Education and Matrimonv

Whether 1t is better, being uneducaed little noun
tain girl of 10 and having the chance of college educa
ton, to get married and give up the education, no?
This is the question little Mamie Gibson of North Gallo
lima, has answered by choosing matrmony
This is the story:
This is the story
About year ago while standing in the door of her ia
theirs shack Mamie heard big noise and big slice
of mountain sther down the railroad track many
feet deep AT the time she heard the whistle of the
train at the station two miles away.
Mamie Gibson uttered no word She snatched off her
little red petcoat and rushing the railroad track waved
it Justify.
The train stopped and the lives of hundred people
saved.
Then the passengers crowded about the bright little
of the mountains and showered her with silver. In
few days the agent of the railroad company
what Mamie wanted most She said she wanted go
college. All right The railroad company would pay all
expenses and she told to make ready.
Enter young Lochinvar.
Alonzo Ellis is 20 broad shouldered long haired swift
footed handsome uneducated and the best shot in the
country He loved Mamie and told her that married life
better than college
The father objected Mamie too young. And So
like Lochinvar of DID, Ellis carried Mamie away a swift
horse than the father could summon they were mar
red
Query:
Should this gir-considering her fine prospects-have
given up all for the sake of Aonzo Ellis?
And which promised the most for the young
girls future happiness?
Women readers of the Spokane Press especially in
vted to in thesnewspaper the questions raised by
the story of Mamie Gibson.

PARIS, July 31.-Throughout the
cars empire grand duke" and
"profiigate" have long been synono-
nous terms. To tell a Russian that
he is 'no better than a grand duke"
is the greatest possible reproach
against his moral character.
Perhaps the most notorious and
profigate of all the Russian grand
dukes is the Grand Duke Boris, who
shocked Newport society on the oc-
casion of his visit there a couple of
years ago and later was recalled
from the army in Manchuria on ac-
count of his notorious escapades.
The evil reputation of Grand Duke
Boris has not been lessened by the
terribly tragic death of Mile. Anas-
tasia Mazouroff, the youngest daugh-
ter of a well known lawyer and ac-
knowledged to be the most beautiful
girl in Kazan. Despite the rigorous
measures taken by the Russian au-
thorities to prevent the matter be-
coming public the particulars of the
sad affair have just appeared in sew
cral of the Paris newspapers.
Fer some months past, 80 the story
goes, Mile. Mazouroff caused her
friends great anxiety by her peculiar
fits of melancholy and nervous de-
preston. For weeks at a time she
remained in the house, steadfastly
refusing the dozens of invitations
she received to dances and parties.
A week ago, however. her parents
prevailed upon her to accompany
them to n garden party given by the
governor of the city. Here she dis
played unwonted animation, and
throughout the afternoon was the
center of large crowd of admirers.

C0RBETT'S FIGHT TALK
IN TABLOID
PREDIGESTED COMMENTS NRECENT EVENTS IN
ROPED ARENA AS ASSIMILATED BY
GENTLEMAN JIM.

$1,000 he received, to the boosters
His speech, passing the title to the
winner, was like a box of bon bons
to Miss Debutante.
Q . o
As heavyweight, neither Hart nor
Root was seriously considered until
about a year ago. Root never did
have the call and Hart was a fur
away proposition at best.
o o o
And about jeff passing along his
title. AS has been explained in these
columns, he had no more right TO give
away the championship than | had to
give it to Peter Maher some years
ago. It's as impossible now as it
was then.
q o O
When Fitz and l fought at Carson
City the majority of the audience
came from other states. The natives
were not more numerous than on the
occasion of the recent Reno scrap,

which would indicate that the game
has progressed in the silver mine
state.
O o o
Barring Interference, we should
witness some good fights in Nevada
in the future.
O Q o
The Hart-Root fight stirred up
some discussion because it was billed
as finish affair. Fortunately it end
ed before the ordinary 20-round limit
was reached. and there was little
chance for criticism. The possibility
was there. however, and the question
of the advisability of finish fights
naturally arises.
Personally I liked finish fights, al
though 1 seldom had trouble landing
the necessary points in a limited
round go.
But the fans want to get all the
for this reason / believe 20 rounds
are to be preferred to finish engage
ments.
o o o
And then, 20 rounds Is about the
limit of the ordinary mixers endur-
ance, If he has good intentions when
he enters the ring. At the end of
this number of innings the audience
generally has enough and is anxious
for the end.
O o o
Had the Hart-Root affair gone past
the twentieth round, l believe there
would have been twice the howl sent
up by the ants. But as it ended
sooner, the good folks offered little
objection.
o o o
jeff did not make a popular move
when he tried to shake off the cham
pionship onto Hart. And Harris ac-
ceptance without struggle was no
more pleasing to the fans.
o O .
Hart is a big, strong fellow and
believe is the only man capable of
drawing a decent house with Jeffries.
But the people do not look upon Mar
win seriously.

He has never done anything start
ling. and the fact that man like
Root was able to best him for part
of the route is evidence that he is not
entitled to much consideration as
champion.
o Q o
However, Hart will be improving
when the day comes and they do meet
the odds may not be so bad after all.
Anyway, they may make a good fight.
O @ Q
I met Frank Gotch the night of
the Hart-Root fight and asked him
what he thought of his chance
against the Louisville man. He said
he was ready to tackle Marvin when
ever a fight could be arranged.
O O O
Gotch is big and fast, and might
make a tough proposition for Hart.
Should he win, Jeffries would have
something to look forward to and in
terest in the sport would receive an
impetus.
o Q Q
Bob Fitzsimmons ought to receive
credit for striking the hardest blow
ever delivered in the ring.
o . Q
He landed 1t on Makers chin at
Langtry, Tex. 1t was short, right
hand cross, and almost tore off the
Irish champions head. Fitz said
afterward he never hit a man so hard.
Maher was dragged from the ring,
dead to the world, as the result of
that punch, and the first round had
not been concluded.
O Q. Q
Fitz started the punch when his
glove was less than five inches from
Peters jaw, but 1T gathered momen-
tum quickly. a lump bigger than a
baseball appeared where the glove
stopped on Makers anatomy.
Q o @
FiFtz was the only one present who
realized what had occurred. Before
the count had finished he had jumped
over the ropes and was on his way to
his dressing room.

Strike of armerS' Wives
The worm has turned.


Over in Indiana the farmers wives of a certain county
strike. They refuse to provide the three warm
meals day-reguar banquets in fac-demanded by the
who thrash farmers wheat
The threshermen accustomed to big feasts have boy
coted the county and say the farmers wheat crops may
rot in the stacks.
And there you are.
All of which is suggestive to those who have sat down
to the great spreads during the threshng season.
For weeks the farmers wife must plan for the biz feed
Everything in the bouneous of country cooking is
provided Possibly beef is killed Chickens are slaugh-
tered by the dozen There six kinds of pie and other
things in proportion.
All day long the woman must stand over the hot stove
save when the dishes being washed She must be MIN

Who can blame the farmers wives?

Let the wheat rot!
What with her regular duties of cooking and washing
and sewing and the dairy and hundred other things the
farmers wife has enough to do The teshermen can cook
for themselves or eat cold lunch
Out west they do it differently.
The thresher gang carries cookitg outfit and gets its
meals. No extra demand is made on the rancher's
