaded his horses on a train
leaving Ft. Louis and billed" them to
iloiio. Then he held a short conference
with a conductor with whom he was
acquainted, and managed to secure free
transportation for himself and two
friends.
The party arrived at Cairo in due time
and the railroad officials, who were ac
quainted with the owner in his palmy
days and supposed he had nothing but
"velvet," shipped his string of racers
out to the track.
Thus far everything went well. Pre
viously the moneyless owner had secured
the betting privileges, and he put up at
a first class hotel. When he mounted
the block on the track there was not a
•ent in his cashbox with which to pay
in the event the rural talent was lucky
enough to catch a winner.
The town was crowded with the rough
est kind of steamboat men from toe tow
boats John A. Woods. Joe B. Williams,
Boaz and the Alice Brown. Nearly all
oi them were drunk, too. and they are
noted all along the river for their fight
ing proclivities. There is nothing at
which they will hesitate, and when the
"colone'." mounted the block and posted
his odds on the first race he noticed
that these men were getting their coin
down to a man on the chances of Little
Flossie, at odds of 5 to 1.
An Unpleasant Position.
He took all the green stuff offered, and
she went to the post at even money.
There was a fair plah on the others, but
t.n his consternation the colonel found
that he would be to the bad to the ex
tent of $375 If Little Flossie won. He
knew the crowd with which he had to
deal. If the filly won they would not
hesitate to lynch him in case he tried to
"welch," and if they caught his Jockey
"pulling" the same punishment would
be meted out to him.
Walking over to the fence he beckon
ed to Harrington, and the' hoy rode up
to him. He was mounted on far the
best animal facing 'the flag.
"Look here, nigger," said the Colonel
sternly, "everything depends upon our
losing this race. I haven't got a cent
and I have taken everything offered on
my mare. It was the only chance I had.
If you win this gang will ynch gne, and
If they catch you 'pulling' they'll hang
you right over there on that tree. But
you've got to lose. You must manhge
to get off last and plug along to the
quarter. By that time the others will
be so far ahead of you that yoq will
have no chance anyhow. Then you must
pretend to ride, but don't win under any
circumstances."
"But If I do win in spite of Anyself?"
asked the negro, turning a shade paler.
"Why, if you see you must win, fall
off." was the reply.
"That gives me two chances of death
to your one,' said the jockey, but he
was game and rode boldly up to where
the others were impatiently awaiting
his arrival.
Several False Starts.
There were four or five false starts,
in all of which Little Flossie got the
worst of it, and then they were off. The
Jcckey of the penniless bookmaker and
owner was several lengths to the bad
and made no effort to get to the fronr,
while the other riders were urging their
mounts for all they were worth.
At the quarter Little Flossie moved up
a notch. One by one she gained on the
others and ■ passed them until she was
well up in the bunch. The filly was not
a shirker and always did her level best.
It was clear that she outclassed the
others as far as stick candy does corn
cobs, and the jockey began to get un
easy.
At the head of the stretch So-So was
In the lead by about six lengths, but
Litt'e Flossie was running like a scared
deer, and gaining fast.
"Hooray," yelled teh steamboat men.
Little Flossie wins in a walk."
Down to the wire they rushed with
Little Flossie at So-So's saddle girths.
So-So was the winner by a scant half
length, but it seemed to have b en a
wonderfully closely contested race, and
the losing river men were sa'isfled.
''They beat you. nigger," they told the
yellow boy as he dismounted and went
into the scales, "but if you had got off
right you would have won."
The cwrer wa? once more on his feet,
and dur'ng the three remaining days of
the meeting he succeeded in cleaning up
about $1 010. Considering that the* city
Is a U t'.* one and the people of the
poorer class, tbls was remarkably good.
"I lost, hut I won, Colonel," said the
n gro grinning. •• « #4
