SHE HAS RESIGNED.
The Mayoress of KiOwa Ha
Thrown Up Her Job.

The Mayoress of KiOwa Has
Thrown Up Her Job.
Readers may remember the story of
the pIucky mayoress of Kiowa, Kan,
who was elected as joke, and who
turned the laugh the other way by clos
ing all the saloons in accordance with
the state law, and refusing to resign.
even when asked to do so in petition
signed by every man in town. A recent
dispatch brings information that she
has given up the fight and resigned,
says the Albany Journal.
She could stand the indignation of
the men. even when the lnalcontentS
were headed by her OWL husband. but
when the women went back. OH her she
weakened.
The conflict between material consid-
erations and moral ideas was more vio-
lent than is usually the case. 1t seems
that Klowa depends for its business
prosperity on the patronage Of the
ranchmen and cowboys of the surround
ing country. When the ''joints" were
closed by order of the mayoress boy
colt was instituted against the place. and
the merchants saw their profits dwindle
until ruin stared them in the face. The
stare of ruin is an uncomfortable thing
10 lace, anu 1t is small wonder t[laC the
citizens of Kiowa felt uneasy. But
when the men were in open revolt the
mayoress had still the aid and comfort
OF the WOmen's Christian Temperance
union, and with this backing she felt
that she was justified in continuing her
course though the heavens should fall.
When the fall styles appeared and the
women of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union discovered that the
money for the refurnishing of their
wardrobes was not contained, as usual,
in the pocketbooks of their husbands,
their ideas touching the sale of eliquor
and the majesty of the law underwent a
change. They began to talk. What
they said has not been recorded in de-
tail. but whatever it was, it made the
mayOresS squirm in her chair of Office,
and at last forced her to the unwilling
conclusion that women have 40 business
In Office.
She had appealed In vain to the low
ers of law and order, to the Woman's
Christian Temperance union, and to the
governor and attorney general of the
state. Single-handed she fought a gal
liant battle for right against might, and
her glory should be no ray the less be-
cause she did not win. What could be
done she did. The monotonous annals
of Kiowa will be Illuminated for all time
by the administration of plucky Mayor
Paxton.

Is not at all taking in appearance. There
are some who find it hard not to watch
the gentleman and let the other mans
good points pass unnOticed. In close
contests small matters have decisive
weight. Here and there you will find a
referee who will be Influenced by one
of the judges in whom he has conf
dence. In reality 1t is his business to
follow his own best judgment when the
choice falls to him.
Points in a Good Boxer.
The points of good boxer begin to
show as soon as the preliminary
''shake" is over and he has put I'M his
hands. His position counts for some.
thing. Is he well poised? is he equally
ready for attack or defense? Then he
leads, and you ask yourself is he good
straight hitter? If one man hits Straight
clean blows while the other swings.
though they land the same number of
times, would give the fight to the
former, other things being equal.
Watch each mans movement on his
feet. He who is supple and easy scores
q point from him who is stiff and awk-
ward, for the former would have the
better chance of firing his opponent out
in long contest. Clever feintfng is a
point.
Does the boxer betray his intention.
or does he deceive his adversary? A
blow well parted counts for the defense
as surely as blow we'll landed counts
for the man who delivers it. In general.

Judges and referees, the best boxers fire.
nSSsSiitly missed the medals. 1t is on this
subject that have been asked to give
Sn opinion.
A sport in which the best men do not
win can never hold place in popular
favor. Participants and spectators soon
fire of unfair contests. The sentiment
IF justice is deep-seated and easily Of
tended. Spectators of boxing contest
are quick to rise in protest at a decision
which looks bad. But they are not al
ways right, even when nearly unani
nous; indeed. the kickers are much
more often wrong.
1t is impossible for referee to please
everybody; it is hard enough for him to
act so that his own sense of justice will
pc satisfied afterwards. But | believe
ehat this al d IouS position is generally
well filled.
1t should be remembered that in
crowd of 1000 or 5000 SPECTATORS there
sre ordinarily not more than fifty really
good Judges of boxing. And no great
proportion of so large number can be
aear the ring. 1t Is not easy to appre-
riate the fine points of boxing match
unless one is reasonably close to the
contestants.
Then, too, with good judges and a
lalr view there Will be room for differ
once of opinion. l have sat with Billy
Edwards. for instance, in box at the
metropolitan opera house during the
Amateur Athletic unions contests, and
have disagreed with him more than
pnce In the course of the evening. And
perhaps some other experienced man
would be present and side first with one
Of US and then with the other. When.
On such occasions, | have found myself
opposition to the referee, l have always
remembered that he was nearer to the
bowers, and might have noticed some
thing which escaped me.
In general, however, the points of a
good boxer should be clearly visible to
the trained eye, and there should be
few mistakes in the decisions. But a
referee is beset by many temptations.
1t is hard for any man to be perfectly
impartial. He sees two men come into
the ring. and perhaps at the very out
set he notices one of them to do some
Thing which is little unmanly.
1t is almost impossible for him to pre-
vent being set against such a contest

