AFTER THE BATTLE.

But yesterday two champions adorned thy
heavy class.
Now one sits proudly there alone, an6
one has gone to grass,
The joint debate that ragged between tht
Kangaroo and Celt
Is DER. and Corbett's pompadour adorns
FitzsimmonS belt.
These literary gentlemen for battle fierce
arose,
For they had quite run out of words. and
so must come to blows.
The world impatient, knows the worst
how Corbett lost the trick
For breathlesSly it stood to wait the tele-
graphs sad tick.
The tickle world that yesterday was low
at Corbett's feet
Now halls FItZsimmons as the man who
owns both sides the street.
But think not, weary sufferers, they ii rest
with victory won;
Full forty columns they'll require to tell
how it was done.
And later on these talents high their
forces will engage
To rake in coin and nobly try to elevate
the stage.
One more idol cast away,
One more scrapper put to sleep,
He who was not common clay
Now is rated small and cheap.
Proud on high his banner waved,
Flaunted east and west and south;
Fighting fierce was what he craved-
All who came to fight by mouth.
Lay the erstwhile warrior low
Mid the tears of wives he vexed,
Mid the sobs of Brother Joe,
Pass him up and murmur, Next!

Mere soy on the yand oddly Beat

You can nearly always bet your
money on u boy. Boys know some
things better than even the angels. In
an important lawsuit at Clay Center
the othGr day 12-year-old boy was on
the stand and testified that he had spent
just ten minutes in getting bucket OF
water for his mother. The question of
time was a vital one, and the opposing
attorneys tried to rattle the boy. Final
ly one of them pulled out his watch and
proposed to test whether or not the boy
knew when ten minutes had elapsed.
The opposing attorneys on the boys
side of the case strenuously objected to
this test, for it is well known that moth
ing is harder than to sit still and
gauge the passing or time. The judge
ordered the test to be made, however.
and after the courtroom clock had been
stopped and every chance removed for
the boy to play a sneak, the trial COM
menced.
The stiffness in the room became OPP
pressive. Every watch was drawn, and
theeyes of the multituder rested upon the

gazed placidly out over the benches, as
though the proceedings had mighty

minutes passed, and still he made nc
sign. Then the attorneys commenced
to worry him.

them.
"Nope," sententiously responded The
boy, as he changed the cross in hi:

Haven't you got that water pumped

was intended to convey the belief tina
ten minutes had more than passed.
"Reckon not" again replied the boy
and his own attorneys began to chuclle
Nine minutes passed, and tick, tick

minute mark. and up to exactly thre
seconds before the limit, when the bo
drawled out: Il think I've got tina

A MAN WHO WON'T WORK AN
WHO HAS LEFT HIS FAMILY TO
STARVE.
A sad case Of degradation and de-
pravity was discovered Saturday when
Captain of Police Chambers arrested
Everett Kendall. who, with his wife and
three small children, occupy rooms on
the third floor of the house No. sos
Market street. Saturday night Kendall
was talking with a woman on Market
street when his wife went over to him
and uDbraided the woman for talking
to her husband. For the chastisement
she gave the woman, she received a
blow IN the mouth from her husband.
He followed her across the street and,
upon entering the doorway of the
house. he knocked her down and
dragged the woman up three flights of
stairs. One Of the woman dodgers in
the house. who saw the assault, ran to
the police station and told Captain
Chambers of the affair. The captain
accompanied the woman to the place
and encountered Kendall on the stairs.
What is the matter here?" asked the
captain of Kendall.
II have lost my hat on these stairs,
said Kendall.
The captain then ascended the stairs
to the third floor but could not find
Mrs. Kendall He then left the place
but at 12 o'clock he was again called tc
the place He found, on his second
visit, that Kendall had cruelty beat his
wife He then arrested him.
Several of the neighbors told the cap
tain that Kendall has not supported his
wife for some time. The woman has
nothing to eat and only for the kind
ness of the neighbors she and hel
children would starve.
Kendall was arraigned in Municipa
Court to-day, but was dismissed OF
payment of costs. Several friends pur
chased groceries for Mrs. Kendall yes
terday, and now she will be properi!

NEWS OF NEW CASTLE
THE NEW MARKET ALL RIGHT.
NEW CASTLE FOLK PLEASED
WITH THE NEW SYSTEM FOR
THE DISTRIBUTION OF PRODUCE.

WITH THE NEW SYSTEM FOR
THE DISTRIBUTION OF PRODUCE.
The curb-stone market is a sue
cess. Many peop,e here pre-
dicted that the attempt to establish a
street market would fizzle out. On the
other hand the advocates only asked
for a trial, and they asserted chat the
market would be a success.
The showing made on Wednesday
was certainly disccuraging. Two stray
teams were backed up to the curb on
Delaware street, and the most they did
was to pay aheir fee to the Clerk Of the
Market Eckles He was not the busiest
man in town that day, and It looked as
though his fees would not pay for the
powder,
The good breezes that pervaded New
Castle hundred early Saturday morning
seemed to inspire The farmers to the
attempt OF selling their products on
the street curb. With loaded wagons
a dozen wended their way here. There
was farm produce CT every description
in 0he collection. The prices obtained
were good and half of the farmers
sold their entire supply. This was
surely q good beginning. The attend
ance in the market by the housewives
was much larger than even the strong
est advocates OF the market had an
ticipated. They did net go as mere
curiosity, but with basket and purse.
The market is a success, and will no
doubt increase from week TO week.
Georger w. Castelow,a "a farmer of St
Georges, was stopped by Officer Har-
rlngton from delivering his produce to
customers. The officer acted under
order, believing that Castlelow was
violating the provisions of the market
ordinance which forbid the selling OF
produce on the streets on market days
Castlelow explained to Mayor Boyc
when taken before him that he was
delivering to customers and was
neither peddling or huckstering. Wif
this explanation the mayor allowed the
st. Georges man to depart.
Mayor Boyd said Saturday that M
did not think that the ordinance in
tended TO forbid any man from sellini
the produce of his own farm, nor dit
he think that Council could make suel
an ordinance.
