THANKSGIVING BATTLES.


 The police saved Chester Goodwin from being knocked out in his 15 round fight with Chick Tucker of New York at the Apollo A. O., Salem, Mass. The mill was stopped in the fourteenth round and called draw. For eleven rounds Goodwin seemed to have mat ters his own way. Tucker was game, and although he received plenty of punishment he was ready for more at the beginning of each round. In the twelfth Tucker fioored Goodwin with quick right on the chin. Tn the four teenth round Tucker repeated the dose, and while Goodwin was hugging for dear life the police interfered and the referee called the scrap draw.
 Eddie Jansen = Providence and Kid Paul of Fall River fought ten hard rounds to a draw at the Brighton A. C.. Scituate, near Providence, in the afternoon. The mill was fast affair, being punctuated with knock-dOwns and severe body blows. The greater part of the fighting was at close range, but both men covered up well, and in this way avoided being put to sleep.
 There was plenty of excitement in the 10 round bout between Blink Me- Cluskey of Philadelphia and Robbie Thompson, the former bicycle rider, at the meeting of the Union A. O., Cam bridge, Mass. Thompson did most of the leading, but his blows were very weak. McCluskey's punches. on the other hand were powerful and did a lot of damage McCluskey had no trouble in winning.
 Jack Costello of Brooklyn fought q fast six round draw with Jack Grady of Ashland. Pa, at a quiet spot near Pittston. Pa. Although the battle was held under cover and many difficulties had to be overcome, a large crowd was on hand. Costello took n commanding lead in the first five rounds and it seemed as if he would be the winner. But in the last round Grady evened matters by bounding Costello's body with heavy drives. Tn this round Cos +eI7o had all he could do to keep on his feet.
 A 20 round bout in nrivate between Young Lowry and Kid Seitz, two Bronx lads. took place near New Rochelle. Seitz. after the tenth round. seemed to have Lowrv's blows gauged. and with a speedv left hook on the jaw nut his opponent away in the fif- teenth round. Lowry was much used up.
 The police put an end to the private battle between Kid Britt and Young Fitzsimmons, two East side youths. They were to have fought to a finish. but the fight was over in the first round While the lands were plugging away in the opening round. and the two hundred and odd snorts were fig- uring on witnessing a rattling mill, the rolice came upon the scene and broke ',n the combat. The fighters and spec tators were too fleet footed for the au- thorities, and got away.

CHERRY KNOCKED OUT.

Saginaw, Mich, Nov 26.-Harry Forbes of Chicago knocked out Joe Cherry of Saginaw In the 18th round of scheduled 15-round bout before the Saginaw Athletic club here last night. In the tenth round Cherry again took the count and he ended the round by clinging to Forbes. From then on it was only question of how much time it would take Forbes to wear put his opponent.
 Philadelphia, Nov. 26.-Boxing has received severe setback in this city as result of the fake fight which Tommy Ryan and Jack Root, both of Chicago, tried to put upon the several hundred spectators gathered about the ring of the National Athletic Club Tuesday evening.
 Before the bell closed the first round the crowd had become disgusted and began to urge the two men in the ring to "get together.' In the fourth round the crowd became so noisy that Referee McGuigan left the ring and denounced the fight as a fake.
 The fighters and their managers merely pocketed $2.5OO and laughed at those who were foolish to pay from $1 to $5 for seats.

Storm Cannona.

The storm cannons now in use along
the southern side Of the Alps, where
damage from hailstorms during har-
vest time is imminent, look like huge
megaphone, such as boat-crew coaches
use, and they are set, with their wide
mouths gaping skywand, beside little
houses that look like sentry boxes.
When they are fred they boom like
"sure enough" cannons, and send re-
verberating, echoing, boom-booms car
roming about among the hillsides; but
instead of ball or shell, or other SIM
liar projectile, they emit a ring of
smoke which grows larger and larger
as it ascends, until at last, before it
breaks, it is big enough to surround a
ten-acre field. What the effect of q
smoke ring upon mischievously in
tent cloud is 1 cannot exactly say, but
instead of hail, only rain falls when
the guns are used, and damage to
crops is prevented.

STORY FROM AN ABSTRACT

Farm Now In Kansas City Sold by Sem.
ator Cockreu in Boyhood.
IT Senator Francis Marion Cockrell
could have foreseen when he was
boy that the great city Of the Missouri
valley would be built here at the juno
ton of the Kaw and Missouri rivers
he might now be nultimillionaire. In
examining an abstract to a lot on
Tracy, between Thirty sixth and Thir-
ty-seventh streets. r. ]. Holmden, the
attorney, made the discovery that
COckrell, in 1S47, when he was boy
of 13, owned eighty acres there, and
he sold it all for $500. The lot which
Mr.. Holmden was looking up sold re-
Gently for $1,000.
The land. $40 acres Of 1t, was decided.
by the United States government: in
1927 to the State of Missouri for semi
nary purposes. The tract was all of
section 21, township 40, range 33. In
1893 Joseph Cockrell. father of the
Senator, bought eighty acres Of it from
the State for $2.O2 an acre. Mr.. Cock
rell died, and in 1S47. when Francis
Marion sCockrell was 13 years old. he
petitioned the court, through his guar
dian, to sell the eighty acres.
In his petition he said that he al
ready owned a farm in Warrensburg
sufficiently large for his needs when
he should become Of age, and, besides,
he said, the big storm of 1874, the
year of the great food. had blown
down all the trees on his eighty-acre
tract in Jackson county and therefore
it would be useless for him to hold it
because, when he would come of age,
the timber would be all dead. Hicks
and Smart of Independence were Cock
relPs lawyers. The court granted his
request and the land was bought by
Joseph Brown for $9OO.-Kansas City

