The MAN OF SCIENCE
And Of BraWh Talks on the Well Known
Fighters Of the Day.

While in the city with his show
troupe, "The Man from the West" Co.,
James j. Jeffries. heavy weight cham
pion of, the world. gave the Leader an
interview and talked freely in regard
to present men in the ring, and his own
conduct in important battles. No one
can meet the champion fighter without
/ being impressed with his wonderful
physical power and almost perfect
! physique. Broad of shoulder, brawny
of limb, deep of chest all these re-
| quisites of man in the ring are Jas.

he is, cool, calculating and crafty, a

to the ring with 207 pounds of solid
muscle avoirdupois. He does not train
while on the road nor does he take
much exercise but he is nevertheless
careful Of. the powerful frame which
has won him reputation and money.
When asked as to the probable out
come of the fight with Rubin in Gin
cinnati February 18th, Jeffries said:
II feel certain could have beaten him.
Gus is clever man and hard hitter
but | believe l could have whipped

losing card when he went up against
me. He is the cleverest man in the
world with the gloves, but he is afraid
of punishment and will not take any
chances. He ran from me when /

to me two-thirds of the time"
Jeffries said that he thought Fitz-
simmons would come out again were it
not for him. He also thought that

arrangement but said that "Fitz" did
not do this but always wanted a show

Guessing q Cliffs Height.

Shortly after making the turn to the
east and in the depths Of beautifully
terraced canyon along the Rio Grande,
writes Robert T. Hill in The Century,
we came upon a copiOus hot spring
running out of the bluff upon a low
bench, where it made large, clear pool
of water. The sight of this natural
bath of warm water was tempting to
tired and dirty men, and here we made
our first and only stop for recreation.
After lunch most of the party proceed
ed to the warm pool, and, stripping, we
literally soaked for hours in it's de-
Hghtful waters, stopping occasionally
to soap and scrub our linen. While
here the party INDUCED in guessing the
height of the inclosing cliffs. The air
was so clear in this country that one
always underestimate the magnitude
of the relief. None of our estimates
exceeded 500 feet. Seeing a good place
for the first time in all our course to
scale the canyon walls, climbed them
and measured the exact height, which
was 1850 feet. The view from the
summit was superb, revealing the pan

pediency of moving into his new quar-,
tiers without first breaking some of the
furniture to make things look just
right, had finally consented to try it
as it was, and if it was too good,
Stuart had arranged for the lease Of
the old army hall again.

long chase up into the hills, and Stuart
had insisted on his being on the plat

offer any remarks.

Andrew spoke briefly on the value Of
the building and its opportunities for
Christian service, dwelling on the fact
that it was not money that would make
the plan successful but live Christian

into the work that the hall was to

almost as popular with the men as be-

An Opportunity.

A number of years ago Adolf Wen
eel, the great German artist, always a
man of wonderful powers of obserya-
ton, consented to act as mentor for a
group of young artists, and, having
posed their model one morning, as
was his custom, he left them to their
work. The model, 1t seems, was new
to the profession and unequal to the
strain of remaining immovable in one
position, and so promptly tainted.
While the young men were making
futile attempts at resuscitation, one
of their number ran excitedly to the
masters studio, informed him what
had happened and asked what to do.

he knew that his use or money or
brains or property or whatever he pos
sessed was a use the account of which
he owed to God. He was fully persuad-
ed that his stewardship was a sacred
thing and very vital part of his Chris
tian faith, and he finally had a feeling
of great peace as he rested on the con-
victiOn that he had dedicated all pos
sessions to unselfish purposes for the
good of humanity as far as God gave
him strength and wisdom to work out
the details. The special ways and
means by which he was to dispense

building was thronged in all it's parts

evening Stuart had planned, with the
help of Andrew and Eric, to have some
exercises in the nature of dedicatory
services in the great hall. He had
gone down early, leaving Rhena with
Louise. who had been more restless
than usual that day. She had, as the
doctor thought she might, fingered on
