BOXING CARNIVAL
At HARPERS FERRY
Several Bouts During the
Militia Encampment.
LOWE TO MEET sCR0GGS
Kid Egan and Bud Hurley in Pre-
iminary-Soldiers viii
Also Box.

A series of interesting boxing bouts
has been arranged by Johnny O'Connor
for Harpers Ferry next Friday night,
the second night after the District mill
tia arrives there for the annual eneamp-
ment.
The star bout will be between Tommy
Lowe, of this city, and Harry Scroggs,
who Is now domiciled in Baltimore.
These sturdy youths will wage war one
with another for fifteen rounds at 100
pounds, and as each of them has per-
formed some notable deeds of yalor at
home and abroad, there should be much
sweet contention when they come to-
gether. O'Connor has been trying for a
long time to get them together. but
Scrapper Scroggs has kicked about the
weight, and it was with much difficulty
that he was persuaded to enter the
arena. As Lowe made some disparaging
remarks about the Scroggs young man,
which were repeated to that valorous
battleT, it is presumed that he will have
no reason to report that a very pleasant
evening was spent when they enter the
ring.
AS a prelude to these festivities there
is promised a passage at arms between

With the games of last Monday the
regular season of the Episcopal League

kept the followers Of the different
teams in & state Of excitement. Several
close games have been played and. al
though only one shut-out, that of Epi-

suited, yet the scores average well aud
show progress in team work and individ-
ual playing.

Nature is ever ready to give lavishly
for man to enjoy. She is more than
willing to adorn our front yard with or

deck the ground with grass and flowers
if we will but aid her. The cottage may
be very simple. but if the lawn is green
and neat. the roses in bloom. or the flow

reveals to those who pass along the road,
refinement, comfort and attractiveness.
AS a rule, country home surroundings
are sadly neglected, and this, perhaps,
is due more to urgent field work. than
simple neglect on the,part of the farmer.
Walk out onto your front yard some nice
warm day. and make a careful study of
your present landscape. Note the con-
dition of your lawn. Are there not some
bare places which need reseeding and
some uneven spots that could be won
derfully improved by a little filling in
with a load or two of dirt? Next, have
you enough shade and ornamental trees
and are they standing on their proper
places? Here let me add by way of par

trees directly in front of the house. SO
as to obstruct the view of the public
highway, and don't plant trees too close
together.
