Rose.
The nuns at the convent, my dearl
Who sought into models 10 build us.
Tne.r meaning TO make the more clear,
Win proverbs o%racular filed us.
vi course, I've forgotten the most,
FOR i do not 10 memory rum:
But the one | recall. Of a host,
sad that two heads are better than one.
W heads are better than one.
And were since the world was begun.
Though the maxim you scout,
Yet there .sn't a doubt,
Two heads are better than one.
DC ChampiRnOi.
Ive no disposition, my dear!
To question your learning capac.ous:
But II by that proverb you steer,
you'll find u most sadly fallacious.
For uppos into trouble you're led,
And the futures decidedly blue
III your trouble must come TO a head,
Isn't one head much better than two?
One head IL better than two
The subject it's vain 20 pursue.
So KISS me, my dear!
And admit I've made clear
One head Is better than two.
Rose.
Although II may avor, my dear!
OF rudeness, | must contradict YOU.
Your log.c's absurd!ty sheer!
I'll by o own language convict you!
You mentioned a kiss-or ] err
Now. q truthful reply do not shunl
In the matter OF Kisses, dear SIR!
Are not two heads much better than
Two heads are better han one!
When everything said Is and done.
You may argue all n.ght,
But I'm satisfied quite,
Two heads are better than one.

ON THE ANGLE Of THE law.

-
-Why is a blow upon the angle of a
mans jaw-the Knockout blow OF
pugilists-so effective. and what is the
immediate result of such a blow?'
Ia view of the recent death of Con
Riordan after a boxing bout with Cham
pion Fitzsimmons. this question was
put by a Baltimore sun reporter 10 DR..
b. Merrill Hopkinson, himself an ath-
lete and the president of the Baltimore
Athletic Club. DIR. Hopkinsou has
given stady TO anatomy and physiology
in their relation TO athletic exercises.
He said:
1T is somewhat difficult, without n
tering into technicalities, to describe
properly the Knockout blow. The
skull rests upon the atlas the first of
articulation or joint is simply by means
of a contact of the condyles or proturb-
ances at the base of the skull with two
facets on the atlas. The arrangement
is most favorable for movements of the
head, but is susceptible to dislocation.
Immediately at the base of the skull is
the foramen magnum-a great hole
which forms he passageway between
the skull cavity and the spinal canal.
Through this pass the spinal portion Of
the central nervous system and verte-
bral arteries.
"A blow delivered upon the angle of
the jaw is. Of course, given directly ut
right angles to the passageway between
the body and brain, through which
passage run the wonderfully delicate
structures. Now, owing to the slender
joint of the skull with the spinal coli
umn, resistance must necessarily be
very weak, and a blow. even though a
light one, is capable of producing SO
great a shock that a man can readily be
rendered unconscious by its effect. An
experiment is very simple. Let any
one strike himself a quick blow just mt
the angle of the jaw, aud he will find
that he is dazed just in proportion to
the amount of the force applied. That
it is possible to kill a man by such a
blow has been demonstrated more than
once, and more is the pity that such a
thing can be recorded in the recital of
the so-callcd amusements.
II do not believe that a man in good
physical training, with healthy heart
and arteries and we'll nourished nervous
system, could be destroyed by such .
blow from another maj who is his ply
steal equal, but 1t would not take a
sledge-hammer blow delivered upon the
angle Of the jaw to produce a thrombus
or blood clot at the base of the brain Of
a man whose heart, arteries and nerv-
Gus system had been weakened by alco-
holic or other excuses. Temporary
knock-outs occur daily and fatal cases
are of rare Occurrences; indeed, the pro-
portion Of deaths as compared with
horse racing or football is ridiculously
small. Any man entering the pugilistio
ring is liable to receive q blow which
will put him to sleep and the duration
Of unconsciousness is altogether pro-
portioned to the science of the delivered
blow, the position OF the man struck
pad the amount of force used"

The News in Washington.

Washington. Oct. 24.--Ex-Speaker
Crisp's death was not unexpected In
political circles. 1t was known for a
year or SO that he had not long to live.
and never would again be an active fig
ure in public affairs. He suffered from
asthma and later from heart rouble.
Had he lived he would nave been the
next United States senator from Geor-
gia-
Crisp's first prominence In national
affairs came when he led his party in
several warm election contests. The
prestige he then acqwired led to his
election to the speakership after n of
the most memorable in the
history of the house.
His chief opponent was Roger Mills
OF Texas, whom he defeated after a
struggle so prolonged that the house,
contrary to custom. assembled on the
opening day with the question of its
next speaker still in doubt.
AS a speaker Mr.. Crisp was fair. but
firm. His rulings have been upheld.
and, though sometimes they have been
the subject of considerable criticism
from political opponents, he has al
ways commanded their respect and on
fidence. He was a pronounced advo-
cate OF the free coinage of silver. and
on one occasion his casting his vote as
speaker saved the defeat Of a free coin
age bill.
On the other hand. IL was largely
due to his firmness in ruling that
passed the Sherman law through the
house. his ruling defeating the formid-
able flibustering movement led by Mr..
Bland OF Missouri and others. Mr..
Crisp was al Engllshman by birth and
in early life was identified with the
stage.
Bryan Hears the News.
Peoria, ILL.,, Oct. 24.-William Jennings
Bryan was shown the dispatch an
nouncing the death of Charles F. Crisp
when he boarded the train at Spring
field yesterday afternoon by a CORE
spondent of the press and he expressed
himself greatly surprised and deeply
grieved at the death OF Mr.. Crisp. He
said:
while I have known that Mr.. Crisp
was in feeble health. l had not thought
Of his life being In danger. His death
will be a great loss to the democrats Of
the nation because he was one Of the
strongest men in public life. He was so
kind to me during my four years in the
house that / feel that his death is a
personal loss TO me-"
Mr.. Bryan Immediately sent a dis.
