Imputation of Unfairness.
While Rubin will make no absolute
charge of Jeffries having committed a
foul he intimates that he was unfairly
handled and injured as a result. Rub
lin received the support of his seconds
in this stand. who say that his was a
hopeless case after the second round.
When seen in his dressing room after
the fight Champion Teffries said: 81

victory and Ruhlin's amazing defeat.
Rubin was inaccurate and in
poor wind. and | cannot say that he
even had the courage and force that

FINE SHOW.
Display Of Fancy Fowls
and BIooded Dogs.
Large Crowds Attended Exhibition OF
Akron Poultry Club.

Wednesday was busy day at the
exhibition of the Akron Pet Stock
and Pounltry club. During the day
a large number of people inspected
the fancy stock in the Harter block.
It Is the best show of the kind ever
given in this section of the country.
The judges have commenced scoring
the birds on exhibition and 1t will
take them the balance of the week to
complete the work. Four floors are
filed with the exhibits. On the fourth
floor are the kennels of blooded dogs.
The show Is fine one.
Besides dogs and chickens there
are Belgian and German hares, pig
cons, pheasants, geese and ducks.
The Akron show is said to be far
ahead of the one in Cleveland which
was given for the express purpose Of
injuring the local exhibition.

Closeness Personifi ed.

There's good story told on a young
fellow here noted for his closeness. He
went to spend the night with friend.
During the entire night he betrayed
much restlessness, which kept the host
wide awake, and finally the slumberer
betrayed signs Of violent emotion.
Hes going to have nightmare" said
the friend, "but he always grumbles SO
when you wake him up that I hate to
disturb him" He waited awhile lon
ger, sitting up in bed staring on the
miserable sleeper aud finally, becom-
ing alarmed, he reused him. He sprang
up in bed glared wildly around and
said: "Where am I? l don't see the
storm"
"Why, here In my ROOM" said the
host soothingly. "You remember you
staid all night with me? l beg your
pardon for waking you up. but you car
ried on so | had to-"
BEG your pardon" gasped the guest.
81 shall never be grateful enough to
you. | dreamed l was out with Miss
my shoes were new, and I was Just
ordering coupe for two when you
reused me. Old boy. you have saved
me dollar"
And the host says he was actually
afraid to go to sleep again that night
for fear the coupe would come.--Louis-
