Twelfth Round.
New York, March 25!-Frank Erne OF
Buffalo successfully defended his title
to the lightweight championship or
the world against Joe Cans, colored,
Of Baltimore, before the Broadway
Athletic club last night. Erne did most
Of the heavy fighting, displaying bet
ter judgment and more skill than his
opponent. Cans received his punish
ment gamcly until the twelfth round,
when his left eye was started from the
socket by a terrible blow from the
Buffalo hoy. Cans was helpless and

THE HAND THAT HOLDS THE PENCIL.
by VI. {. Brown, White Lake Wave.D

We read Of mighty powers
That are felt for right or wrong;
We have had them kept before our
minds
In poem, prose and song.
There's the hand that rocks the era
de"
And the hand that writes the dun
There's the man before the public"
And the man behind the gum"
There's the boy that minds his
mother"
And the Jack that takes the pot
While the hand that Yields the slip
per"
Seldom fails to touch the spot.
Strong and potent are the forces
That against our lives are hurled;
But the hand that holds the pencil
Is the hand that prods the world.
For this world Of men and women
Often needs a friendly jog;
There are some who dare not claim
their own
While others play the hog.
There are some who get sc "goody
good"
They never crack a smile;
While their neighbors ven their feel
ings?
In an overflow Of bile.
| There are strong who crowd the
weaker;
There are weak who flout the strong,
And a timely note Of warning
Helps the world to wag along.
Human nature needs a prOmpter,
AS the circling years are whirled;
And the hand that holds the pencil
Is the hand that prods the world.
Corporations get too risky,
Just TO snow they're in the swim;
Or some cranky politician
Thinks the world was made for him.
Sharpen up the trusty "Faber,"
Get it focused true and fine;
Let the dose be what is needed,
From a column to a line,
If you want to prick a bladder,
There Is nothing in the land
Like a nicely pointed pencil,
Guided by a steady hand;
! And the wicked deal less darkly,
Fewer crooked paths are trod,
AS they see the lifted pencil,
And in fancy feel its prod. g.. !.
Pencil pushers Of the nation,
In whose hands the weapon lies;
Ponder well the aim and object,
Ere the pointed arrow flies;
Dealing gently with the err.ng-
Still. denouncing all the wrong;
Ever just in condemnation,
And in virtue ever strong.
Let your shafts be keen, yet kindly,
Never venom-tipped o vile;
Seeking where a teardrop trembIes,
To replace it with a smile.
And while DER Jul smiling planet
Heavens azure is unfurled,
Let the hand that holds the pencil,
Be the hand that helps the world.
