Another Postponement Now.

Now comes the news from San Fran
cisco that the fight between Jeffries and
Rubin may be postponed for some time.
What again? They have done nothing
but postpone the battle from time to
time since March. and they finally agreed
to sign articles, only after they had about
gone the limit. There was no chance for
sQuabbling and pickering, as the public
would not stand for 1t, so the big fell
lows had nothing to do but get together.
But that was not the end. for now comes
a quarrel over the percentage of the gate

SO much of the coin that will come in

Harry Monohan, the we'll known sport
exponent and referee of fistic events.
We're his guests at his place in East Mer-

for three hours for the event and were
treated to a surprise, that was to ny

All were good natured, however at the

That George Dixon, the former feather

shown in the fact that he is to take on
Abe Attell of Denver tomorrow night

Hindrances 20 Success.

Many man with great brain power

with. good prospects has failed to attain
great success because of little idiosyn-
crasies, peculiarities Of speech or man
ner, things not in themselves vicious or
wrong, but which render him disagree
able or unacceptable to those who have
dealings with him.
If 1t were possible for us to write of
all the little things which have cut
down the average of our success and
to calculate just how much each has
contributed to the whole, it would be
most helpful.
For example, one young mans adj
vancement has been cut down % per
cent by bad temper, a surly, disagree
able dispositions; another's by careless
ness in dress, an unkempt or slovenly
appearance, and yet another's by a
sharp tongue Or an unkind habit of
criticising.
Many brilliant and capable stenog
rapher has failed to advance because
she had disagreeable habits that annoy
ed her employer, who, while he recog-
nized her ability, preferred less able
agreeable qualities. The lack of amia-
bility has stood in the way of advance
ment of many an employee who Won
