The boxing tournament given by the
Ceur dAlene Athletic Club last Thurs
day evening was the beat Of its kind
ever given in this vicinity. There were
in all six contests, and any one of them
was well worth the price of admission.
The club room was well filed with a
very orderly assemblage, and everythin
went off very smoothly.
| The first bout was between I.ant.r,
jung and Caligan, Of Fort Sherman. ana
was hotly contested from start to finish
Lautepung won all three rounds ON
points. Caligan, however, made it pretty
warm for him
The second event ON the program was
three rounds between Dan Donovan
and I. Weston Referee Ford gave the
bout to Donovan, who got first blood on
his opponent in the second round.
Next followed II. S. Jellum and Louis
Mason ia what started off to be the
hveliest affair of the evening. Jellum
had every advantage as to weight and
reach, but Mason made him hustle far
the entire three rounds. This was won
by Jellum.
In the fourth event. two feaths.
weights. Billy Kitchener and Phil
AyOtte. started at each other hammer
and tongs, but both weakened before
the hrst round was finished. This round
was given to Kitchener. The second
round started off as hotly as the frs.
and wound up jnst as tamely, with
Ayotte IN the lead, having also beeu
awarded knock-down. The third
round was a very quiet one, both boys
being out Of wind. Round and the
bout we're Awarded to Ayotte.
Martin Cooney and Boemke came to-
gether for the fifth contest. Cooney had
everything his own way in rounds and
:, landing pretty much when and where
he pleased. In the third round. how
ever, Boemke started in to make things
hum, and succeeded in getting in some
pretty stiff punches On Cooney, but not
enough TO save him from defeat.
The star event of the evening was the
one between Tom Costello and James
Day. II can hardly be said that the
men were evenly matched, as Costello
is somewhat taller and heavier than
Day. Besides, the latter had been sick
for some time before the contest. and
he should not have gone on at all. But
as II was he made a game fight, and
proved 70 those present that he is a
quick. cool boxer. He was awarded the
points in rounds and 9. but was taken
so sick in the third round that he was
unable TO go ahead Referee Ford
awarded the bout to Costello. The lat
ter was i'll fine trim, and put up first
rate exhibition.
Taken all in all the tournament was
big success. 1t is 10 be hoped the
club will soon give another such e1hibi-
ton.
John Ford acted as referee, and his
decisions for the most part were fair
and just. Mr.. J. Hasting held the
watch, and Dave Groves and J. q.
Adams were the judges.
Everyone did his duty in good shape,
and there were no unnecessary delays.

Successful xntertainnsnt By he Ysaae
xeno Club.

A large audience greeted the Young
Mems Club at the Post Hal on Monday
evening. nearly every reserved seat be-
ing taken. The entertainment reflected
high credit both on the club and the
community, az well AS on the perform
ers themselves. The chief features of
the evening were the two plays, 1.-The
Loan Of Lover" and BOX and Cox. -
These pieces are too well and fsvorably
known TO require comment.
As to the acting, every part was ex-
eelleDtly sustained. There was no weak
ness anywhere. The acting was really
remarkable for amateur work, and
would have done credit TO any stage.
There was only one striking fault which
was glazing throughout the greater part
Of both pieces actors failed to use
voice enough. Bob Robertson's imper-
sonation of Cox was very fine. Mr..
Foster deserves high praise for his
effective acting of Box. Miss Ferrall
acquitted herself admirably in both
plays. The natural and spicy acting of
Miss Minard was quite a revelation to
the audience. while George Connor
really did some superb work. Prof.
ieager's part gave him little scope, but
was admirably sustained.
The rest Of the entertainment CON
sisted of music by the Fourth infantry
orchestra and male quartet, a reading
by Mr.. Page, and recitation by Maud
Bristow. The work of the orchestra
was good as usual. The quartette, com
posed of the Rosen Bros. and Messrs.
Conner and Yeager rendered selection
most acceptably. Many of the audi
ence failed to recognize that the song
was also an impersonation of old men.
and consequently did not appreciate it
duly. Mr.. Pages reading was humor-
Gus and well received. Maud Bristow's
Polish Boy deserves more than pass
ing mention. 1t was more than well
done and showed much promise.
We congratulate the club on its ex-
ceilent performance, and We congratu-
late the community on the bright pros
poets for similar delightful entertain
ments in the future.
After the play there was an enjoyable
dance till IL o'clock.

Re-Adjustments of Population.

