HOCD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1006 GIFTS TO JOCKEYS. Qaecr Reward, asd Reminder! That Com to the Rldara. One of tli greatest of llrlng Jockey has a most remarkable collection of tributes from admirers, unknown and otherwise It contains, among other trange things, pawn tickets, writ and summonses contributed by unsuccess tl backers of his mounts, talismans ef all kinds to bring him luck In his races, sermons and tracts for his spir itual welfare, recipes for all kinds of ailments, from coughs to a tendency to corpulence, forms for Insuring agalnat accidents, offers of marriage, accompanied by bundles of photo graphs of would be wives, welshers' tickets and a pair of wornout boots with ths legend: "All that la left of them after walking from York to wn don. Backed all your mounts." A few years ago, ufter bis borsa had lost an Important race, a well known turfman went up to the Jockey and made him a formal and public pres entation of a silver snuffbox, saying that If he would look Inside he would see the kind of horse he ought to ride lu future. The Jockey opened the box and found In It half a dozen fat snails. It was the same satirical owner who on another occasion presented bis jock ey with a sumptuous casket, which on being opened disclosed a wooden spoon, and to a third Jockey who bad failed to win an Important race he handed a pair of crutches bought from a beg gar on the course. When John Singleton, a clever Jock ey of nearly two centuries ago, first won a race In Yorkshire the farmer whose horse he bad ridden to victory was so delighted with his achievement that he mad' him a present of a ewe, whose offspring soon mustered a round dozen, and really started the ex-shepherd lad on his career as a Jockey. Singleton wss very proud of and grate ful for his singular fee. In this respect be furnished a great contrast to a well known Jockey who when a check for Il.BOO was handed to hlra by the owner of a horse on which he had won a race crumpled It up con temptuously, with the remsrk thst he had "often received more for riding a two-year-old."

Keep tolling a boy ho never will amount to anything, and be generally won't six weeks' engagement will put a lot of conceit Into a man, but six min utes of married life are sufficient to take It out It Is wonderful bow many have watches considering bow few there are In the world to whom time really seems to be of any value. Perhaps a man's eyesight grows poor er with the years as a merciful way of preventing him from seeing his wrinkles and gray hairs.'' We suppose a man Is called "wo man's protector" for the reason that he protects hsr from others Imposing upon her, preferring to do It all him self. Atchison Globe. Fralalnff the I. Mr Man. It must be admitted that some of the best work that has lived has been done by Indolent men. This Is espe cially true as regards literature. The finest description of a sunrise was written by the poet Thomson In bed. Oolerldge was one of the most Indolent of men, yet his work Is, of Its kind, unapproaohed. One of the most Im portant Improvements In the steam en gine was due to the indolence of James Watt Many other examples might be quotedj but a general rule, It Is fairly correot to say that work which Is the outcome of meditation or pro longed observation Is best performed by people whose natural Indolence makes them careless of the strife and bustle In which an active temperament would tend to Immerse them Pear son's.

The suggestion of an English barrls ter that a certain matter was a proper subject for oral examination, not for affidavit agreed with the emphatic opinion of an English Justice recently retired. Ha was onoe trying a case at the Manchester assizes In which a man had been cross examined upon an affi davit Bumming up the evldenos to the Jury, the Judge said, "Qeutlemen, of all tb weajous in the whole armory of In iquity uiure Is nothing to equal an af fidavit for concealing the truth."

