The Dempsey-Turnbpn Prize Fight.

New York, October 9th.-Jack Dempsey,
the champion lightweight, and Robert
Turnbull, of Long Island, fought a fierce
eight-round battle, Queensherry rules in 4
public hall last night. Dempsey forced the
fighting from the start Both were evenly
matched. Turnbull weighing 125 pounds
and Dempsey ten pounds more. Eight
rounds were fought with savage fury.
Turnbull, though badly battered and bleed
ing never lost heart. On the fifth round
Dempsey swung his left heavily. The
blow seemed to cover the whole of Turn
bull 5 face, almost closing his left eye and
left the right in mourning for its fellow.
The loss of blood made Turnbull weak, but
his pluck was the surprise of everyone, for
he planted both his right and left on|
Dempsey's frontispiecc. The sixth round|
saw Dempsey blowing freely, and Turnbull|
visited his stomach heavily, but whenever
he led he got Il straight counter ON theI
chest end right-hander in the face.
Eighth round-Dempscy hit at Turnbull i
face and followed the hit up by counter]
ON the ear, then lowered his battery and
went for the stomach, while Turnbul1
countered at the chest. He fought to the|
end, and could do no more, and the verdict
was given against him. Though beaten,
according to the Queensbcrry rules, he was

the letter again, and then went merri-

The very first person he met on reach

pulled down over his hard brick-red
face, his big silver-mounted pipe in his
mouth, and long knife stuck in the

trousers, looked every inch a regular
Boer farmer. He glanced through the

gravely, although he was almost burst

"Klaas was right" said the Hotten-

He crouched down as he spoke, ex-

Van Zeel, angry as he was, was a good

A STORY OF SUFFERING.

Terrible Experience of the Crew of the
Wrecked schooner Brigham on Lake
nIichigan-Four Days on n Raft Without
Food in nIid-Lake.
MusKEGoN, MICH, September L
The crew of the wrecked schooner w. w.
Brigham was picked up in mid-lake Thurs
day by the schooner Walter Smith, and
landed here saturday. The unfortunate
men tell a terrible story of their expert
enco. The names of the men are James
O'Leary, Patrick Powers, Richard Bird
and Edward Wilson. The Brigham left
here on the 23d, loaded with lumber,
when she reached mld-lake, a violent
storm arose aud the schooner nearly
swamped. The men stood at the pumps
nearly all night. during which the storm
increased. At about ten O'Clock
Monday, the Brigham capsized, turning
completely bottom up. The men clam
bered on to the floating lumber, and with
the aid of piece of rope made a tenn
porary raft. Every sea swept over them,
and their sufferings can not be told.
Hunger and sleep pressed them at times,
but the meu were fighting for life, and
thought only of clinging to the raft.
Tuesday dawned without succor, and it
passed so slowly that 1t seemed an eter-
nifty to the half famished men tossed about
on the waves. A vessel was seen, but the
only signal they had, an old oilcloth
cloak, failed TO attract attention. An.
other weary night, and Wednesday
dawned upon the men on the raft
without any better prospects. Thurs
xu.l
rescued the shlpwrecked crew. Captain
Smith noticed some objects on the water
which he took to be human beings, and
bore down on them. He came in the
nick of time, for the suffering sailors
could not have held out much longer.
They had been without food from Monday
until Thursday. They are destitute.

The Little Boy Who Fished.

do not know the little boys name;
it is story my grandpapa told me
when L was wee girl and sat on his
knee.
But know the little boy lived great
many years ago, and that he went to
school in little log school-house, and
sat on high-board bench, so very
high that his small feet could not touch
the floor.
The little boy used to get very tired
sitting still, with nothing to do but
swing his feet hour after hour. sup
pose he often thought of the cool, shady
woods, where the birds were singing;
and of the brook, where the speckled
trout were hiding in deep places.
At any rate, one day, when he saw
littA gray mouse peeping out of cor
neg he laughed to himself, and pulling
asish-line out of his pocket, he balted
the hook with bit of cheese from his
dinner basket, and began to fish, throw
ing his line out as far as he could toward
the mouse-hole.
1t was not long before the teacher saw
him.

ny, coloring up.
What are you fishing for?"
"For a mouse, ma am"
The scholars all laughed, and the
teacher could hardly help laughing her.
self But she looked sober enough.
Every WE'LL" she said, Il will give
you five minutes to catch the mouse.
If you don't get him in that time. 1 must
punish you for playing in school"
Johnny went on fishing for the mouse.
with his cheeks burning and his heart
beating very fast and choking in his
throat.
Pretty soon the mouse jumped out of
his hole again.
The bated hook lay very near; he
could smell the cheese.
He crept out-foolish little mouse
nearer still, and nearer, all unconscious
of the bright eyes that were watching
him. He took one nibble-how good
it tasted He took another, and anoth-
"rve got him!" shouted Johnny,
jumping up; o, ma'am, I've got himl"
The scholars all laughed again; but
they were very glad Johnny was not
to be punished. | think the teacher
was glad, too, though she didn't say so.
AS for Johnny, he let the little mouse
go again, and he never did any more
hshing in school. - Youths Companion
