When Easy Streets In sloht.

The toughest Kind OF luck,
When o,S ey,ry blooming scheme you
Was sure to run a-muck-
And then when things seemed at their
worst
There shone ray OF light
That sent you tumbling over hopes
OF Easy Street IN sight?
Hast ever seen your bills pile up
And grow from day to day.
Til ev'ry ounce of sense you had
You knew was giving way
When plans zigzagged on bias lines,
Though trying with your might
To straighten them-when, lol some boon
Showed Easy Street In sight?
There's many who'll appreciate
The humor grim OF luck
That goes against you dcuced hard,
Despite your nerve and pluck
When ev'ry effort falls as Hat
As wine drawn over night
And then successes, crowd on crowd,
Show Easy street In sight.
You wonder IL II can be true.
And fear some devils Joke
Then cash up all the things you'll want
When you're TO longer broke
And start ut once to spend the roll,
Your wants In lists you write,
You'll have a durn'd good time, by Jove
when Easy Streets In sight.

COUNTRY OF THE cossAcKs.
District from Which Russia Draws
Her Hardest Soldiers.

Tobolsk. where the Siberian Cossack
is reared, is a well watered region,
with 1000 lakes, many of them of con
siderable Size Many of the inhabi-
tants had their origin in the utiliza'
ton of the territory as a penal colony
for European Russia. The people are
still very primitive, sheep being the
unit of exchange in their barter sys-
tenn. Cattle breeding is extensively
adopted and 1t is from this source that
the Russian army draws most of its
horses. These animals are small and
hardy, not particular about food and
capable of enduring extreme heat and
cold; but the load they can take even
on level road is only about 900
pounds. The preparatory class of the
Cossacks comprises lads from the age
of Is, who undergo three years train
ing. The Cossacks of the first rank
are enrolled from the age of 81 for a
period of twelve years. and all serve
for further period of FIVE years in
the reserves. the age az discharge be
ing, therefore, SO.

DWARF BANANA FINE FRUIT
Product Of Bermuda Of Which Little
Is Exported.

PRODUCT OF Bermuda OF winch Little
Is Exported.
The dwarf banana of Bermuda first
came from the Canaries. The fruit is
little larger than mans finger, and
is compact in texture and rich in
flavor. The fruit grown in summer Is
OF higher quality than that grown in
winter-if the word winter can be
applied to a land in which the mer
curry rarely registers as low as so de-
grees and in which frost Is unknown.
The single bunch that the tree bears
would weigh, of this dwarf sort, from
twenty-five to sixty or seventy pounds
There is almost no expense required
In maintaining the plantation after 1t
is once established, and the gross an.
nual income should be from $500 to
$500 per acre. The little bananas are
consuAed entirely by the local mar
kets, hr Bermuda is visited by tour.

told-are fond of fruit

Determined to Make a Splurae.

There was once a western miner
who, after many years, made his pile.
and, going to San Francisco looked
about for the most splendid restaurant
he could find. He wanted to make up
to himself in one glorious night for all
his privations and hardships of many
years. When he found his restaurant
and the waiter handed him the bill of
fare he found 1t was in a language
that is not commonly spoken in min
ing camps. and that he could not make
out anything but the prices, which
were extremely high. So he turned to
the waiter and said: Bring me 800
worth of ham and eggs"

The Popular Friend.

You prize the friend that prides himself
on being frank and true:
Who talks about your faults. howe'er II
may hurt him and you
You know that It's his sort on whom you
likeliest to depend
When troubles overcast the sky and Bit
ter tears descend.
But Just the same you sometimes wish
that he could comprehend
That no one finds perfection-no, not even
In friend
And though you vow you want the truth
and want II good and strong,
You kind O. like the fellow who will jolly
you along.
You kind o. like the bird that sings a
song OF careless cheer:
You kind o. like the flowers that blossom
idly, far and near;
You kind o like the merry rhyme whose
strains SO idly fall;
You kind o. like a lot of things that are
no good at all.
But there Is just one fact that stands out
palpable and clear:
The thoughtless smile H. always better
than the thoughtless sneer.
And so many folks are ready to remind
you when you're wrong
That you kind o. like the fellow who will
jolly you along

Shafts have been sunk to a depth Of

HAS THE FIGHTING FACE
NEW YORK EXPERT SIZES UP
HERR PLACKE, THE EUROPEAN
BOXING CHAMPION,

I saw Placke in undress uniform in
Jack Cooper's gymnasium yesterday,
says Left Hook in the New York Tele-
graph. It was the first time I had
there for size. Alongside this noun
famous fellow Mccoy will look like a
brownie playing tag around the knees
of the Colossus of Rhodes. It will be
battle between the wasp and the ele-
plant.
Placke punched the bag rugged after
his own fashion. The bag is a huge,
heavy affair. The platform is ten
feet from the floor: The bag depends
from it at the end Of a strap, thick and
wide as a harness trace that would
pull a truck loaded with Orders to
build a bridge This strap is four
| feet long.
"Fitzsimmons, he break that, not"
said the Herr. He referred to the
trick Of Fitz when he breaks with a
blow the cord on his bag while giving
an exhibition.
From it's length of swing this bag is
very slow. Compared to the light
ning-like pass of Mccoy when he is
punching the bag, Placke's affair does
not look serious. But he hits it some
mighty thumps. He lis f1atfooted and
never gets on his toes when he works
under the platform. But then,
young Corbett' is 1atfooted, and he
can go some.
After all, no one could expect speed
! in a man of his bulk. It is his
strength and weight which must do for
| him, If he does at all.
| And from this point of view he
seems there. He is pretty we'll built
all over, with the exception Of his
shoulders, which look too narrow for
/ the rest Of him. Then again, his back
lis fiat, fiat as a woman's. There is not
| apparent those curves OF muscle that
| give hitting power and are so promi-
nent a part.of the development of the
modern prize fighter.
| Even now at the beginning of his
training he is not fat. He doesn't look
| particularly hard, but what is on him
is evenly distributed. He has no
| paunch.
One thing there is in his facial
makeup that entities him to respect
a fighting lip. With two exceptions I
never knew a champion whose under
| lip was not thrust forward. It is par
| ticularly prominent in Fitz Jeffries,
| Cans, Walcott, Corbett and Mccoy.
The exceptions mentioned are
"Y Dung Corbett'' and Jack McAuliffe.
When / saw that lip come out as he
slammed at his awkward bag,
couldn't help thinking Of the mistake
Mccoy made when he thought he had
soft going with Jack Bonner.
