Ne1iie's Apron.
Nellie had an apron
Fine and clean and white.
When allowed to wear it
Great was her delight
But so much she wore 1t
That 1t grew quite thin;
AlasI one day she tore it,
And ragbag took 1t in.
Then one day soon after,
The ragman with his bags
Along the street came calling,
"Old rags! Old rags! Old rags!"
"Yes," said Nellie's mamma,
81 have some rags TO sell"
Then went Nellie's apron
His funny bags to swell.
"Good-by, then" said Nellie.
"My little apron white,
would like to keep you,
But you are worn out quite"
What then thought the apron
Will next be done with me?

Is there no place for meT
Fear not, little apron,
You'll find a place to fill,
Perhaps you'll know about 1t
When you get Through the mill"
Through the mill the apron
Was destined soon to go,
Washed and cut and beaten
And driven to and fro.
Big machines kept grinding
And beating 1t about,
Till you'd think the apron
Might be glad when 1t got out.
After little apron
Thus into pulp was made.
On the web Of wire
1t carefully was laid.
Through the great big rollers,
The little apron passed
Oh! what pretty paper

The paper kept its place.
But who sat down beside 1t
With such a smiling face?
Nellie? Yes. twas Nellie,
And blushing rosy red,

With an advantage of seven inches in
height and twenty-five pounds in weight
it took the Chicago man nineteen rounds
to dispose of Strong, who is only
game second-rater. Armstrong had lost
skill and vital power. He depended on
straight jab and never used his right until
the deciding blow, and had absolutely no
knowledge of countering.
Had Strong been tall enough TO reach
the Chicagoan's jaw the result might have
been different. As it was the New York
man fought game fight against big odds

ALL FOR The MONUMENT
The Caledonians Seem to Be
All of Oae Mind on
the Subject.
Photographs Of Famous Statuary
in All Parts of the World
Being Collected.

The monument to Robert Burns pro.
posed by the Caledonian Club is not
likely to want for enthusia astic champions.
The meeting at which the project will be
formally decided upon or rejected by the
Caledonians will not take place until the
first week IN January. but in the mean
time nu mber OF active mem bers OF the
club are busily at work in preliminary
matters, confident that the club will be
unit III favor of the undertaking.
Chief Ranger McNeill is sen ding to all
parts of the country where there are
monuments to Burns in an effort to secure
a collection of them with statements OF
cost to present at the meeting. One of
the handsomest Burns monuments in
this country is said to be at Albany, N. Y,
and to have cost about $4,000
Mr.. McNeilI said yesterday: "As to the
money, do not believe there will be any
great difficulty in raising it. 1t should be
understood that all the money need not
be raised and in hand, or even pledged,
be fore starting with this work. If we
raise 5000 it is good for a start, and
guarantee for the balance. The revenue
from the annual gathering and games
might start the fund, and other entertain
ments could be given from time to time.
There is plenty of talent that could be en-
listed at any time in such cause. Still /
do not want to say too much or to assume
too much responsibility in this matter.
1t is for the club to say what it will do,
and l only get my cue from the sugges-
tions of number of the mem bers with
whom have talked on the subject"
Ex-Chief of the Caledonians Colin NJ.
Boyd said yesterday: Il suggested The
idea OF Burns monument when l
was chief OF the club, some fourteen years
ago. 1t met with strong support at that
time and many offers of contributions
were made. Because of objections to
placing it in the park the project was al
lowed to die at that time. Since then,
however, those objections seem to have
been borne down and number of monu-
ments have been placed there. / see that
our German fellow-citizens are talking
now about putting UP statue to Goethe
and Schiller. / have great faith in Chief
Ranger McNeilPs ability to carry the plan
through, but | have no suggestions to
make at this time as to details except to
say that the undertaking is one tina
should be approached with great care.
The first steps are those which will tell
most for success or failure.
s'fThe project must be given into the
charge OF a committee that will command
the confidence of the community. With
the work thus properly begun it will GER
tainly go on to completion in manner
which will be gratifying to every citizen"

matter. In talking of the matter yester-
day he said that all Scottish clans and in

Lewis of this place knocked out Alberto

brought off in the Paso Roples Opera
house before a large audience. It was a
fast fight from start to finish. Honors
were easy until toward the end of the
sixth round, when right swing on the
neck staggered Rubio and the call of time
alone saved him from knock out. Lewis
ended the contest in the seventh with a
left hook on the Jaw.
The fight was refereed by Herman Ep-

tered the ring he was searched for con-

The Discoverer of a Rich
City Ledge Is No
Better Off
In Vain He Seeks for Some
Way to Mine a Pubic
Street.
Guarding the Secret of the Location
and Restlessly Eager to
Exp ore 1t.

