JOE CANS SAYS
BRITT FOULED
HIM TWO TIMES

was too weak TO do myself
Justice. After / went to my cor
ner in the second round i knew
1t. 1 would like to fight Britt
again, but l would not do 1t at
1873 pounds ringside. 1t is the.
first time / did 1t in my life. j
will fight Britt at 1873 pounds,
weigh i'm at 8 o'clock, or 135
pounds ringside. Then / could
rough ii with him. Britt is very
strong, but not as fast as peo-
pie think. He has a good
punch. He hit me. In the stom-
ach. / did not drop, to avoid
punishment; the punches in the
stomach made me go down. He
fouIed me twice and the referee
had to give me the decision.
Britt is a good boy and Is a de-
termined fighter. There was no
steam in my punches. His blows
. did not make me groggy, but
my own weakness told on me.
The hard work did to reduce
my weight told on me. When 1
went into the ring / felt /
could beat any man. After the
second round 1 knew / was in,

me. Britt would have won had

BRITT ASSERTS
HE is MASTER
OF BLACK MAN

I admit losing the fight; the
decision was fair. / could not
help it, Cans kept slipping to
the floor without being struck.
He also kept hanging on to me
and 1 tried to fight him of. 1
demonstrated tonight some
thing that l held for three years
that i could lick Cans. 1 did
II tonight and L can do it
again. The referee says 1 lost,
therefore can't say aught
against him. 1 am willing to
fight Cans again for any kind of
side bet. Tomorrow night
would suit me. l am sorry I
lost my head and struck the ref
cree. L could not help IL be-
cause I felt he had treated me
unjustly. Cans never marked
me or hurt me. / was too fast
for him and surprised him. He
did not have an ice wagon be-
fore him tonight. / went I'm to
win and in my opinion / would
have knocked Cans out had the
fight continued. never felt
better in my life and i set a
pace for Cans that / could have
kept up indefinitely. Get Cans
for me again and / will prove
/ am his master.-Britt's state
ment after the fight.

About PIeated Skirts

Fashion demands that the up-to-date
skirt be quite fun about the feet, but
fit snugly over the hips. To accomplish
this shirrings. tucks and plaits hold the
fuiness close at the waist and hips,
leaving the fun width to form a grace
ful effect at the bottom. Several rows
of shirring, IL properly placed, are be-
coming to very slight figures. but for
those who are inclined to stoutness the
plated models give longer lines and
define the figure more effectively, says
the Delineator.
Many skirts OF this sort are made OF
linen, ,pique. duck and the novelty cot
ton fabrics. and one should always bear
in mind the fact that it is quite as inn
portant that these washable materials
be shrunk and pressed before cutting
as cloth and woollens.
A good method to use with colored
wash fabrics is toay the material on
a table and sprinkle II well its entire
length, by dipping a clean whisk broom
in bowl OF water then shaking the
water from II over the material, rolling
it up as IL Is moistened. If the ma
terial is figured or has design in an
other color. It viii be wise TO lay a
length Of plain white material over the
goods after IT is sprinkled and roll It ur
with IT, This win prevent the cloth
from touching and perhaps marking.
Plain white or a solid color that may
spot II sprinkled should be wet thor
oughly by dipping in cold water and
hanging up to dry. For colored fabrics
a handful OF salt or enough vinegar to
make the water slightly acid to the
taste may be added.
Care is necessary in pressing material
after Il has been dampened, not "a
stretch OF draw either side. but to keeT
the grain OF the material straight IN
both the length and the width. In cut
ting the front breadths always be sure
that the cross threads OF the materials
are straight and the centre fold follows
straight lengthwise thread. otherwise
the front breadth win never hans
straight.

MEASURE HIS FINGER.

IL II II Longer Than Yours, He VIII
Rule You when You're Wed.
1t is rather late in the day for this
bit of advice. but the girl who thinks
Of marriage should take the precau-
ton Of first measuring the forehnger
Of her lover with her own before she
commits herself irrevocably. If his
forcAnger happens to be longer than
her own she would best reject him,
for she will never rule her own house
hold the rule being that whichever
has the longer forchnger becomes the
ruling power in this home. One en-
gagged girl. upon being told Of this
test. carefully measured fingers at
once. and upon finding That her
lancc's finger was much longer than
her own. stoutly declared that she
didn't care. "Shc didn't want TO rule
the house anyway" The man breath
ed freely once more. II was this very
same girl. however. who was observed
to make special and strenuous efforts
to set her own right foot upon the
church step before tie groom, and to
place this same foot upon the carpet
before his! 1t is sure sign that which
ever sets foot first upon the church
step and upon the carpet at the altar
will rule the house.
Which offers solution Of the 'long-
est forehnger" problem! Avoid as
you would the pestlence the tying of
your shoe in a carriage upon your we'd
ding day. 1t is NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

THE WORD DOLLY.
Originally II Was the Name of n Fab
ric For summer Wear.

Originally II Was the Name of n Fab
ric For summer Wear.
Though the word dolly is now re-
strlcted in meaning 10 the small cloth
that covers dessert plate, il had
originally a much wider Specification.
IL seems 10 have been introduced as
n cheap and fashionable fabric, special
~ for summer wear, about the latter
part of the seventeenth century. for
Dryden speaks Of "doiley petticoats,
and Steele I'm the Tatler mentions "a
doyley suit"
The name has been long connected
with n London firm, trading as linen
drapers. in Upper Wellington street
Strand, who occupied the great old
corner house next TO Hodsolis, the
banker, from Queen Annes time to
1850. Though their name happens 10
be the same as that OF the stun, there
is no authority for linking the two to
gether.
Wedgwood rejects derivation and
suggests the Dutch dwaele, towel, or
better still. the Swiss dwaheli, a nap
kin. The dolly itself used TO be called
a dolly napkin" till shortened by Gus
tomary usage London Standard.

