His Money.

Many Of our well-known millionaires

their pockets, and perhaps none car

Henry Clews, says the New York Post.
Not long ago he and Mrs. Clews dined
at a place where the banker-brol<er-
author was unknown, and where the
rule was strictly cash down. Knowing
hat his good wife generally had suffi-
cent money in her purse to defray any
ordinary expense, he whispered when
the finger bowls were brought: "Mv
dear, viii you lend me enough money

Washington, D. c., Jan. S0.-A peti-
tion from numerous veterans OF the war

homes at Baxter Springs, Kan, was
forwarded to congress by the secretary
of war today, asking that the govern

tionaI cemetery now supported py the
government" near the place
Accompanying the petition is report
from the secretary of war, in which he
says that there is no national ceme-
terry" near the town in question, but
there is a lot in which are buried sOuse
thing like 100 victims of one of Guam
trelIs raids The lot is kept up by the
government at an expense of only SS6
per annum. The report states that the
proposed improvement would be simply
one of the streets of the town and the
county road leading to the cemetery in
which the lot is located, and hence the
department is forced to report aaginst
any legislation being enacted such as is
asked by the petitioners.

This big boiIermaSer is certainly a
dangerous fellow His great natural
strength and endurance make him ore
out Of a hundred. Say, he's q wonder
foy zticl<inar Al the game and taking tie
''gam." Tom Sharkey proved that
Now, ] don't think that Jefries can
box any more than any one else uoeS-
That is not his game. The only TRICK TRICK
Of the ring that Jeffries knows, as .1al
as can see, is to keep his BODY out OF
danger A fellow would have TO nave 4
reach like giraffe to wallop hlrn IN tne
stomach. Sharlkey dug away at MS
s.bread basket hard enough to put an
army mule out of commission without
even putting a dent on Jeffries-
Jeffries' crouching position won MS
battles with Fitzsimmons and SharkeV,
two body fighters. Corbett hit him IN
the face whenever he wanted to; but,
then, Corbett's blows could not huft
him.
When Rubin, who fights for the head,
hits him in the face, it's going TO jar
him up bit
If Rubin reaches Jeffries' face as
often as Corbett did. he'll knock his
block of. So it looks as If Jenr1es
famous crouch won't be of much use
to him in this battle He had bette
stand up and look out for his head =
bit. If he does not we may have a new
just put a pin in that tip. Mr.. JEFF
RUHLIN's CHANCES.
And now for you. Gus Rubin
Billy Madden has cut out tough deal
for you this trip. You have got to do
some tall Scrapplng or get out and walk
/ suppose you think you've got a good
chance to lick jeff, don't you? Well
maybe you have. Then, again-but nev-
er mind; Wen wait and see. I think #
you beat Jeffries you'll do it with your
left hand. In fact, from what have
seen of your fighting, that is the only
way you have a chance to lick hins-
Possibly that scissors punch" of yours
is going to work wonders But don
think much of those fancy blows Good
straight punching, right from the should
er and as hard as you can send them in
is what cashes the tickets.
Rubin is an awfully nervous fighter.
He nearly has Dutch fit before fight
Isn't that right, Gus?
But he gets over it when he warns up
If he keeps away from JeffrieS aH0
looks out for that left swing he's got a
chance, and a good one. Rubin IS fast
on his feet for a big man, much faster
than Jeffries, and should hit the cham
pion twice to his once
Outside Of Ruhlin's left hand / don't
regard him as a very dangerous man.
There is one thing to say in his favor
that no one can deny. He is as game
as a bantam Just ask Fitzsimmons if
you don't believe me.
Rubin will so in and mix up with
any of them, but / think he lacks ex-
perience- He got badly ratified when he
was doing the can-can to the music OF
Fitzsimmons' sledge-hammer blows al
Jim Kennedy's club last summer. If he
keeps his head this time he may dish
