DENVER, Col, Feb. 12.-Danny Muir
ply and Jack Kehoe, both lightweight
pugilists OF san Francisco, were billed
for finish fight today. They met OH
the prairie about two miles north of
Denver, and about 500 people were
brought to tie scene OF the alleged bat
tie by d special tram. Eight bioodlesS
rounds were gone through, and then the
principals refused to fight further. 1t
was clearly Il fake, and the crowd, be-
coming angry, demanded their money
back or else a finish fight. The mana
ger refused to refund anything, and
threats of violence were made. The
principals ana their seconds hurriedly
left the grounds, and going distance
north took a ciy-bound train and
escaped.

Women In the Government Service.


At present women ara gradually
disappearing from the departments,
and within a few years there will be
comparatively few OF them in the
employment of the government at
Washington. notwithsts nding the
fact that twice as many women as
men apply for places. This result
will be brought about inevitably by
causes which are now in operation
All persons entering the classified
service must come through the com
petitive examinations hell under the
civil service law. When there is a
vacancy the civil service commission
ers send in three names. from which
one is selected by the appointing Of
fetal. In five cases out of six, sup
posing that the three names include
both sexes, a man will be chosen in
preference to woman.
This seems very unjust, but the
reason for it is evident enough. A
chief of bureau prefers men as sub
ordinates because he feCis no re-
straint in their presence. He can
smoke and swear occasionally if he
likes, or ask them to do odd jobs
which he would not like to demand
of women clerks, Thus it happens
that the great majority of the women
now in Office here Were appointed be
fore the days of the civil service law.

Northern China Has Many Fairs.

Northern China is the country of
fairs. In any given district there is
a constant succession of large gath,
erings at which il is not uncommon
for rs many Gs 10000 persons TO be
congregated The fairs are some
times called the poor mans market
for the display of secondhand cloth
ing which the owners wish to dis
pose of. At Techou and at another
point on the Grand canal there are
annual fairs held from the beginning
OF the twelfth month b the fifteenth
day of the same month. at which
there Is n great display of foreign
goods, especially woolens, sold at
cheaper rates than at other times.
This is called the fair of the grain
heet, and is one of the products of
the vicious system of grain taxes.
About 400 vessels are annually em.
ployed for transporting the Shan
tung grain tax 10 Tungchow, near
Peking, and upon their return these
vessels bring large quantities Of
goods from Nentsin, which are sold
at the fairs While some of the fairs
are held at times rigidly fixed and
never varied, most Of them are
wholly uncertain as to time. North

read or write but Mike went to the
district school and took kindly 70
education which his father bllndi,
worshiped from afar.
He got schooling in the winie
time. and in summer carried bis afitli
metic book in lis overalls when h'
followed the plough He teased M
father to let him away from the farm
long enough to go to the high school
and there he was fitted for college.
He "worked his way through by

Then he graduated at The top of his
class without a penny but with an
ambition to be g lawyer. BY kindly
permission Of lawyer III the village
he was then very well read up in
the law. He graduated and went
west. How he got there ! can't imag

did not see him again until yes
terday, and then he came in on me
blooming. He was elaborately dressed
and wore bis silk hat far on one side
of his head. Mike had prospered.
He had gone 10 law school, was ad

In few years Mike will be mil

not forgotten the old folks and the
other eleven children up in Vermont.
He is taking the best care of them.
The family no longer live in a log
