THE PUGILIsTS

Fitzsimmons has consented to meet
John L. Sullivan in an exhibition of
four to six rounds, in New York, week
from today. Fitz says that he will not
attempt to hit the old time champion, as
he is afraid that it would result In man
slaughter, but Sullivan does not like to
be treated that way. When he saw the
published report he said:
so he is going to be gentle and care
full with me, eh! Talks about man
slaughter and afraid to hit me hard

Tough Mr.. Sharkey, the foulest pu-
gilist of modern times, is not overbur-
dened with modesty, and since the Ma
her contest has had to wear hat sew
eral sizes larger than when he was in
San Francisco. Here is the able gen.
tleman's opinion of himself, as given by
himself:
II am now the champion of the world
and will defend the title against all
corners. I have never been whipped
and 1 am the only man before the public
that can say as much. 1 have fought all
the stars of the ring, and not one of
them has got decision over me. The
press and the public have given me the
worst of it, and if / waited for the credit
that is due me would never have title
of any kind. / am easily the champion
of Ireland-although Peter Maher
claims to be-and 1 can whip any man
in the world. Yes, sir, you can say that

world and am open for challenges from
Fitzsimmons, Corbett and the rest Of
them"
The self-styled champion sailed for
Ireland last week on a visit to his par

heard from on the other side of the

A Missoula, Mont, dispatch Of June
18th was as follows: At midnight the
great stable owned by Higgins Brothers,
two miles west of Missoula, wac discov-
cred in flames. Within an hour the
building was burned to the ground. Five
race horses and practice boy, Frank
Ryan, aged 16, who comes from San
Francisco. perished in the fire. The
burned building formed square con-
tanning a one-sixteenth-n mile practice
track. When the fire broke out there
were seven race horses in the building.
After covering their heads, two were
rescued. Brino Tricks, Fire Stone, Fly,
Spider and one unknown were burned.
After the two horses were saved Ryan
entered the stables on the north side and
was overcome by smoke. The stablemen
could do nothing to save him. When
the flames were f1ercest the spectacle
was horrifying, as through the open
doors the poor horses could be seen
dropping in the fire. The fire was of tn

Here Is a good story of tramp and
horse. A tramp appeared at the house
of ]. H. Barton, three miles south of
Columbia, Mo-, the other day, and asked
for cold victuals in Greek. He stated
that he was graduate of Princeton.
Mr.. Barton, himself Greek scholar,
was just about to start for Columbia,
and his horse was hitched in front of
the house. Jestingly he offered to give
the tramp the horse If he could recite the
Greek alphabet without a mistake. The
tramp looked at the horse and then at
Mr.. Barton, and then inquired If the bet
included the saddle and bride. Mr..
Barton said that it did, and went into
the house to get Greek book. Return
ing, he found the tramp had mounted
the horse. As Mr.. Barton stepped from
the porch the tramp ratified off the al
phabet without a mistake, and. turning
the horses head, disappeared in cloud
of dust. The animal on which the Prince
ton pilgrim rode away was one of the
best saddle horses in Boone county,
noted for its blooded stock.

CARING AND GETTING.

cit IS an occult truism,'' says a re-
cent writer, "that SO soon as you cease
to care for thing you get it," 1t is
a strong commentary on our own
short sighted policy in dealing with
| our lives that we often blindly and
! instinctively recognize these hidden
| laws governing human events, and
yet so seldom rise to enough intell:
gent co comprehension OF them TO force
| them to help US IL what we wish to
| do, instead of hindering our advance
And then we wonder that we never
environment, and that we are contin
ually meeting with opposing forces,
which battle us with their insidious
action.
1t would be as sensible in physical
life for US to persist in acting in OPP
position to the laws of gravitation.
When we worry and fret our hearts
out with yearning for what we want,
and marvel that we do not get it, we
are as unreasonable as if We threw a
stone into the air aud sexpected it to
stay there. In each case we are act
ing against law. Because we under
stand one law better than the other
makes no difference in the force of
the law
We often show that we blindly re-
cognize these laws by the fact that
we use them in the government OF
our children, although We do rot have
intelligence or reason enough to apply
them to our own case. For instance,
in regard to the law stated above, a
mother will often say to her child,
''When you stop fretting or teasing
for that [toy OF treat you shall have
it,
Now why d 0 we say that? Is it not
because we instinctively know tina t
fretful disturbed mind is in no condi-
ton to accept or make the best use OF
any good or pleasure?
We cannot rise to that state where
we may justly claim as ours the good
We feel sure we ought 20 have until
weShave passed out Of the disturbed,
anxious, fretful, yearning conditions
which cloud our true comprehension
of1the coveted good, or perhaps pre-
vent our determined work TO get it.
In the one case we may find out that,
after all, we do not care for the covet
ed treasure enough to work for it.
Or we may come to the conclusion
that the good is worth working for,
and that our plan must be to make a
determined effort to get it.
"And so wonderful and sure is thi
law, in either case we 'sget' what we
have ceased to ''long for. '-Rdrper' s

The dainty slipper has been trans

And this is what two pretty custo ms

been vulgarized, and, therefore, the
sooner they pass into disuse the bet
ter. The sentiment of the customs
has beer lost Rice and shoes are no
longer omens of good luck. The mod

them into missiles with which TO an

Very liberal rewards are given to
the natives of India for the Staying of
wild animals and venomous snak es.
But in a recent report of the Govern
ment of the Central Provinces it APP
pears that the number Of wild ami
mails for the destruction Of which re-
wards were paid increased from 1474
to 1866, while the number of snakes
killed fell from 6S45 to 1887. OF the
cattle killed, tigers were responsible
for 704, and panthers for 694. The
number of tigers killed during the
year was 1913, as compared with 225 in
the previous year. This increase in
tiger killing is said to be due mainly
to the greater activity on the part of
European and American sportsmen,
and, perhaps, also to their improved
craftsmanship.

Experiments made in the laborato-
ries Of Sibley College show that the
usual figures for dense smoke per ton
of fuel employed ranged from..10 to II
pounds Of SCOT; of the latter. about
one half was carbon, the remainder
principally unconsumed hydrocar-
bons, 10 to Is per cent Of ash, and, if
collected outside the furnace, perhaps
per cent OF moisture. It was found
that no smoke was ever produced in
an atmosphere of oxygen. With re-
stricted air supply the maximum just
stated was obtainable; but low tenn
perature combustion and restricted
oxygen supply appeared to be the two
main conditions favoring smoke pro-
duction. Again, the composition of
SCOT was found often to be substan-
TALLY that CT the coal from which it
was produced. A reduction of the
proportion Of smoke made effects a
reduction correspondingly, and, per-
haps, proportionately, in the percent
age of carbon contained IN the SCOT.

In AL the recorded history Of our
race there is nothing to compare with
the unfaiiing persistence with which
the quest Of the North Pole has been
carried on. 1t is not that men have
failed TO show perseverance in other
enterprises of a military, scientific or
romantic character, or that they have
suffered less or run less risk TO life or
limb; but the fact that renders the
search for the North Pole altogether
unique and Incompatible is the com
parative smallness of the results which
are expected to crown a successful
attempt
1t is not likely that even the most
practical among the many explorers
who have set out for the North Pole
has expected to contribute to the
worlds store Of scientific knowledge
any facts that would add greatly to
it's sum; and tits likely that the major
ity Of the explorers who have gone
north since the time when the i'm
practicability Of northwest passage
was proved have consciously or un-
consciously been moved by the pure
spirit Of daring and discovery, and
that spirit of emulation which, prop
erly directed, is one of the most pow
erful agencies of human progress.
