fries took chance with a rush that drove
Sharkey across the ring. Jeffries was cut
ting loose now and fighting in his best
style. He got the right into the body re-
peatedly and also hooked a left into Shar-
keys face. Toms left ear was badly
swollen. Jeffries blocked heavy left with
his elbow. and it was a wonder that Sher-
keys wrist was not broken. Jeffries was
grinning and good natured while Sharkey
was now trife puzzled. Jefries rushed
him into the champions corner. VII re
Tom overset pail of water on Jeffries'
seconds. Then they spared until time was
up.
Round 12-Jeffries met a rush with a
right-hand body punch. Sharkeys ribs
we're showing the effects of these awful
blows. Jeffries ducked out of the way of
a vicious left for the jaw, but the sailor
came again very fast with the same hand
and reached the ribs. Sharkey had evil
IDENTIFY been told to use his left more, for
he was using his right to protect the jaw.
Jeffries blocked the body blows with beau
tiful skill and was cool and collected. Soon
they got into mix-up and in an exchange
of swings Sharkey shook the champion
up with left and right. Jeffries landed in
the stomach with heavy left, but Shar-
key paid no attention to it, and swung
three terrific lefts to the jaw, which drove
Jeffries away. Sharkey landed punches
with both hands. Jeffries began TO fight
more openly with the result that they
mixed it until the crowd was wild. 1t was
still anybody's fight.
Round 13-sharkey drove the left to the
neck and whipped the same hand cleanly
to the jaw. Jeffries pounded the body with
the right, and also hooked the left to the
head Once Sharkey landed rather low and
Jeffries protested mildly. Sharkey waited a
minute and landed left on the neck. He
tried it again and missed. but as he came
around he landed back-handed left on
the ear. 1t was not exactly pivot blow,
but Brady was up again, screaming Foul -
Again Sharkey came in with both hands
working, his left reaching the face. Jeffries

Up to the Limit.
Round 25-They shook hands and smiled
pleasantly. Jeffries was the first to lead
with left over the eye Sharkey was
active once more and ran in with a right
swing that was stopped. Sharkey came
close again and they got into swinging
match. both landing heavy belts on the
head. Then there was lot of clinching,
at which both roughed it, and Jeffries,
with the right free, pounded the wind and
also hooked it up under the jaw! :, Shar-
key met every advance with terrific swings
and counters, and when Jeffries let up
Sharkey was the first to resume the slug
ging. Jeffries finally shook Sharkey per-
ceptibly with a terrific right on the jaw.
The sailor staggered and the champion was
after him like fash. In the fierce clinch
Sharkey fell to the floor. AS he got up he
found the referee trying to put on Jeffries'
left glove which had fallen off. Sharkey
waited a moment and as the referee could
not get the glove on. Sharkey wanted to

who brushed the referee aside and clinched.
While they were in this position the bell
rang and then they shook hands once
more. .-seS
Referee Siler gave the fight to the cham
pion and the crowd cheered. Delaney was
the first to throw his arms around Jeffries
and he also tied a silk American flag
around his neck. Brady, wild with Joy,
shook the big fellow by the hand. JET
fries was very much pleased and went
over to extend the hand of friendship to
Sharkey. The decision was considered
just in view of the unsteady condition OF
Sharkey in the last five OF six rounds. 1t
was the consensus Of opinion that IL the
fight had gone to a finish Jeffries would
have won with Knockout. Both men
were congratulated by their friends for the
remarkably fast fight which they put up.

SNAKE STORY.
Terrific Explosion Follows Striking a
Serpent.

This is a specially good year for
snakes and snake stories. BY way
of Williamsport, Pa, comes the sto-
ry that while blasting rocks on Sat
urday a man named John Ludwig
came upon large hlacksuaze The
reptile was sluggish and evidently
had just feasted, but when the quar-
ryman secured club it coiled itself
and showed fight. After some
trouble Ludwig approached near
enough to deal the snake a fierce
blow on the head. A terrific report
occurred and the quarryman was
hurled violently to the ground. The
shock stunned him. When Ludwig
got up he discovered that the snake
had been blown to pieces, all that
was left being piece of the tail.
For time Ludwig failed to realize
what had happened. Then he saw
that stick of dynamite was miss
inc. 1t is believed that the reptile
swallowed the explosive, and that
the blow on the snakes body had
been the cause of the explosion.

Baby Safe Under Flying Train.

