utes to save my soul, and if l was as
good at my trade as Jcffries is at his
[ might earn $4,000 in forty-four
minutes, or at least in years and
months of hard work and training
my mind as he has trained his body.
Every mnn in his line, and l respect
the man who is the boss in whatever
he undertakes to do. l know he
cant be boss without work and pa
ticnce and sclf-denial and courage.
AS this is about prize fight, some
boys may read it, and they may
make n note of the fact that Jcffries
has never tasted liquor or tobacco
in his life. The fact is, the man who
intends to be the best man in the
world physically must be moral and
clean and abstinent, and he must
work hard and suffer and deny him
self much, just like the man who in
tends to excel in any other business.
The boy who intends to get clear of
and above and beyond the common
run and general average in any trade
or profession must cut himself loose
from the vices, big and small, of the
common run and general average and
will have to work harder and DENY
himself more than the common run
and general average.
John Sullivan wrecked himself on
liquor, Jim Corbett, who is keeping
big saloon in Broadway, and who
was happier over Fitzsimmon's fall
than anybody else, is back number
for reasons which cannot be printed,
and Fitzsimmons thought he could
hold his place and dissipate between
training times and found he couldn't.
BY the way, it is a c"rious COM
plication of domestic ethics that
Martin Julian, Fitzsimmon's backer
and most devoted friend, married
Fitzsimmons's divorced wife, while
Fitzs'mmons married Julian's sister.
The prize fighting people are almost
as bad in point of morality as New
York's 100.
Julian is fat little fellow and he
was nearly frantic last night-com-
mittcd a palpable foul in the tenth
round, which / sec none Of the news
papers mention, by running around
outside the ropes and showerins
water on Fitzsimmons as he lay in
the ring, knocked down but not yet
knocked out.

Sheep and Dog Raising.
amily Pills arc tho best.

The Secretary of the Kansas State
Agricultural Society has issued a re-
port on the sheep and dog raising
industries of that Commonwealth.
With some slight notifications, this
report might be said to represent
conditions in South Carolina about
as well as in Kansas. Probably
South Carolina would stand little
higher on dogs and little lower on
sheep. On the 50,000,0OO acres of
land in the State, says the Kansas
man, there is but one sheep to each
$50 acres, while the number of dogs
is 10000. Two years ago the sheep
outnumbercd the dogs by 80 per
cent, while last year this percentage
was reduced to II. In one county
there were 900 dogs to each sheep,
and in twelve selected counties there
were 200 dogs to each sheep. lie
thinks both sheep and dogs have
their places, but dcplores the present
condition. lie notes that the crop
is exempt from the vicissitudes of
other industries, and that neither the
tariff nor free trade seems to affect it.

tho work Is done are required to pay
only small share of its cost. The
rest of the expense is shared by
city and country property holders,
because county taxes are assessed in
the cities as we'll rs in the country,
and because State taxes are shared
by everyone in tho State, according
to tho amount of property he owns,
including the wealthy manufacturers,
railway and insurance companies.
AS most of the wealth Of the State
is to be found in the cities, the New
Jersey system successfully brings
about the construction of improved
gravel or stone roads without laying
their entire cost upon the farmers,
and without requiring them to con-
tribute more than an equitable share
of expense, according to the wealth
of each individual taxpayer. The
State aid system successfully answers
the objection still made by many,
that we cannot have good roads with
out overlooking the farmer with
taxes, of which he is already paying
more than his share.

Vast Profits in Standard Oil.

Denver Post : According to the
Standard Oil Company's sworn state
ment in the hands of the Attorney
General of Ohio, n barrel Of refined
oil costs that concern just twenty
cents, or two-iifths Of cent a gal
lon. In that cost is included raw
material, treatment and the expense
of refining the oil. From this it
would appear that some one is MAX
ing an outrageous profit by charging
the consumer twenty cents gallon
for an article which costs but two
iifths of cent to manufacture.
With each gallon the consumer pays
for the manufacturing Of a barrel.
The oil could be produced and de-
livcrcd at two cents n gallon i'm any
part Of the United States, and if
sold at five cents q gallon would
bring an immense profit.

Some of the methods Of practical" poll.

sums ranging from $500 TO 5000, for votes
in favor of the McCarrell bill or for ex-

didate by man who said that the question

by certain anti Quayites, but had been ad

punished for this fragrant attempt at bribery
remains to be seen, certainly there is enough
of evidence to warrant prosecutions.
