Jack Burns Knocked Ont by Mike Bren-
nan In tho Second Round.

New YoRK, Nov. 14.-Mike Brennan,
the champion heavyweight of Mon
tana, defeated Jack Burns of Jersey
City early this morning in very tame
fight, which about 100 sporting men
iourneyed through the mud TO resort
some distance from Jamaica, L. L., to
SEE.
II was nearly o'clock when the men
entered the ring. Brennan was consid-
erably heavier than his opponent and
began to set the pace at once. The
gloves they Wore weighed about four
ounces and little damage was done to
either in first round. sBrennan sent his
right to Burns jaw early in the second
round and the latter seemed dazed. A
straight lcft-hander in the wind, fol-
lowed by right-hand upper-cut, set
tied Burns, who fell to the floor and re-
manned there for half minute. Many
of the spectators suspected that the fight
was fixed" The stakes were $3.50 a
side and a purse Of 800. Dan Gallagher
was referee.

KANSAS Cry, Nov. l2.-In Its issue
of the week the Farmers Adeocate, the
official paper of the Farmers Alliance

lowing to say of the future of the party:
"We shall at once commence to mar

are many prejudices 70 be overcome.
Sectional lines must be abolished. In
terests which are identical must be
brought together, and the combined
forces of the agricultural and laboring
classes must be consolidated against the
forces of the corporations, monopolies,
trusts, syndicates, and moneyed aristo-
Gratis who have for years Toasted upon
the substance of the people. The people
simply ask for iustice-that alone; and
that, by the eternal, they will have.
1T has been, and is, the holy mission
of the Farmers Alliance to subdue this
sectional prejudice, 1t is full time for
this nation to become united. Let one
flag float over us, and one spirit so per-
fectly pervade our hearts that we shall
be able and willing to stand shoulder to
shoulder in the great army that must
make lasting conquest of the hosts of
corporate greed that are fattening upon

Senator PaImer's Contribution,

There is a good story told about Senator
Palmer when he was living in Washington
1t was his custom to go to church every
Sunday morning, and also his custom to
put single dollar on the plate. AS he
passed into church one Sunday morning,
accompanied by his private secretary, he
began to search through his pockets with a
dismayed look on his face. Turning to his
companion he asked for the loan of a dollar,
explaining that he had nothing but 50
bill. The secretary could not accommodate
the senator, but bright thought suddenly
seemed to strike the latter, and he ex-
claimed:
"Oh, well, I can fix it."
"You wouldn't make change off the plate,
would your" asked the secretary, Mortified
at the thought.
''Never mind how will do it," replied
the senator; ''you will see it done"
When the plate came around the senator
gravely took out his 50 bill, tore it in two
pieces in the middle, and laid one piece on
the plate. After the services were over he
walked forward to where the stewards
were counting the collection money, and
asked the one who had come down his
aisle if mutilated 81 bill had been found
on the plate.
eyes, and we don't know what to do
with it," was the mans reply.
"Well," said the senator, "here's the
other half, and you can have it for ST.
That will make your half worth 81 to you,
and 81 is all ever give"
He got the dollar.-New York Press

Some Odd books.

At Warsenstein, in Germany, there is
perhaps one of the most curiously original
collections of books in the world 1t is
really botanical collection. Outwardly
each volume presents the appearance of a
block of wood, and that is what it actually
is; but minute examination reveals the
fact that it is also complete history of
the particular tree which it represents.
At the back of the book the bark has
been removed from space which allows
the scientific and the common name of the
tree to be placed as a title for the book.
One side is formed from the split wood of
the tree, showing its grain and natural
fracture; the other side shows the wood
when worked smooth and vanished. One
end shows the grain as left by the saw and
the other the finely polished wood.
On opening the book it is found to con-
tain the fruit, seeds, leaves and other prod
ucts of the tree, the moss which usually
grows upon it's trunk and the insects which
feed upon the different parts of the tree.
These are supplemented by we'll printed
description of the habits, usual location
and manner of growth of the tree. In fact,
everything which has a bearing upon that
particular tree secures place in this Won
derful, useful and valuable collection

A VoraciOus Pike.

