FOX FIGHTS A DRAW.
Stands Before George Kirwan, of Chi
cagO for Six Rounds.

In regard to the showing made by
Booker Fox last night in boxing
match at Des Moines, the Register
says: "The preliminaries were very
weak. The first was a six round bout
between Booker Fox, colored, Of OF
tumwa, and George Kirwan, of Chica-
GO. Kirwan is a great fighter, but I'M
fortunately for him he had too much
drug store water yesterday, and all he
could do was to take punishment for
six rounds and get a draw. When in
good condition Kirwan could put Fox
out in one round, but the Ottumwa
man made a monkey of him last night.
Fox was angered because he was
not given a decision over the Chicago
man.

Story Of the Day.

I went down into the cellar the 9th
er day and leaned up against my hon.
est old gas meter. His breath is, a
trife offensive but he is n of my best
friends. ASH gently patted his back
Hooked at the other meters II Won
dered how he could keep honest in
such fast company. just then L
thought / heard music. 1t was the
morning concert of the meters, and
my old friend sang:
III bake your bread and light your
dwelling
AT an honest price for the gas I'm
selling.
III never go out when least expected,
j have no wires that are disconnected.
My figures never need correcting.
To my monthly bill there is no OBJ
jecting.
I'll treat you well and serve you
squarely,
Ny owners wish all treated fairly.
Then the Electric Light meter sang:
Watch me make a thousand wat"
Put your nickelin my slot.
Now look at the numberyou have got
You draw a prize with every shot.
Look at the gait that I can trot
Watch me make the meter hot.
I'll just make the old thing rot.
I'll tie it up in a double knot.
Then the steam meter blew off the fol
lowing:
Clickety. click, sixty cents.
What do ] care for this mans expense
Watch me jump right over the fence.
Clickety, click, sixty cents.
Clickery, click. sixty cents.
Look at the steam that / condense,
The bills l make are a prison offense.
Clickaty, click, sixty cents.
Clickaty, click, sixty cents.
The way l count is just immense.
lcllarge shillings where l, should
charge pence.
Clickety, click, sixty cents.
Then all was silent and i came slow
1y upstairs and pondered. Iohave now
placed the following sign in my cellar:

Paul Kruger's Faith.

London, Nov. 29.-The Mail pub
fishes a conversation with Mr. Kruger
in Paris. The special says that Kruger
grew excited and vehement when the
reporter limited that England would
ignore all attempts to secure arbitra-
ton and would fight any combination
of powers rather than give up the
republics.
"Mr Kruger insisted" says the cor
respondent, that Mr.. Chamberlain
had signed The Hague convention and
could not withdraw. He said that
England had earned just punishment
and that IL there was God she would
be punished.
