THE PROFESSORS PORK.

Prof. Comstock Of Cornell, in speaking
to his class recently of the trials of scicnt-
lists, told his authentic tale of the exper-
fence of a professor of intertebrate ZOO
logy in a sister institution, which had bet-
ter be left nameless:
Trlchin2e in pork, the cause of the
frlghtful disease trichinosis in human
consumers, gives a peculiar appearance
to meat, which is studded with little
cysts, it is then known-to the trade as
"measiy pork" The learned scientist,
wishing some for study, went to the
butcher and asked If he ever got any
measly pork.
Sometimes said the butcher, eau.
tiOusly but I always throw it away"
We'll" sad the professor, the rext
time you have any 1 wish you'd send me
up sone," meaning, of course, to his La
b%oratory.
The butcher. stared at him, but said he
would. Three weeks passed, when the pro-
~fessor, growing impatient, again dropped
in.
Haven't you found any measly pork
yet?'
"Why, yes replied the butchers; Il sent
up two pounds a week ago"
A sickly grin broke over the professors
face.
where did you send it?'
"Wky. to your house, of COURSE said
the butcher.-New York Times.

lection people can nave to prize fighting.
Ring fighting is no rougher han football
nor one-half SO rough. I've seen foot
ball games that 1 wouldn't have been
mixed up in for money. There one poor
fellow gets knocked down and twenty
big, Swapping players run n pile
themselves up on top of him, and he
don't stand any show at all. It's a great
wonder thai more young men amt killed
that way.
but take a prize fight and it's differ
ent. When a mans down he's down n
his opponent let's him alone, and if his
people see he can't win they can throw
up the sponge and save him further
punishment. ! know men nave been
killed in the ring, but not half as many
as have been killed or disabled for life
on the football field, and in the prize
ring there are men appointed to see that
each man has a show. That's what I call
fair sport.
Il suppose one thing that has hurt

dictated the articles of agreement. It's
true they were drawn up with the idea
that Sharkey vas to be Fits opponent,
but when O'Rourke refused to permit
him to fight before November they were
accepted for Jeffries without the altering
of a comma. That don't look right to
me. OF course Fitz is the champion, but
1t takes two men to make an equitable
agreement, and this one was all one
sided. Why Brady even agreed to give
Fitz the same interest in the club for
this fight that he has himself. He has
paid a years rent for the club house.
Do you mean to say that Fitz will stand
for half of that?'
To this the answer of the Jeffries peo.

Prize fighting is the crooked business
that has been going on of late. Nobody
EVER accused me of taking and l can say
honestly that / 7 never went into the ring
without trying to do my best. If l failed
it was not from want of good intentions.
But there are lots of fakirs in the ring
just as there always nave been, not only
in the prize ring; but in every kind Of
sport. There are enough good men,
however, and honest fighters to keep up
the reputation of the game in spite of the
dirty work of the tricksters.
prize ring scandals are not only of
recent origin, however. There have been
hundreds of them since the days of Tom

crowd rushed into the ring and broke UP
the fight. Then they called it a draw.
Laying down mas been one of the
worst forms of scandal but l don't think
that the prize ring has been any more
crooked than any other kind of snort.
The trouble is that the fake has usually
been discovered, and then there has beeia
a general row that has done no end of
harm. The good men, however, have
never stood for anything of this kind.

how much money they would nave made

The Great Presidential Campaign OF
1900.

The policies of the great political
parties are now being formed and the
candidates discussed. The voice of
the people as recorded by ballot at the
approaching Presidential election will
probably decide the policy of the ma
ton for the next decade. Every citi-
zen must study the great questions that
are to come before the people. This
can only be done through the medium
of a great newspaper. Now is the
time, therefore, for every voter to SUBJ
scribe for the best and most reliable
newspaper obtainable. The Semi
Weekly Republic covers the whole field
of political news. While it is Demo
cratic. it publishes the news in regard
to all political parties without preju-
dice. Its Geographic and cable news
service is superior to that of any other
paper. Its special features are the
best. In fact. it is the paper for that
large class of readers who cannot af-
ford or do not have access to the daily
papers.
Attention Is also called to The Re-
pubttc'S Sunday Magazine. Its half
tone illustrations are alone worth the
subscription price. 1t is made up of
special articles by the best literary
talent, embracing variety of subjects
of current interest. News features of
absorbing interest are illustrated and
enlarged upon. For the benefit of the
ladies the latest fashions are hand
somely illustrated. The Republic Sun
day Magazine is always interesting to
every member of the family.
The subscription price of the Semi
Weekly Republic is $1.00 per year.
The Republic Sunday Magazine 1925
per year. Both papers are now being
offered at the very low price of $3.50
for one year. To secure this low rate
both must be ordered and paid for at
the same time.
