VIRTUE OF SILENCE.
Fine Art of Living Together the Most
Difficult to Acquire.

Much unnecessary friction would JG
remember that there is great virtue in
silence. 1t is the hastily spoken word
which brings another and another, and
il we could refrain front he Satirical
or vehement reply, passing by what has
irritated us, the moment OF danger
would presently be gone. With children
it is usually best to avoid an issue
where trities are in dispute, trying the
blessed effect OF diversion. 1t is rarely
worth while for mother 10 set her
battle Il array against baby. she who
is tactful and sensible intrCuuces a new
idea, and presently the little peIsoAage,
all sweet and smiling, torgets the on
stinacy which was ready to lift its de-
fiant head. Said the mother Of seven:
Il was foolishly anxious over my first
child, and there were many difficult
passages for him and for me, but [
nave never repeated the sort of dis
ciplne, which made the nursery a place
OF arbitrary despotism, in the case of
my other children" Friction between
friends is sometimes inevitable. Peo-
pie have had entirely different back
grounds. Bringing-up tells, and even
married friends, which husband and
wife should surely be, may strike on
rocks in daily intercourse because their
their early influences and
their education have been deverse. To
life successfully-and life is
SO short it ought not to be failure
we must reduce friction to a minimum.
Perhaps the fine art of living together
is the most difficult OF all arts to &C
quire, but in it's outcome it brings much
happiness. Of what avail are successes
which turn to bitterness, or Iuxuries
which cannot be enjoyed because there
IS continual pickering and constant
small sQuabblings? A little yielding, a
little sacrifice Of self-will, a little gen
Ieness; they cost only an effort, but
hey will repay richly the one who
makes it.-Harper's Bazaar.

that it was all over" but a minutes
rest demonstrated the fact that it was
not, for the re- headed fighter came to
the mark apparently as fresh as ever.
COrbett tried to finish him in the sixth.
Fitz. was covered with blood but grin
ming. Finally Fitz. slipped and stayed
down seven seconds. FitZ. was hOr
rible looking sight, but was on his feet
when the round closed. His mouth and
nose were bleeding and both he and
COrbett were covered with the crimson.
The seventh was a hot round, COrbett
hitting twice to Fits once on an
average. In the eighth FitZ jolted his
antagonist heavily, the champion stag
gering several steps backwards, but he
came back smiling and raped Bob
| twice in succession with force. Up to
| the end of the tenth round COrbett had
not received a mark of any consequence
but Fitz. was receiving frequent blows on
| his bruised mouth and the blood flowed
| freely out of the queer shaped chin and
| down upon the red-haired eXpanse of
breast. Corbett's face was a study.
| Sometimes he smiled in his Old-time
way but as the battle grew hotter and

seconds. Julian rushed frantica y

his mouth grew more strongly marked
and added to the effect of the vicious
scoWl into which his forehead was
drawn. Fits ugly little eyes grew
uglier with each exchange of blows, but
aside from their wicked glance, his face
showed little of the intense earnestness
which marked his plan of battle.
The fourteenth round was well in
progress when Corbett who had as
sumed the aggressive, had forced Fit2.
into the northwest corner of the ring.
He was jabbing Bob's bloody face,
! when the latter's left arm shot out.
He first caught Corbett over the heart
and he staggered. Then came a jolt
on the jaw that sent him down. 1t
was just a minute past / when the de-
Gliding blow was struck. The blow that
did the business was a left hand blow
over the heart. Fitz. struck with his
right on the jaw, Jim sank to his
knees, clinging to the ropes. His face
| was cOntOrted with pain and he could
not breathe. He tried in vain to rise
but each time sank in agony with his
hands over his heart Slowly the ia
tai seconds were counted and when he
raised his hand at the tenth second a
roar went up from the crowd. Bob
stood, overlooking his fallen rival.
waiting to administer the finishing
blow if Jim got up but it was not nee
essary. Jim's seconds rushed into the
rincy nnH h1c u i'm +0 ~,
bett revived and when he learned that
he had lost the fight he became fran
tic. He broke away from his seconds
and rushed about hunting for Fitzsim.
mons, striking blindly right and left.
1t was a pitiful exhibition of impotent
rage. His seconds tried in vain to
control him, but he struck viciously at
them as well as at Others Finally they
grabbed him by the arms, carried him
by force from the ring. This lasted
at least five minutes. The crowd
broke into the ring. They were thrown
cut by the sheriffs but they came too
fast and the ring was damned. All
this time Fitzsimmons sat quietly in
his corner awaiting the decision of the
referee. When Siler's voice could be
heard above the noise, awarding the
fight to Fitzsimmons, Julian grabbed
his red-headed brother-in-law about the
neck and together they danced up and
down in frantic manner. They were
crazy with joy.
Mrs. FitzsimmOns, in her box, close /
to the ring, laughed and cried alter !
nately and tried in vain to get through |
the crowd to embrace her husband. |
After some minutes Fitzsimmons was !
through the crowd to his
dressing room, his wife following.
The end Of the fight came with start
ling suddenness. Corbett's dressing
room after the battle was a dismal
spot for visitors. Helped to his room
by his brothers, Harry and Joe, the de-
teated champion sank into a chair and
burst into tears.
