SOME BLOWS USED IN FIGHT
The blow most commonly. used by
boxers is the left-hand lead" At the
9eegInning of every round it is the blow
ing. as soon as it is found, or thought to
be found, the man who is making the
pace" leads with his left. If he is scien-
tinc, as he does so he turns his head a
little to the right and brings his right
arm up either to parry the return blow
or to have it ready to follow with if he
can Sometimes man who leads with
ms Ieft Is met by his opponent with
tration.
Sometimes a man who is hit at by a
1eft-hander ducks his head far enough to
the left to let the blow go over his
shoulder. As he does he ''brings his
right across" over his opponents arm
and lands on his jaw. This is called a
rIght-hand cross counter. and when it is
well given it is a ''corker" and very apt
to make its recipient careful about lead
ing again.
A LEFT-HAND UPPERCUT.
Again. man struck at by a left-hand
lead may either side-step out of its
reach, or swing his body over enough to
avoid it and let it pass over his shoulder.
As his opponent comes forward with the
force of his blow he brings his left fist
up quickly and catches him under or ON
the chin or face with it. This is called
left-hand uppercut, and is a very effec-
tive blow.
A very effective blow, but one that it
is very hard to land, is given by ducking
under your opponents arm when he
swings at your jaw, and hitting him on
the mark or under the heart before he
can recover his guard. This was one of
Charley Mitchell's favorites. and Fitz-
simmons is said now to have an i'm
proved edition of it.
CLINCHING
Frequently men clinch while fighting
This is most frequently done for
safety" as men playing billiards some
times go to the rail. Most men in elinch-

opponents chin. A good many in break

A DAY WITH THE DOCTOR OF WALL STREET.
Perpont Morgan Dogs Country Home Charities
His Money Enterprises.

The news that J. Pierpont Morgan had
sailed on the Majestic for month 5
stay abroad created a great stir in Wall
street, for THE Street. knows that this
man, its doctor, does not leave the coun-
try without urgent business. A CONSUL
tation may take him abroad; mechan-
ical discovery; any great public case,
but otherwise he remains at home to at
tend to the manifold duties.
In all his business career, extending
now over forty years, since he became
the manager of the George Peabody
Company, of London, Mr.. Morgan has
never loaned merely his name to an
enterprise.
What the Rothschilds are to the finan-
cial systems of nations, J. Pierpont
Morgan is to the financial system of the
United States. He is the Doctor of
Wall Street. in reality, the man who
comes forward when Wall street is low
and brings it up again to prosperity
He stepped into the breach created by
the panic of Black Friday. and he Gre
ated a new state of affairs after the
Blue Monday of four years ago. He
supported the Presidential administra-
ton when it was popular to run it down.
and he acted as a philanthropist when
the Nation needed one.
This fnancier and philanthropist, who
is unique in his generation, has just
celebrated his sixty-secOnd birthday:
He was born in Hartford, Conn, April
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1899-05-30

II. 1887, and started life with a good
character, cleverness and some money.
In those days Boston was the only
place in New England, and young Pier
pont was sent to the English High
School in Boston, where he took com
plete course. He then went to the Uni
versity of Goettingen, Germany, and re
turned to America at the age of 20 to be-
gin life.
1t was unique forty years ago for a
man to choose banking as a profession,
but young Morgan, whose father had
been banker before him, and whose
grandfather was a rich clergyman, saw
the need of a good American house for
legitimate investment.
He entered the bank of Duncan, Sher-
man & CO.. which was then the most i'm
portant house in New York, and began
to study banking as a science. He soon
had Il thorough knowledge of it, and
three years later he was appointed the
American agent and attorney of George
Peabody & Co.. London.
That was nearly forty years ago, out
he has held the job ever since, although
Peabody & Co. has changed to J. S. Nor
gan & Co, of which j. Pierpont Morgan
is member.
In his work and rise to fame and for
tune Mr.. Morgan has always held that
man could do everything with persever-
ance and industry. Other men who start
ed life with more than he went steadily

