brides PRICED.


To us it seems a curious whim on the
part of our ancestors of the eighteenth
century that in their marriage an
nouncements they should SO often
choose and with such seeming compla-
cency to enlighten the world with re-
gard to the amount of fortune received
with the brides. Here are two cases in
point: "Mr. James Coutts of Jeffry's
So, merchant, to Miss Peagrum Of
Knightsbridge, 100000" "W. Smith,
gentleman, of the I'd Troop of Horse
Guards, to Mrs. Ann Gardiner, a maid
en- lady, aged, it's said, near 20, with a
fortune of 100000" -----
Queer Korean ways.
The women of the commonalty are
voluble and vixenish and ever ready to
slap a handful of stars into the eyes
of a husband or into those of timid
and shrinking tourist should the oc-
casion arise. The women of the upper
class are vigorously excluded from mas
culine eyes, and hearty vote of thanks
is due the committee who fathered this
unwritten law. The dainty little jap
anese musmee, lettering along in san
dals or on wooden geta, is a genuine
relief to the eye after view of the un-
comedy Korean woman.
Until Korean boys are married and
acquire the pseudo dignity of the top
knot their hair is worn girl fashion in
twin plaits down their backs. So much
do they resemble girls that it is some
times difficult to determine the sex, and
one is oftentimes uncommonly surpris-
ed to observe what he is positive are
two girls sprawling and viciously fight
ing in a Korean street.-Outing.

homes, and for the nonce everything
else of a public nature seemed to have
been forgotten.
While both fighters have about an
equal number of well wishers, it is a
different thing when it comes to betting
money. Jeffries was a 10 to favorite
at the ringside.
Both men were in the pink of condi-
ton, and both were calm and confident
as they entered the ring Sporting men
were present from all over the country.
Munroe certainly was a marvel of self
control He betrayed no more excite
ment over the encounter than he would
were he due TO visit theater instead
of facing the biggest man in the ring.
Under the style of fighting agreed to
by Jeffries and Munroe for this contest
the spectators saw hitting in the
clinches. The men We're allowed to
slug each other so long as they com
piled with the Queensbury rules re-
garding clinches.
The giants battled head to head like
couple of bantams when they got
close together. Heretofore in most Of
the heavyweight contests the fighters
were ordered to break clean, and the
referee has been empowered to rush
between them and drag them apart
when there seemed to be a disposition
to land blow on the breakaway. But
Referee Graney did not put his hands
on the contestants in this battle, and
many are thinking that Manager Pol
lock made point for his man, Munroe,
when he settled this innovation in
fighting methods.
Some of the wiseacres Of the sporting
brigade, especially those from the mid
die west and east, said that Jeffries
was only good on the surface and
would be unable to stand a gruelling
contest.
Warm friends of the champion just
smiled at this. They were the most
confident of the confident
Munroe attended a show at the Or
pheum, accompanied by James Coffrath
VI the lOSNiilAt NiuD. ~ oOOu as lhe
audience caught sight of Jack it arose
en- masse and gave him one of the
finest ovations ever given a fighter.
Munroe stood up, bowling on all sides
till the noise had subsidized He simply
said: Il thank you gentlemen for this
reception. Although | am the short
end in the betting, l am surely going to
win the tigart with the champion of the
world. am in the finest possible con
dition and a great deal better than
ever was before in my life. beat him
at Butte and will repeat the perform
ance in Frisco
Jeffries was so confident that he
spent some time talking over plans for
a triumphal tour.
In talking over his plans for the bat
tie Munroe said:
II intend to win this fight by setting
a fast, untiring pace. / know that |
can last longer than Jeffries by the
way he acted in our battle at Butte.
Although l was greenhorn then, |
was able to exchange blow for blow,
and succeeded In sending him flying to
the ropes with hard body blow. l
will repeat the same tactics and expect
