A Judge.s Jocose Retort.

'I think the late Judge Devens," said
Mr.. Arthur Macy to me the other day,
''was the greatest after dinner speaker
ever heard. 1 remember striking in
stance of his readiness in jocose retort.
He made five minute speech at club
dinner, and in the course of his remarks
he established his claim to his place at
the dinner by instancing his authorship
of large volume that was made up of
tragedy and comedy and of many start
ling phases-sone dramatic, some ludi-
crous, some pathetic-of human life and
nature.
sThe book was the 1920 volume of
Massachusetts laws. Immediately a
member was on his feet and thanking
the Judge. He had been on jury once,
and the justice who was trying the case
said that a verdict should be rendered
unhesitatingly in accordance with a de-
cision that was contained in that very
volume of which the judge had just
spoken. The verdict was rendered inn
mediately and the juryman secured a
good nights rest, for which he was
thankful to Judge Devens and his book.
sWithout moments hesitation,
Judge Devens replied, IF the gentle
man will initiate the example of the jus.
tice Of whom he speaks, and peruse the
entire volume that 1 have spoken of,
assure him that he will secure many a
good nights rest. boston Globe.

ventist and was made the pastor of the
church at Somerville, Mass. He had
also preached at Seabrook, N. H., and
Plymouth, Mass, and for the last year
and half was pastor Of the church Of
his sect at fremont, Mass. All this
while he was reading hard. His Scotch
blood and his experiences in the prize
ring gave him nice taste for disputa-
lions, and he wrestled very vigorously
with those who differed with him in the
illogical matters This taste for fighting
at length unsettled his own faith, for
when he had vanquished all the doubt
ers in sight he fought the questions out
with himself, and found, when the smoke
of battle had lifted, that he was himself
hereto.
Like Robert Elsmere, he at once re-
signed from his passionate. He was now
out Of a job He was ambitious to be-
come writer and lecturer, but he did
not feel that he was sufficiently well
educated to succeed in the field he
aspired to enter. For further study he
needed money. What more natural
than for the expire fighter to resume
his old calling and get what gold he
lacked. No sooner said than done. So
he SHE'D his castor into the ring and then
gave Mr.. Murray good whaclzing.
Probably we shall hear from the
reverend" Mr.. Frazier soon again in
new capacity.

A Rich but unapproachable Country

There are said to be five counties in
Missouri and eleven i'll Arkansas, COM
prising a strip Of country 1875 miles
square, that have no railroad communi-
cation vsath the outside world, and are
yet wonderfully rich in zinc ore. This
section of the country lies south and
west of the Memphis railroad, north and
west of the Iron Mountain, south and
east of the St. Louis and San Francisco
and north of the Arkansas river. The
zinc carborates Of this region yield So
per cent. and the "jack" 60 per cent. Of
pure zinc ore.
A traveller, Mr.. w. E. Winner, of
Kansas City, says that he found in the
mountain cave even larger than the
Mammoth cave. The manner OF life OF
the people is extremely primitive. They
live in log houses without windows.
Bacon is their main staple OF diet and
tobacco their only solace. They seldom
work sa long as they have food and to-
bacco in the house.. But they are virtu-
Gus, peacaable and kindly disposed to

FROM PULPIT TO PRIZE RING.
Tho Remarkable Career of an Eastern
Lightweight Pugilist.

Tho Remarkable Career of an Eastern
Lightweight Pugilist.
The Reverend" William Frazier and
Mr.. James Murray fought prize fight
to finish for the lightweight champion
ship of Now England the other night at
New Bedford. Mass. Mr.. Frazier was
the victor, as he had been in many
mill before. The story Of Frazier's life
is much more queer than that of Robert
Elsmere, as told by Mrs. Humphry
Ward, and singularly enough theolog-
ical doubts have vexed the mind OF the
prize fighter just as they did the intel
lectuals of the orthodox English clergy
man.
Frazier is of, Scotch descent and a
native of Maine. He went to sea as
boy, and in the rough sports of the fore
castle took his first crude lessons in what
is called the manly art of self defense.
He rapidly developed great skill, and
though he is little fellow, being only 9
feet inches tall and weighing only 1870
pounds, it was soon found out that very
much larger mon could not stand up
against him. Before he knew it he saw
he had become professional prize
fighter, and in little while he was the
champion lightweight of the world.
His distinction as sparring expert soon
brought him pupils, and in a little while
he found himself teacher of boxing and
director of physical exercises at Willis
ton academy. Later he served in the
same capacity at Easthaznpton, Exeter,
Andover, Amherst, Williams, Wesleyan
and Harvard. The relations Frazier
had at these institutions Of learning
with students and professors inclined
the little pugilist to himself become
student.
After several years of study Frazier
felt that it was his duty to give up the
prize ring and give his talents to the
church. lie had become a Second Ad-