In the rapid settlement of new coun
tries, the towns usually become some

uiation has 10 go through a process o.
redlsposition under the stern law OF
necessity. The emigrants disembarl
from the railways in the new towns
They find these places TO be in bouy
ant and expansive condition. In the
western phrase, everything is booming
They do not stop TO enquire into the
resources OF the surrounding country
and TO judge whether those resources
have already been developed up TO a
degree that warrants the establishment
OF so many towns and the rapid increase
OF urban population. They find the
towns attractive. Life III them is more
entertaining and agreeable than in the
country. Thousands of these settlers
who immigrated with the intention of
going upon the land TO gain livelihood
remain IN the towns and set up stores.
shops, real estate Offices and agencies Of
one sort or another. They do not real
lie at first that they are living upon
each other and that they cannot perma.
nently maintain themselves unless there
is a considerable production of wealth
from natural sources in the neighbor-
hoods from farms, forests. mines or
fisheries, or from factories that supply
the peeds Of other communities.
After a time il becomes evident that
the towns are overgrown-tha they
contain too many people seeking 10 live
by selling commodities or by profes-
sional services or skill in the mechanic
trades. A period Of hard times sets in
and brings encouragement and lethargy

enthusiasm that formerly prevailed
Many people are forced out of the towns
against their will 10 gain living in the
country. Empty stores and shops are
seen and rent declines 10 moderate

manent basis, but the aggregate pro-
duciion OF wealth is constantly in
creasing. People are no longer living

from their old homes. or what they can
gain from each other 10y pushing up the
value oi town lots. but they
are compelling nature 10 yield up her
treasures in response 10 their labor and

These re adjustments Of population
are wholesome and beneficial. All man

There can I've no lasting prosperity in
a new state until large majority OF its
inhabitants gain their living in the

EXTRAORDINARY BARGAIN.
Hairs Been Dead One Week.
Fifty Cents Each.

This sign the Engl shman tackled to his
stand and calmly awaited a customer. 1t
is needless to say that the latter never
came, but within fifteen minutes a crowd
of jeering urchins gathered around the
stand and began demonstration. This
attracted the attention of the policeman on
the beat, who sauntered leisurely to the
place. The boys ran away and the blue
coat read the announcements
''Is it true?" he asked, this sign'"
Every word, replied the standkeeper
Fine English hares, especially imported,
fifty cents each"
But it don't say that. 1t says they have
been dead a week. If that's so I'm going
to take You in for VIC ating the health Or
dinance I'm going to take you in anyway
for selling game without license. You're
a nuisance at best"
And the policeman was on the point OF
taking the man off to the station house
when the dry goods n erchant arrived upon
the scene, and taking in the situation at a
glance explained that the matter was some
devilment of one of his boys and secured
the mans release. The hares were never
sold, but there was one youngster in the
employ of the mercI ant who received an
edmonton that day that he has never for
gotten.-New York Herald.

The First Almapacs.

The almanac, properly so called in its orr
gin, is not merely device for keeping peo-
pie in mind of the progress of the year 1t
Is an attempt to show what destiny has in
store for us as indicated by the position of
the stars in any particular year. And as,
according to astrological lore, the destinies
of men are ruled by the different aspects of
the planets, so also the human body is sub
ject to the influence of the consultations
through which the sun appears to pass in
his yearly course A French almanac of
1910 gives diagram of the human body
surrounded by all the signs of the zodiac,
and indicates the various organs and mem
bers over which these signs have power,
and this for guide pour les saignees, or to
show at what periods blood may be let with
safety. But the same almanac also gives
directions sensible enough for the avoid
ance of the plague, which would not be
found fault with by modern fashionable
physician:
Who would keep his body in health
And resist the infection OF the plague,
Let him seek joy and sadness fly,
Avoid places where infections abound,
And cherish joyous company.
A few examples exist of almanacs of this
character before the invention of printing,
although none, it is believed, earlier than
the Twelfth century. But some of the
earliest specimens of printing are black
printed German sheet Hlmanacs, which are
chiefly concerned about blood letting All
the Year Round.

The proprietor of large wholesale dry

hares. Upon the arrival of the steamship
In port the animals were transferred to the
cellar of the dry goods store preparatory to
shipping them to the Long Island Hunting
club.
In some manner or other three of the
creatures escaped and ranged at will

goods The proprietor was disguised

hares to dispose of. The Englishman, hav-
