"Terry MoGovern in a fit of anger part
ed with One-Eyed Connolly and Joe Mo-
Govern, two of his string of racehorses'
at the Rhode Island Jockey Club's meet
ing here and Town Sergeant Blgble
Cranston obtained a bargain.
"According to reports the Town Ser
geant met Terry Just after the horses
had made what the pugilist thought was
a poor showing and twitted him about it,
The flHtie wonder offered to sell both fly'

a handsome profit."
.'JIM PROMISED MATCH.
Billy Delaney, manager of Jim Jeffries,
has promised Harry, brother of "Qen
tleman Jim" Corbett, a match with Jef
fries, if the latter wins with Fltsulm
mona. Corbett is coming out from New
York and will be at the ring side with
"Honest John" Kelly to personally chal
lenge the winner. '
A battle between Corbett and Jeff would
be a great drawing card, and "Gentleman
Jim'! la undoubtedly figuring things pret
ty much In his favor If he can make it a
20-round affair. In last year's meeting
he held up the champion for 20 rounds In
as great a mill as has ever been brought
off in this country. He had Jeffries
smothered In blood from head to feet
when the end came, having kept up an
unceasing fusillade of jabs from the tap
of the gong.
. No one who knows both men would
maintain for an instant that Corbett Is
the equal of Jeff In strength, and cons.

Superstitions That Are Popular
Among Sporting Men.
The gambler, waiting on the corner to
get a car home, yawned, for It was so
early that the morning waa still pink,
and the gambler had been sitting up all
night. -
"There are many well known- supersti
tions connected -with poker," he said.
"I am acquainted with halt -a doien
cases where. In the game, dream have
come true. Jesse James, the outlaw.
dreamed one night that he held on the
deal a pair of trays, discarded, three
and won heavily on an ace full. He waa
playing a few weeks later, and on his
first hand the pair of trays coming, be
recalled his dream and whispered it to
the man next htm. Then he began to
whoop things up, and on that hand he
came aut $1,800 to the good, for his
dream, you see, came true In every de
tail.
"E. Berry Wall, the New iorker, was
told by a palmist that he ought to play
the races, betting oh horses whose names
Were those ut colors. He looked the pa
pers over that night, and Scarlet was
the only colored nag entered for the next
day. Scarlet was a 60-to-l shot, and Ber
ry Wall laid $150 on him. Wall drove
away from the track that night with
$9000 tucked In his clothes.
"Policy goes by dreams and supersti
tions altogether. My servant girl dreamed
she had a gold tooth last month, and
next morning she put a week's wages on
the gold row flat and won $300.
"These are all authenticated cases,'
said the gambler, "and I can vouoh for
tham." Philadelphia Record.

FROG FARMING
The Industry Officially Reported
to Be Profitable.
Frog farming as an Industry Is assum
ing large proportions in many parts of
Canada. Not only are large shipments of
frogs' legs made to the United States,
hut there is a growing demand for the
luxury In many of the torge centers, of
the Dominion.
One of the most successful fro? farms
Is in Ontario. Last year it produced 5M0
pounds of dressed frogs' les and TOCO
living frogs for scientific purpos is ar.d
for stocking other waters.
The deputy commissioner of fisheries for
Ontario reports that in the past year
number of applications were made to
the government for leases of land siotable
for this industry. 'No. licenses were how
ever, granted, as it was found that I he
territory concerned waa already being
farmed by a number of people.
It Is safe to assume that In the very
near future much land now idle will bo
locked with frogs. All that is necesrarv
for this pjurpose is to place a few paired
breeders In the water. Natural food Is
Imost always present In sufficient
amount for successful growth.
The species considered here to be most
profitable, on account of Its size., is the
Eastern bullfrog, which reaches a length
of more than eight Inches. It begins to
reed at the end of three years, is, very
productive and reaches a marketable site
in four or five years. Quebec Correspond

Tale With a Moral.
John Fox, the Kentucky novelist, who
is said to be working- on a play for Julia
Marlowe, was quizzed by a friend at the
University Club, Manhattan, a few even,
inga ago. on the fact that tha greatest in
terpreter of classic heroines that the
American stage knows today should be
appearing in plays by contemporaneous
writers. Mr. Kox's friend represents a
large number of Miss Marlowe's well
meaning admirers who would rather have
her play Shakespeare for the prices of
tha costumes than see her making $100,000
annually out of these "knighthoods."
Mr. Fox was a bit nettled by the im
putation that lie and Charles Major could
not write as good plays as' fh8 esteemed
William. He asked his friend if he had
ever heard about the child who said:
"Mamma, when I die, can I (take my best
doll to heaven with me?"
" 'No,' answered the mother, 'I'm afraid
you enn't.'
." 'Well, can I take my second - best,
then?'
" 'No, not even your second best.'
The child deliberated in silence for sev
eral minutes, and then issued this ultima
tum:
" 'Well, then, I think I'll take my nigger
doll and go to-the other place.' "
Mr. ..Fox thought the application of his
Hory might not be-entirely obvious, but
was mire It Indicated fairly enough the
feelings of certain American players re
garding the presentation of Shakespeare
just at this time. Detroit Free Press.

Men apd Women Looking
For Positions.
The completion of the body of the cen
sus work, and the consequent discharge
of 2500 employes, has caused an era of
seeming hard times at tha National Capi
tal. Washington is overrun with young
men and women looking for positions.
They are about the department, In the
public offices, at the doora of commercial
establishments; they hang about the cor
ridors of Congress, and dog the steps of
Senators and Representatives night and
diy. They came to Washington two
years ago, most of them, and secured
positions In the census office, paying from
J6C0 a year up. They have settled into
Washington ways, and acquired a taste
for the Government service. The young
men. In many cases, have started even
ing courses In law and medicine. The
ypung women have experienced "Inde
pendencies," possibly for the k first time.
Many of these clerks have worked hard,
but the hours are easy from 9 to 4 and
holidays are eloquent; the work is; clean
and riot too , strenuous, and there are
84 days allowed for vacations every year,
which can be taken at any time. Finally
the epell the hypnotic charm which
overcomes Federal employes the habit
of office, the lack of initiative, the de
pendence on the Government, has en
veloped these 2600 young men end women,
so that they decline to give up or -go
away. Generally they have lived up to
the limit of their Incomes, although they
knew that in all human probaoillty they
would be dropped at this time; they
hoped against hope that their "pull "
might ' be sufficient to keep them going a
while ' longer. When their discharges
came, many were without money for a
week's board, and could not mutter rail
road fare to take them home.
The habit of "taking care of their con
stituents becomes second nature to old
politicians, and Senators and Representa
tives have endeavored to look after these
eatrays. . Each individual case is apt to
have t its merits and tbo same reasons
which Induced the member to get place
