@ THE CHANCE BLOW.
Some time ago 1t was said that q notable
night which took place in California was de-
cided bys chance blow. Now, hold that
there is no such thing as chance blow. When
: man reaches out to hit you with right or left
ne never knows whether he Is going to get
there or not. and the same may be said of any
blow, whether IL is delivered straight or with Q
swlne. The only possibility Of o chance
Knockout blow being given is where q beaten
man, making final struggle, hits out blindly
when ne is hardly able to stand, and, by the
merest accident and without any calculation or
science, gets in blow that settles his oppo-
nent beyond tho call of time. When man is
nghtlng under the rules he should not be al
lowed to hit with his elbow.
AMAN's BEST FIGHTING YEARS
vary according to whether be is of quick or
slow growth and development. A quick
growers heyday is from twenty-five to thirty.
After that he gradually declines. A slow
grower has his prime between twenty three
and thirty. But, after all, think that man
who takes good care Of himself is as capable a
fighter at thirty-fve as at twenty. Unfor-
tunately it is true that so few do take care Of
themselves that not one in a thousand retains
his full physical powers until that age. To-
bacco Is, think, a worse enemy OF the athlete
than drink. II man wants to drink, glass Of
ale or porter can be taken safely and even with
advantage, except while under the orders of a
trainers but tobacco, as all authorities agree,
affects the whole nervous system and is par
ticularly bad for the wind.

Particular About His Drinks.

was behind the bar. .rll take GIN" and he
poured himself out a thimbleful or two from a

keeper, with laugh. ''S'long, then"

you have?"

mo gin for me-" said the proprietor.
"Whisky is my drink" and he poured out his
own liquor from a different bottle from that
which he had set before his former customers.
This sort OF thing went on with variations for
an hour or two. The proprietor drank with
every one who asked him, but never took the
same liquor as his customer.
How is it," asked a man who had been look
ing on from his seat at table near by, "that
you can consume SO much liquor in the

THE FAMOUS SALT MINES
are located in the hills directly back of the
town. Nobody knows how old the mines NAV
be nor how many millions Of tons have been
taken out of them. In the year 1926 the
Spaniards found them old and well established,
having long been worked by the aboriginal
tribes, and ever since they have been
worked for the bene at Of the changing govern
ments, to this day furnishing the Columbian
government with about one-eighth Of its total
revenue.
Walking up steep hill to the most extensive
workings We witne ssed both the English and
the American systems of condensing salt-the
former in one big iron tank and the latter in
numerous small ones. In another large build.

blocks and all the moisture squeezed out of il

Valuable Breeds.

There is more or le. discussion among
sheep raisers as to the relative value of
Cotswold and Merino breeds. While
there is a great difference of opinion as
to t-.eir merits, a Utah authority in
sheep husbandry claims that there are
none who will dispute the fact that be-
tween these two breeds will be fought
the battle that will decide which is the
best sheep for our mountain and desert
ranges. Without doubt the Cotswold
eve is the best mother and the lambs are
more hardy than those of the Merino.
On the other hand, the genuine French
Merino yields much the larger clip, and
at the same time gives larger carcass
for the shambles. We believe, says the
authority referred to, that the coming
sheep for the western country will be
cross between these two breeds, having
the best qualities of the two judiciously
blended. This will take time, of course,
but, if all sheep raisers would strive to
that end. it would mean greater amount
of wool, a better grade of wool, and
higher price for it than we get now.

This new class are Of dwarf habit,
rarely exceeding four feet in height.
Wick believes that their beauty, which
exists in both flowers and foliage. will
soon place the French cannas among our
most popular bedding plants. The flow
ers range in color from the deepest Grim
son to light yellow, some being beauti-
fully notified. The spikes somewhat
resemble gladiolus, and the roots may be
kept over from one season to another,
like dahlias or gladiolus. Peter Hender-
son, who says that the introduction OF
these cannas makes new era in summer
planting. includes, with other varieties
the Gamma ehemani." The Gamma is re-
markable for it's tropical foliage and
crimson hued flowers of large size, which
are produced in masses on the summit
of whip-like stalks. A Gamma introduced
last season under the name General
Boulnger,' bears yellow flowers spotted
with crimson. A. Crozy, Edouard An
Dire, and Lutea Splendeus are numbered
among other desirable cannas.
