HOW THE BETTING GOES.
Even Money Taken That Higgins Will
Carry New York,

Col Ike Hill strolled up the street today
and dropped in ON his old friend George
Williamson, to see how the election betting
was coming on. AS he stood by the counter
he listened to a strident-voiced republican
declaring that New York state was going
for Higgans. What followed is told in the
vernacular of bystander
'Col. Ike listened to this gent for while,
with a kind of tired look on his face, and
a chewing Of his tobacco. Finally he says
in sort of weary voice: My friend, have
you got any money to back them remarks
Of yours?'
Sure thing says the stranger; I will
back 'em for $3.50
You are on says Col Ike; that's
the kind of talk that suits an old-fashioned
democratic from Licking county. Ohio, like
me- and with that he goes down into his
jeans and fetches up a roll of bills He
peels Off five $50 bills and lays them on the
counter. The stranger says Now. just get
me pen and ink and will cover that in
a minnit'
What you want pen and ink for? asks
Col. Ike.
To make a check says the stranger.
"'Oh,' says Col Ike. If this is check
bet, I'll bet you $25,0OO,' and with that he
rolls up his wad and goes of disgusted."
A change was noted In the character of
the betting around town today. George Will
Hanson took the stakes for one bet of 5000
even. that Higgins would carry New York
state, money up and bet taken. A we'll
known broker took the democratic end of
it. Another bet was offered of 5000 or any
part of 1t that Indiana and West Vir-
ginia would go republican.
A man. who came over from New York
today said that a good deal of betting talk
in the metropolis is bluff and that very
little money is going up. He said there is
plenty of betting among friends Of hats,
dinners and wine suppers, but that the pro-
fessional betters are not putting up, be-
cause nobody will risk a large sum on
Parker even at odds of to 1.

Policy,

ST. PETERSBURG, October u.-Prince
Sviatopolk-Mirsky, the minister of the in
terror, reiterates, according to the report
of an interview with him published in the
Russ, his statement to the Associated Press
that 1t is too early as yet to attempt to
formulate the policy of the ministry of the
interior; but repeats that much is to be ex-
pected from the intelligent use Of the
Zemstvos.
The minister adds that he hopes ultimate
ly to decentralise the method of dealing
with these communities, so as to give each
of them the benefit of their own knowledge
of local conditions, as they are naturally
more competent to manage their affairs to
their advantage than Is the st. Petersburg
government, which often has no knowledge
of the local conditions that exist.
Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsk the minister Of
the interior, has personally requested the
newspapers and news agencies not to print
the felicitatiohs and eongratulatory ad-
dresses adopted by the municipalities in
honor Of his appointment to the ministry,
saying that such things are distasteful to
him.

Remember, also, that If the bag
moves awkwardly or flies off at the

While your sparring partner may hest

and may take on himself the blame for

Swings and hooks cannot Of course
be practiced on the double-ender bag.
The sides Of the doorway prevent free
scope of the arms in dealing circular
blows, but on each variety Of bag all
the straight" blows known to boxing
may be used.
Everything in bag punching depends
on striking the bag at the proper angle
and at exactly the right moment
Your blow should land as the bag is
swinging toward you and while It is
as nearly as possible in the center Of
the ring.
Stand close to the bag and lead

If you can afford it, get two punch

your striking force.

Tattoos are Of two sorts. That de-
scribed in the last lesson Is known as
the straight tattoo" The second, or
..overhand tattoo" is accomplished by
hitting the bag with alternate hands
as before, only this time allowing the
hands to overlap. in somewhat the
same position and motion as you
would employ in rolling UP ball of
string on the hands. Great speed
may be acquired in this. But care
must be taken to prevent the hands
from touching each other. The two
tattoos bring different sets OF arm
muscles into play.
AS the tattoo Is the most wearisome
evolution of all the various branches
of bag punching, 1t should be left un.
