He Stuck to a Good Thing

pretty fair sermon business faith could be preach
ed, and VIM w. Grape would be the text.
About all get hurry trip through the
affairs of this life is eas and worry. The fellow who has
good thing, who will work for it and stick to it and
fuse to let any amount of croakng and adversely force him
to let go will generally land near the top That hits every
thing from real estate to breakfast foods.
The main thing is merit and the next thing is conf
dence in that merit
Mr. Grape has just closed his trusteeshp of the estate
of B. B. Ward of Cleveland who died 81 years ago. Mr.
Ward left real estate bonds to the face value of
100000 They in hundreds of hands, and in the panic
of 1872 they worth almost nothing. Mr. Grape had
faith He said Hang on He preached it and lived it,,
and assured the holders that the country grew richer
and prosperous they bound to get their
back. Many of them sold their holdings AS time went
there funerals, until Mr. Grape the only orig
inal bondhoder left alive And he still said hang ON
A few days ago he closed trusteeshp that has ex-
tended third of century, and had redeemed that
last bond AT LITTLE OVER PAR.
He did more than that. He INDICATED the memory of
B. B. Ward he gave the world lesson in careful nan-
cering; and, incidentally he proved his bust
qualifications and un1inching honesty
you have good thing whether it is religion real es

The Mental Attitude

If we are unfortunate we lay it to luck if sue

ItDw easy it is for conceit to fool us.
No other superstition deeply rooted in natures
the superstition called luck 1t spans great gap in
knowledge of the mmutable laws which control all
things from the greatest planets to the smallest atoms
Every element movement in the bOundless universe
subject to the eneXOrabe law of and effect but
because cannot understand the infinite combination of
that lie back of effects supply superstition and
call it "uck."
Two railway trains crash together and call it acct
dent But look into the conditions, and you find 1t nat
ural, unavoidable result The misplaced SWITCH the
defective lantern, the dsobeyed order all perfectly

results of natural laws.
One starts in life as a dock laborer at 40 cents
day and becomes the richest in the world. Another
starts with inherited fortune of million dollars and
becomes pauper.

The accident in varying degrees, has been du

Most OF us waste our energies and make our lives in

The council will meet tonight as
committee of the whole for the pur"
pose of passing on the plans sent IN
by City Engineer Gill. In viSw OF
the bad breaks and incompetency dis
played In putting In the concrete piers
at the Monroe street bridge. the coun-
cilmen will probably go very care
fully into the city engineers plans
for reservoirs.
Committees from the chamber OF
commerce and the taxpayers league
will be present to try to avert any
further incompetent makeshifts, but
the only safe way is to submit the
city engineers plans to some expert
who knows his business and can as

1t is generally conceded that the
city engineer is not to be trusted

the construction of reservoirs and

faction intervenes move will be
made to take the entire matter out

BLOOD

On account of it's frightful hideous-
hess, Blood Poisoning Is commonly
called the King of All Diseases. It
may be either hereditary or contract
ed. Once the system Is tainted with
It, the disease may manifest itself in
the form of Scrofula, Eczema, Rheu-
matte Pains. Stiff or Swollen Joints,
Eruptions or Copper Colored Spots on
the Face or Body. little Ulcers in the
Mouth or on the Tongue. Sore Throat.
Swollen Tonsils, Falling out Of the
Hair or Eyebrows. and finally a Lep-
rous-like Decay OF the Flesh and
Bones. If you have any Of these or
similar symptoms, get BROWNS
BLOOD CURE Immediately. This
treatment Is practically the result of
life work. 1t contains no dangerous
drugs or injurious medicines of any
kind. 1t goes to the very bottom of
the disease and forces out every par
ticle of impurity. Soon every sign
and symptom disappears, completely
and forever The blood, the tissues.
the flesh, the bones and the whole
system are cleansed, purified and re-
stored to perfect health and the pa
tient prepared anew for the duties
and pleasures of life. BROWNS

The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1904-11-15

One of the oldest clauses ever in
serted in articles of agreement for
a fight has imprisoned Young Cor
bett" and Battling" Nelson during
their training for the go in Frisco.
The clause is to the effect that each
pugilist is debarred from leaving his
training quarters during the last
three weeks of his training under
penalty of $500 forfeited.
Just who is responsible for this or
der san OF developed. Some say
Young Corbett" needs to be held
down to his work else he is apt to
slip out in the evening and go to
town for a good time. Others Insist
it is Nelson who needs to be handled
like a football player in training and
guarded against the wiles of the me-
tropolis.
Be that as 1t may. both pugilists
are held away from the things which
Mayor Frank Boyd says conduces to
the prosperity of the town. This
does not apply to road work or swim
ming or other exercises outside the
camp limits. 1t is merely a bar to
visits to the city, where things might
be done which would set back the
training results. It's a good idea.

boy, there is certainly something to
his claim that he will be welter-

worth paying attention to.
A doctor told Kid McCay that the
| reason he failed to put Twin Sullivan
into dreamland was because of a lack
of coordination. After Mccoy got
through asking questions he found

Jim Jeffries cute advertising man
is talking of putting a local man on
with the champ to last four rounds.
Wonder who it will be?
AS a matter Of fact, should think
that Jeff's four-round goes would be
abrogated, and I think If his man
ayers have anything to say about It
they will be. Jeff's last four-rpund
go with Jack Munroe, which was in
violation of his engagement contract
at that, was not such as to make the
thing popular with the Jeffries aggre-
CATION. When you're picking un-
knowns in strange camps you don't
always get what you are looking for.
Not that Munroe by any means
was entitled to that decision which
stirred up such a muss. 1t was one
of those fiukes which are liable to
happen to anyone not on his guard.
1 don't think jeff will ever again
take the chances of being lied about
that he took in Butte. The decision
didn't amount to half as much as did
the fake sent out that Munroe knock
ed Jeffries down. 1t was this which
sent the champ into the doldrums
and came near to breaking up the
effries combination.
The decision could easily have been
explained through roasting the ref
cree. But until Munroe fiuked so
badly when he finally did get in front
of the big fellow at Frisco there
were thousands who believed that
tale of the knockdown which never
happened. Yet JEFF acted like the
gentleman and big-hearted sport he
is until he was forced into the sue
ceeding gabfest and Frisco comedy.

Jerry Mccarthy is in town and is
getting into shape for his go with
Green next Monday night at the Au-
dtorium under the auspices of the
s. A. A. C. Jerry says he will go
east to meet the Dixie Kid after
winning this match with Green. 1t
looks to me as if Jerry would make
the trip easily.
But it's more of a question as to
how the "Walkerville pet" will come
out with the kid. That match ought
to be one of interest for several rea-
sons. In the first place. the kid was
one of the first to put it onto Jerry's
old antagonist, Nose Lafontise. The
Frenchman was sailing along smooth
ly, even after his first defeat by
Young Gibbs, until he met the Dixie
Kid" Then his light went out.
Since that battle Jerry has proved
himself the master of the red-headed
Frenchman and is certainly in line
to show what he can do with Dixie.