WHEN SCHOOL OPENS:
some .DON'TS' FOR PARENTS

Do not believe all that your children
tell you about school, There was only
one George Washington. and he is
dead.
Do not tell the teacher that Willie
will not lie. She probably knows bet
ter.
Do not condemn the teacher with
out fair hearing. That is accorded
to even the worst criminal. There are
usually two sides to story.
Do not send a scathing note to the
teacher by Nellie, the contents Of
which she knows. Her aggressive look
of triumph Is not soothing. and the
teacher Is only human
Do not make unfavorable comment
upon the methods Of the teacher in
the presence Of your child. Send him
to carry ins the wood while you are
doing 50, ifit must be done.
Do not plead lack of time to visit the
school. There is no excuse for shirk-
ink q duty. IKE.
Do not reproach the teacher with
the fact that Tommy has not learned
a single thing ther entire year" She
is not responsible for his. lack of
brains
Do not send verbal request to have
Jessie's seat changed. There is often
no vacant seat, and one change usu-
ally means at least half dozen.
Do not expect the teacher to man
age without friction a child whom you
yourself have never been able to con-
troll.
Do not insist that the teacher is
keeping your child back through spite.
She will hardly risk her reputation as
an instructor to crafty personal
grudge. however disagreeable the child
may be.
Do not forget that the parent owes
duty to the teacher just as surely as
the teacher does to the child.-Alice
Cook Fuller.

THE POSTAL SERVICE.
A High Standard Of Devotion to Duty
In Maintained.

A High Standard Of Devotion to Duty
Is Maintained.
One clerk was busy throwing mail In
a combination smoker and baggage car,
when suddenly, without an instant's
warning, he felt the car leap from the
track and heard terrific crash. When
he regained consciousness the wreck
presented this chaotic condition.: The
two forward cars had been plunged
down a seventy foot embankment; the
combination car landed in an upright
position with the rear trucks on the
roof. every seat in the smoking COM
partment being utterly demolished,
while on the door Of the mail compart-
ment was huge angular stone weigh
Ing not less than half q ton. How the
mail clerk escaped unhurt will always
be mystery, says the Worlds Work.
There is probably no department of
the government service In which a
higher standard Of devotion to duty is
maintained than in this During a
heavy freshet on the Susquehanna Riv-
er, In 1890, all bridges were swept
away and the railroad tracks along the
banks practically destroyed. Four mail
clerks remained in their car until the
water rising and flowing through the
doors compelled them to take to an i'm
provised raft which consisted of pieces
of floating sidewalks and other debris
of the inundation, lashed together. On
this trail craft they put their pouches,
and carefully propelling by poles along
with the current. gained the postof1ce,
a mile away. They found this aban-
doned, with eight feet of water in the
street at that point. They were almost
exhausted and their condition was pre-
carious. Finally, however, they were
rescued by boats and taken into
houses through the second-story win
dows. The letter mail was all intact
and in fairly good condition
Some time ago the run" on a West
ern road was "short" a clerk because
of sickness. An official of the service
happened to be on the train and volun-
teered his services. For fifteen hours
he stuck to his work at the letter case.
In the journey Of more than 500 miles
he had only a sandwich or two for
food, and stood on his feet without re-
lief There are other instances on rec
ord where entire crews have stood to
the work without food for twenty-four
hours.

MONKEYS Eaten in Brazil.

The savage tribes in the interior Of
Brazil are exceedingly fond of roast
monkey. Humboldt estimated that one
small tribe of 200 Indians consumed
over 1,20O monkeys during year. It
is said that until recently monkey
meat was for sale in the butcher shops
of Rio Janeiro. Mr.. Wallace, when in
the Amazon region, had a monkey cut
up and fried for breakfast. The flesh
somewhat resembled rabbit in flavor
and had no unpleasant or peculiar
taste.

Bra I'll Has a Fine Tea.

United States Consul Ayme writes
from Para recommenda ton of a Bra
lillian beverage, yerba mate tea, which
Is prepared from the roasted and pull
verized leaves Of an evergreen forest
tree.
Yerba mate is largely consumed in
Paraguay and in the Brazilian States,
where it is made. It is extensively
consumed in Argentina, in Uruguay,
and to less extent in Chill. There is
a small consumption in other States
of Brazil, small quantity is exported
to Europe and still less to the United
States and Canada. Estimated exports
may reach $4,000 to $1,000 tons annu-
ally.
Yerba mate has a peculiar bitter,
smoky taste, which is usually consid-
cred unpleasant, and this has largely
operated to prevent its more extensive
use as beverage, This smoky bitter
ness Is chiefly due to the rude meth
cd employed for drying the leaves and
1t seems likely that the improved
methods of drying the mate on iron or
copper pans would give a much more
delicate and agreeable product. Mate Is
said to have all of the best qualities
of coffee and tea as a stimulating
health beverage, without the disadvan-
tage Of either. 1t Is a more gentle
stimulant than either and is said to be
much used In the hospitals Of Paris.
The tree could probably be grown
In southern California, perhaps in
southern Texas. certainly in many
parts of the Philippines.