A female pike weighing twenty-nine
pounds has been found in the lake at
Ewhurst park, Basingstoke, the seat of
Lord Alexander Russell. 1t had appar-
emily met its death in the vain attempt to
swallow one of it's own species weighing
nine pounds. The two fish, in the position
in which they were found, are being stuffed
at Winchester. Pike have died in this
manner before, and it is doubtful whether
or not these should be regarded as in
stances Of voracity or pure accidents. Pike
like many other fish, frequently do battle,
and it has been suggested that when two
savage fish rush headlong at one another
the smaller one might easily enter the jaws
of the larger. Once in there would be no
getting out again, for the pixies mouth is
lined with hundreds of sharp teeth, which,
like those of the shark, point throatward
AS an undoubted instance of pikish voraci-
ty there is an unusually well authenticated
record of pike of two pounds first swal-
lowing trout of one pound, and shortly
afterward while the tail of the trout was
still in its throat, seizing an artificial bait

mangled human flesh. Instead they saw
q tall German, who stood ruefully rubbing
the back of his head with his left hand,
while in the other hand he held a new hat
which he was brushing against his trous-
ers to rid it of dust.
"Why did you jump Off" indignantly
asked the conductor
Ter hat, mine new hat, him blow off

ductor said as he pushed the German for
ward toward the train
milne hat, him cost Elm tollar; him blow
off unit yoomp. Him vas a new hat"
This last sentence was said for the en-
lightenment Of the indignant passengers,
who were applying anything but compli-
mentary remarks to the man with the
broken head. The following morning the
fellow was again passenger on the same
train, and when he saw the conductor he
at once apologized for having jumped from
cannon ball'' train.
"Glad to know you've learned some
sense; you'll not try that game any more"
said the conductor.
"Yaw, I vas so sorry. Him knocks a

A Big Phantom Shin.

The largest phantom of the deep ever
heard of was that of the old Frisians. This
was the Mannigfual, which was so large
that the captain had to gallop about on
horseback to give his orders, and whose
masts were so high that boys going aloft
to attend to the sails came down gray
headed men. 1t was in trying to pass the
Strait of Dover that this huge vessel
scraped the rocks, and so made the white
cliffs, of Albion. And yet, perhaps, she
was not so large after all as the French
phantom Chasse-Foudre. This vessel was
so long that she took seven years to tack
and her cables were the circumference of
St. Peters dome. Twenty thousand men
could maneuver on her maintop, and in
order to provision the crew when sent aloft
each block was fitted up as tavern. But
this phantom ship was manned by good
and deserving mariners, who found little
to do and plenty of meat and drink on
board of her.-Chambers' journal

Ol1vo InOTno uliler'S ret monkey.
Unlike the common marmoset, which
destroys everything it touches, he is natu-
rally gentle. A white moth which was
once given him to eat he took in his dainty
fingers examined it closely on all sides
and then let it go without hurting it in the
least.
Sleepy time comes as early as o'clock,
and he requires no coaxing to go to bed
Off he starts on a gallop, but on reaching
his box he pauses, stands upright, raises
the blanket cover with one little hand,
leans over and peers in with comical air
of looking under the bed for burglar.
Finding things all right he glances around
the room to see that all Is safe there, then
dives under the blanket, resting his feet
(or hinder hands) ON the edge of the box a
moment, while his long tail curls itself up
from the tip like a watch spring and
passes in under the body. when he instant
ly drops under the cover. Often as we have
extremely funny.
Once inside his bed with his cherished
tail he sits down with this member stand
ing up before him on edge, like wheel,
thrusts his head down between his knees
beside it, and thus arranged in a compact
bundle, almost as round as ball, he
sleeps, the top of his head on the floor and
his nose buried in his fur. How he can
breathe is problem. Soon after he is in
bed we hear the most tender, sweet and
birdlike calls and cries, which are. e,.really
touching, for they seem like lamentations
for his mates or dreams of home.-Olive

Photographing a Bullet.

Nothing is too difficult for the expert
menter to attempt-witness the photo
graphs of rifle bullets in motion, obtained
recently by two Austrian officers. Scien-
tifc journals of high standing considered
this feat so difficult that at least one of
them Ga Nature, of Paris) refused to be-
lieve that it had been done, even after the
publication of the pictures, and discredited
the conclusions drawn from them by the
officers. Yet on examining the original
photographs (Which were not as large as
ones little finger nail, and so had to be pho
tographed on a larger scale when pub
lished) the editors had to confess that they
were not only genuine, but the results of
wonderful knowledge of photography and
skill in manipulation. The condensed

plainly be seen, and from its shape inter

proper shape of rife bullets.-New York

Poets Are Not Like Birds.

The late George H. Boxer wrote to his
friend, R. H. Stoddard: Read used to tell
story of some Yankee poet who resolved
to wait for an impulse from the Muse. He
waited thirty years, and at the end of that
time concluded himself no poet, although
his youthful poems gave promise of great
things. That man perhaps wanted but in
dustry to make him immortal hold that
there is a labor connected with all great
literary achievements sufficient to drive
any but man of genius stark mad. This
the world will never believe. 1t has an
idea that poets write as birds sing, and it
is this very false idea which robs us of half
our honors. Were poetry forged upon the
anvil, cut out with the ak or spun in the
mill, my heaven! how men would wonder
at the processl What power, what toll,
what ingenuity"
