HIS DEFEAT WAS A VICTORY

Expense Of Champion james
Jeffries-What the Cham
pion Must Now Do.

| Hon. James J. Corbett, NJ. c. That is
the new title that may come to the man
who was once champion pugilist, and who
was defeated by the present champion,
James Jeffries. after a battle that was
certainly the most remarkable exhibition
of the kind seen in New York. Corbett
in defeat is greater than Jeffries with
victory perching upon his banners. JEFF
! fries name is scarcely mentioned in New
| York, while Corbett is being vigorously
doomed for congress from the Tender
loin district of that city. 1t is even said
that the other aspirants for the honor
are disposed to stand aside in order that
the popular hero may have a clear field
And it may be added that a nomination

ton, another ring celebrity may sit in: the
halls where once sat Hon. John Morrissey.

defense in the days when Heenan was a
star in the fistic armament.
IRONY OF FATE
What a bitter pill it must be for JEFF
fries to see the man he defeated lionzeG
while he the victor in Gne of the most
stuobornly contested battles of the rig,
is scarcely spoken of. 1t is indeed the
irony Of fate Before the battle COrbett
was scarcely considered a factor The
wise cnes shook their heads and said he
wes has~heen; that he had seen his
day, and was imposing upon the credulous
with the idea that he had been rejuven-
ated and was again a factor in the ring,
and in the championship division 1t was
perhaps that very condition that brought
to Corbett all the glory that has come to
him III defeat. Had Jeffries knocked out
the former champion III the third instead
of in the tWenty-third round Of theil
memorable contest, it would have been
different. Then those who knew it all
The time would have said: 81 told you
so, and Ccrbett would soon have drift
ed into oblivion at least as fighter
HEENAN'S FAME SIMILAR.
The case Of Corbett is, a reminder of
the career of John c. Heenan, whose
name IS synonomous with terror in the
minds of the younger element In Iieen-
an the youth can see a man who was 4
gient, and the master of his kind in
physique. They hear the name mentioned
and listen in awe as the veteran tells
of his wonderful proves. And yet
Heenan never won Il battle True, he
bested men, in his day. but he was un-
fortunate in every battle in which he er'-
gagged, and his title to first place was
never clearly established AT the moment
when he had Tom Savers, the champion
of England, beaten to a standstill, the
ropes were cut, the referee disappeared,
aud Heenan was again a victor without
a verdict. But his greatness was none
the less because of the reverses that.pur>
sued him throughout this career: He
lived q hero, and in death will ever be
regarded as such above men who perhaps
have clearer titles to the -honors of the12
calling.

The greatest kennel in the
world is located at Hickory Valley,
under the personal management OF
J. NJ. Avant, who is recognized as
the foremost trainer and authority
in the sporting world. 1t is owned
by company of New York, St.
Louis and Tennessee fanciers.
There are $4,000 acres of land
owned and leased by this company.
These men are rich, for only men OF
wealth can keep up such a preserve.
Mr.. Avant says that the section
embracing Southern Tennessee and
Northern Mississippi is the natural
treining center of the world. There
are more quail to be found In the
marsh lands of this section than
elsewhere, and game is very neoessa-
ry to dog training. The head train
ers of these big kennel preserves re-
ceive as much money for their work
as college presidents. The dogs are
pointers and settlers of the bluest
blood, and range in value from $500
to $4,000 though but few of
them reach the maximum value.
There are hundreds of bird hunters
in Tennessee who own their dogs,
and these private animals range in
value from $50 to $500. 1t is I'M
possible to buy bird pup in Ten
nessee, of the commOnest origin,
for less than $50, and the stud
kennels are far in advance of this.

1t is very hard to stand idly by
and see our dear ones suffer while
awaiting the arrival of the doctor.
An Albany On. " dairyman called
at a drug store there for doctor to
come and see his child, then very
sick with Group. Not finding the
doctor in, he left word for him to
come at once on his return. He al
so bought bottle of Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy, which he hoped
would give some relief until the
doctor should arrive. In few
hours he returned, saying the doctor
need not come, as the child was
much better. The druggist, Mr..
Otto Scholz, says the family has
since recommended Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy to thier neighbors
and friends until he has a constant
demand for it from that part of the
country. For sale by w. j. Cox,
