JEFFRlEs TRAINING NOW.
SAYS He Will Work Hard, But VIII
Not Overdo the Thing.

Champion Jim Jeffries has finally
reached Hardin Springs, and has be
gun preparations for his champion
shin battle with Jack Munroe, Which
is to take place at San Francisco on
June IL Hardin Springs has been
the champions training quarters for
all important battles. for he has found
the accommodations convenient and
the location the most desirable for
outdoor exercise, says the New York
American
There are few fighters who enjoy
outdoor exercise as much as the cham
pion When not in training }Jeffrles
very seldom thinks of taking any eX-
ercise. Not that he disllkes the Work
zattashed to it, but he likes to take
things easy and forget all about the
fighting game. When getting ready
zYor a fight, however, it is different.
The fact that he has never been
knocked down by an opponent, and
that he possesses many great advan-
tages over other heavyweiShts does
not make him neglect his condition.
He does not> believe in taking any
chances, and whenever he enters the
ring he is worth bet.
There is no doubt that. Jefries is
confident of defeating Munroe III

-pion intends to take a few weeks Of
active training to fit him for whatever
effort might arise. LET a boxer en-

DREAM OF THE MINER.
Always Expecting to Stumble On .
Colossal FOrtune-But His Best
Finds Are Small.

The first men in the mines were q
sort OF madmen, writes Joaquin Miller,
In the Sunset Magazine. Like Cortez
and his men, they expected every day,
every hour, to come upon untold wealth.
Men really expected to find houses Of
gold, or at least nuggets as big as barns.
remember that always, day after day.
year after year, expected, some time
and in some strange and sudden way,
to stumble on colossal fortune. Yet
II should receive 25 cents day for
what work l did in the mines there
would to-day be quite balance to my
credit, and hundred thousand miners
could say as much.
No, the mines never paid the men
who worked them greatly, whether in
this rich camp or elsewhere. But the
gold that was dug out contributed to the
wealth Of the world and carried it on and
up, SO that no one should now complain.
The great big Jumps of gold, however,
were never found. You can search the
gold history of all Australia through and
through, as well as California, and be
surprised to learn that there was never
yet single lump or nugget Of gold found
too heavy to be handled by even wom-
an. Many nuggets were found, it is
true, that were very promising in weight
and size, but that was all. Yet they
were like alluring beacon lights, and

A UNIQUE NEWSPAPER.
r. steaa-Wll BE Sociological
IN Character.

William T. Stead announces that he
will begin publishing unique newspa-
per in London in January. 1t probably
will be known as the Daily Paper, and
be almost entirely sociological in char
acter. Girls will deliver the sheet at
homes after the husband has gone to his
business. The messengers will collect
orders on tradesmen, to be telephoned
at the expense of the publisher from
depots established for the purpose, and
the goods desired will be delivered COLI
lect by the storekeeper a few hours later.
Several other innovations are proposed
along this line. The news columns will
be devoted almost exclusively to news
for home circles, no sporting or mar
ket items being published. Four sdi-
tons are planned. each suited TO the
various divisions of the city. Mr.. Stead
says the editorial views will b intense
ly political, but not partisan.

COSTLY RELICS.
Russian General Offers Cathedral .
Half Million Dollars for Bones
of st. Nicholas.

Bari and Venice have always disputed
as to which of them possesses the au-
thentic bones of st. Nicholas, but there
would seem to be no doubt in the mind
Of the Russian Gen. Bagdonovitch, who
on seeing them offered the cathedral Of
Bari 100000 rubles (about 1901 .000) for
them, with the intention of taking them
to Russia, where this saint is extraordi-
narily popular 1t appears that Gen.
Bagdonovitch was visiting Bari when he
saw the relics, which are at the bottom
Of species of well, the bones being
crossed and water springing from them
continually. He became very thought
full, and then exclaimed: II will give
you 100000 rubles for them" When
those present smiled, thinking that he
was joking, he repeated his offer several
times, but of course 1t was refused. The
present car, as czarowitz. visited the
same relics. while the cathedral was the
scene of Queen Helena's adjuration OF
the orthodox creed and her conversion to
Roman Catholicism. 1t is thought
that the matter will not end here, and
that the general will make further eff
forts to secure the bones, but OF course
he has no chance OF success.

VALUE OF A GOOD YAwN.
Nerves and Contracted Muscles
RESTS the Whole Body.

Yawning is not at all times an in
dication Of a feeling of laziness. More
frequently it is an evidence that GER
tain muscles have been overstrained
and require rest. Medical men aver
that yawn is natures demand for
rest. Some people think they only
yawn because they are sleepy. But
this is not so. You yawn because you
are tired. You may be sleepy, also, but
that is not the real cause of your
yawning. You are sleepy because you
are tired, and you yawn because you
are tired.
Whenever you feel like yawning, just
yawn. Don't try to suppress it, be-
cause you think it is impolite to
yawn. Put your hand over your
mouth, if you want to, but let the yawn
come. And if you are where you
can stretch at the same time that you
yawn, just stretch and yawn. This is
natures way of stretching and relax
ing the muscles.
Don't be afraid to open your mouth
wide and yawn and stretch whenever
you feel like it. Indeed, if you are
very tired, but do not feel like yawn-
ing. there is nothing that will rest you
so quickly as to sit on straight
backed chair, and, lifting the feet from
the floor, push them out in front of
you as far as possible. stretch the
arms, put the head back, open the
mouth wide, and make yourself yawn.
Those tense nerves will relax, the
contracted muscles will stretch, and the
whole body will be rested Do this
! two or three times when you are tired,
and see what it will Go for you.
