Sunshine.

Light is necessary to health. People
who live in gloomy places, say state
prisons, for example, are always peal1ish.
Owls affect the twilight and the dark,
and what miserable mopes they are.
Eagles love the sunshine, and how strong
of wing they are and how exultingly
they soar. 1t is true that one may have
too much sun, but it is cheering to see
the sunlight, even when it is necessary
to sit in the shade. How it enlivens us
in winter, exhilarates us in spring, en-
hances our appreciation of the shade in
summer and charms us in glorious au-
tumn.
In September, when Old Sol seems to
have stolen few pale rays from the
moon wherewith to temper his fiery
glories, and all through gorgeous Oct
ober - nay, even in November, and
sometimes up to mid-December, and
often in windy March-how delightful is
the sunshine of our happy latitude.
A blessing on the sum- "Of this great
world both eye and SOUL" source of life
and health and beauty, type of the light
that shall be, symbol of the smile OF

"It is just A o'clock" remarked gen

the Astor House.

there with him looking at a watch. MY

DR.. Norvin Green, the president of the
Western Union Telegraph company, and
he always gets here at o'clock to the
minute" said the first speaker.
An investigation as to the hour was
made and it was found that it was Just
exactly o'clock, as any one who is
acquainted with the movements Of Dr.
Green would certainly have known. If
he is well or in the city he very seldom
deviates a minute in the time that he
reaches the Astor House. He always
leaves his Office in the Western Union
Building at $3.50 o'clock p. IN. and strolls
leisurely up to the Aston House.
The regularity with which he reaches
this place every day has become hobby
with him and he prides himself upon it.
He says that all his movements have the
same clock-like precision as does his
appearance at the hotel. He is so sure
that he will never be much out of the
way that he has an understanding with
a number of people who frequent the
Aston House that they can always expect
him to treat if he is ever five minutes
out of the way in his arrival, unless ht
should be sick or out or town or on day

whistled to Death.

1t is alleged that for a generation the
people of Alexandria, Va, have been
afflicted with the whistling distemper.
1t has often puzzled the good people of
Alexandria to know why General Albert
Pike changed his place of residence from
this place to Washington a few years
ago. His residence at the corner Of
Cameron and st. Asaph streets was one
of the incest in this town. He had his
magnificent library there, and when a
few years ago he announced that he had
determined to remove to Washington
many were the conjectures as to the
cause of the move, and many were the
causes assigned.
Only few days before his death the
matter was cleared up. In a converse
ton with a gentleman from this city the
general was asked why he had left this
city for Washington, and his reply was
because "the Alexandria people whistle
too much. Cor. Richmond Dispatch.

Something About the victOr's PugI-
list Career and How we HIts-HIs
Deadly Heart AHIt.

There is great satisfaction being ex-
pressed in pugilistic circles over the
victory of George Ii on at San Fran
cisco. Willis. the Aastral:an. was
knocked down IN the fif.h round. Very
few believed hat his defe at would be
ac ompiished IN so short a period of
time. A minute description of the five
rounds illustrates the scientific abili-
ties of the men better than could 9th
erwise be accomplished. For that pur-
pose typograph of each round is here
given:
First Round-The men spared care
fully for fully a minute, Dixon show
ing the greater advantage IN reach.
Then Dixon led and caught Willis on
the jaw, sending HIM down. When he
rose there was the liveliest kind of a
rally, the men slugging each other at
close quarters, Dixon plainly having
the best of it. Willis Rugged as much
as possible
Second Round-It was opened eau
tiously by both men. Dixon rushed.
but accomplished nothing. A moment
later he planted swinging left on the
Australian jaw. Several sharp rallies
and much clinching followed, then they
kept up a see-saw on each others jaws
at the closest possible range. The
round closed with cheers for both.

FELL AMONG MIND READERS.
A Young Bridegroom's Embarrassing Ell
perience st the Board of Trade.

A Young Bridegroom's Embarrassing Ex-
perience at the Board of Trade.
A day or two ago, few minutes be
fore the opening of the board Of trade,
there stepped into one of the elevators in
the building a well known commission
man and a country customer. The coun-
tryman was young, fresh faced, un-
sophisticated looking chap, who was in
Chicago for the first time looking after a
couple of cars of wheat that he had
shipped in. AS the elevator rose he casu-
ally remarked to the commission man;
81 was married last night, and this is a
sort of bridal trip"
Congratulations were extended by the
commission man as they stepped out into
the hall leading to the exchange. Among
the others who rode up in the elevator
was a certain blonde young man whose
love for practical joke has made him
rather famous on the floor. He had
CHANGED to stand back to back with the
young countryman, had overheard the
confidential admission made by him to
his friend, and as they stepped from the
elevator he managed to get good look
at Mr. Younghusband
An hour or so later, when he had a
few moments to himself, he stepped over
to the telegraph counter and wrote upon
a blank: 81 have bet 500 to $40 that
you were but recently married. Do
win my bet?" This he folded and placed
in an envelope, and, calling a messenger
boy, pointed out Mr.. Younghusband,
and babe him deliver the message.
He told few of his cronies on the
floor what he had done, and the young
countryman was watched with consider
able interest by dozen or twenty trad
ers in various parts of the crowd. He
received the message from the boy with
a half doubling look, opened it slowly,
and as he comprehended its contents his
face was dyed deep crimson, while a
foolish smile lifted the corners of his
mouth.
He looked about him sheepishly to see
if he could discover the author of the
message and then beat a rather precipi-
tous retreat. He failed to put in an APP
pearance again that day. subsequently
the author of the note asked the young
mans broker if he had said anything
about it.
Eyes, he did. And he was the most
surprised man you ever saw. He could
not imagine where the note came from,
and when he said goodby to me he OBJ
served: Dick, these board of trade fell
lows are too all fired smart for me-

them seem to be- And he went home

famous one with Cal Mccarthy, in
which Dixon won the title of champion

Third round-Both were very wary
at first Dixon then landed his left on
Willis body and the right on the jaw.
Neither blow did much damage.
Fourth round-After two minutes of
sparring Dixon rushed and landed on
Willis jaw and body several times, re-
ceiving two sharp raps in return. Both
were very quiet, and saved themselves
by lodging.
Fifth Round-This was opened like
the others. Neither seemed disposed
at first to rush matters. Toward the
close there.eas a sharp rally near the
ropes, in which it was give and take
for moment, though Dixon was
plainly landing harder and oftener.
Presently Dixon caught the Australian
on the jaw with his left and sent him
down. Willis rose to his hands and
! knees and took his ten seconds on the
floor. He arose a little groggy, but when
| Dixon rushed him he stood prepared to
receive the attack. He was not able to
do much, however, In the rally that

/ into contact with Willis jaw and he
went down fat on his back. He fell
heavily and lay like log. When ten
seconds had expired Willis seconds had
to lift him from the floor and Dixon
was declared the winner. The colored
man seemed as strong as when the
/ fight commenced.
The blow which finally knocked out
Willis was light one compared to a
dozen others which he had received.
Dixon was apparently uninjured, and
