NEW YORK. February 3.-A spec
ial cable dispatch to the Evening Tele-
gram says: An interesting Story OF
a woman's perseverance comes from
the wilds OF Glamorganshire She had
inherited a small farm, and as soon
as she arrived at marriageable ago
began looking for husband to share
her lot. She was quickly married
but the couple had hardly settled
down to welded bliss when the hus-
band died without having had a
chance to begin To cultivate the farm.
Not intimidated by this, the widow
married a second husband. who sowed
the fields with grain. He likewise
died
she tried third, who reaped the
grain, but death soon snatehed him
awa-.
She then married a fourth. who
threshed the grain He also followed
the fate Of his predecessors
She then married a fifth husband
with whom she enjoyed the produce
OF the farm.
The woman had boldly married five
men in the short space OF eighteen
months.

A great many people think that Cor
bett can never get into good fighting
trim again and that his chances
against Jeffries are nil 1t must be re-
membered, however, that Corbett has
had a good long slime to recover since
his meetings with Fitzsimmons and
Sharkey, and that for over a year he
has been in daily training and vet is
to-day a good deal heavier than he
ever was.
If Corbett has. the stamina and re-
serve power necessary to enable him
to be in coed shape after eight or ten
rounds and is not played out at that
stage of the encounter there is some
basis for the theory that he will give
a good account of himself during the
whole affair.
The matter, it appears to ne, re-
solves itself into this one issue: Can
Corbett get into shape to withstand a
hard encounter without becoming
played out in the first few rounds?
This. however, is a question that nat
uraliy cannot be answered until after
the battle is over.

1t is the opinion Of many experts that
he will have a good show to lower
the champions colors. Jeffries wore
out Sharkey by laying his weight Oh
him in the clinches more than By any
other action. These tactics so weak
ened the sailor that during the last
few rounds of the fight he had not
the strength to ward off or return
with any degree Of accuracy Jeffries'
heavy punches and rushes. Now, as
Corbett is vastly more active and
clever at foot work than Sharkey, it
is doubtful if the champion will be
able to employ the same tactics with
any degree Of success in the coming
encounter.
