THE DOLLAR AND THE PUG.
The muscular and leather-funged ex-
ponents OF the manly art of self de-
tense" as practiced nowadays, while
ostensibly in the ring for the glory of
fStic achievement nevertheless keep a
sharp lookout for the gate receipts
+. the mighty dollar. In ract, it is next
to Impossible TO get two modern gladi-
ators OF the championship class to face
0ne another in battle, unless the purse
at Stake and the gate receipts are Sc
cured by the most ironclad contract
that can be drawn up. Even this
doesn't always suffice, as witness the
ancient but mighty Mr.. Fitzsimmons'G
declination to go on with MI. Shar-
key in 1heir latest battle until the nee
essary funds were actually sin sight,
where they could not get away. Like
wise the referee, guaranteed under the
most ironciad contract the sum of
$500 for mis- services declined TO Off

the realm was in hand or at least with
in safe reach.

that the gentlemen OF the pugilistic
arena have not an Implicit and abiding
faith ia the honor and veracity OF one

to pass on this point than they them
selves?
IN the olden days when bare knuck-

III obscure places before only chosen
and trusted few in order to escape the
vigilance OF officers of the law, it is
true that glory was the chief incentive
to these combats, for there was mighty

when these gladiators or their descend
ants do battle in public they select the
largest buildings they can find in met
rcpolitan centres Of population, with
a view Of accommodating the greatest
number OF spectators at SO many dol
lars per seat or standing room and the
fight is pulled off, with full police
protection. 1t is different, very differ
ent. The same or possibly even a
wider glory may be at stake but 1t is
merely an incident-the prime object,
secured by castiron agreement made
doubly secure, is the Mighty Dollar.
About two years ago It was estimat-
ed that Bruiser Sharkey. an illiterate
sailor. was worth in hard cash. all
made in the fistic arena in which he
was and yet is a comparative new
conner, $4,000. Since then he has
pocketed many additional tens Of thou
sands OF dollars. He is reputed to be
lavish spender of money. Fitzsim-
mons, the thrifty Cornishman, is
known to be a comparatively rich man.

replied the minister's wife, looking at
him with smile.
"Oh, well. that may be, Sarah. But
let Inc read you the other letter." he
went on without discussing the salary
matter:
CHAPEL HILL CHURCH, ELMpALE.
Rev. Philip Strong:
Dear Brother-At meeting of the Elmdale
Chapel Hill church. held last week Thursday, it
was unanimously voted to extend you a call to
become pastor of the church at salary of 50, 1000
a year, with two months vacation, to be selected
at your convenience. The Chapel Hill church
is in prosperous condition, and many Of the
members recall your in the college with
much pleasure. This is especially strong CEN
ter for church work, the proximity of the boys
academy and the university making the situation
one of great power to man who thoroughly un-
derstands and enjoys young men. we know you
do. We most earnestly hope you will consider
this call not as purely formal but as from the
hearts Of the people. We are, very cordially
yours, in behalf of the church,
PROFESSOR WELLMAS,
Chairman of the Board of Trustees.
"What do you think Of that?" asked
the minister again.
1.-THE salary is just the same, isn't
it?"
"Now, Sarah" said the minister, ''if
didn't know what a generous, unsclf-
ish heart you really have should get
very veXed at you for talking about
the salary as if that was the most i'm
portant thing.''
"The salary is very important. though.
But you know, Philip, would be as
willing as you are to live on no salary
if the grocer and butcher would con-
tinue to feed us for nothing. | wish
from the bottom of my heart that we
could live without money"
''It is bother. isn't itY' replied Phil
Ip, so sgravely that his wife laughed
heartily at his tone.
"Well the. question is. what to do
with the letters" resumed the minister.
(which Of the two churches do you
prefer?'' asked his wife.
NJ would rather go to tho Chapel Fill
church as far as my preference is con-
cerned."

that is the way you feeL?" ". -
Because, while | should like to 60

Willmar tribune., 1900-02-28

Philip Strong, with smile and sigh,
took Ep his pen and wrote replies to
the calls he had received, refusing the
call to Elmdale and accepting the one
to Milton. And so the strange story of
a great hearted man really began.
When he had finished writing these
two letters, he wrote another, which
throws so much light on his character
and his purpose in going to Milton that
we will insert that in this story as be-
ing necessary to it's full understanding
This is the letter:
My Dear Alfred-Two years ago, when we left
the seminary, you remember we promised each
other in either of Us left his present parish

beginning of a new life to The Calvary

accepted it. Two months ago my church here

Philip Strong could not decide what
was best to do.
The postman that evening had
brought him two letters, and he had

out through his stUuy window. lie
was evidently thinking very hard, and
the two letters were the cause Of it.
Finally he rose, Wrnt to his study
door and called down the stairs
"Sarah l wish you would come up
here. want your help"
"All right, Philip. I'll be up in a min
ute,'' responded voice from below,
and very soon the minister's wife came
up stairs into her husbands study.
whats the matter?' she said as
she came into the room. 1T must be
something very serious, for you don't
call me up here unless you are in great
distress. You remember the last time

So he began at once. and we will

CALVARY CHURCH. MILTON
Rev. Philip Strong:
Dear Sir-At meeting of the Milton Calvary
church, held last week, it voted unanimously

the part OF Calvary church and become its pastor
The church is in good condition and has the
hearty support of most of the leading families in
the town. 1t is the strong st in membership and
