Oid world domestics make the best
possible servants because they work
like machines, never forgetting an or
der and doing exactly as they are told
without nresuming to think for them
selves. But once in awhile this literal
adherence to duty produces some awk-
ward results. An American woman
living i'm India, with native servants,
once told her butler to see that there
was always Il napkin at the bottom Of
the fruit dish. cake basket. etc. when
these were brought TO the table. The
napkin was thereafter always seen in
its place. But one day turc"n Of
vegetable soup was served. and the
hostess began to WELD the long, old
fashioned silver ladle about in it. Some
thing very like Il fringcd rag made its
appearance in the first platcful. The

CHAMPION BANTAM MATCH.
The Best Neil Could Do With Regar
 Was to Make a Draw.

los Angeles. California. Oct 16- Frankie Neil of San Francisco, cham pion bantam weight pugihT. and Johnny Began. of Brooklyn. fought twenty rounds to a draw tonight at Hazards Pavilion. It was one of the fastest fights eyer witnessed here. Both men were willing to mix it at ali times and the result was that the referee had plenty of work to do in going between them.
 Neil forced the pace at most stages, endeavoring to land his left rip ping uppercut. but only once did it land fair and flush. It put Began down and he took the count to get the rest. He got up immediately and put Neil down with a terrific left on the jaw. Regan's best blow was right uppercut and he repeatedly landed it on Neil's face and body. Neil started every round with rush and several times carried Began through the ropes. But each time he good naturedly as sisted the Brooklyn lad to his feet.
 After the fourteenth round Neil fought desperately and at times wildly ir his efforts to @et in a knockout punch. but Began was too clever to be caught mapping. Began did the better foot work and was the better boxer at long range.
 Neil showed up better at close range milling.

NO FRUITS IN SIGHT
But All Are Hopeful the Civic Federa-

Chicago, Oct. 16.-Although questions in dispute and of great interest to the wage earner and the employer, such as the ''open shop methods of paying wages. piece work and bonus, came up before the conference of the National Civic Federation today, no action has yet been decided upon that will improve the relations of the prin- cipals in the controversy.
 However it is not considered inn pl obable that before the session is brought to a close some action toward bringing labor and capital together may ba taken. A number of the speakers at the session today were favorable to this, saying the occasion vas opportune.
 Labor men predominated in the pro- cceaings and at one time, when the dis cuss.oa was general, several in the audience arose and talked on questions which at times tended toward social ism.
 Samuel Con pers the presiding off, cer. however, checked the debate and compelled the speakers to limit the Gi.5Cssion to the topics at issue.
