to all others. The trees are full of twlt-
tering birds and their farmer friend seeks
to protect them. There is a family Of
thrushes that he feels sure has come back
for a second season. He has watched the
barn swallows flock to his little pond,
jab their bills into the mud and gather
material. for their nests under the caves
of the barns, and he has studied the little
I masons while at work building the walls

ANNOYED BY SPARROWS.
/, ttSeme farmers object to the birds be-
cause they eat, fruit said Mr.. White,
but that is their nature and 1 say let
them live and ahave their share of. the
good things Of the world
But he has problem on hand that he
has not been able to solve. colony Of
biuejays has invaded his trees and he
fears they will drive away the other
birds He is trying to find u way of get
ting rid Of the intruders without hurting
them. A flock of English sparrows that
has come lately into the neighborhood is
also the subject of much concern for q
similar reason.
In one corner of the yard is tall wind
mill drawing water from we'll more
than 200 feet deep. Near by is mound
suggestive of a big cyclone cellar, but on
mounting to the top one finds it reser-
voir for water A system OF pipes carries
the water to the distant barns, which are
considerably lower than the reservoir. A
wire running to the top of the windmill
| is covered with a clambering vine, and
near by is a rose bush smothered in blos-
sons In front of the house is a low,
neatly trimmed Usage orange hedge
Across the road is a hedge ten or twelve
feet high which helps to make an effee-
tual Windbreak for the cold winter winds
from the north.
Such is the man on whom the Demo-
Gratis of Iowa have pinned their faith in

international battle, which involves the
championship of the world In the bantam
class and a purse of $4,000. Each man is
confident that he will be at the figures
stipulated, fit to battle for kingdom,
though neither had scaled so low as lis
up to Saturday morning. AS result of
the early weigh-in the little fellows will
nave a chance to take on several pounds
before the hour fixed for the beginning of
the contest-3:3O p. m. This, it is claimed,
will prove of especial advantage to Nc
Govern, who is in fine fettle, and, it is
said, takes on weight rapidly.
MGOVERN IS FAVORITE.
Some big wagers have been laid on the
outcome of the battle, with McGovern
ranging the favorite. In fact the betting
on the event is up in the figures that gen.
orally surround battle of great moment,
such as a contest in which is involved
the highest title in the ring. Thousands
of dollars will change hands on the out
come of the event. All the smart ones

who are so confident that McGovern will
win that they are willing to give odds,

SHOULD BE EVEN MONEY.
There should, be no such odds as pre-
vail in the rMcGovern-Palmer match
The men are SO evenly matched that the
& betting should be the same, and take
your choice, Patriotism naturally plays
a part in the betting, and that is proba-
bly, the only explanation that can be Of
fered as to why McGovern should be
made favOrite in the coming battle. It
must be remembered that Palmer is a
high-class boxer, and that he will not
agree. to the Siler Interpretation of the
Marquis of Queensbery> rules. Palmer
says the straight rules must go, and the
referee will be compelled to give them the
definition to which they are entitled. and
certainly they do not read as they have
been interpreted in some of the recent
ring contests. That Palmer is far and
away the better boxer, so far as skill is
concerned, is admitted. What the talent
bases its confidence in McGovern upon is
his wonderful hitting powers and his ag-
gressiYeneSs.
BATTLE ROYAL.
The meeting should result in battle
royal. There are no better men in the
world in their class. The career of
Palmer has been marked by a succession
of clean-cut victories over men who
ranked high as fighters. The Britisher's
lrecord is superior to that Of McGovern
In many ways, and yet the American has
shown himself to be wonder in the ring
and may convince the skepticaI that he is
vthe real master of the little ones What
ever may be the result of the battle, the
Briton will know he has been in it. Nc

notable for its oratory. Mr. White won
another triumph in the convention which
nominated him for governor. Like Mr..
Bryan at Chicago, he made an eloquent
speech that swept away all opposition
and brought him the nomination.
How did this poor German boy, with
little schooling, living on an isolated
farm, become an orator?y Perhaps it
was born in him, but 1t may be safe to
assume that 1t Is largely due to the read

Hoosier In declining the match F1tz-

saying frankly that he would challenge
the winner of the Jeffries-Sharkey bout
and that he had rated Jeffries too cheap

that he is the greatest living fighter, and
wants an opportunity to retrieve his set
back. He may not get 1t. The probabili-
ty is that there will be other battles be-
fore it is again UP to Fitz. Corbett has
been promised a chance at the winner OF
