one right back. They exchanged left
wings when Joe rushed and tried with
right and left, Kid clinching. Mccoy
kept sending straight left iebs with
wonderful accuracy. with Tn occasional

two left jabs, Choynski fiddled for an
opening for his right, but could not

round, and had a.decided advsntage.On
points at this stage.

left but missed and took left hook in
face. Mccoy missed left swing for
head and got short left on the neck,
blocking Joe's swing, and then landed

excitement, but in another moment got

A Chapter on Pens.

1t was not until 1870 that Birming-
ham manufacturer named Harrison In
troduced the metallic pen to England.
Even then, 25 years later, when q
barrel Of them was on sale In London,
we read that they were by far too ex-
pensive for general use. We do not
know the price then asked, but at the
time Of the battle Of Waterloo we read
that Sheldon Of Sedgley was selling
them at IS shillings the dozen. In the
II years following that date the price
fell to two-thirds this sum.
Today, on the average, $50 pens cnn
be bought for the price which our
grandfathers paid for one 90 years
ago. Yet there Is good deal Of work
to be done on the successor Of Byron's
"Gray Goose Quill" Each Of the mil
lions turned out every year Ut Is
thousand million in England alone} has
to go through 1G separate processes.
One English writer on this subject
says: "Should we, In place OF rolling out
the steel into strips the thickness of
pens. pull 1t out into one square bar
having the width and height Of Its
cross area each three-sevenths of an
inch. then we should get bar 471
miles long, which could be bent So
that one end Of the arc rested In Lon-i
don and the other end In Edinburgh"

His Lilo Saver.

A commercial traveller who is putting
up at one Of the hotels exhibited a
curious contrivance to some friends
last evening. It consisted of metal
reel almost eight inches long bolted Sc
curely to one OF the inside corners of
his trunk. On the reel was wound
about 100 feet Of steel wire, terminal
ing in a sort Of stirrup. The entire tie-
vice occupied considerably less than a
square foot Of room, and the drummer
explained that it was fire escape Of
his own invention. "All have to dc"
he said. "is to put my foot in the
stirrup and let myself out of the
window. The trunk acts as an anchor
at this end and q ratchet at the side
Of the reel prevents the wire from pay
ing out too rapidly"
"Did you ever have occasion to put
it to user" asked one Of the spectators.
"Only once" replied the drummer.
II was In hotel that caught fire at
night about eight months ago, and the
first thing / did when I jumped cut
Gf bed was to rush for my trunk. It
was locked, and in my excitement l
couldn't find the key. 1 hunted high
and low and was still hunting when
the porter rushed in and led me down
stairs. They extinguished the fire,
and I subsequently discovered the key
under the bureau. Now I have the
thing on a chain and am loaded for
