JUDGE PARKER continues to pay I01I the penalty of fame with pain O ful regularity. Not only must he be the victim of camera fiends, cartoon ists and autograph cranks but now his live stock is being lifted" from Rose mount for souvenir purposes. The other day the breathless coachman was inform ed by the only hackman in Esopus that he saw four or five cats belonging to the estate wrapped up in overcoats and be- ing escorted away by admirers of Judge Parker. Some of the little pigs are miss ing also and 1t is rumored that a sup porter of the judge actually wanted to carry off one of his horses as a souvenir, but the purity of his motives Is to be questioned. As yet no one has tackled any of the Esopus blooded cattle, espec- ially the male members of the herd but lesser animals are in great danger of be- ing filched. If the present mania for souvenirs continues Judge Parker will soon have a sorely depleted farm and will have to ride on a pass to Washing ton. It has been respectfully suggest ed that the visitors henceforth content themselves with hickory nuts and sim liar articles but what is a hickory nut cats? What the judge ought to do Is to establish regular souvenir bureau where views around about Esopus and pictures of himself in vari-colored bathing suits might be obtained.

 A musical monk" for automobiles has been invented by an expert motorist Of London. The chief advantage of the new instrument is that 1t does away with that monotonous and dismal blast that has already become familiar to ears of every degree all over this fair land. The i'm proved monk" will not be monk at all but a real musical instrument. The operator will be able to sound his warn ing by sliding up and down the scale, and if he has any talent at all he might remind a farm wagon that he is coming by playing one of the latest musical comedy hits. Of course all this will de- pend on keeping the horn in tune, and much will also depend upon the man who does the footing. In fact. if the musical "honk' becomes popular we will be confronted by a new state of affairs in automobile circles. In addition to an expert chaffeur every automobilist of any standing will have to secure the services of trained "honker' who will know how to play the horn in an artistic fashion and without making boobies. He will necessarily be high-priced man, and here we see another opportunity for fellow with wits to make a living.
 Louis Mazzatini is famous matador who has killed more bulls than any other man in the world. Mazzatini is now on his way to Mexico, where he will prob ably kill some more bulls in celebration of his former victories. Mazzatini states the struggle being waged by Rus , ing, and is far from being so bloody as the struggles being waged by Rus sia and Japan. The first part of his assertion will be viewed differently by dif- ferent persons, but all will agree with him on the war proposition. Yet bull fighting is sport and war is not waged for fun. The esteemed Mazzatini should make this distinction and he should also witness a prize fight in order to be con vinced that 1t is just tri1e more manly and less bloody than his own profess sion.

Mobile Register: It is possible that the New York Herald may be wrong in its estimate of the outcome of the election.

Selma Times: The democrats may not succeed in electing Judge Parker but there Is no doubt about the fact that we are giving the managers of the republican party a genuine scare. Judge Parker is acceptable to the business interests of the country. The republicans wanted a man nominated who would antagonize all Of the wealth and corporations of the nation, but the St. Louis convention surprised them-hence they are badly frightened.

The agitation for the return of knee brooches is being continued by certain of our English cousins over the water, notably those who have shapely neither limbs. While everyone Is willing to grant the truthfulness of the argument that knee brooches do not bag, that they are heater, more graceful and show off mans form much better than hideous trousers, the very fact that they do re- veal too much of ones figure initiates against them. If every man had a leg that he would not mind exposing to view the chances are that Knee brooches and silk stockings would come rapidly into favor. If every other man had a presentable calf knee brooches would no doubt be worn. but as matters now stand the nunber of gentlemen with shapey limbs is small, compared to those who have them not and the male part of humanity will continue to wear trous- CTS for some time to come.

YOUNG coRBETT MATCHED.
Will Fight Britt in San Francisco Next
Month

A special from San Francisco says that
William Rothwell Qoung CorbetD and
James E.. Britt have agreed to fight In that
city next February. They will weigh in at
100 pounds. The fight will probably be held
by the Yosemite Club
Britt is lightweight. During all the talk
of pitting MIN against Corbett. since last
November, the all-important weight ques-
ton figured.
'I'H agree to anything reasonable" was
Young Corbett's answer when conditions of
the proposed match were preached. One
hundred and twenty-nne pounds at
o'clock ought TO suit Britt
Make it $780," asked Britt. Then started
the clubbing. Britt was firm. Corbett pro-
fessed to be. too, and not until "Wednesday
night was an agreement reached.
Corbett agreed to BrittS weight terms
and, in fact, everything else to get on the
match.
The pugilists and their managers talked
over matters a dozen times in the last two
weeks, but neither side would waive the
pound difference. At last Britt and Corbett
got together and talked the matter over and
Britt won out.
In accordance with stipulation made by
Corbett the fight will be held prior to Wash
ington's birthday. In all probability Fri
day February 10, will be the date selected.
Britt is a full-grown lightweight, and he
has signed to fight three pounds below the
scale. The weight will suit Young Corbett.
and his main advantage consists of being
permitted to box at a notch that suits him
better than his opponent.
Britt is much taller than Corbett and has
a longer reach. If Jimmy were boxing at
his natural weight he would be topheavy
favorite over the conqueror Of Terry Nc
Govern and Eddie HanlOn, but the pugilistic
sharps figure that 100 pounds will be too
low a notch for him.
Britt, though born fighter. is a business
man as well, and he Is not going into the
battle blindfolded. He knows more about
what he can do In the weight line than any
one else, and that he has agreed to make $50
pounds satisfies his friends that he will be
able to fight in his usual dashing style at
that figure.
