FITS FUTURE.
Champion Bob Fitzsimmons has a
valet. Everybody that went to see the
actor -pvSgilist i'm the "Mulligan
Guards Ball" in Chicago didn't see the
boy in brass buttons and gold braid,
but he was behind the scenes just the
same, and scampering around obeying
his lanl<y master just as all Wallets are
supposed to do. 1t is the first season
that Bob has ever thought that an
understudy was necessary.
AS for the valet, he is a positive
wonder. The Prince of Wales would
think he was more valuable than Tod
Sloan if he should ever get even a
mCnOcle glimpse at him. He is gold
braided all over, and brilliant buttons
make his suit of blue look jaunty. On
each side of his coat collar the word
valet is emblaZoned in gilt capital
letters. Bob says he's a capital fell
low. All the chorus girls are after
him.
Fitz has launched off on another an
gle. In his previous shows his ap
pearance on the stage has been sig
nalized only by the regular bag
punching and sparring exhibition. But
in the "Aulligan Guards balr' he as
sUmes the role of the actor, the real
article. He says a few lines, and he
doesn't tolerate any prompter off in
the wings either. 1t is certainly
thrilling moment where FitZ bit Of act
ing sandwiches itself in between a
comedy sketch and a soubrettes song.
1t is apparent that Fitz is deeply at
tached to his family. He intends buy
ing a pretty piece of land about ten
miles out of New York and building a
cozy home. He will do this next
spring.
Bob recently gave away his dog
Yarum and declares he has passed UP
the idea of having animal pets any
more.

only once within Hamline's thirty-yard line

Big Pugilist Tried to- Whip a Hotel
Force.

ANDERSON, Ind, Nov. 7.-Fitzsimmons,
angered at adverse newspaper criticism of his
show, started to clean out the Hotel Doxey
dining room force yesterday. He entered
the dining room with his hat on and was
told by Head Waiter Yokum that he must
remove it. Fitz took exceptions to the die
tation of a colored man. Yokum was OBJ
durate and gave the champion the privilege
of taking his hat off or leaving the dining
room. Fitz gave in. After breakfast he
heard Yokum was boasting and made a dive
for the stairs to clean out the whole force.
His people and the hotel employees finally
tanned him and hurried him off to his train.

Captain Mahan speaks of Nelson's

and Spain, England's naval supremacy
was established. The period of his.

which led him to seize chance which
to others appeared hopeless. He lost
an eye. an arm, and received deep
cut over his forehead at different bat
ties but remained without vestige of
personal fear, and was killed at his
post Of duty. Nelson sometimes gave
the following pithy cOunsels to young
men for their guidance i'm their pro-
fessiOnal life: First. you must always
implicitly obey orders, without at
tempting to form an opinion of your
own concerning their propriety: Sec
Ondly. you must consider every man
as your enemy who speaks i'll of your
king: and thirdly, you must hate
Frenchman as you do the devil" The
closing clause may partially explain
the undying nature Of the English
antipathy for the French.

Figaro, so one day when he was a little
Sleepy by reason OF the amount of brandy

rolled him in the inside OF a feather

got up in the morning he looked in the

good family. The poor little boy at
the age of twelve. wishing to assist the
family fortunes, asked his uncle, Cap
tain Sucking, to take him to sea.
What has poor little Horatio done, -
writes this uncle, THAT he. being so
weak, should be sent to rough it at
sea? But let him come. and if can

least be provided for" From his
delicacy of constitution there seemed
little likelihood that he would return
from the voyages to southern seas, but
while stronger men and boys sue
cumbed to the fevers and hardships of
a tropical climate, Nelson escaped.
Through the influence of his uncle he
was advanced rapidly to the rank Of
captain, from there promotion was
slower He was thirty mine when he
obtained the coveted flagship of an
admiral. All through the intervening
years he was constantly upon the
water. After spending three years in
the West Indies, he reached England
only to be sent to face the rigOrs of a
northern cline. and he had learned to
dread the cold much more than the
heat. 1t was while stationed i'm the
West Indies enforcing the laws in

her. 1t must have been weary wait

rival by which che was totally eclipsed.

Nelson, no doubt it was necessary to

face, by John l.. Webster, closes
with the words: ut is hoped that a
souvenir of this kind will not only re-
call the wonderful progress made by
the white people who have found
homes in the valley Of the Mississippi,
but create and forever perpetuate a
kindly feeling for the remnant Of the
Indian people still remaining and
who are slowly struggling upward to
ward a higher civilization" No one
could read this simple record of those
Indians who signed the treaty with
the government i'm 1854 by which the
land now occupied by the city of
Omaha and the exposition grounds
passed from the tribe forever, without
adding respect and admiration to the
kindly feeling" The treaty is printed
in full and is followed by short
sketches Of the chiefs and few In
dian legends. The life of + sta-mah "a,
Iron Eye. known to the whites as 10
seph La Flesche. is drawn with deli
cacy and charm inspired by love Of
the subject. The simple little tale
with its lofty ideals and high stand
ards of morality is so well told that
one mentions with hesitancy an in
accuracy at the close where some lines
on prayer from THE Rhine of the
Ancient Mariner" are ascribed to
Tennyson.
The son of Iron Eye is Mr.. Frank La
Flesche, now employed in the Indian
bureau at Washington. who is to lee
ture upon Indian Music at the con-
gress of musicians at Omaha. An
autograph fac-simile of a note 10 his
sister accompanies the music of a song
as follows: This is little song we
have often sung years ago in our play
with the children Of the Winjahgae
village. We used to form i'm single
line and march through the village
singing this at the top of our voices,
following the leader wherever he went
through vacant houses, deserted mud
lodges. the tall grass and through mud
puddles. Little beaded moccasinS
would be sorry sight when we got
through. 1 put it in your album to
remind you Of the fun We used to
have" After all the children Of diff
ferent races are much alike. To
escape from the insincerity and for
malism of everyday life into the ideal
atmosphere Of directness and single
ness of purposes diffused by these few
pages, is like rare visit to natures
haunts.
The parents of pupils in the public
schools are criticising the method of
preparing the work which was sent
from them to the educational exhibit
of the exposition. 1t seems that i'm
many cases the work was not done by
the pupil whose name is signed to it.
Superintendent SaylOr was most anx-
iOus that the work of the Lincoln
schools should compare favOrably with
exhibits from other sections of the
state. Those who examined the eX-
hibit of the Lincoln schools before it
was sent to Omaha were astOnished by
its cleverness. the manual skill of exc
cution and the feeling for color and
decoration. Upon examination it has
developed that the samples are COM
posites. Pupils whose handwriting
is excellent have copied the work of
the best scholars and signed only the
name of the latter to the joint pro-
