One OF the quaintcst and pvettiest

how this tiny counterfeit of woman

know is that when she came to America
we had no direct trade with any dis

here was subject of King George,
and no one had ever heard of the Star
Spsngled Banner.
This little doll, therefore, has looked
upon the most remarkable events of

was inaugurated she had already passed

was much older than Gen. Washington
when he became the president of the
United Colonies, and Gen. Lafayette
must have seemed a mere boy to her.
The events of the war of 1912 found her
approaching her hundredth year, and
each succeeding decade has added ire

During all this time the doll was

from the sad fate of so many of her

LIONS IN THE CELLAR.
Strange Discovery of II Farmer In tho
California Hills.

In the hills near Sunol, Alameda County,
Cal, Antonio Nuncz, II farmer, moved two
weeks ago from his old house into another
that had no. yet been occupied. For sew
eral days after that the family heard
strange sounds coming apparently from tho
cellar.
Antonio called in a few friends to his as
sistancc. and, armed with shotguns, they
made their way into the cellar. They had
hardly reached the side of the stone wall
when from beneath the stairway bounded n
splendid California loness. Before n shot
could be fired the animal escaped through
tho open door,
A second later the lion. big ugly beast,
made II jump for the stairway This time
Antonio was ready and killed the animal ut
the first Are. While his friends stood guard
at the doorway Antonio made Il search un.
derncath the stairway aud found four cubs.
They were as comfortable rs kittens, having
an overcoat and u quilt for n bed. The
lioness did not return.

Corbett took to the road this morn
ing for the first time since last Friday
and put in two and one-half hours at
it. He started out soon after break
fast in the company of Jeffries, going
in the direction of Empire. He covered
the distance at the rate of four miles

CARSON, New, March 9.-FrOm this
time until the day of the fight Jim Cor
bett will lessen the work he has been
going through in preparation for the
contest. When he does work it will be
as heavy as anything he has gone
through up to the present time, but lie
will take it easy on one and harder on
the following day. He will alternate
the work in this manner until he has
finished his training. This course has
been decided upon by his trainer,
Charley White, who is a bit fearful
that keeping at the work and at one
kind Of work too steadily will tend to
make Corbett tire of work, or rather
tire of the constant repetition OF the
same work every day.
THE way to train a mar for a fight
said White, lis to keep him amused if
possible and keep him liking the work.
Now, Corbett is so fond Of work, if
we did not hold him back at times he
would do too much. Jim is one of
those fellows who always go into
things heart and soul, and he puts more
nervous energy into his training than
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-03-10

however, his wind seemed to be in
the best possible condition and he was
not distressed in any manner, although
breathing hard.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons took a journey
around the ranch this morning to see
where her husband has been doing his
work, and expressed herself as being
greatly pleased with all she saw. She
said her husband was certain to win
the fight. Il never saw him look so
WELL" she said, land 1 know he will
win the fight surely. He looks better
to me thai when he fought Maher the
last time, and 1 think he could have
won over Corbett at that time. | know
he will win, n l am never mistaken
in such things"
In the afternoon FftzsimmOns did a
little work in the yard and then punch
ed the bag for half an hour. He did
not spend much time at work, however.
and soon returned to the house where
he put in the balance of the day play
ing with his small boy.
Dan Stuart was or the street a
| couple of hours this morning and de-
cIares himself improving, although he
is still very pale.
The arena is practically finished and
today men were going Through it with
pots of black paint, marking out the
seats, by which is mean one man will
be expected to settle himself on eigh-
teen nches of undressed lumber. The
flooring is all in and nothing remain
to be put in place with the exception
of the press seats. It is believed the
entire structure will be finished by the
end of this week.
The feeling here in favor Of Corbett
is growing stronger. He has been ia
vorite at all times, but as the number
of sporting men here increases his
stock goes up accordingly. One rea-
son for this is hat the champion
ain in a systematic manner which
all visitors can comprehend. Fitz, on
the other hand, trains as his somewhat
erratic fancy seems to dictate, and,
although it cannot be denied, his meth
ods result in putting him into the best
possible condition, the majority of the
people who go to see him do not APP
prove his methods, because there seems
to be little Of the practical systematic
routine, which is evident in COrbett's
work. Fitz is a law unto himself in
training, as we'll as in methods of fight
ing, and many men are betting against
him because they do not think that
UGH ways as his can put a man in as
good condition as is necessary for sue
cess in the ring.
Al Smith, the stakeholder, will be
