AS she stood there watching him,

months she had almost forgotten his
existence. he had been little more than
an empty name, while she gave every
energy of mind and heart to the

A Book Infinite.

There is a young German teacher
in the West who thinks city children
are easier to teach than country chill
dren, in spite Of the fact that most of
our great men have come from the
rural districts.
One day she spent an hour in de-
fining several words. Among them
was the word infinite" After her
long explanation she asked finally:
Now. who can give me a sentence
with the word Infinite in it, and ex-
plain why?"
A small boys hand went up. At a
nod from the teacher he arose, hold
ing up paper book, and said:
This book is Infinite because It is
unbounded."

This is where the pinch comes. Anyone
with sense knows that a referee carries
the reputation Of the men he presides
over In the hollow OF his hand. That Is
why fighters are allowed the privilege OF
selecting the man who Is to pass judg-
ment upon their work. According TO the
BIaunhart theory the day for q fighter
having voice In the choosing OF ring
master Is past
The effect Of the disclosure has been TO
amuse some OF the sports and to make
others angry. The end isn't yet, OF course,
by long odds, and 1t is believed that GER
tain influences will be brought to bear to
convince Mr. Braunhart that he must ind

referee the moment the men reached an
agreement on the score OF weight. and as
the match Is the biggest thing In sight.

HERE IS SOMETHING NEW.
Charley Ross Described as Giant
weighing over 900 Pounds.

About tho most absurd story published
In an oregon paper. came out recently In
the Baker City Herald, IL was In rela-
ton to the recent wrestling match be-
tween Lewis and Charley Ross There is
hardly a word OF truth In the entire
story. Here It Is:
Lewis was outweighted, said local
athlete today mo man Of Lewis weight
In this country can throw him. Ross,
who got the best two out Of three,
weighed twenty-five to thirty pounds
more than Lewis Ross weighs close to
?OO pounds and Lewis was trained down
10 10
Lewis Is much more the scientific
man, but Ross Is not only a giant in
weight but a giant In strength and en-
durance You may rest assured that
when the full particulars are learned II
will be shown that Ross simply over
powered the Baker City athlete, Lewis
threw him beautifully In the first round,
but the contest with the heavy man ex-
hausted Lewis strength and he had 70
finally give In the second But Lewis
second wind came In the third round
and he kept the big man busy for four
teen minutes.
"Whie Lewis Is hurt In reputation TO
some extent he Is not injured financially,
They had a 5000 house and Lewis got
one-fourth Of this. Five hundred dollars
was not bad pay for less than an hour $
work"

Alabama Lime In Demand.

We are being hard pressed just now to fill orders for Alabama lime said Needham Graham. proprietor of the lime works at Siluria My information is that other lime-makers are having the same difficulty. Probably you didn't know it, but Alabama lime is considered among the very best on the market, and as the demand is greater than the supply, the business throughout the state Is pros porous. Our lime rock in Alabama Is Of superior quality, and is easily handled. The production of lime now is larger than ever before in the history of Alabama, and in fact the business is rapidly be- coming an important factor among the leading industries of the state.
 "The lime makers of Alabama are going to make an effort to furnish considerable of our product to the government for use in the Panama canal zone," continued Mir. Graham, and I have enough as- surances to believe that we will be suc- cessful. If we do it will be a feather in the cap of the Alabama manufacturers of lime.''

Judge Parker's Personality.

James Creelman in the Review of Re
 views
 The chief judge of the court of appeals of New York is a man of impressive statue and handsome appearance He Is six feet tall, weighs 196 pounds. and has the proportions of an athlete. He was 52 years old on May IA. He had a large head and the face of a country bred gentleman-strong fresh-colored and unwrinkled. There is a singular sugges- tion of power, courage. and good nature in his personality. The eyes are large. brown and luminous-sincere and direct The nose is aquiline, the jaws large and curved, and the chin round and massive. The teeth are big and white, the lower lip heavy and protruding. and the thick mustache coarse and tawny. The judge has wide, high forehead. The top head indicates penetration, energy, benevo- lence. reverence. and firmness. The hair is reddish-brown. It is a head devoid of eccentricity in its lines-full. even, sym metrical. There Is simple. unpretending dignity about the man that fits his mas sive physique and easy, upright carriage. He is sober, sincere, unselfish, decent. Men in every walk of life turn 10 him instinctively with confidence. There is neither exaggeration nor self-eonscious- ness in his speech or manner. He does not boast He has a hearty scorn for heroics. Firm in spirit eventempered, charitable in his judgments of others. loyal in friendship. loving work for Its own sake. seeing in law only the means of justice and order. he unites the vir- idities and the sobrieties in his strong, modest character. He has. too native sense of humor that will never permit him to become pompous.
 Judge Parker may be said to be man free from eccentricities, unless in- tellectuaI integrity and sound moral imagination are to be considered abnor- nal in an age to be weak demagoguery.

sEABoARD AIR LINE.
Baltimore Attributes Buying to Two
 Sources.

Special to the New York Commercial
 Baltimore. August 15-The heavy selling of Seaboard stocks on the New York curb market has been watched with keen inter- est by Baltimore financiers. It Is sug- gested here that somebody has been dis appointed and either is attempting to break down the price of the stocks or en- deavoring to dispose of part of his hold ings. The inference is that the selling has come from the Blair-Ryan interests and was due to the refusal of the offer of 121s and 221s for the common and pre- ferred stocks held by the Middendorf- Will Hams interests.
 The feeling in local circles. however, is that they will renew ---er proposition. for having once decided to buy the stocks they will not let a few points stand in their way. It is figured nc Y that an aver age of TIE for the common stock and 271a for the preferred stock would enable J. William Middendorf & Go. and John l.. Williams X Sons to pay their obligations in full. 1t Is doubted whether they would consent to a sale much below these fig ures.
 The pressure to sell in New York on Saturday, however. quickly brought out buying orders, and the common stock
