The Life of a Slave,

1T is the life of a slave" he continued.
Think of it! 1 got up at 8 o'clock this
morning and took a row for an hour on the
lake before breakfast. After was through
with NY meal, 1 walked mile to Bradys
cottage and went into training. You saw
me there. l punched the bag for half an
hour, and then rolled the weights of that
wrist machine up and down for fifteen min
utes to strengthen my wrists. l worked
like horse at the pulley weights, and then
scuffled for another hour with McVey l
don't like to wrestle, and l hate to be pull
ed and hauled and strained day after day
for the mere purpose of putting my mus
cles into shape. That han1ball which did
next was not hard work. but 1t was in a
sweat-box, and half gallon of perspira-
ton must have run out of me while l was
jumping about trying to oil my joints.
And then my fight with Steve O'Donnell
today. l call it a fight, for it was one
O'Donnell and are rot going through mere
sparring matches in our training. We fight
every day, and fight to win. O'Donnell Is
getting to be formidable antagonist He
has learned all my tricks. and l have more
trouble with him every bout. He keeps me
bright, and 1 will be in perfect condition by
the time the fight comes off. In addition
to the work you saw. l have to take long
walks, and l work steadily up to O'Clock
every day. and do not dare to stop for
lunch. 1t is no picnic, can tell you.'
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1895-10-12

Speaking of lunch, Mr.. Corbett, what do
you eat at such tmes?'
"Oh, almost anything" replied Corbett:
but l don't dare to eat more than two
meals day. I have to exercise and fight
on an empty stomach, and will go into
my fight with Fitzsmmoas, in all probabili-
ty, feeling very hungry. If a man has any
food in his stomach and he gets blow be-
low the belt it knocks him out. I used to
take three meals a day, but during training
conffne myself to two. 1 have my break
fast about $50 and my dinner at $780,
What did you eat today?" / asked.
well, let's see!" replied Corbett. 81 had
chop, some oatmeal, toast and ripe fruit,
with cup of tea, for my breakfast My
lamb mashed potatoes and other yege-
tables, and little stewed fruit for dessert.
had to pass by the pastry and sweets 1
have to be careful to eat things which
do agree with me. When am in training,
have an entirely different appetite than
that which l have at ordinary times l
have all sorts of odd tastes and my system
seems to demand certain foods. If 1 desire
thing 1 get it, for l know that nothing
else will satisfy me. What 1 eat one day
may be entirely differ ent from what I want
the next. I don't know what 1t is. but
SUPPOSE it's the training"
''HoW about drinking?'
Il never drink very much at any time,
you know. But it is with my drink as
with my food. 1 take what 1 crave, and l
sometimes drink considerable. l sweat pro-
fusely. and the water goes through my
pores like a sieve. 1 use only one kind of
water from beginning to end. 1 am now
using an imported German mineral water
and have enough in stock to keep me sup
piled until after the fight. 1 do not like ice
water. 1 am afraid of it. Sometimes 1
crave a glass of beer during training, and
at others nothing but bottle of cham
payne will satisfy me. At such times 1
must have it, no matter what 1t COSTS
The Value of Training.
What is the effect of such training upon
your constitution? Is it of permanent
value? Does it last after you stop?"
Eyes, when this fight is over I will be in
perfect condition. Every muscle will be
healthy Every pore clean. My stomach
and other machinery will be in the smooth
est working order. If l had no exercise
whatever it would. I think, be five years
before 1 materially failed OF course l
can't tell exactly how long it would last.
I have never been out of training for more
than a year before this"
How about its value for building up
weak bodies, Mr. Corbett? Take a look at

SAY so

A kindly letter expressing apprecia-
ton OF u late editorial In this paper
ON free text books, from a friend in
the state superintendent's Office, has
been received and does us good. And
this leads us to say In this connection,
don't be afraid when you meet the
editor Of this or any other paper to ex-
press yourself about anything he has
written; providing of course he has
said anything worth talking about.
II you think what he says IL right,
say that you agree with him; II you
don't like his ideas, or don't believe
in his logic, tell him so. Not In the
one case for flattery, Dor 10 the other
case for a quarrel. You can trust the
average editor for having sense
enough to avoid either; but it will do
the editor good and help him In his
work to know that bis weekly missiles
have not fallen short or wide Of his
mark, which is always to interest his
readers
As rule. the hardest thing in edi.
torial whiting is to select subjects
which will interest readers. A very

rri.coun,y In,,i,u,e.

The meeting of the trl-county
teachers association at st. Thomas,
last Friday and Saturday was the
most successful in its history. The
meeting was well attended by the
teachers of the three counties and
eminent educators from a distance
were present, including State Super
intendent Emma F. Bates. Supt. J.
NJ. Devine, Supt. Halland of Trail,
Supt. McCrullus of Polk, Minn., and
Prof. Jos. Kennedy of the university
of North Dakota. Secretary Coch.
rane also dropped the cares of state
that he might visit his old friends
and show that he had not forgotten
them. The papers presented were
full of thought, practical to the point.
The discussions that followed were
animated, demonstrating that the
educators Of the state are alive to
their duties and are determined that
North Dakota shall be in the front
ranks of the great educational army.
Much interest was manifested in
the dec:amatory contest. Long before
time to commence the program, the
hall was crowded. The three coun-
ties were fully represented and the
declarations were unusually good.
First on program were the juniors
and SO evenly balanced we're they and
so well did they acquit themselves
that it seemed difficult to say which
were best. Katie Mckenzie Of Graf
ton, took first place, Della Kermott,
st. Thomas, second; Maud McGillis,
Neche, third. After some music, the
seniors came on and although the
audience had been requested to re-
pain from applause a demonstration,
when w. Cowles of Larimore. came on
and showed "How Ruby Played" the
house could not be restrained, every
one was convulsed with laughter,
THE Minuet" by Katie VanCamp,
was masterpieces Of art and showed
great skill, cultivation and training.
Mr.. Cowley was awarded first place,
Miss VanCamp second.
Time and space forbids the telling
of the other contestants and how
we'll they did sufice it to say, they all
praisv- for the. effort
they made and the able manner in
which they presented their selections.
After contest was over q reception
was held. Prof. Jullot and the Quig-
ley Bros. furnished sweet music in
the lower room which the elegant
rooms above were devoted to games
and social converse.
The teachers of the three counties
will long remember their pleasant
visit to st. Thomas. Many thanks
and great credit are due to the mayor,
council and committee for their prac-
ticai forethought and labor in fur
nishing SO fine a hall for the meetings
and the locating of the guests. Also
thanks. thanks, thanks, to the citi-
zens OF st. Thomas for the hospitable
manner in which they opened their
homes and entertained the visitors
and for their hearty cooperation In
making the meeting the success it
was.
1t is needless to say that Prof.
Stockwell presided with grace and
dignity and that the Tri.county Su-
perintendents Taylor, Woods and
Jackson were In their element. prof.
Tewel of Drayton, was elected presl.
dent for the next year and the spring
meeting will be held at Grafton.
