Billiard players and lovers Of the sport
who have lately frequented the rooms
of Maurice Daily have noticed a boy of
about eleven years Of age apparently
toying with the ivory balls upon the
table. This youngster is Willie Hoppe,
of Cornwall-on-the-Hu Hudson, and the
keen observer soon discovers that he can
do more with his cue in minute than
ninety-nine out Of one hundred can do
IN hve. He is certainly genius of no
mean sorder,s and has a natural aptitude
for all the various forms of billiards
that bids fair to land him champion
some day. Maurice Daily believes that

GLOVE AND KNUCKLE.
Edwards neglected to tell his readers
the difference between q battle with and
without the padded mitts. In the bare
knuckle contest the fighters depended
upon punishment that would compel an
+ opponent to stop white still in full pos
session of his faculties. The bare knuckle
did not stun. The glove has just the OPP
pcsite effect. A blow placed on the right
spot causes suspension of the faculties,
because of the shock, without, in the ma
Jority of instances, leaving even a mark
to indicate how the damage was inflicted
The glove stuns. The bare knuckles cut
and bruise. That is all the explanation
that is necessary. The glove is a thing
of civilization. The bare knuckle a relic
Of saVagery and barbarism. 1t was but a
step from the bare knuckle to the cestus
the cruel weapon worn by the ring
gladiators of the days when men fought
beasts as we'll as battled man against
man before great crowds of cheering peo-
pie. The cestus killed The bare knuckle
manned and marked for life. The glove
leaves no lasting damage to a gladiator
FINISH TO LIMIT
There can be nothing suggested to make
boxing humane. There is nothing hui
name about it. But the people have
thrown safeguards about it, from time to
time, that have finally made it less OBJ
iectionable, and that is the reason why
boxing in public is today permitted in
many states of the Union. When the
finish fight became obnoxious there was
added the restrictions Of a limit as to
the number Of rounds the men should be
permitted to go. Before this limit was
fixed there were battles that lasted up
into the f1fties in number Of rounds, aye
even sixties and seventies. A few went
above 100 rounds. Now, under the new
arrangement, twenty-five rounds Is the
distance fixed. There are more battles
at less than at that figure and the day
will come when still further restrictions
will be added-when the gloves will be
not less than eight ounces instead Of five.
And then skill will take precedence over
strength, and the better boxer will be the
master OF the brute who has been en-
dowed with marvellous strength. Boxing
and fighting should be separated. Box
ing is healthful exercise. Prize fight
ing is not to be countenanced. Fencing
with the foil is as boxing with the gloves.
Fighting with the sword is as prize fight
ing, with or without gloves. Edwards is
wrong. Pugilism has progressed.

Many Of this population seldom see
the light of day. They are there from
Christmas to Christmas, in the miles

der the Carpathians and Alps-gal-

and descending, crossing each other
at various angles and reaching far
under the overlying salt, rock and

This subterraneau population is a
happy one, as happy Rs the one in the
sunshine at the many mouths of the
great salt pits. There are icy and
sorrow there, births, deaths and mar
riages. Holidays are celebrated there,
and among the greatest of these is
Christmas. In the narrow salt bound
galleries the petitioned Christ child
walks bearing precious gifts; there
enters the welcome st. Nicholas, and
he is followed by dreaded hobgoblins,
who frighten refractory children into
good behavior.
On Christmas Eve and Christmas
Day the echoes of the rock ribbed
caverns are awakened by the children 8

the joyous shout in childish games

music and the dance, feasting and

and decorated gift bearing tree that
illumines diamondlike crystals that
gather up the light, divide it into pris-
matte beauty and cast it back again.

President Mckinley and members OF

Tor Mt. Vernon and proceeded direct to

of the funeral procession Of one hun

After the ceremonies at the present

At Fort Washington a gun was fired
every half hour ending at sunset. AS

Grace. "How many OF us would work
for our board and go to school and
wear ont old clothes and everything,
as she does?"
But you never think Of the clothes, :"
said Daisy,
"No, but she does" said Maude.
Nothing but the party was talked
about Tor the remainder of the week,
and on Saturday twenty boys and
girls were busy selecting gifts for
Aunt Deborah.
All the boys and girls, with the ex-
ception Of Molly Andrews, belonged
to well-to-do families. Molly's father
had been one of the wealthiest men in
the village until year before, VIII eli
he had failed in business and taken
every cent Of his property to pay lis
debts. Since his death Molly had
been living with Mrs. Barton, working
for her board and going to school, and
her life was not very comfortable. 2.
Her dearest dream had always been
TO cultivate her musical talent, but
that dream seemed hopeless enough
now.
She bought pretty silver souvenir
spoon for Aunt Deborah, ami it took
every cent that she had been saving
toward the music lessons, but she
never said a word about it, and none
of the girls dared mention it to her.
Christmas night was beautiful aud
clear, with great full moon and
sharp, healthful air, and tn > party OF
boys and girls that came troopins mp
to the door Of the big farmhouse were
rosy-cheeked and bright-eyed aud as
merry as need be. Aunt Deborah
| welcomed them cordially and they
soon felt quite at home.
In the sitting room a table had been
spread out for the reception of the
gifts, which Grace and Maud arranged
tastefully. Then Aunt Deborah ex.
amined them with great care, noting
critically each name and giving atten-
tion to each piece as though she were
one of the judges at county fair, as,
indeed, she often had been. But
when she came to the souvenir spoon
some of the girls thought she made NJ
the little sneeze which gave her an ex
cuse for using her handkerchief Any
way, she took the spoon up again the
last of all and held it in her hand while
she cleared her throat twice before
she tried to speak.
