"YoUNG PETER JACKSON,
Boxing Instructor Reddy Gallagher
Forgot Sim TompIins' Name.


Young Peter Jackson the fighter,
has no further right to the name he
uses than usage and the sense of hui
NOR of a boxing instructor. To Reody
Gallagher, the boxing instructor Of the
Denver Athletic club, belongs the credit
of the name of Sim Thompkinse now
enjoys as a professional pugnist.
Sim got the name of Young Peter
Jackson in Denver in the year of '95, and
it came about in this way. He was box
ing amateurs in Colorado City, and soon
won for himself a reputation that ex-
tended all the way to Denver.
After beating all the boys around Col
orado City, Sim sighed for new worlds
to conquer, and he jOurneyed to Denver.
He introduced himself to Reddy Gala
cher, who was at that time pulling off
boxing shows, and he told the sturdy
Mr. Thompkins that he would give him
a match with Eugene Turner, and Sim
went away tickled to death, and i'm
mediately started to prepare himself for
the encounter. -..-S
That night Gallagher was besieged by
newspaper men, who wanted the names
Of the contestants for his coming enter
tainment. Gallagher started to hand out
the names Of the men who were to box,
and when he came to the Wind-up, he
could not remember the name of the boy
VINO was TO DOA Iurn6r. lie S a great
fighter said Gallagher, "but can't re-
member his name
He studied for a moment and then
told the reporters that he was a dead
ringer to Peter Jackson, only he was
not so large. II tell YOU he said,
you might call him Young Peter Jack
son." The next morning the papers
told of the great contest that was to
take place between Turner and Young
Peter Jackson, and Thompkins was one
of the first to see it. He Immediately
hunted up Gallagher.
Say, Mr.. Gallagher" demonstrated
Thompkins. 81 thought you were going
to give me that fight with Turner?'
''Wen, you are to fight him. said
Gallagher.
THE papers this morning said that
some fellow by the name of Jackson
was going 10 box with him." responded
Sim, and he was nearly heart-broken.
Gallagher had to explain to him then
that he could not remember his name.
and in his desperation he had given
him the name of Young Peter, Just to
satisfy the newspaper men,, and then
Sim felt better. He went back to his
training again, and when he got into the
ring he beat Turner quite handfiy. and
ever since Sim Thompkins has been
known in the ring as Young Peter Jack
son, and he has done the name credit TOO.
for today he is regarded as one Of the
best colored welterweights in America.

A missionary burning with COM
mendable zeal to introduce monoga-
nous ideals into the Jolo archipelago
started thither from Manila. He To-
Gated the Parang. With considerable
graciousness he began to make
friends among the people, and set
himself to learning the spoken lam
guage, which is an offshoot from the
Arabian with a Malayan admixture.
When he had applied himself for
nearly two years he felt that he was
ready to proclaim a message in their
native tongue, and through a Nakip,
a local officer, who understood a
little English, announcement was
made of the meeting to be held. 1t
was well attended. The missionary
spoke f~ervently for nearly an hour
in what he believed to be the natives
own patois. When he had concluded
the Nakip approached and thanked
him brokenly, but added that it was
a waste of time to address his peo-
pie in English. Especially cannot
the Joloians understand when you
use such big words in English. /,

scholar, could not know your mean

DEAR TRAVELLING IN CUBA.
The Average Rate Il seven Cents .
Mile fer First-Class Transport
tation, and small Comfort.

Cuba has 124 railways, with more
than 1000 miles Of track for the lot,
yet travelling in Cuba is not cheap.
There are lines which charge passen-
gers IL cents a mile.
The average rate is about seven
cents for first-class passengers and
five cents for se~cond-class, and travel
on some of the lines means many hours
Of miserable jolting over a wretched
roadbed. Freight rates are as exorbi-
tant as passenger rates. So detri-
mental is the railroad extortion to the
welfare of the country, in fact, that a
modification of rates by military order
was talked of, but the legality of the
step was doubtful, says a recent re-
port.
The entire railroad system of the
island is valued at $40, 0 1000. But Of
the 124 miles only II are public lines
in the generally accepted sense.
The rest are private roads, built for
the transportation of sugar cane to
the grinding mills. 1t is a curious fact
that five Of the principal lines, repre-
senting nine-elevenths of the public
roads, are controlled by British capt.
talists.
Cuba had a railroad 43 miles long
between Havana and Guines, which
began to run only a few years after
the first American line was opened, but
the development of ~railroadipg under
Spanish rule was on a very different
scale. Some people might not call il
development at all.
But all that has changed under
American occupation. Anew line nov
in process of construction by Sir viii
liam Van Horne and his associates o
the Cuban Central railway, connecting
at Santa Clara with the line from Ha
vana to Cienfuegos, will revolutionizl
the islands railroad system, open com
munication with Nipe, the best harbo
on the whole Cuban coast line, and pre-
pare for profitable cultivation an are
estimated at 100000 900 acres, or abou
one-third of the total area of the is
