COM 3 OF GOOD STOCK
Preacher Alexis Jefries and His
Pugilistic Champion Son.
'Conaueror Of Fitzsimmons Got His
Fighting Blood from HIS Parson
Father ~ The Two Men
Compared. S3

Some critics might call it study Of
antithesis. Others might fall back
ON on the good old principle that minis
tiers sons are apt to be about the re-
verse in all ways Of their reverend
fathers. Men who know them both
will probably assert that the fighting
spirit holds good in both son and father,
only that the elder does battle with
the devil and the younger uses his
enormous strength on mortal man.
Take any theory you like, study it out
as much as you'd desire, and it all revolves
back and home to the primal fact
that Alexis G. Jeffries is a minister Of
the Gospel, and that James J.. Jeffries,
his cherished son, is the champion pu-
giist Of all the world.
Old Alexis Jefries, says the Chicago
Tribune, is a man Of the good American
stock-the men who peopled the At
lantic coast, drove out the Indians, and
colonized the interior. His ancestors
were men who penetrated the wilder
ness with gun in hand, and their de-
scendant retains the rugged frame, the
massive strength, the fearless energy
of his forefathers. So does his son.
The boy is the father, with all the added
size and vigor that long life in Califor-
MAS golden cline can give.
Alexis Jefries is an evangelist, who
holds to no special church, who scorns
to accept q salary for his preaching, and
who has yet prospered in this worlds
goods. Back in the foothills of Los An,
geles he has a ranch; down in the out
skirts Of the lovely town he has home.
Forty thousand dollars they rate the
preachers wealth, and the average citi-
;: would believe that here, amid ease
and and luxury, surrounded with all the
lie and beauty that the Pacific coast
can give, both father and son would
elect to pass their days, contented to

CLEANING OIL PIPES.
HoY the Underground Conduita In
il Pennsylvania Are Kept In Good
Working Order.

.Sf
To those Of ing curing mind who have
seen or read of the long pipes that car
ry crude petroleum from the wells Of
west iPennsy lvania to the refneries
on the Atlantic seacoast it is q source
Of wonder how the pipes are cleaned.
AS the oil flows through these under
ground conduits the paraffin in the fluid
is separated, and this residuum incrusts
the sides of the pipes and proves q Sc
3rious hindrance to the free passage Of
the current of oil.
The device that is used to remedy this
evil is a knife, about two feet in length,
with a sharp edge that is constructed
exactly like the thread Of a screw; in
deed, the knife itself resembles huge
headless screw more than anything
else. It is always slightly smaller in

this instrument is inserted in the first

oil fields. It receives its motive power
from the streamsof petrol which It
accompanies all the way to the coast,
revolving rapidly as it hurries along
and scraping the channels clean from
every particle Of paraf6n.
It turns and twists and cleanses in
this manner throughout its whole long
journey, finally dropping from the,
pipes in the midst Of the vast stream of
petroleum that empties into the receiv-
ing tanks at the refneries. OF course,
its edges are duller than when it started
upon its expedition. but otherwise its

counties something is causing fax
plants to die. Rust is reported in some
wheat and barley fields, and also some
lodging, but the drier weather is stiff
fening the stalks so that lodging will
not be as serious as If wet weather
continued. Corn is still somewhat
backward, but it is improving steadily.
Hay is generally a good crop, but there
are localities where both clover and
timothy are SO poor that other crops
will have to be used for provender.
