A COUNTRY exchange remarks senten-
tiously, 'pugilism pays better than
journalism. That depends. The same
might be said of burglary. Occasionally
very large sums are won, or gained in
the brutal prize ring, but it cannot be
said that pugilism pays in any sense. It
is almost automatic that money which
comes easy goes easy. Great fortunes
which come suddenly usually do not stay
with the men to whom they come
and never with his family. Men
who die rich are almost universally men
who have acquired riches honestly and
slowly. Pugilism cannot pay better.
even in money, than any honest and
respectable profession. and if il does not
pay in money it surely cannot pay in
any other respect The great mill
which took place at New Orleans few
weeks ago certainly did not pay Sullivan.
1t is said that the Olympic club realized
a very small percentage for the use OF
its building. Corbett came away
with a large sum Of money, nobody
knows how much. but Corbett is not all

PROFESS PICKERING, now in Are
quipa, Peru, makes some very ugly as
pensions against the satellites of Jupiter.
He says:
Jupiter's fourth satellite is very dark
now. The third satellite is girdled by a
very dark belt in the northern hemi.
sphere inclined twenty degrees TO the
orbit. Il can be best seen during transit.
The second satellite is probably not
spherical. The first satellite is egg
shaped and revolves end over end nearly
in the orbital plane.
It does not seem quite fair after Pro
fessors Barnard and Young had con
cluded such an agreeable truce concern
ing that alleged fifth satellite Of Jupiter
that Pickering should rush in and try e
disturb the meeting by saying NEAR
things concerning the four others.

THE HUMAN JACKASS

AS Defined by the Sarcastic Ed
ltol OF the "Wheat and Chaf''
! Column OF the hzinneap-
oils journal.
Besides the human hog, an ami
NAL which has been considered in
its different phases In.ctthe natural
history articles viii 5c. shave ap-
peared in this colur6oSss there is
another cross which is Deserving of
mention. The animal now under
discussion is the human iackass.
This species abounds in all parts
OF the country, but is generally
found in the big cities where it
roams around at it's own sweet will,
and brays at the slightest excuse.
IT strays into = business Offices
where men are busy, and brays adj
vice at them and wags it's ears to
emphasize it's remarks while the
victim groans a melancholy OBJ
ligato to the raucous and strident
tones. It is impervious to hints
and can only be removed with
club welded by a vigorous arm.
1t is beast which has no pride in
its ancestry and no hope Of pos
terity, but is self-suficient in its
own generation and can transmit
none of its detestable character
istics. And that is the only good
thing about it. If it could only
realize that it was iackass it
might go off and hide itself, but it
regards itself as a sage and para
gon of perfection and cannot even
feel its own ears. The only thing
it is good for is to serve as a tar
get for the practice Of sarcasm. be-
cause the shafts do not penetrate
its hide, and consequently the tar
get remains intact and does not
have to be renewed.

a Chance to Choose.

In the early days of railroads, the
passenger had "Hobson's Choice'' of
accommodations-take the passenger
coach (such as it was) Or walk. Dur
ing the war of the Union, Mr.. Pullman
came upon the scene and invented
the sleeping car. Still it was ''Hob-
sons Choice'-unless you paid an adj
ditional charge, and tipped the porter
also. Now it is a fact that there are
many persons, rich enough to buy a
railroad ticket, and Intelligent enough
to travel without getting lost, who do
not care to pay extra for either comfort
or luxuriousness. The Burlington
Route was quick to recognize the ex.
istence of this fact. and it equips all
its principal passenger trains with re-
clining chair cars, and makes no ex-
ira charge to any one for occupying
seats in them. It's morning and even
ing trains between St. Paul and Mime
apolis on the north, and Chicago and
st. Louis on&the east and south, carry
these cars. Make q note of it, and ask
your home agent for tickets via the
Burlington Route, or write to W. J.
G. Kenyon, Gen. Pass. Agent, st. Paul,
MINI.
