WE have received the Sixth Annual

No two human beings have ever
been born who were exactly alike.
Nature breaks her pattern at every
birth. The magic combination is
used but once. For this reason it is
very difficult for parent to direct
child as to what he should do in this
world. All he can. do is to watch
tendencies, and try to develop the
child in che direction of his greatest
aptitudes and ability. Think of
Shakespeare's father trying to keep
his son combing wool all his life, or of
Napoleon's father attempting to hold
his boy down to peasant life. General
Grants father never dreamed that
the man who. at forty, was unknown
outside of his little neighborhood, at
forty-two would be one of the great
est military heroes in the world.

When the peacocks arrived at the bay
Sharkey was far from being pleased.
He told his ,rainers 10 return the birds
TO the Cornishman at once. On second
thought however, he made up his mind to
keep them, thinking perhaps that he
would offend Bob IL he did not do so.
Well after Ruhlin licked him, Sharkey

were his Jonahs.
Jim Corbett is the most superstitious OF
tho bunch. He will not make a match un-
less his hair is properly combed and his
shoes are freshly shined. He always
carries a cane when signing the papers.
and IL you notice he Invariably carries a
cigar in his mouth. On the afternoon of
the contest Jim always plays cards with
his trainer.
His favorite game Is cosino. He will
play until he wins certain number of
games. He believes I'm horseshoes and al
ways has one above the door OF his sleep
ing apartment. He usually has number
OF msscots at his quarters such as stray
dogs, lucky stones. coins. etc.
When on the road no will never stop TO
look at a white horse. He is much
afraid of a cross-eyed person and will
travel out of his way TO avoid meeting
one Corbett always huns a tune while
swinging the Indian clubs and will not
converse while putting on his costume
preparatory to a bout.
He is also afraid OF No. 10. and looks
upon Friday as n very evil day. Joe
Walcott has weakness for the prov
erbial rabSit's foot. and IL never with
out one while training. Gus Rubin will
not arrange a match on Friday.
Tommy Ryan will not fight without a
small coin, which he wears in his belt.
Peter Maher believes in PRAYERS too and
never enters the ring unless he was said
them.
John T.. Sullivan is not superstitious. He
takes things just as they come. lie says
that IL a man Is going TO lose there is
nothing can save him. John, however, is
inclined to believe In palmistry
He says that many years ago he met an
old man while travelling around the coun-
try who read the palm OF his hand and
told him lot of things which have since
happened. But John does not think this
had anything 10 do with Corbett. He de-
clares that he was getting too old and
got licked as consequence.