The Froeeae ef Manatadare, From the Ibb-oU of Pare Gold Freeh From the Sabtreaaarr to the Fiaiahed Shlatas Fredaet. Out of whatever part of the earth It may originally have been dug, the gold from which tlilmbles are made In Phil adelphia was bought at the United States subtreasury in the city In the form of snug little Ingots, brick shaped and about two and a half Inches long, an Inch and a quarter wide and about an inch thick. These little ingots would be of a con venient size for paperweights. But they would be rather heavy for such use and probably too expensive for most people, for each one contains, of pure gold, 24 carats fine, metal of the value of about fiKX). Gold of this fineness would be much too soft for thimbles, and It Is alloyed down to 14 carats, In which condi tion it Is rolled Into sheets of suitable thickness. In the first process of man ufacture a sheet of this gold Is run Into a machine which cuts out of It a disk in size sulilclent to form a thim ble, the same machine stamping this disk also into the form of a straight sided capsule with irregular edges. alien the thimble blank goes into an other machine, in w hich a die stamps It Into Its conical shape. Out of this ma chine it goes Into an annealing fur nace for tempering and from that Into an acid bath for cleaning and the re moval of the fire coating. Then the thimble Is put into a lathe to be turned down to Its final shape and dimensions. It Is dull colored wheu It goes Into the lathe, but at the first touch of the keen edged cutting tool it shows a gllsteuing narrow band of bright gold surface, which Is widen ed In a moment to cover the whole length of Uie thimble as the skillful worker shifts the tool along. With reneated aiMJllcation of the tool the operator brlugs the crown of the thimble Into Its perfect form and cuts down along the thimble's sides to bring fi.o walla of the thimble to the requi site thickness, and be defines and fin ishes the smooth band that runs arouua the lower nart of the thimble and brings Into relief the rounded rim that encircles the thimble at Its opening at once to give It a finishing ornamental crura there and to stiffen It The glis tening llttlo gold shavings that he cuts off In these various operations an ian Into a canvas trouuh suspended be tween him and the bench upon which stands the lathe. With that last touch to its rim in this stage of making the former has grown marvelously more thlmble-like in ap pearance, but somehow It still lacks the breath, so to speak, of thimble Ufa) It lacks yet the familiar Indentation! In Its surface that serve to support tne ueedlo and to bold It In place. These tlm thhuhle maker now proceeds to make, and the making of these Is nice work Indeed. It Is done with a tool called a knurl. There Is an end knurle and a side Vnm-Ia. An end knurle Is simply a ban- die having set in it a tiny, thin revolv ing wheal of steel, uoon whose periph ery is a continuous encircling row of little bosses or knobs corresponding in size to the Indentations to be made. The side knurle has In place of such a wheel a little steel cylinder or a tengin sufficient to cover thut section of the thimble that Is to be Indented on Its sides, this cylinder having knobs all over its surface, as the ena snurie wheel has around Its edges, and turn ing, like the wheel, on Its axis. The thimble In the lathe is turning with 1,500 revolutions a minute, and It seems as though the application to Its surface of any sort of tool with pro tuberances on it must leave there only a lanarlml enil ml i ml un lot of Irregular marks. But now with the end knurle the thimble maker makes an indenta tion In the center of the top of the thim ble, and then he proceeds rapidly and with perfect certainty with the end knurle to describe around that center concentric rlnm at Indentations, with the Indentations all perfectly made and the rings an perrectiy spaced, rrom ine center to the ctrcumference of the top. You may see him do this, but you can't tell how he is able to do it. And then with the side knurle he makes the Indentations In the sides of the thim ble, making there as well, as he deftly presses the tool against It Indentations that run absolutely uniform and true and that end at their lower edge In a perfectly true encircling line. It is astonishing and a pleasant thing to see how It develops and comes to Itself with the making -of these fa miliar indentations, and now there re mains to be done to It ouly the polish ing inside and out and you have the fmlshed gold thimble. Philadelphia Press. Row Bsolaaiatloaa Origin. "Halloo" and "hurrah," which are amoug the exclamations In common use, can be traced to curious origins. The author of "The Queen's English" tells os that the people of Camwood forest, Leicestershire, when they wish to hall any one at a distance call out not "halloo," but "haUoup." This, he takes It Is a survival of the times when one cried to another "A loupl A loupP or, as we should say, "A wolf I A wolf!" "Hurrah," according to high authority, ts derived from the Blavoulo "huroj," "to paradise," a battle cry which voiced the prevailing belief that all soldiers who fell In the fight went straight up to paradise.
