Harry Forbes Retains Title.

Little Harry Forbes defended his
title of bantam weight champion with
comparative ease by defeating Tom
my Feltz of Brooklyn at Chicago last
week, AS the bout was limited to
six rounds it seemed to be a fore
gone conclusion that Forbes would
have little trouble in holding Feltz
down. The latter is sturdy, deter
mined fighter, but shows to far better
advantage in long than in short dis
tance battles. The black-haired Chi
cagoan's rapid left-hand jabs worried
Feltz beyond measure and the latter's g
rushing tactics availed but little
against Forbes clever defense.

Not~tf~ Immediate Demand.

A clergyman in a town in the coal
regions where municipal improve
ments were under way stumbled one
misty night into a deep hole dug to
make a connection of sewer-pipe. The
wet, slippery earth made climbing out
impossible; so, he cried Justify for
help. A Celt who was passing heard
the yells, crossed to the hole, and in
quired as to the trouble. The minister
explained and told who he was.

might we'll supplement this saying
with the remark that no Indian vice
roy while keeping up this state mas

For thirty years no Indian, not

Lord Curzon has changed all this.
He has taken the people into his con-

the central and western country was
in the grip of famine and plague the
people were immensely pleased to
find Lord Curzon in their midst, not
encased in official splendor. but just
