PUG PRATTLE
Buskirk Bumps Goddard-Sharkey
Challenges Fitz

MARYSVILLE, Cal, Jan. 1.-Five
hundred people gathered in Turner hall
tonight to witness the eight-round go
between Joe Goddard of Australia and
Theodore Buskirk of this place. Ref
cree John Colford awarded the fight to
the home man after eight rounds of tome
fighting. UP to the fifth round the mill
was void of excitement, but in this round
the men got down to harder work.
In the sixth Van sent his man to the
floor. After Colford announced his de-
cision Goddard offered to fight Van
Buskirk for a purse of $500 and guaran-
teed to put his man out inside Of twelve
rounds. 1t is very probable that re-
turn match will be arranged on these
terms.

In Handwriting.

Perhaps it is not generally known
that Mohammedans never use printed
Korans; because in doubt as to the
ingredients entered into the compost
ton of the printing ink. They are
afraid of being defiled by taking into
their hands a copy of the sacred book
which may have been produced with
the ink in which pigs fat, instead Of
linseed oil, has formed one of the
component parts. They therefore con-
fine themselves to reading handwrit-
ten reproductions of the prophets

THE POOR DELUDED MAN.

He Tells His Friends How He would
Never Allow "a Woman to Manage
Him.
The lord of creation was sitting with
some men friends before CRATE fire
one cold evening and was exchanging
with them opinions on persons and
things. The conversation had drifted
around to discussion of married life,
and the host had the floor. "Unac-
countable, isn't it." said he, 'how hard
it is to make some women understand
that they don't need to manage their
husbands? I've never had any trouble
of that kind myself-wouldn't stand
it for second even if Polly were dis
posed to try her hand at management
but it seems impossible to prevent
some women from attempting all sorts
of things in the way of regulating the
actions of their husbands. Now, when
fell in love with Polly she was what
she is now in rare moments-mild and
pretty and amiably appreciative of my
intellect. l did not ever ask myself
whether she was clever or not. didn't
care. We got along splendidly, like the
pious boy and his lazy brother, the
first of whom said the prayers and the
last the Amen / did the talking and
Polly egged me on with raising of eye
brows, smiles and sympathetic Obs,
or Abs Well, we married. have
learned that Polly's friends were under
the impression that she had captured
mental giant and was feeding him
with the sugar plums of fiction. She
gave people to understand that 1
labored under the delusion that she
was very brilliant person like myself,
and only her craftiness kept me from
finding out how shallow and silly she
was. Was ever more absurd idea
evolved from the brain of silly girl.
Polly clever! If she only knew that
her mild eyes, with the absolute ig-
norance of the world that lies in their
clear depths, are my stars of hope,
that her soft, faitering voice, that gets
shrill every time she tries to talk
learnedly, was what love better than
oratory, and that her irresponsible
way of discussing my pet theories is
what fatters and gratifies me more
than any amount of sane praise from a
really clever woman-well, if she
realized all that, wonder if she would
still believe that she has managed,
played with or 'deluded' me?"
Just then Polly came into the room
in quest of a book, and one of the
guests jokingly repeated the substance
of what her husband had said. There
was quizzical look in her face as She
said:
Ibid you say that, Tom?"
Her husband acknowledged the corn
Polly laughed good-naturedly and
said: "You old goose" and left the
room. She also left an uneasy sus
picion ON her husbands mind thai
after all perhaps she managed" hin
without his being aware of it. The
same idea occurred to more than one
of his guests, but of course there is nc
way of finding out whether such is the
case or not.-Chicago Chronicle.
