Danny Lynch. Sharkey's manager
denied all acknowledge OF a con-
spiracy; said that neither he nor Shar-
key was 4 member OF the National

had no pecun!ary interest in the check
for Slc,ooo. On cross-examina;icn by
FitzsimmoEs' counse, Lynch was asked
If he had ever been prohibited from
racing at the local tracks. and why.
An objection from Sharkey's attorney
saved the witness the possible enlbar-
rassment of reply.
Thomas Sharkey's testimony was
simply a denial of the stories told By
his trainers. Billy Smith and George
Allen. He never heard of a conspiracy
before the fight, had no talk with carp,
ard bet no money on the fight. He
declared that Fitzsimmons struck him
foul blow in the groin. When asked
why he screamed as IL in pain when
he was with DIR. Lee in the dressing

No, and you are not likely to. tell you the

Little men are invariably good story

quick to see the humorous side of any ques-
ton, and they relish'a joke, even if it is at
their own expense. They make the tirmest
friends, and adhere TO those whom they like
through thick and thin. They are seldom
quarrelsome, and never conceited. They are
often sensitive, but quick-wltted people
generally are. Altogether they are the best
folks in the world to get along pleasantly

INGROWING NAILS.
A Simple Treatment for This Excruciat-
ingly Painful Affection.

A Simple Treatment for This Excruciat-
ingly Painful Affection.
A very common and troublesome affection
is that which is popularity termed "the in.
growth of the nails and which most usual
ly occurs by the side of the great toe, says
the Boston Journal Of Health. There is real
ly no alienation in the nail, as its name
would imply; the surrounding soft parts
are first swelled and iufamed by constant
pressure against the edge Of the nail from
the use of tight shoes. If this state is per-
mitted to continue, an ulcer is formed in
which the edge Of the nail is imbedded.
Pain is. the consequence, sufficiently severe
in some instances to prevent walking.
Treatment for this condition often demands
the skill of a physician. The sufferer
might attempt a cure by the simpler
methods, and, if they fail, professional as,
sistance should be sought. The first object
is to remove the cause, then to lessen the
irritation and reduce the swelling. After
soaking in hot water the nail should be
thinned by scraping, and if very painful, a
tiaxseed poultice will bring relief. After
the irritation has sufficiently subsidized, soft
cotton should be pressed between the flesh
and the nail, and after that is done it
should be saturated with the tinsture of
iodine, and the application repeated several
days, after which the tenderness will dis,
appear. 1t may be necessary to lift the end
of the nail, and this can be done by press
ing cotton between it and the toe. This
treatment is usually effective, and is at.
tended with as little pain as any which car
be suggested.
