nc happy dream. There are always .
let of little petty complications and de-
tails arising which give the. stakeholder
more or LESS trouble: besides, l never
made a cent out of holding stakes or bets
in my life. although I've been held re-
sponsible for millions of dollars. Sup
pose some of the money deposited with
me was lost or stolen, why. l have
to make good. What protection have l
got in return? None whatever. Banks
have failed sometimes to pay but I have
been fortunate enough to a always
been able to pay back the full amount
intrusted to my keeping for the past 30
years or more. and l hope to finish my
career as a stakeholder in the same up
right manner. although I'm not anxious
at any time to hold other peoples money;
for indeed, it's a thankless job at the
best.

and, small as he was, he soon became an
able assistant ''cow-puncher."
Just as Thorpe was growing tired OF
his hard riding life and was thinking Sc
riously of running away n Joining a
circus. A. C. Tucker, a Kansas horseman,
drifted along. He had a well-bred mare
with him which he called Belle K. Not

he engaged Charley to look after her and
ride her around in the fairs and bushes.
For three successive seasons the names
Of Belle K. and Thorps were household
words in Nebraska. Since h Thorpe
has been very busy riding for prominent
owners without a seasons rest.

HARD WORK.
Some I hold, but more often I refuse
them, for the position of stakeholder is
not the happiest one in the world. Some
chaps will often give you long argu-
ments and dispute results, especially if
they are not in the habit of betting. I've
had considerable trouble in my time with
the novice bettor, who does not properly
understand the anne but never a law
suit or any wrangle that could not be
settled by a commonW-sense eXplana-
ton. These election bettors are a wild,
mixed crowd, and will give a stakeholder
more bother than the thoroughbred sport
who bets on a fight or a horse race.
OF course you'll meet some dead game
betting men among those outside of the
sporting circles, but they are few and far

Tn a pretty god judge Of a mans con-
dition, and l can truthfu1ly say that Cor
bett viii be in the best sort of shape
when he steps into the ring with Jeffries.
If he should not win it will not be be-
cause he is a has been" but because
Jeffries is the wonder of the age.
Corbett has certainly not gone back.
In fact, with the one exception that he
has not grown any younger, s think he
is just as good as he ever was. His clev-
n is ust as marked as in the days
Of old His hitting powers have not di-
minished, and he is as fast on his feet
az ever And right here I want to put in
a word about COrbett's ability to hit.
Any man who thinks there is no steam
behind his blows should go up against
the game which I tackle every day. /
think they would oon change their
minds.
OF course he is not a puncher like some
of our big fellows, but he can send them
in pretty stiff at that. He is so far SUI
perior to Jeffries in point of cleverness
that the boiler-maker will not be able to
get to close work. Just as long as Cor
EFT keeps him at sparring distance Jeff
Won't have a chance.
l ont mean by this that Corbett can
not mix it up. On the contrary, he is
just as much at home at this game s
he is at ~long-range fighting. His battle
with Fitzsimmons at Carson City bears
testimony to this. There wasn't a mix
up there that Jim didn't have the best
of it. He made Fitz look like a two-cent
piece in the hote exchanges with took

YOUNG WOMAN.

New oYrk World: Miss Justine Inger-
soil, daughter of Ex-Governor Charles r.
Ingersoll, has been asked by Mrs. Hins-
dale, of New Rochelle, to start a cat and
monkey inirmary. Miss Ingersoil is
considering plans for such an institution.
and said:

fered to me her home in which to estab-
lish an institution for sick cats and
monkeys. But if I should treat pets fOh

keys is a kin of Salvation Army work.
This cat I hold in my arms is a costly
Angora from Mrs. Hinsdale's collection.
He was coughing his very life away on
a cat farm in Maine, where she took him.
I have treated and cured him. Milk made
him sick.
How do I treat cats and monkeys?
Why, by homeopathy altogether. I re-
form their diets. People are so stupid!
They feed cats IN milk. That is awful
just cruel-for it fills their systems
with impurities. I know that, for I've
had autopsis performed on SO many OF
them.
by the way, do o know that there
ought to be created in New York a senti-
ment strong enough against the politl-
clans in charge Of the Central Park Zoo
to remove them? They give the monkeys
stale. mouldy bread and milk. Poison
rank poison! They ought to feed them
and flesh and samp or coarse corn. Fresh
fish, not market fish, is good for cats. I
feed my cats and monkeys altogether ON
that. A monkey in Central Park lives
one season. He could live Is.
my correspondence Is voluminous.
Ever so many old ladies write asking me
to prescribe for or to take as patients
their pet cats.
What will the hospital be like? Well.

If CORBETT AND JEFFRIES MEET.
(By Gus Ruhlin.)

There is a big surprise in store for the
pugilistic world if Corbett n Jeffries
eyer meet. Jim Corbett is going to fur
nish it. And big Jim ~effries, our heavy
weight champion is going to have the
lions share of the surprise party. Jeh,
1 think. believes he is going to have
something of a walkover with Corbett.
jeff had better wake up. If he doesn't.
Corbett will certainly bring him to on
the night Of the fight with a terrible
shock.
When Jeffries and Corbett were first
matched I was inclined to think that the
ex-champion was going up against a
pretty stiff game. Now, I have changed
my mind. I'm helping Corbett train for
this fight. and I know whereof I speak.
He is certainly 100 per cent better than
I thought he was. And that better comes
very near being the real thing.

Of
A STAKEHOLDER
by AL s1nith.)

To say thai I've held in stakes and
bets over So. 900, 900 would be no agger
alton. That's a big pile of money to
handle in small amount and not have
a cent wrong, but it's a fact neverthe-
less.
I could not begin to remember all the
big stakes I've held in championship and
other important matches during the past
30 years. 1t would take too much time
and space.
OF course, the majority of the bets and
stakes I've held have been strictly on the
quiet. It's only the big fight stakes that
reach the ears of the public through the
press.
Thousands and thousands of dollars
have been placed in my hands by men
who We're mere strangers to me-money
from all parts of the country has been
sent in by express, certified checks and
other ways for me to hold, and many
times I have positively refused to be the
stakeholder, because in some cases the
senders We're such absolute strangers.
Those who come to me personally gen.
orally have an introduction, or are guar
anteed all right by some responsible
friend. To accept money from absolute
strangers is rather a risky business.

In the old days I've stood around the
ring sides on the turf where men would

first knock-down. the number of rounds
and the finish. I've often taken the most
terrible chances with a rough crowd OF
crooks and thugs. who followed the old
bare-knuckle fights for the purpose OF
robbery. but with all the money that I've
held on these London rule battlefields I've
never had a dollar go astray. i

the respectable sporting men at the ring

hard mobs. but no man can say they did
not get every cent they won, no matter
how tough the mob was. In those days
