effects of prize fighting there is no diff

may know its effects more particularly

leads to fighting, so fighting leads to
quarrelling' and to hatred. 1t is useless
to say that people ever fight without
hating each other. The very passions

and especially among fighters. They
begin with their fists, but they soon get
past that, and take to knives and pis-

Men Who nreM the Lony.hoM.

When old Gov. Scott, Of Kentucky,
returned from his first visit to the then
part of Virginia known as Kentucky,
he declared that the soil of Kentucky
was so fertile that if tcn-penny nail
was planted in it, it would grow up in
to a crowbar. He was eloquent in his
description Of the size Of the trees and
the density of the forests and cane
brakes. He averred that he saw herds
of elk there, and that the horns of the
bucks were ten feet wide from point to
point. When asked how those clks
could get through the forests and cane
brakes he described, he replied that
was their business-not his.
While in Kentucky he gathered
leaf of clover which was larger than
silver dollar and pressed and dried it
in his pocket book. He was accustom-
ed to wind his applications in regard
to Kentucky by asserting that the soil
was so very fertile there that clover
leaf grew to be larger than dollar,
and would then pull out his pocket
book, produce dollar and then take
out the dried clover leaf and put it
upon the dollar, thus demonstrating
that it more than covered it. He on
another occasion boasted that on the
strength of that single leaf Of clover
he had palmed off some of the biggest
lies that human credulity ever swallow
ed. Gov. Scott, it must be admitted,
was, in his day, quite proficient in
the art of lying.
But the most original and ready Of
all liars, was an old army scout that
settled in western Texas. He had won
such reputation, that general in the
army in his cabin on his way to mill.
tary post, halted and called upon him,
informing him that he had heard of
him so often all along the frontier that
he desired to make his acquaintance
and hear him tell of the strange sights
he had seen in the far West. The old
scout thereupon proceeded to say that
he had indeed seen strange sights out
West-that on one scouting trip he
had come upon a high mountain that
consisted of n single crystal of diamond,
so very clear that he could see through
it herds of deer and elk Oh the other
side and that when he was going
around it to get at them, he came upon
buffalo that was in q standing posi-
tion, and was entirely petrified, even the
end of the animals tail, which was in
an erect position over his back, as he
was about to charge, when petrifaction
set in, was also petrified.
"Stop,' said the general, "now I've
got you. The gravity would have
caused the end to drop down."
NO." replied the scout, "the gravi-
ty was petrifed, too"

What Becomes OF Prize Fighters.

Ou want TO KNOW now mucn uam-
age prize fighting does to the human
anatomy, do your said Ben Hogan,
the evangelist and ex-prize fighter
"Well, take look at me. l am in
much better condition than | was when
| reformed, three and half years ago,
but l estimate that my vitality is only
fifty per cent of what it would have
beer ifI had never been fighter.
The shocks and bruises that man gets
in the ring hurt him more ten years
afterwards than they do when he gets
them. l have been terribly beat on
the head in my time, and those old
wounds reopen now regularly once a
year. When l was twenty-five years
old | wa. so strong and healthy
that nothing could tire me. l used to
think that man was simply a fool
who got tired. But at present, when |
ought by rights to be still stronger, it
worries me even to stand on a platform
and talk"
rs the ill-health of fighters due to
the pounding they get or to dissipa-
ton ?"
ut is due to both, and to one about
as much as another. But the terrible
bodily injuries they receive are beyond
dispute. The worst injuries are not al
ways those which knock a man out Of
his senses, like Sullivan's last blow at
Ryan. 1t is evident that that blow
landed on the jugular vein. This is a
well understood and much-coveted blow
among prize-fghters, not because it
it permanently disables man, but be-
cause it makes him insensible so long
that he can't come to time. Severe
bruises about tho chest and ribs are
much more apt to inAict permanent in
jury"
"How do prize fighters die, as far as
your observation goes p
"Thcy die prematurely of weakness
and disease brought on by their inju-
ries. In fact, they die at or about the
time when, if they had not been prize
fighters, they would have been at the
prime of life. Charley Gallagher died
at the age of 30, of consumption, caused
by an injury received in his fight with
Davis, who fell on him, planting his knee
on his left breast. Brandy bears the
name of killing Tom Sayers, but in my
opinion, he died of the injuries inflicted
by John G. Heenan. Heenan jumped
off train and burt himself, and some
lay the blame of premature death on
that accident, but he died of consump-
tipn, produced, in my opinion, by over,
training, and by the punishment he got
in his fights with Sayers and King.
John Morrissey's death is laid on
Brights disease, but he had stood beat
ing enough to kill ten men, and be-
lieve that is what killed him. Yankee
Sullivan is said to have been killed by
a vigilance committee, but the truth is
that he went crazy from injuries to the
head he had received, and committed
suicide by opening an artery. Patsy
Riordan, one of the grandest men ply
sically that ever lived, died at SO, a
complete physical and mental wreck
Bob Riddle died the same way, the
very flesh dropping off his fingers
Joe Womble died in Montreal in
sane asylum. And so they 60, all OF
them dying at what ought to be the
prime Of life"