Augusta assented, land to their ever

out little BERTHE Wilcox, excitedly.
''That's capital, and we'll have be-
wildering array of things that bachelors
like, and we'll make more money and
give more satisfaction than ever bazaar
gave before in life"
And they did. There were pocket
handkerchiefs with initials and with
out, in little boxes Of half dozen each,
and there were necktleS of all kinds,
which any bachelor could buy with con-
fdence, knowing that his women friends

there were silk handkerchiefs and silk |
protectors, and gloves and key chains, |
and the kind of writing paper that men |
like. There were boxes for collars and |
cuffs, already filled. and silk umbrellas, |
and scores of other things that any SEN
sible man would be willing to give up |
good, hard dollars for, because he could
see use in them.
1t is by no means to be supposed that
women and their needs and fancies
were wholly neglected in this bazaar.
Not at all. There were wonderful things
to appeal to woman's purse-tray-
cloths and cut-work and bags of every
kind, because bags do appeal to any
woman nightly, and many other things
beside; but the greater part of the dis
play was for men, and particularly for
unmarried men. And the wisdom of
Augusta was shown when the profits of
the bachelors bazaar were counted up,
for they were three times as much as
any affair of that kind had ever re-
turned before.

JIM's STORY.

I'll tell you plain, if don't try
TO brace myself right firm, I'll cry.
This soft wind and this haze and sun
And the gold and red that melt and run
And splash the hills-and she not here
To say things about the dying year!
Didn't tell you? Oh l see
They called her Dora-all but me;
For she was delicate lady born,
And 1-wel, l was huskin' corn:
So called her miss. She was stayin here
For the country air the heft of year.
Sometimes she'd sit out under a tree
And watch the hired man work-that's me;
But she got SO frail-like along in the fall
That she didn't weigh nothin' wraps and all.
And the women folks got me to lend hand
Movin' her out i'll the sun to be tanned.
That's what they said, but she didn't seem
To care about jokin-juSt wanted to dream
And look at the foliage gold and red.
On the hills. and talk about bein' deadi
Cheerful? We'll, no; not exactly that;
But used to putter around where she sat,
Jus Just watchln her. sort Of under the rim
Ever have that feelin'? Well, never cared
For a girl that was well. but if I'd dared
Ia a-told her how it made me thrill
When stole look at her, sittin' SO still
And holdin' the red leaves in her hands,
Quotin' some song about lotus lands
Some place where it's always afternoon
In voice that was soft and sweet as a tune
And so just listened from under the rim
VI my hat sort o wishin' she call me Jim
That kind of girls amt fer such as me-
Nor fer nobody else fers can see:
For they jist creep into hired mans heart
When the leaves turn red ana the brown burs
part;
And then when it SHOWS and the skies are
lead
And it's still in the house-you know who's
dead!
I've no right to murmur, but somehow vet,
Try as hard as may. can never forget
How thrilled when her white hand touched
my arm;
And now when the trees are red on the farm
Sometimes listen from under the rim
OF my hat, sort Of wishin she'd call me Jim

A GARDEN THEOLOGY.
THE LILY.


In a garden
Old, deserted, walled about, and Ivy green
Stood statue,
Once fountain, whence the waters long had
flown.
Some master-hand invoked the marble. -
Chiseied out the bas- relief;
Left the impress OF his genius
On that Niobe Of grief.
NOisOme weeds, fierce,
Bristl1ng nettles ali athirst, The waters drank !;
Rude usurpers
OF the basin, where the lilies used to bank,
Quite departed was their sceDter.
Save remnant OF their power,
Strangely throned in lonely grandeur
One fair, peerless lotus flower.
THE BIRD.
Mid the tree tops
Over-arching, sang bird the whole day long,
Incense breathing
Stood the flower, listening ever to the song.
A matin trilled he, piped a vesper
Filled with melody the air
Lived for love- and knew it rapture,
Till an arrow found him there.
From the larches
Swooning dropped he, all the melody
a-husht;
Dropt upon the e.
Lotus bosom, and the fragile blossom
crushed.
Dew-drops from her heart distilling,
Failing balm-like on the wound.
Called to life again the song bird

stem;

Then perched him on. and moaned re.
QUEEN.
All toned anew his rapturous voice
To notes of plaintiff woe
Loves last beQuest. poured forth upon
The lotus lying low
An angel wing
Those petals stirred, their pathos thrilled to
bliss;
Renewed the cup.
A chalice pure, for sacrfcial kiss.
A bird sang on his threnody;

The bitterness of death was not

The public interest in boxing was

Of spectators. Such great numbers of
people have the right to expect fair

fair and crooked work meet an equal

much chance for reform. says Prof.
Mike Donovan in the Detroit News.
