A Letter from Bob FitzsimmOns

Bob Fitzsimmons does not regard tbe reported injury of his right arm as SC. riously as the telegraphic dipatches would make it appear. In a letter to Tom James he says whatever ails his arm will not prevent him from fighting Jeffries. "I'm good" writes the Ans tralian. "I weigh TO pounds and never felt better in all my life. At that am nearly g years old, and can't tell how much longer I will fight. think I can lick Jefries in hurry, but may be he thinks different. All these candidates for the chamionship think the ssme.
 "Jeffries IS better man than Shar- key, and he knows it. Why didn't they give Jeffries fight when he was down there last winter looking for it? If Sharkey has improved why don't he take chance and make his claim for the championship betterP
 Il will be in New York in couple of days. We go to Newark N. J., from here, leaving Saturday night, I suppose we will know more about tn Jeffries fight then. Kenuy, my sparring part ner, has got tin ear, and goes over to the doctors this mornins to get it fixed up.
 "When I start training for Jeffries I expect to take of about five or ten pounds and fight at that. I can get to 154 right now and fight these middle weights. can take off ten pounds in two days in the Turkish hath and be strong. Julien will probably get on about four more fights for me this sum- mer after the Jeffries go. ] guess that will keep me busy, if anybody wants to take on the game. ."-Weekly Post.

The Passing Show.

A life of love is death dead broke.
 The heaviness ot girls beauty is . frown.
 A fCkie girl never made good house wife.
 Marriage finds moro towards al !hir- ty than at twenty.
 Matrimony is contract to fill long xpired contracts.
 The present age is meat of Aristotles and bone for Ciceros.
 Lots of men cal -ot appreciate good wife until after she's dead.
 Life's two most precious jewels are character and pure woman.
 Men that generally use the most vic- ious pen experience the least of hate.
 The worst worry of some girls is wondering if others can enterpee their dreams.
 An indolent housewife is a worse afliction to an ambitious man than all ofJob's boils.
 A Woman would rather be miserable and think she is in love than to be hap py in respect.
 The man or woman who ceases striv- ing to store their minds loses about all the best of life.
