ONCE UPON a TIME.

Heard I once my old nurse telling
Stories by the fire at night,
All about big, bearded giants
Till l shivered in alright;
Then her voice came from a distance
From a drowsy, far-of cline,
Echoing the sweet old cadence,
"Once upon a Time"
Read I once golden story
or King Arthur's wonder court,
Lancelot and Guineyere,
All the knights of brave report
But amidst the loving, hating,
Still l heard the insstent chime,
Like a cuckoo clock repeating.
"Once upon Time"
VIII our lives when we have lived them
Seem like stories we have read
Stories which our nurses told us
AS we lay all snug in bed?
Will they seem as vague as dreams are,
All the days we thought sublime?
Shall we hear the faint, low whisper.
Once upon a Time"
When the earth and day and sunlight
Grayly fade away,
When the years that we have lived here
Seem like one brief day;
Shall we hear again at twilight
Echo of our nurses rhyme.
Here you lived and loved and labored,
"Once upon a Time"
-Leslie's Monthly.

that"
"Of course not" he said, 81 must

"Away?" There was a bit of dis

Foolish" she chided. "You don't

"Ill find him, and-and choke him."
he said, tersely.
She burst into a peal of laughter.

BRITT is CHAMPION.
Wins Decision From Young Corgett in
Twenty Rounds.

Wins Decision From Young Corgett in
Twenty Rounds.
James Britt Of California was given
the decision over William Rothwell
better known as Young Corbett" of
Colorado, in a 20 round contest at San
Francisco. Up to the 18th round Cor
belts advantage was apparent, but in
that round Britt rallied and rained
right and left blows on various por-
tons of Corbetts anatomy, forcing the
champion to clinch to save himself
The styles Of the two boxers were en-
tirely distinctive. Britt fought for the
body most Of the time, while Corbett
devoted himself to the face, head and
jaw. Britt weighed just 129 pounds,
but Corbett's weight was not made
public, though it is understood it was
at least a pound and half below the
agreed weight, 1870 pounds.
Both men fought hard in every
round. Britt, in his crOuching atti-
tude, was able to guard his stomach
effectively, though Corbett was able to
land hard on his head and jaw. In the
first few rounds Britt found the Den
yer mans stomach repeatedly, though
his blows lacked steam.
A Great Fight.
1t was without doubt the greatest
fight fought in California. Britt's abil-
ity to assimilate punishment and his
endurance were simply marvellous. At
no time during the 20 rounds did Britt
break ground. He always brought the
fight to Corbett. Britt was severely
punished. yet was at all times willing
to take more, and finally outgamed
the champion. The pace that both
men set was of a nature to make both
tired. However, their condition, after
minutes respite, brought them to the
center of the ring with renewed vigor.
Britt was better at the outfghting;
COrbett superior in the infghting. Britt
had the best footwork and the greatest
speed. Corbett showed himself the
cleverer fighter at times and the heav-
Ter hitter.
After the fight Referee Eddie Graney
said: 81 simply gave the decision to
the man who had the best of the
fight"
Up to the 18th round Corbett had
the better Of the fight, but from this
round on Britt outfought Corbett at
every stage of the game.
When Corbett reached his dressing
room he burst into tears.
There were about 5000 people in
attendance. The club officials state
that the receipts would total about
$4,000. which is the greatest amount
ever contested for by fighters of Cor
belts and Britt's calibre. Included in
the assemblage were prominent sport
ing men from all over the country.

TWILIGHT.

Dimpling wa ters and sunset skies,
Woods that are half asleep;
Flower lids closing DER tired eyes,
Purple shadows that creep;
Up from the valleys that lie below,
Swift to the mountain crest;
Fading tints of the sunset glow,
The hush of highland rest.
Weary hands that have toiled all day,
While the white winged hours fled,
Tired feet chat have found the way
Lonely, and hard to tread.
Lips that smiled, though the heart
was sore,
Eyes that may never weep
Blessed darkness to veil them o err,
Respite from toil-and sleep.