COLUMBUS, 0, May 9.-The train
men on the Baltimore & Ohio freight
No. "a had thrilling experience at
Prout's station, on the Lake Erie di-
vision, near Newark, O., last evening,
in which baby figured.
The train was running south from
Sandusky at the rate of twenty miles
an hour. Mike Cosgrove being at the
throttle and John Thornton conductor
in charge. When near Prou,'s Cos
grove noticed little child playing in
the middle Of the track not more than
fifty yards in front Of the train.
lie blew the whistle and applied the
air brake, but he knew there was no
hope of stopping the train before
striking the child. The little fellow
paid no attention to the warning whis-
tie. and the engineer and fireman shut
their eyes as the engine struck him.
When the train was stopped some dis
tanee beyond Cosgrove went back to
pick up the child's remains. He and
the crew could hardly believe their
eyes when they saw the two-year- old
baby sitting in the center of the track
wholly unharmed save for two little
cuts, one on the forehead and the
other on the back OF the head.
Engineer Cosgrove recognized the
child as that of John Ponka. He
picked it up and hurried to the Ponka
residence near by, and when the child
was restored to its mothers arms and
Mrs. Ponka learned Of his marvellous
escape from death, she tainted. This
modern miracle was the absorbing
topic for conversation here to-day.

Tor doing his best in the battle of life.
The story told in Roman history Of
the panic that cnsucd among the
handsome Roman youths when they
found their enemies were striving to
disfgure their faces, finds it's counter
part in very.day life, and it is always
those who think least of themselves
and Of their good looks that are best
able to face the "slings and arrows Of
outrageous fortune"
Some years ago ugly heroines be-
came the fashion, especially with
female novelists, though it was evil
IDENTIFY difficult for them to refrain
from Transforming them into beauties
before the end of the story. If the
hero were q half decent sort of fellow.
it seemed hard lines to reward him at
the conclusion of the last chapter with
an ugly bride; and men with fellow
feeling for him utterly refused to con-
form to the fad, and went on making
their heroincs as lovely as possible,
until they converted the women writ
ers from the errors of their ways; and
so ugly heroines are no more in vogue
now in books than they are in real
life. 1t seems strange that time
should take such delight in marring
beautiful faces with his lines and
wrinkles, while allowing ugly ones to
go comparatively free. 1t sometimes
happens that those who have been
homely in youth and middle age grow
more attractive as the hair grows gray
and the touch of time softens the fea-
lures. Then, too, there is no uues-
tion but that the mind exerts beau
tifying effect upon the face. and many
countenance that has been but
roughly hewed by nature grows,
through the indwelling of noble and
loving thoughts, into beauty that is
far more impressive than that which
owes its lustre solely to the tender
grace OF youth. If one observes the
faces around one in crowd it will be
found that it is but rarely perfect
face is seen; but such is the trans
forming power Of the mind that the
kindling eye, the look of intelligence
and OF interest, the coming of a smile
can change the whole expression that
the face wears in repose, so that the
defective features and the ugliness are
forgotten, and we learn to admire the
homely face because Of the soul that
shines through it.-.Sunday News.

Some Reflections pon the Trend Of the
Times.


tie poor and no taint Of poison is left
to distract or disturb the relations Of
families. God bless such women.
They are what is left Of the old time
southern women. and | have the hope
yet that they may so leavcn the world
as to make the family what it used to
be, and save the church and the
preacher from the doom that is pend
ing
All Of my education has been to
have holy horror of priest tyranny.
| have always thought that priest
ridden people were the most cursed
of any. | have lived to conclude that
a "society etyriddcn people is the worst
curse that was ever put upon the hu-
man family. The priests do have the
method of preserving the family ties
and magnifying the church. The
''isms will tear down everything that
is sacred. The priests have women
as ''hclpcrs, but these are those who
give up the world-givc up fashion
and receive Il training that fits them
for the delicate work at their hands,
and they, too, magnify their church
and hold to the sanctity Of the family
ties. Their church is not my church
but honor them for the devotion Of
their work and the wisdom Of their
methods.
But no matter what may be the fate
of the preacher in the distance, he is
all right for the present in This neck
OF the woods. Chickens are ripcning
for his tooth, and the best Of every
thing will be dished out to him when
he mes. Despite all that l have
said, had rather be Il for worthy
preacher than anything on earth, and
know that there are great many Of
them who are worthy ones may feel
pretty gloomy sometimes, and think
chat all their anxiety about the world
is loss of energy, but l can tell them
that they live in many heart that
they least expect. That man is fool
who has not reverence for good preach
crs, good women and the church. But
may the good Lord speedily deliver US
from slick" preachers, cloud" women
and the devil, is my prayer.
But 1t Ia fishing time and spripgtime,
1t aren't no use to be growing,
For the world ia so deceiving
That its mighty hard to Judge Of what Is
best;
DO the best you can to-day,
Kick trouble from the way,
And the Lord is mighty sure to do the
rest.
