pion, and "Pedlar" Palmer, the no less
famous English bantam. and conuueror
or BILLY Plimmer fought a six-round

i'll many days, Palmer scaled 1l6l.
pounds. or Il pound lighter than his op-
ponent. but to the eyes of the onlookers
Dixon looked much the bigger man.
For the first two rounds the bantam
outpointed the feather. Quicker than
flash he nut in his left and ducked
with wonderful celerty the fierce rushes
and heavy swings that have made Dix
on famous. Honors in the second and
third rounds We're fairly even, but the
last two rounds We're in the colored
champions favor Palmer appeared to
be losing and the battering ram at
tacks Of Dixon scored.
The decision was enthusiastically re-
ceived, and the sports cheered both the
lads vociierously.

The title Of this wellknown
song as well as the song itself
emanated from the brain of an
employee of the Buffalo Brewing
Company. That enterprising firm,
believing that man who could
compose so catchy an air must
have a large and well balanced
brain, straightway raised his sala-
ry. This has proven to be good
move on their part as is testified
by the excellent qualities of their
beer, which is dispensed over the
bars of the Cosmopolitan, Pacific
and Royal saloons at the rate of
two glasses for 25c. 1t is always
fresh and cold and life sustaining.
Or you can get one glass of Buff
falo and one of Pabst beer, the