Jackets for Autumn

We believe that capes OF the more or
less pelerine order win receive "a fresh
impetus during the preliminary days OF
autumn-or. shall we say. the later
days Of summer? AL the moment. the
weather being propitious. there has
arisen very rage for mousseline de
sole scarves. both i'm plain color and
pompadour designs.
For those who have not met these
frivolities. we may explain that they
consist Of two and three-quarter yards
of double width mousseline, the centre
drawn into group OF upright gaug-
ings and the ends gathered up into bell
rope frills. or sometimes the gaugings
are dispensed with. and the whole
width OF mousseline permitted to fol-
low its own sweet will by the way-in
which case the ends are frequently fin
ished with several narrow gathered
frills of the transparency, hemmed
with lace. says Home Chat
I'm spite Of not being enormously
cnamored OF these nimsy fitments, prin-
cipally. / think, because they are so
seldom well worn-yet we can but ac-
cord them the grace of orthodoxy, all

lace lapel strings, when the tout en-

BRILLIANT swoRDPLAY.
italy II the Home OF Fencing ~ a
Rehnch Art.

italy II the Home OF Fencing NJ n
Refined Art.
Although the Germans were always
redoubtable at the rougher games Of
swordsmanship. & is in Italy that we
find the first development Of that
nimbler. more regulated, more cum
ming, better controlled play which we
have learned 10 associate with the
term fencing. 1t is from Italy that
fencing as refined art first spread
over Europe, not from Spain, as It has
been asserted by many writers.
II is in the italian rppier play OF the
late sixteenth century that we find the
foundations Of fencing in the modern
sense OF the word. The Italians-if we
take their early books as evidence and
the fact that their phraseology Of fence
was adopted by all Europe-were the
first to perceive, as soon ms the prob
lem Of armor breaking ceased TO be
the most important one In a fight, the
superior capabilities for elegant
slaughter possessed by the point as
compared with the edge They ac-
cordlngly reduced the breadth of their
sword, modified the hilt portion there
Of TO admit of reader thrust action
and relegated the cut to quite a second
any position In their system. With this
lighter weapon they devised in course
Of time that brilliant, cunning, catlike
play known as raplcr fence.
The rapier was ultimately adopted
everywhere by men of courtly habit,
but in England at least it was not
accepted without murmur and vitu-
peration from the older fighting class
of swordsmen.- Cornhill.
Evening journal., 1904-08-31
Useful to Know

Breathing Exercises-Deep breathing
exercises, through the nostrils-never
the mouth-should be practiced by
every woman night and morning. At
least ten deep inhalations Of fresh air
should be taken upon or before rising
and the same before going to bed. one
deep breath slowly inhaled and ex-
PEELED, besides purifying the blood, ex-
ercises no fewer than 147 different
muscles.
Spots on the Face.-Some people in
summer get very tiny red spots on the
face that burn very much. This is a
kind OF nettlerash. and is caused by
a chill after being overheated, or by in
digestion. Strawberries, eggs, porridge
and shellhsh are often the cause. Strict
attention TO diet. aperient medicine. and
some cooling saline are all that are
needed to cure IL. Weak gin and water,
used as a lotion, will relieve the irri-
tateion.
A New Cure.-On sore throat, cry
sipelas, sciatica, and swellings OF vari-
Gus kinds, tobacco externally applied
has wonderfully good effect. It
seems to increase the pain for a few
minutes, but afterward acts as a Sc
dative. and allays the suffering. II
may take as much as two hours to pro-
duce the soothing effect, but the result
is usually that the sufferer is enabled
to sleep, and Inflammation entirely sub
sides.
Hints to be Remembered When
Choosing a Lamp.-Always insist upon
buying a lamp with heavy stand, a
brass reservoir. with a good tight
screw, and one with a double burner
and a sheath around the wick. Use a
] lhreproof globe, and the lamp will prove
very safe II ii is made Of brass.
Cleaning Tinware-Acids should
never be employed to clean tinware be-
cause they attack. the metal. and re-
move IL from the iron OF which It forms
a thin coat. We refer to articles made
OF tin plate. which consists of iron
covered with tin. Rub the article
first with rotten-stone and sweet OIL
then finish with whiting and a piece
of soft leather. Articles made wholly
of tin should be cleaned Ia the same
manner. In dry atmosphere plauished
tinware viii remain bright for "a long
period, but will soon become furnished
in moist air.
To Clean White Paint-A h'lnel
wrung out OF hot water rubbed on "a
square Of soap. then dipped Ia pipeclay
linked as cream with water Dry aftet-
ward thoroughly the way OF the grain
OF wood with clean cotton duster.
Jelly MOlds.-lf. when making jellies,
the inside of the molds are well brushed
with white OF egg, the jellles will turn
out quite easily.
To Keep Flowers Fresh-A piece of
camphor put into the water will keer
flowers for long time.
TO Take out Coffee stains.--Wher
coeffe has been split ona tabiecloth, tho
stain can be removed by soaking the
part in clear cold water to which 8
little borax has been added, for twelve
hours.
Hint to Ping-Pong Players.-Wher
the balls become dented, place them In
warm water and the dents will dis
appear.
Pomatum for the Skiu.-Take two
tounces of the juice of white lily root,
two ounces of fine honey. and one
ounce.of white wax. Melt all together
mix the ingredients well, and add a
little scent II ii be desired.