The man who, as recently published in
THE CALL, has found rich gold-bearing
vein of quartz in one of the streets of this
City is meeting with the utmost difficulty
in trying 10 profit by his discovery, and
still guards his secret
He knows the ledge is there, and he has
it covered up. The assay from samples is
rich. But when by chance he came across
the ledge there was not enough of ii ex-
posed to make him sure just which par
ticuIar lots on both sides of the street it
might cross.
He would run a big risk in prospecting G
in the street to determine the direction
and extent of the vein without permission
from the Supervisors to dig up the street,
for passers-by and the ever-watchful po-
lice would have their curiosity aroused and
would investigate. He would also be liza
BILE for misdemeanor. Lawyers have told
him that even the Supervisors cannot grant
a permit 20 mine public street. An open
refusal for such permit would reveal the
very secret upon which the discoverer
bases his hopes. He is determined to let
no one know where that mine is until he
can have a share in its wealth.
Early yesterday morning he was at the
CITY Hall cautiously trying to solve the
problem. Everywhere he applied the Off
cials politely asked the name of the street,
and he turned sadly away. He wanted to
learn if the street really belongs to the
City or is only thoroushfare dedicated
at some time to the City to be used as
street.
He wanted to know this because he had
been told that If not decided to the City
the right N the land under the street re-
mains with the original title, and the
owner of the abutting lot would. in such
a case, have the right to work under to
the middle of the street, as long as he did
not harm the usefulness of the thorough
fare itself
Friendly disposed clerks offered to look
up the records if he would say what street,
but be would not, and they would not
permit his private access TO the books.
He consulted two lawyers, but received
little encouragement. They told him that
his knowledge OF the location does not in
itself have a marketable value. He can
give no title.
He is worried but hopeful. When he
returned late yesterday afternoon to his
home in Jersey street, after days fruit
less search and vain inquiry, he was as
determined as ever in guarding the secret
that has occupied his thoughts for several
weeks.
''If, after all, :" he said, 81 can't do any
thing with it, I'll wait while, and then
give the whole thing away. 1t will cause
some excitement in the nelghborhood,
and there will be little satisfaction for
me in seeing that"
And then the discoverer remarked, as
one whose thoughts were still hopelessly
on other matters, "You see, there are a
good many visitors here to-day. They are

The initial performance of "She" filed Mo-
rosco's Grand Opera-house last night proving
that Rider Haggard's most famous story has
not grown tnreadbare with age.
The piece was splendidly staged and the
scenery grand, especially the scene in the pro-
Iogue of the ancient city of Kor, lying in
marshy country, through which a silYery
sire am threads its way.
In the background is a volcano belehing up
clouds OF flame and smoke. In burst OF
thunder the mountain rips open and the city
disappears in the chasm.

is played by Miss Cory Macy, soft-spoken
young lady, but she bundles herself up in
wells and draperies so completely that one
wonders If she is really as youthful and beauu-
full as the novelist has written her to be.
Victory Bateman as Ustane, who is more
cIassi caily earbed than the Queen, plays her
sad role quite feelingly. Howard Kyle as Kali
lfkrates and Frank Hatch as Horace Holly are
good The piece will be played all the week
with a special matinee Christmas day.

At the Orpheum.

Christmas week is being celebrated at the
Orpheum by a grand double ballet, with so
many coryphees that the requirements of the
stage are taxed to accommodate them all.
The ballet scene opens with the entrance of
Kfralfy's dancers, over forty in number, who
are gorgeously arrayed in semi Oriental cos
tunes and in Amazon dress. They commence
with dance, which is very effective, and will
no doubt be more so with few days practice
to make the leaders more sure of their cues

demoiselles Dunbar for the occasion, are the
premieres, and, truth to tell, they are not quite

signs are also used very effectively in this
dance. Nilsson's aerial ballet, which follows,
is very pretty, for care seems to nave been
taken to avoid a pendulum effect. and when
the butterfly designs are thrown on the flying

cludes with a grand finale in which Kfralfy's
ballet and the aerial ballet combine, and, as