sonal success for one man.
While doing this he was making in
vestments on his own account and be
coming director in various concerns. 1t
would be impossible to-day to enumerate
the corpora tons of which J. Z. Morgan
is a director, but he is one of the fore
most figures in the Manhattan Railroad,
the New York Central and Harlem
River Railroad. the New York. Proyi-
dence and Boston Railroad and the
West Shore road. He is interested in
the Mexican Telegraph Company, the
Western Union and the Central and
South American Telegraph Company.
He is one of the owners of Madison
Square Garden, and owns Il great many
shares in land, building and merchants
manufacturing companies.
Most men who have come into such
holdings have done it in Il way which
has brought down criticism upon them.
But Pierpont Morgan has earned the
title of philanthropist while making
fortune for himself. He has given gen
erously at times of public calamity, and
is the owner and sole support of several
very large charities of New York, which
were originated by himself or his daugh-
tiers. Thus he has stamped himself as
a philanthropist of the best type while
a millionaire of the richest class.
The life of a man of millions is inter
esting always, but the life of j. Pierpont
Morgan is exceptionally so. His hours

Fifty thousand homes will be bright
ened between now and the first of May,
for all the volunteers are being mustered
out; and~on May-day they will be return
ing home to the firesides that have been
cheerless for year without them.
Time flies. and our brave boys who
marched away to teach the Dons les
son, have been year doing it and
Strengthening matters out for their coun-
try. Nor is it the United States alone
whose men have fought for the oppress-
ed. But all the nations on this CONT
nent have contributed their men. They
came from Mexico and Central America,
from Canada and Canadian Alaska, to
get the right of citizenship somehow, in
order to join the volunteers that were to
fight Spain.
In year away from home studying
the lessons which only war can teach,
a man can learn a great deal. Many
of the volunteers, when they are mus
tered this month or next, VIII not re-
turn. They are privileged to enlist in
the Regular Army, but a great many of
them will neither fight nor come back
home.
Having seen the grand opportunities
for work in the colonies they will re-
main and build up a fortune in lands and
in trade. Thousands who might come
back to the United States are going to
live in Cuba or Porto Rico, where they
will sell their products to the United
States and Canada. 1t is vastly differ
ent from farming in the North, and the
Cuban planter can see money springing
out from the ground in a night, whereas
the Northern planter must wait for his
ground to yield a revenue.
Many of the soldiers have married in
the islands and are now raising families
in these strange lands. Gray haired
women tell of sons welded to Porto
Rican bellies, and they show with pride
the picture he sends of his pleasant little
home.
So all the Johnnies will not come
marching home this spring, but there are
thousands of them who will return and
be greeted at the station by wives and
sweethearts, mothers and friends. They
are happy to get back after a year away;
and their employers who promised to
hold their positions for them while they
were battling for their country, will be
glad to have them home again. 1t will
be a merry homecoming and a sight to
see only once in a lifetime.

Many of our readers will easily
call to mind the Box Boutwell, Ball
murder case that came from the
Burneyville community about five
years ago and gave rise to so many
stubborn legal fights in the United
States district court at Paris, Tex.
OF the men accused Of being inn
plicated in the murder only one.
Fillmore Ball, was ever acquitted.
Ball was married to an Indian wife
and soon after his acquital he ap-
piled to the indian district court
for divorce, same was granted and
he was given the custody Of their
two children. The, children both
of whom still live and are aged
nine and eleven years respectively
were allowed to remain with theer
mother who afterward was married
to w. A. Anglin.
About four weeks ago Ball ap.
piled to the district court of this
nation for an order putting him
IN possession of the children. The
Judge ruled that the case was not
in his jurisdiction and he was ad-
vised to make application to the
county court. The application was
made, the order was granted and
the Indian sheriff instructed to put
Ball in possession of the children.
The children were then placed here
insSt. Agnes Academy, with in
strnctions not to allow them to
leave the campus with their mother.
The heart broken mother appli-
ed here to attorneys for legal ad-
vice and was advised that the district
court certainly does have control of
judgments emanating from that
court. In accordance with this ed
vice she appeared before the court
and asked that the order be mo6-
fed; this official refused to enter
tain the motion and the mother re
turned here today from Tish-
omingo. In advising again with
her attorneys she was told that the
order emanating, as it did. from
the probate court was without
force. Quick as thought that
mothers instinct developed plan
and was almost as quickly execut-
ed. Driving in company with her
husband to the convent, she asked
permission to see her little girls
and upon her persuasion the sisters
allowed the children to 60 the bug
gy to see their step father and as
soon as they were out from the
campus they lighted into the bug
gy and were rapidly driven away
and today they are a happy family.
The little girls often spoke to their
school mates how much they wish d
to be at home with mamma, and
by her cunning and determination
that wish is gratifed.
