Death is hating at the nations door,.
Keep silent, all the land;
Hush the turmoil of the sea;
Behold the lifted hand;
Eastland, westland, north and SOUTH,
Harken and stand!
Death is hating at the nations door,
A great one lies at rest;
Dumb is the tongue in his mouth,
Stilled the heart in his breast;
His soul fares forth in the night
On it's last mysterious quest.
Death is hating at the nations door,
Hark, how the sound appalls;
Dire it reverberates through
Huts and HI mesteads and halls;
Over the sunshine of our land
A pail of shadow falls.
Death is hating at the nations door,
Peace, while the shade is high;
Stifle the jangling tongues,
Let critics turn to sigh;
His towering frame is turned to dust,
His laurels faded lie.
Death is hating at the nations door,
The end has come at last;
Fame sounds one transient blast
Over the pulseless dead,
The sullen cl0ds fall on his clay
And life and loye are past.

A Cat AZ Years Old.

Herr Pohl, president of the German So
ciety for the protection of cats, has lust
published the results of his investigation in
regard to the age which it is possible for
these animals to attain.
Cats, he says, are like human beings in
one respect. The more peaceful and better
regulated their life is, the longer they are
likely to live.
AS proof, he points out that a favorite
cat in the royal castle of Nymphenburg has
lived to be AZ years old, and consequently
may fairly claim to be the dean of cats in
Germany.
That this remarkable animal has still
some youth in her is evident from the fact
that she gave birth to kitten two wears
ago. Moreover, the kitten thrived wonder
fully and attracted much attention when it
was exhibited at the exposition in Breslau.

had scored on them in the elevn previous
games.
The A. c. tasAhe proud record now, OF
being with Nebraska, the only team of

is probably no team that has played as

out of six their first downs. One tenn
did 1t twice and the other six times.
This record was not accomplished by
means of trick plays, or by resorting to

of football with a clear recognition that

unable to help himself, he was forced ten
yards by reinforcement Of his team mates.

DOESN'T WANT THE MONEY
Jimmie Britt, the Conqueror Of ,
Frank Erne, Fights for Love
of Excitement.

Jimmy Britt, the California lightweight.
who knocked out Frank Erne last week,
has had career almost as meteoric as
that Of Terry McGovern. True, Britt's
light still illum1nes the pugilistic heavens,
while that Of the terrible Terry. has been
obscured by the tail of comet, but other
wise the parallel holds. A few months
ago Britt was practically an unknown He
met Tim Heggerty, the Australian cham
pion, and his stock advanced a few points
hTen he beat Kid Lavigne to- pulp, and
after that it was fitting that he should
take on that other good has been, Erne.
Having disposed Of the Buffalo boy Britt
is quoted nearly at par, and is diretcly in
line for the championship in his class
AS long as Joe Cans is champion, how
ever, it is not likely that Britt will seek to
wrest the title from him. Mr.. Britt has
social position In San Francisco. He
fights not for the money,-although it is
not recorded that he ever passed up his
end or the purse-but because he likes to
plaster the proboscis of his fellow man
around behind the ear. - Before he went
into the prize ring, Britt used to wander
about the streets of San Francisco, wait
ing Tor some one to tread on the tail of
MS coat. No one ever set foot on the gar
ment twice, for Jimmie likes a rough and
| tumble better than he does straight Mar
quis Of Queensberry argument A good
rough and tumble. nothing barred. is his
dream Of bliss. He only entered the ring
because all the amateurs In Frisco got
next to him. and politely declined to be
drawn into any physical arguments.
But to return to our muttons, Britt f1a 3
a social position to maintain in San Fran
cisco. No longer would he be allowed to
lead the cotillion or figure in swell box
parties If he mixed 1t up with a gentleman
of color. This probably Is good news for
Cans.
And Erne says he has got enough. He
will quit the ring and go into the whole
sale wine business with his father in
Buffalo.
Erne declares that fighting Is the hard
| est kind Of work.
"At the BEST he said, zone only re-
ceives hard knocks. It Is a sad realiza
| ton to think. that, after twelve years in
| the ring, being successful in all but FIVE

Young Corbett Says Football Has
Fight Game Beat When It
Comes to Mixes. 80. =

Z Young Corbett' went out to see
Thanksgiving Days football game between
Boulder and the Denver Athletic club at
Denver, and has given his account Of the
affair: 80

the hardest contests ever pulled off In

my game beat to death when it comes to
mixes. Ic4 -. ,-'. s..
Round boulder won the top, and got
the choice Of corners and led a straight
punch by landing the ball well down in
d. A. G. territory. Here D. A. G. got
possession OF the pigskin and started to
mix things with close mitigating. D..
This seemed to be Boulder's style Of
game too. and the collegians countered
with hot dives, quite little below the
belt. The referee didn't seem to notice
this, however, and finally Denver spared
for wind and booted the ball well down
the field. r. ,..,.
AT this both teams made pretty clean
break, but each side managed to land a
few with the free hand, and soon the
Boulderites started the mixing game again
and the way they swung would give the
best Of us the weak heart If we thought
we had to get into the ring with such a
mott-swinging layout. r.
Finally Boulder got the ball outside the
ropes and the referee sounded the gong
and time was called for the first round.
Boulder had the better of this both in
rushing and footwork.
Round 2-Denver comes rapidly from
its corner, a kick, a rush, a mix and away
they are again. The littlest man in the
team grabbed the ball and the whole
| bunch handed him a. solar plexus apiece
and then stacked up on him.
The referee never counts a one and the
little man comes up smiling. Denver is
having the best Of it and Boulder seems a
little groggy.
