 Do not. waste your energy and strength in hitting lightly; study well just where to land the blow, and when you hit do 1t with all the strength and force and weight you can muster.
 Just your fist strikes your oppon- ent's body, set your arm rigid and throw your weight against it.
 When you have knocked your oppo- nent down do not rush at him as soon as he is on his feet.
 Take your time. Feint him once or twice. thus confusing him. Then he will probably leave an opening. and you can administer the knockout without danger to yourself.
 I have seen men unduly eager to finish an opponent whom they have knocked down or dazed, rush into the fight, only to receive wild swing on the jaw and meet defeat just at tho moment when the battle was all in their hands-be- cause of failure to defend themselves

Amending an Insult.

New York Times.
 Senator Bailey is responsible for this story which Is to going the rounds of the railroad offices:
 Not long ago an ex-member of tffe Texas Railroad Commission was visited by a representative of 8 new company which wanted the support of the com missioner in the matter of certain fran chises and land grants.
 And shall be glad to let you have, say, 1000 shares of stock, if all goes we'll" said the visitor in conclusion.
 The commissioner was indignant. That. suh," said he, "is an insult. It is an insult, suh. that you shall pay dear ly for. I want you to understand, suh, that I am not to be bought. You shall pay for that word, suh!'
 How much?" said the visitor coolly.
 The commissioner paused. The aues. tion took him unawares. Then a smile came over his face, and he answered Well. suh, I can't say just exactly how much; hut if you tell me what the stock is worth, suh, 1t might help me to find out"

And it is just as easy for the other fei- low to suddenly reach out and mt you n blow that puts you down and out when he catches you in one of your care less moods.

 As to the next item in big mans lighting schedule--his ability to give a pursch that will bring down his man too much attention cannot be given to his education upon this line.
 He is built upon lines that give him a natural advantage for sending in nara blow: He should cultivate his ability in this line, and study out how he can land the hardest blow.
 Remember you have weight to add spesd to the blow if you only throw 1t behind your arm.

 Like every other kind of exercise, how ever, regularity counts for everything.

 The formation of a coal seam in half dozen years or less comes as 8 surprise in view of the millions of years assigned by geoIoGists.

Hampton, July 2.-The government
lands in South Dakota are at present
attracting a large number of people
from this vicinity. Last week party
Of about ten went to Stanley county,
South Dakota, and took UP claims for
government land there. Another party
win go from here probably about the
middle of July. Those who have been
there and taken claims have looked
over the land in the Rosebud agency
and say that they think the govern
ment land which can be homesteaded
there is much better than the Rosebud
land. 1t is proposed to COLOMBO large
number Of the homesteads and get the
Franklin county people to take their
claims out as nearly together as pos
sible and then fence all the land n
and use 1t in common for the raising
of cattle. G. w. Soper, a stock buyer
of this city, was one of the first ones
to use his homestead right there and
he has interested a number of others
who have since gone or will go later.

Davenport, July 2.-Thursday was
the end of the fiscal year in the post
office department. Consequently today
is the busy day for Captain Bryson
and James Farfand at the local office.
The itemized account of the receipts
for the year which has just drawn to
u close, is not yet ready for publica-
ton. 1t Is apparent. however, to the
authorities that the results will show a
healthy gain over the receipts of last
year. When asked this morning what
he thought the gain would be, Post
master Bryson stated that he felt that
this years receipts would better those
of last year by about $4,000. Last
year the total receipts in all depart
ments amounted to S103,245. and the
prospective gain for this year speaks
we'll for the volume of business which
is done thru the postal medium In this
city. This is also pay day in the de-
partment and it will be necessary to
get this part of the work satisfactorily
arranged before full report can be
given.

went to the room he lay in pool of
his own blood, which was still squirting
from the wound In his temple. His
trunk was open and on the top lay
pile of love letters from his sweet
heart on on the top of them lay an
envelope addressed to her which had
been torn open and the letter taken
therei'rom. Young French came here
from Nebraska and had beer working
in the vicinity as farm hand for some
years When the physician arrived on
the scene it was evident that the wound
was a fatal one. No inquest will be
held as it is evident that the wound
came from a gun held In his own hand,
whether from intent or accident will
never be known, but the suicide theory
is the accepted one.
