La Boxe Francaise

La boxe Francaise claims, both as a GYM
nasium exercise and as a means of self
defense. to be a decided Improvement on
the English method
1t originated In the old savate, diver
sion much In favor with 'souteneurs' early
in the '0Ss. These savetiers knew, how
ever, no more than the lower kick and
doubling up of the leg. and made very lit
tie use Of either the fists or the high kicks
now aimed at head, chest and sides, A
professor of the savate, by name Michel
Pisseux. numbered among his pupils the
Duke of Orleans and Lord Seymour, a no.
bleman well known in Paris In the '4Os
and. indeed, many fashionable young men
Of the day purposely learned the savate
that they might better meet the attacks of
the roughs who freQuented in force the
public balls and resented in q practical
manner any advances to the ladies Of their
own set.
Now the originator Of the modern boxe
Francaise was unquestionably Charles
Lecour, who, having thoroughly mastered
the savate, perceived that it was but an in
complete art. He devoted the whole Of his
mind to its perfection, and his attention.
was soon drawn to the great advantages
Of boxing as taught in England. He saw
that, whereas the hands were in the French
method mainly weapons of defense. the
leg and foot n,onopolizing the attack. the
Englishman, on the contrary, used the
arms and fists for the latter purpose, re-
garding the legs as springs, which helped
him to close with or get away from his op-
ponent, as circumstances might require.
Both systems appeared to Lecour to want
completion, and his next move was to leave
Paris for London and place himself under
Swift and Adams. Having acquired the
tricks Of those then famous professors. he
returned to Paris to put into practice his
theories Of the combined methods+-Lon-

ugly old ram.
The city boy and the ram saw each other

and was lifted into the rack without effort
at climbing.

the ram stationed himself in front of him.

she missed him and went to the barn to
look for him. AS she entered she saw the
little boy perched on the rack
why, julius she said, what under
heaven an airth-"
Look out!' shrieked the boy.
"Ouch!" shrieked aunty, and in a mo-

child and the old ram was stamping and
shaking his head in an ecstacy of wicked
delight.
Aunt Halstead expostulated with the
ram. She coaxed and she ordered him to
go away in vain. Then she and the boy
united in calls for help.
When the men folks of the farm got home
and went to the barn to do their chores

DIVISION OF sPo1Is
Not Without Honor Except in His Own

SAN BERNARDINO, March 1o.-It will
be remembered by many that one Of the
fellows with the push at Sacramento
at the last legislature was Javez Hooking
Of San Bernardino, who left his job here,
herding hobos. to occupy sinecure at the
state capital. How he worked the famous
Duckworth and secured $l72 for two hours
work and then caught on "till the last dog
was hung" to use homely but expressive
phrase, and how he was voted before the
close Of the session an extra compensation
on his back salary. are all matters of
history. Another chapter is now to be
recorded; how his wife concluded she
could not live with him any longer. since
he had fallen from a hobo guard to an at
tache Of the legislature; how they separa-
ted and divided the community property,
after living together for twenty years.
They decided the homestead to a mutual
friend, Sherif F. l.. Holcomb, and he
decided half, with the house, to Javez, and
the other half to the wife, Caroline. In
addition. the wife received 800 In consid-
GRAFTON of signing document releasing
Javez from all responsibility for her sup

NEW YORK, March 10.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, denounces in Wig
orous terms the decision In the Lattimer
trial. He said to the Washington corre-

IT am in no way surprised at this de-
cision. I had predicted 1t from the first.
The result could not be surprising to any
one who had followed the case and knew
how it was presented to the court.
'"The companies. sheriffs and the Judge
and counsel for the defense seemed
moved by one motive-that this verdict
should show that workers have no
rights which corporations are bound to
respect, and that their mercenaries have
the right, il necessary, even to take hu-
man life at their employers caprice, es-
pecially when that life belongs to q
foreign worker"

probable action of the labor organiza-
tions as a result of this decision.
