4 Well-KnOWn Athlete.

III. NJ. Jewett, Detroit. is the name
and address registered at one of the local
hotels yesterday, but Harry M. Jewett,
one of the best known athletes in the
country, is the name he is known in the
world of athletes by. Mr.. Jewett is in
the city in the interest of Pennsylvania
coal firm and expects to leaye tomorrow
for points further down the line, Harry
Jewett at one time held the worlds rec
ord for the 100-yard dash and at present
is considered the fastest man on a short
run in the State and one OF the fastest in
the United States. He is an all-round
athlete and has records in many track
events. As boxer he is well known to
the sporting fraternity and only three
weeks ago had bout with Champion
Corbett, when that individual was in De-
troit. He says Corbett is an example OF
wonderful physical development. At
the time Mr.. Jewett boxed with him eigh-
teen other local men had been winded by
the champion and he was still fresh.
M. Jewett himself is a sample OF what
athletic training will do and has pow
erful physique. He is still well up in his
training and keeps in good conditio IN all
the time.

Some one, associating colors with

the blare of a trumpet, and the idea IS

Who overStep the rules
And by their doing, show that they
Are various kinds of fools.

Who dances, kicks and sings;
The man that on the frail traDeze
So perilously swings:
The braZen one who stands before
A multitude and twists
A Shiny snake about her neck,
The tough with heavy fists,
Who meets another in the rng,
And pounds him till he dies,
The man that on parachute
Drops from the starry skies
These and hundred others We
Look at in speechless awe.
Ard then declare them all to be
The biggest fools we ever saw.
But, after all is said and done,
Is the fool that thrills us so
More foolish than the gaping one
Who pays to see the show?
