HE TICKLED HIS THINK. TANK.

In the twenty-fourth round OF the
glove fight at New orleans last night
Johnny Murphy, who was participa ting
In joint debate with BILLY Plimmer
for bantam championship honors,
stopped sparring to scratch his head.
Was he thinking OF home and mother,
or what? He planted his left hard on
Planners chin" just after giving his
brains the raking and it may be that
his mental process was concerned with
the generalship OF the battle. Many

having been jabbed and punched hard
and heavy for siXty-three minutes would
have been thinking about that time OF
a nice, soft, snow-white cot in handy
hospital.
Whatever the bantam bruiser
thoughts, the fact remains that he
scratched his head. Nobody scratches
his head without an object, and We
write down these few remarks simply
to say to Johnny that we deeply sym,
pathize with him in the situation in
which he was placed, for a young mar

A CRITICAL DAY.

To-day is n most important day IN tne
history Of the Democratic party, ana,
consequently In the political history OF
the country.

party returned to power two years ago

GETTING LIGHT.

1t begins to look as II the Republi-
cans recognize the change that has
taken place in the political outlook
within the past few days and are taking
alarm at the signs seen all around
There Is less disposition now to play an
opera-boufre game with poor Quigg, or
blum game with a reputable and in
all but politics a desirable candidate
like Mr.. Bliss.
The Tribune has heretofore backed
up Boss Plat in the demand for a

weakening was when II manifested n
Willingness to give up all but Mayor.
Its breakdown seems to be complete

Hints for housewives.

It Is a thing worth knowing in these
"grilling days that meat should never
be placed directly on the Ice, as Its
juices will be absorbed. Put 1t on a
dish and set in a cool place.
All traces of mud can easily be re-
moved from black clothes by rubbing
the spots with a raw potato cut in
half.
Soda is an excellent material for clean
ing tlnware. Apply damp with CLOTH
then rub dry.
1t is said that nothing is better than
coal ashes for use in securing steel
knives and forks and tinware. They
should be sifted twice. the second time
through fine wire sieve.
For a burn, take sweet oil and lime
water, equal parts; mix and keep the
burn we'll covered with it.
Lettuce Is said to be sleep producer
as Is also celery.
