Says | Inussent never hit
boy that's littler'n me,
Cause 1t
Amt right, you see.
50, when ] went to school one day
And got a-playin marbles with
A little boy named Charley Smith
And winned all his away,
lie up with all his might
And hit me right
Square on the eye
And made me cry,
And then,
Almost before ! thought,
j nearly hit him back agen.
II It wouldn't been for what
My pa he sed
i bet I'd smashed his headi
And then, one other day,
When Willie james
6nuck up and took my knife away
And called me names
And sed I'd never get ii back,
up and give him a crack
with my fist right
On the mouth--with all my might
Cause he amt llttler'n me.
You see.
nut ms pa never tod him not
To hit littler boys'n him, | s'pose,
And 30 lrst thing ! knew got
Struck on the nose
At first thought fell
Way down a deep, deep well
Or tumbled from roof somewhere
Higher'n emmy In this here town
And went a'tumbullen down.
Down through the air,
Aud 1t was twenty hundred million times
more worser'n when
That little Smith boy he
Hit me. and then.
At last, got swake agen,
And the bleed was runnin down all over
me,
And couldn't hardly breathe ner see
Nor ennythingi And then wished I'd die,
so they'd put him In Jail. and my
Pa he'd be sorry cause he told
Me that about not fghtin boys az old
As mel And ma she cried
When went home and drew
Me close up to her side,
And cried tool
And then one other day .t,.
When me
And Eddie sprisss wero fire department hs
Wouldn't play.
He's the horse'n I
Was drivin. 30
First thing you know
We got to hghtinl Myi

And he's iittler'n me, too.
And hit

Denver Ed. Martin. People hope to
draw some kind of line on Rubin.
Thursday morning Gus will leave for
Indianapolias, where he has a weeks
engagement mt the Peoples theater.
ANOTHER OFFER.
w. j. Berkowitz, president of the
Kansas city Manufacturers club, mt
meeting of the Cincinnati Manufac.
turers' club Tuesday night made an
offer of $4,000 TO the Saengerfest
committee as II bonus il it will give
up the Jeffries-Ruhln fight to Kan
sas city, provided assurances are
given that all the people would go to
Cincinnati to see the contest would
go to Kansas City.
LOOKS LIKE BROAD.
1t is stated that If Terry McGovern
cannot make satisfactory terms with
Frank Erne for Il bout in San Fran.
cisco, it is probable that he will take
on kid" Broad for twenty five
round bout in that city. The San
Francisco Athletic club has practically
offered a $1,000 purse for McGovern
to fight u good featherweight Of his
own choosing, and Broad is the only
man in that class that wants to go
with the little champion. Negotia-
tions are pending now between Joe
Macias, Rroad's manager, Sam Harris,
and the San Francisco club.
WILL MEET MAHAR.
Tom Sharkey does not intend to re-
main idle until he gets an opportunity
to battle for the championship. The
sailor, who is now at Hot Springs,
where he went to train for his go with
kid" Mccoy. which has been de-
cared Off, has wired his manager,
Barney Reich, to match him against
any other good heavyweight available.
Manager Jim Kennedy, of the Twen-
tleth Century club, of San Francisco,
called on Mr.. Reich and suggested that
some good man take McCoy's place.
Reich told Kennedy that Sharkey was
anxious 10 get on a match or two be-
fore he NETS .Teffries ana would sign
cure a worthy opponent Kennedy has
the matter under consideration, and
will try to get Peter Mahar to meet
Sharkey IN San Francisco next month.
There was talk of a meeting between
Sharkey and Mahar before Mccoy
came to the front, and now that the
kid" has withdrawn there Is reason
to believe that the two will be
matched.
MADE GOOD SCORES.
"Doc" Brownell of the Grands was
high man IN Wednesday nights con
test with the SUBMITS for the city
championship. He reached and passed
the 300 mark twice and averaged 194
pins for three games. Grands scored
256S pins In the series to 1907 for the
Summit team. The Grands won the
first two games aud lost the third.
Niehus bowled 2o2 Plus in the last
game. The scores follow.

REPUBLICANS pENoUNcE SHIP SUB
SlDY BILL.

Senator Hanna seems to be having
more than his hands full in his attempt
to round up the Republican papers Of
the country in favor of his ship sub
sidy bill. The following quotations
from important Republican papers in
dicate the way his overtures are re-
ceived:
THE PEOPLE OPPOSED TO SUBSIDIES
"Not only is there no popular demand
for a subsidy measure, but there is
no reason to believe that it would
benefit any person outside of those
engaged in building and running ships,
and of these classes 1t would benefit
only those who least need 1.-THE large
builders and ocean liners and not small
ones. -
congressman must not mistake the
atmosphere of Washington for that of
the country at large or the clamor of
few ship builders and owners and
their lobby for the voice of the people.
Let Republican members go back to
the platform of 1896, which demanded
the upbuildlng Of our merchant ma
rine and carrying trade by other
methods than a money subsidy."-In-
dianapolis Journal

GE MS in VERSE.
Tho True Ownership.

He owns the most Of earth
Who sees its beauty clearest in his day;
Not him who buys for paltry moneys worth
little soil, little brick and clay,
And bounds his vision with The narrow view
OF personal possession. Full we'll,
And with as sane pride, our boasts are due
For the grave space where all at last must dwell
But the wise soul that knows
The fairness Of the world that rests content
With pictures whore the gold OF sunrise glows
Or those Of sunset and the twilight blent,
That loves the sen and land the arching sky.
Each great and little thing the good God uads
This world is his, too wide for gold to buy;
Its price but IN the souls uplifting paid

In replacing the old Pullman cquipnien.
on the Atlantic system of the southern
Pacific with modern cars just out or the
Pullman shops the officials of the rail-
road company signify that the expert
ment Of tine company 10 control, in whole
or in part, the sleepers operated over its
lines has been abandoned. III also means
that this Is to be attributed chiefly to the
fact that the method was not a success
circumstances and conditions, as well as
cape renee, nave deHo Us lraaed una. ii was
useless to continue the arrangement.
The railroad company was not able, ow-
ing TO lack OF proper equipment Of its
shops, to properly care Hor sleeping cars
ana keep them in hrst-class condition
Pullman cars are pract lcally rebuilt one 9
In seven years. Those now dis ard4t
On the Southern Pacific had been i'm serv-
ice, in some instances, for nearly pwice
that period without extensive improve
ments being made.
s7tatisthls sh5w That the average num-
Der of passengers per sleeping car car
rled has year Was only seven. In the
face of this fact DIT is easy TO under
stand why the Pullman company has need
OF other sources of revenue beside it's
Cf argos Tor pertns, seats and buffet Serv-
ice At the same time at can conduct
the business upon a basis more econoCn-
icll and more profitable than the rail-
road companies and the latter have
found 1T better ,oo permit this and also to
pay the sleeplng car company for oper-
auing the service.
Experience has proved too, that the
travelling public is better siFi led, SO
that in such cases. the bulk of the bust
ness has gone to a line having Pullman
cars in preference TO competitor hand
ling tits own cars.
At present five of the new sleepers have
been placed in service on THE Southern
Pacific and others are being built. The
quintette mentioned are models In con-
structicn, finish AMI appointments. and
are all named after Texas rivers.
Another innovation on the Atlantic
system is the introduction of chair cars,
which are considered by competent judges
10 be a profitable investment for any
road. They attract traffic and save space.
because a passenger is not likely to oc-
cupy more than one chair at a time.
Fifteen of these cars have been ordered
by tine Southern Pacific and -four are now
/ being run between New Orleans and
Texas points.
